Got maui’d on 1/10/24. Our experience was a bit extraordinary because our elopement was cancelled twice. It was originally supposed to be 8/23/23 but the Lahaina fires happened and decided to move the date. 1/9/24 was the chosen date but a storm came to the island that day and there was even flash flood warnings. On 1/10/24 the skies were blue and a rainbow even showed up right before we started. It all worked out after all…at the right time. Darci was accommodating and understanding all throughout. The hustle and bustle of weddings are not for me. She took care of everything and mainly just showed up for the ceremony. If that’s how you are too then book your weddings with her! Plus, getting married in Maui is a dream come true. Mahalo Darci, photographer Ian and the officiant Robert Kuya were all so nice… and the whole team! 🤍

Darci and her staff were the best. Thanks to Darci, she helped me with planning my wedding which was above and beyond my expectations. She was always quick to respond to my many questions along the way. Even though I had a small wedding, she always made me feel as though my small wedding was as important as a huge wedding. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is planning on a wedding in Maui. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t thank her and her staff enough for creating the wedding of my dreams.

Darci and her team went above and beyond to make our day special! With the unfortunate events that occurred on Maui, we were a bit hesitant to continue with our wedding. Darci reassured us that she could still make our dream come true and that we were still welcome to the island. The locals were also very welcoming, and happy to have us, as tourism is their number one revenue. I couldn’t recommend her more! If you are having any second thoughts about continuing with a wedding in the future, please be assured, the rest of the island is open, and very welcoming! Everyone here is a delight! You can really feel the love and Darci has adopted families to help out during their time of need, which makes her and her team that much more great! Everyone was such a pleasure to work with, and we couldn’t be happier!

Darci met with us prior to the wedding and gave us a gift card to an amazing restaurant, she couldn’t have be any sweeter and even greeted us with hugs. The ceremony went off without a hitch. Penny was our photographer and she was super nice and guided us smoothly to take breathtaking photos. Mahalo!

Oh’ my gosh!! Where do I begin?! Darci is absolutely the most amazing wedding planner/coordinator/fixer/friend ever !! We planned to have our daughter’s wedding 2 weeks after the Lahaina wildfires and weren’t even sure if we should move forward after such devastation. Darci assured us that, yes, we were moving forward and going to have the wedding. The people of Maui and everyone involved in the wedding were so appreciative and welcoming to us all. I’m not sure how she did it, but Darci pulled it off, despite several cancellations due to the fires. My daughter’s wedding was absolutely flawless! From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour musician, to the fire dancer, the dinner, dancing, Photo Booth, DJ and everything in between!! Darci is very dedicated to her work and to making the day fabulous for the entire wedding party! From the biggest task to the smallest detail, Darci covered it all with expertise, kindness and professionalism .We couldn’t have asked for a better planner, who has now become a friend! Big Mahalos to Darci Palmer and her amazing team !! Absolutely the best !!

I can express the feeling of love I have for Darci for helping plan the absolute perfect wedding. She took the time to get to know us. When the fire happened she was in tough everyday encouraging us to still come and helped us move everything to the other side of the island.

When I first began planning my wedding, my venue recommended Darci and her staff at Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, and I was not disappointed! She was so easy to work with (even from afar), and was always quick to answer any and all questions I came up with. When we began planning the intricacies of my event, she had TONS of recommendations and ideas that all perfectly matched my vision. The entire day ran PERFECT and the end result was beyond anything I could have even imagined- straight from my Pinterest board! If you are looking for a team that knows how to take care of business to ensure your day runs smooth while making your dreams come true, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Darci and her team!

February wedding

Darci was wonderful to work with. I sent in a request and within a few mins she responded. She had everything prepared for our wedding, flowers, photographer, cake and officiant and no stress for us as a couple. Our wedding was during Hawaii winter season but the beach she recommended was perfect weather on the day of our wedding. Robert the officiant was wonderful and Ian the photographer did a great job. Thanks to Darci we enjoyed a vacation with a wedding included and did not have to worry about making sure anything was done. Darci goes above and beyond and helps make a special occasion amazing.

