About Weddings & Events by Lei

Weddings & Events by Lei

Owner & Event Planner

I’ve always felt a special connection to Hawaii growing up in paradise. So many people dream of spending just a few days here and I’ve been fortunate to have spent my entire life here. It truly is such a beautiful place and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all it has to offer. I love getting to know each couple’s personalities and build new relationships. Most of all, I believe that life’s celebrations should be memorable and special in every way possible. I've been helping couples plan their dream weddings for over 17 years and love seeing how happy they are!

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, I have an extensive knowledge of the island and I am able to confidently guide couples through planning their Hawaii wedding. I have a diverse background in events, including catering, fundraising, flowers & decor, and event rentals.

In three words: Calm, Honest, Organized

I recently got married on November 29th ,2025 and all I want to do is go back and relive this day! Lei worked with us on everything we were looking for in a coordinator and made our wedding the most memorable thing we could ever ask for! She is so sweet, hard working, helpful and someone we will forever be thankful for and recommend for all weddings and events ! She provided great advice/suggestions and communication with all vendors/venue . Lei solved and fixed issues with our florist delivery the day of the wedding within minutes like it never happened. Everything was perfect! She made our wedding day go so smooth and special. All our family members and close friends keep telling us how Beautiful and awesome our wedding was and how much they loved it and it’s all thanks to Lei! Without her our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was ! We highly recommend her !! With much love and appreciation The Vincents

Weddings & Events by Lei was the perfect wedding planning partner for our special day. From the moment we started working with her, we were impressed by her kind-hearted, patient, and attentive communication style. She was detail-driven, resourceful and unshakably calm, handling every tiny blunder with such grace that no one even noticed. Her steady presence kept the entire day feeling peaceful and seamless, and I couldn't have asked for a more thoughtful or capable person to bring everything together so beautifully.

Lei provided day-of coordination for our destination wedding, and she was absolutely exceptional! Her communication throughout the planning process was consistently prompt, professional, and warm. As someone who is extremely detail-oriented and Type-A, I have high expectations that can be hard to meet—Lei not only met but exceeded them at every turn. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Lei meticulously helped ensure all details were in order, including helping us resolve some last minute hiccups. On our actual wedding day, her execution was flawless. She skillfully managed our timeline and vendors with a calm efficiency. We were also impressed with Lei's anticipation of our needs before they arose. She made sure we were properly taken care of throughout our entire wedding day—ensuring we ate, had moments to breathe, and could truly enjoy our celebration. For any couple planning a destination wedding in Hawaii, I cannot recommend Lei highly enough. Her exceptional organizational skills, calm demeanor, and genuine care made our special day absolutely perfect!
