Laurie is AMAZING. She planned my wedding in 2 weeks after I had to find a new location due to covid. It was beautiful, and she is one of the nicest people I've ever met. Can't say enough about the Makena weddings team and vendors, they are the best in the business.

What a perfect day! Laurie and Cindy at Makena Weddings are amazing -- they planned, coordinated and put together an absolutely stunning, super fun and super beautiful wedding that included all of our requests and was really tailored to us -- they made everything incredibly easy for us (we live in Australia, so they took care of ALL details locally, answered all our questions, and were always available to us), and made all our dreams come true. We had numerous guests tell us this was the best wedding they had ever been to. Couldn't be happier -- thank you so much Laurie and Cindy!! If you are thinking of getting married in Maui, absolutely book Makena Weddings. xx
If I could describe Laurie in one word it would be LIFESAVER. My husband and I had been planning our Maui wedding for 15 months until COVID turned everything upside down. However, we were committed to our original wedding date and getting married on Maui no matter what happened. We contacted Laurie about a month before our date when all of our original plans had been canceled, all of our guests couldn't attend because of travel restrictions, and everything seemed hopeless. Miraculously, Laurie was available and she immediately put everything into motion for us. We flew to Maui and had to do a mandatory 14-day quarantine, during which Laurie was hard at work with all of the vendors to get everything lined up for our elopement. With years of experience under her belt and great relationships with all the vendors on Maui, Laurie was able to negotiate reasonable prices for us and lock down these commitments even when most businesses weren't operating. When we got out of our quarantine, Laurie set up a meeting to thoroughly walk us through everything she had done and to personally show us the beautiful Kukahiko Estate that we booked. Then our wedding day came and Laurie truly went out of her way to make us feel special. She called me to make sure my nerves were ok and even helped me zip up my dress as I was getting ready! Everything came together seamlessly and we didn't have to lift a finger or worry about a thing. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect day and it was all thanks to Laurie. On top of being a dream to work with, she is a kind, warm, and genuine person. I would 10/10 recommend her in a heartbeat!
Planning a wedding in general is hard enough, let alone during Covid. However, working with Laurie made this experience so much more doable. She was there to guide us through the entire thing and orchestrate getting us set up with amazing vendors! Laurie truly lifted so much stress off of my new husband Jordan and myself. When we arrived to Wailea, we were able to meet up with her and go over all that was planned throughout the months via email and phone calls. And then wedding day came and voila everything was ALREADY DONE for us! It was absolutely perfect! Not to mention the people Laurie recommended to us for vendors were absolutely amazing! By having Laurie and Cindy a part of our day , it not only made a Covid wedding doable but it also made it as magical as we could imagine. We keep telling ourselves how the entire day just felt like a fairytale. But this time it was our own! Thank you so much Laurie and Cindy ,we are so thankful for all you did and that we were able to work with you. Mahalo!
Cindy and Laurie of Makena Weddings made our wedding day the most amazing day ever. Communication was always easy, and there was not a single thing I had to worry about on the day of the wedding - can’t tell you how much I appreciate that! Our wedding day was more beautiful than we could have imagined, and it’s a day our families and ourselves will not stop talking about. Everyone was in awe of our special day! We are so happy with our memories of that day, and our communication with Makena Wedding in general, and would not change a single thing. I’m a bit of a control freak when it comes to anything like this, so I’m always skeptical of getting help from others but the best decision I made was hiring Makena Weddings!!! We are beyond grateful for everything they did. Not only Cindy and Laurie, but Al put on an AMAZING ceremony for us that everyone absolutely loved. His words were so moving and unforgettable. We have nothing but PERFECT memories of our wedding day, and we have Makena Weddings to thank for that. You will not go wrong choosing them!!!
How do you thank the people who helped make the most important and special day of your life go off with out a hiccup. Cindy and Laurie words could never explain the gratitude and love we feel for you two ladies. You were on point. In about 100 days you helped us create pure magic, answered every question and delivered the wedding of our dreams. We chose your company knowing that we would probably not see in person very much before the big day. We knew all the discussions and collaborations would be via phone and email. We trusted that you would take our vision and be able to manifest our dream into reality. Well, you did it. On our big day you had everything running like a well oiled machine. I felt so cared for and guided through each and every moment. Everyone had a blast and it was truly the happiest day of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting so much Aloha into our Maui wedding. Rev Al was fantastic. I could not find the words to thank him for making the most important moment of our lives feel so incredibly special. He spoke from the heart and truly warmed everyone's heart at the same time. His love and kindness will be forever etched into my memories. Everyone had something amazing to say about his delivery. The next time we are on the island we will stop by and give you all a big hug. Trust me....if you are planning a wedding go with these amazing ladies. You will be impressed beyond your wildest dreams.
Where do we begin… Cindy and Laurie made our wedding more than anything we could’ve ever dreamed of. We got married February 2020 at Maria Lanakila Catholic Church and had the reception at Olowalu Plantation. Throughout the year leading up to our wedding we were mostly in contact with Cindy and she made the process of finding the perfect vendors within our budget simple. I voiced to her multiple times that I felt like I wasn’t “stressed” enough because she was handling the details and making it so easy for me. We were pretty much hands off with the majority of the wedding planning and trusted both Cindy and Laurie as well as the vendors to use their creative talents …… they blew our expectations out of the water. Our wedding was a fairytale and they handled every tiny detail so we could enjoy our day and soak up every special moment without having to worry. Laurie had my back during the rehearsal when I wanted the ceremony to flow differently than normally done at the church and ensured it would work out how I wanted. The vendors they work with are exceptional.. Marvin Tevaga & hula dancers, Angela Nelson Photography, Aloha Bars, and Café O Lei catering. The star of the reception were the floral arrangements. We worked with Dellables and gave her a look we were hoping for and let her take it away with designing the floral arrangements and bouquets however she wanted. It was like we walked into a floral jungle and our guests still to this day cannot stop raving about how breathtaking it was. Pictures just do not do justice to how well the entire reception was executed. She also made personalized bouquets for my sisters/bridesmaids based on their individual dresses. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish (even complete with whales jumping off shore and rainbows!). Laurie and Cindy are truly the best at what they do. Trust me, these two will make your dreams for your wedding turn into reality!!
There are no words to describe Makena Weddings, (Laurie, Cindy and Al) Our wedding planning process was completely stress free from the day we picked our date until the end of the evening of our Wedding day. They went above and beyond in so many ways. Our day could not have been better and our guests even told us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Laurie made everyone in our bridal party so at ease and added some beautiful touches that we didn't even think of. Al's ceremony was so beautiful and personal. Laurie was there every step of the way to answer questions and help with coordinating with our vendors. (And I had A LOT of questions along the way) and even though we were so far away, I never felt like I couldn't call or email. Laurie was always so quick to get back to me every time. She has been in the business for so long and knew exactly who would work best with us. I really cant say enough about Makena Weddings. We are so grateful to them for helping to make our day so perfect.