Unforgettable

Our wedding was an absolute dream. Darci was incredible at making the planning process go as smooth as possible. We had a hiccup beforehand and werent sure if our officiant Robert Kuya would be able to make it, and Darci was able to get another in time. Both officiants ended up making it, and both Kahu Alalani and Robert Kuya performed our ceremony. It felt extra special and we will always have a piece of our hearts here. Definitely recommend!

Our wedding was the most magical, beautiful, and fun day of our lives. Darci effortlessly pulled all of the details together to make it possible. I communicated with her via text and phone throughout the course of 7 months, she was always patient, kind, and answered all of my questions. On the day of, Darci and Penny were just fantastic. Their attitudes were contagious, and they made everyone feel comfortable. Darci very clearly told us what we needed to do and we really felt like we were in capable hands. I trusted that I could simply tell her what I wanted and she would make it happen. And that’s exactly how it went. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and we will always be grateful to Darci and Penny!!

My husband and I had been engaged since 2018 and the pandemic had sidelined our initial wedding plans in California. Coming from Canada, it was daunting to contemplate organizing a wedding in Maui but Darci made everything work for us. We enjoyed a glorious morning wedding on the beach with family and friends-even remotely by Zoom. We couldn’t have been more thrilled!

Darci was wonderful. She helped us every step of the way. We travelled to HI from PA and had many questions. She patiently answered all of them. We missed our marriage license appointment because our plane was late and she helped us arrange another time. Sherylinn at the license center waited for us. Reverend Kuya was wonderful and our photographer Ian from Penny Palmer photography helped us feel comfortable and made memories for a lifetime.

Everything about working with Aloha Maui Dream wedding was amazing! Booking a destination wedding can be a bit scary due to not being able to physically be there. I feel so lucky to have found Darci and her team. We tried other places, Darci topped everyone in communication and knowledge. Everything was all I wanted for my wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planner, do not look anywhere else. Trust Darci and her team and when the day comes just know that they will be there to make everything run smoothly!

Chose AMDW!

I completely agree with everyone else here – Darci and her team were remarkable. I thought of myself as a pretty hands-off bride and had a slight moment of panic the month before our wedding… can a Word doc with a few pictures and notes be enough to execute a wedding? Well, it was literally magical! And it’s not just the couple saying that – everyone in our family and wedding guests did too. The venue, flowers, vendors, etc. were all better than I could have imagined. I left a lot of details up to her and she crushed it!

Darci is a total professional with a lot of experience and connections on the island. You can trust her for everything along the way. Which is exactly what you want for a destination wedding that doubles as a vacation! We enjoyed the wedding weekend with zero stress knowing that if anything came up, Darci would take care of it. I can’t recommend her and her team enough.

A couple of small notes in case it helps: It seems like she prefers text and email as a means of communication after the initial call (easier to refer back to, so I was on board). She has a well-oiled cadence that gets things done when they need to get done, but she has a lot of clients so it wasn’t super hands-on in our case until 2 weeks out. Then you feel like her top priority 🙂

Darci and her team are simply amazing! And it doesn’t stop with just the planning of the wedding! They are above and beyond amazing! You will not be disappointed!
From time of booking until a week after we arrived back home… still so responsive and helpful! I could go on and on about how wonderful her entire team is… but I promise you. Book your wedding with her and you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
I never imagined that my dream wedding could be so carefree and without an ounce of stress! We simply showed up that morning at 8:00 am.. which at first I was like… seriously? But Darci assured me I would not be disappointed due to the color of the water and lighting the morning sun provided! Visit Penny Palmer photography on Facebook to see the magnificence of color for yourself!
Upon our arrival she had everything I described ready and on point, right down to a replica open ended lei I wanted carry draped across my arms. The ceremony was fun.. lighthearted and relaxed.. just as we dreamed! Her team is complete with just real down to earth people. The kind you would love to go out and have a night on the town with.

A few days after the wedding we ended up with a flat tire up in the mountains, an hour away from civilization.. within minutes she was on the phone with me, knew exactly where we were based on our description and helped arrange a tow truck to come get us! Then continued to follow up with us the next day to assure all was well!
I guess you could consider her and her colleagues the epitome of a full service company!
So if your reading this review as I did before booking with her.. don’t hesitate.. don’t question yourself.. email her and then sit back and relax, because the hardest part is over! The rest will be the best experience you can ever imagine!

A magical experience

With this being our first trip off the mainland US and not knowing what to expect, these wonderful ladies brought us the experience of a lifetime. We expected a run of the mill conveyor belt wedding service and were provided a breathtaking experience where we were catered to, explained, and put as the center of attention every step of the way. We were asked to provide a synopsis of our relationship prior to our vacation and were astounded when they recalled so many details, as if they did their homework to tailor the experience to us with extreme precision. Exceeding expectation is an understatement. We can’t recommend Darci and Penny enough!!!!

Everything we wanted
Due to work circumstances, we had to quickly plan our trip to Maui which meant we had no time to plan a wedding. I emailed Aloha Maui Dream Weddings while sitting at dinner and had a response from Darci within minutes. We texted for a while that evening and we got all the information we needed to make a decision the next day. Three days later we got married with a wonderful officiant at Po’ Olenalena Beach. Darci was in constant communication leading up to the wedding and even the morning of the wedding as we were driving down to the south coast due to the huge waves. The ceremony was beautiful and Darci and Penny took great care to take pictures safely due to the waves. Darci’s positive attitude and encouragement during the whole process was amazing and so helpful. She put our minds at ease and really helped us focus on the moment and our wedding.

Amazing Experience
Darci and team were amazing to work with. They were a joy to work with throughout the entire wedding process. Even went above and beyond and changed the entire venue the day before the wedding due to swells taking out a chunk of the ideal section of beach that we had planned. She moved us to another beach which turned to be even better than we originally chose. It was a night to remember and every single person in our party said it was such a perfect wedding and reception!

Fabulous

I attended a vow renewal ceremony that was held at Olowalu on Maui. WOW! WOW! WOW! It was incredible! The venue was beautiful! The ceremony was sweet and tender and the bride and groom were so happy! Darci and team did a fantastic job with the setup and all the little details. They really thought of everything! There were games to keep the kids occupied, beautiful table decorations, great food and drinks! But that’s not all! The entertainment during and after dinner was beyond my wildest expectations. Live music, hula dancers and even a fire dancer!!! (Who were all Amazing!) During the entire event, Darci and Penny never stood still and ensured everything was perfect while coordinating each incredible element without a hitch.
Penny ensured that photos captured every transition and they turned out perfect! She knows how to utilize the lighting to everyone’s benefit and the photos were extraordinary! (And this from someone who hates being photographed)
I highly recommend Aloha Maui Dream Weddings! They create memories of a lifetime ! I will never forget what a awesome ceremony this was.

She loves what she does and it not only shows in how she works with you but throughout all aspects of the experience.

So I don’t know where to begin… so I’ll try and keep it short (if I can lol)
Our dream was to get married in Maui, we googled wedding planners not knowing anything bout anything in Hawaii and we came across DARCI, and boy can I say she was God sent … she returned our call within minutes, and gave us so many options and answered so many questions that we had.
So here’s the story..
Me and my wife were supposed to get married Nov 2020 but due to Covid the hotel and Airline cancelled on us.. so we were all paid and ready to go… now I was sick to my stomach that this couldn’t happen and how will we know when it would open up and will we be able to afford it down the line … we’ll Darci was our angel she reassured us that we will figure it out and it would be just as we planned and better … she kept in touch with us often to just touch base , which helped ease the worries
so fast forward to feb 2022… our wedding is planned and we are heading there , not knowing anything or anyone but her and her wife penny (thru emails and phone calls) well we arrive and Darci was more than just a wedding planner , she assisted us in everything .. from daily activities to places to eat and see to having the most AMAZING STUNNING FABULOUS WEDDING we could ever dream of having!!!
Our wedding day was so beautiful something we both we will never forget.. she took all our worries and threw them away… and I’m a worry wart
So I’ll cut this short now lol
If you are looking for someone to plan ur wedding and (we are from New York) & make it a day u will never forget then DARCI IS THE WOMAN TO GO TO!!
I will never forget our day or the woman who made it happen … Darci thank you for making our dreams come true.. u are a genuine wonderful easy going and worked with us so well we CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH

Anna’s Review..

I’m saddened that this couple did not share anything with me until months later through this review – I thought we had fun together that day. Their guests and I spent more than a half hour laughing and talking about Maui history together while waiting for the second bride who showed up late. I was given no indication that either of them had thought me as negative and I’m so sorry that is their takeaway.

So– takeaways for future brides, no matter which company you choose.

When you have one of the 2 smallest beach ceremony packages, please do not assume that the Planner will drive to the other side of the island to meet you to stand and look at the beach together, especially if she is already doing a wedding on that day as well as running around town to pick up everything for your special wedding the next day.

If you decide to order a flower petal path: We use approximately 75-100 heads of roses. When you arrive to your ceremony 35 minutes late and you’ve chosen one of the windiest beaches on Maui, please do not expect your petals to still be in a path. We do wait until just before your start time to create your path, but the wind will scatter them everywhere and we have no control over that.

Photos: We do not stop ceremonies for outfit adjustments unless absolutely necessary because we want you to stay in the moment and enjoy the connection you are sharing with each other. Please remember to wear something that is appropriate for Hawaii heat and that fits you properly. Couples are always warned about how the day heats up and we always recommend that you start by 8:00. If you choose a later start time or decide to be late to your ceremony, you can expect to be hotter. If you know that you typically sweat a lot, you may wish to bring a handkerchief or such to address that issue.

Anna said…

My wedding was amazing! I loved every moment of my special day. We hired Darci mainly because she is also a LBGTQ person. I enjoyed most of my conversations with Darci. She seemed that she was willing and able to help us with anything we asked. OH BOY were we wrong! Leading up to our wedding day…Darci refused to meet us the day before at wedding location and she has the nasty attitude (we were not aware of that). We paid $110 for flower petal path…it was just random flower thrown across the beach. When obviously if you are paying this kind of money you would expect a design or actually aisle with flower petals down it. I wasn’t very pleased with our wedding photos. They were a few photos with my sweating makeup (which could have easy been touched up before the photo for taken or touch up and then retake the photo) and my wife clothes were bunched up in most of photos during ceremony…paying attention to details while taking someone wedding photos is extremely important. Overall I was disappointed by the wedding planner once we arrived in Hawaii. We are so glad that our love overpowered the negativity from Darci.

Laura’s Review…

I’m so sorry that she felt chastised as I in no way want anyone to feel this way- ever! A lot of good points can be gathered from this review for future brides, no matter which company you select:

If you buy one of the smallest packages that a company offers, please do not expect all the bells and whistles that other couples have received when they have spent the extra money to embellish their ceremony. That just wouldn’t be fair to the other couples.

If you choose to bring your own Officiant, we’re 100% supportive and will even fill in the blanks behind Hawaiian traditions on a conference call with him/her. But please know that you are taking away work from our local Officiants so please do not ask us to do all the research on your behalf.

If you choose to add a reception and not work through us for it, please do not expect our team to organize or handle it. You have a contract direct with the venue for that. We are happy to shoulder all the responsibility when you hire us to handle it. I do make recommendations for companies that provide flowers and hair & makeup. We want to reduce as much of the stress of planning as possible – if you do not want to use our recommendation, please do not feel obligated – you are free to use whomever you’d like. I do think the florist did a pretty good job matching her inspiration photo though.

Blue Bouquets

We do the best we can with communication. Covid caused the changing of gathering sizes on a daily basis here in Hawaii. We lost a State Agent for licensing and multiple emails were sent out by the former and replacement agents. We did step in to alleviate the confusion and move all clients to the new agent but did not know the other 2 were also sending out emails. We did think we were being proactive – apparently all 3 of us did and that caused more confusion. I will always be upfront and honest with you, even if it is not favorable to us. I will always do the best I can for you. Mahalo.

Laura said…

I would truly hesitate in recommending Darci as a wedding planner. We decided to go with her since she was a lesbian business owner so felt comfortable with her handling our same sex wedding. We started planning a year in advance and she was super responsive in her communication. The problems started when we wanted to switch our location from the beach (issues with numbers and covid) to Gannon’s which is where we had booked our reception. She made the switch for us but a few months later on a call with us she chastised us for not letting her know we made a switch. She didn’t recall being the one to make the change for us. On the same call, which was about 4 to 5 months out from our wedding, she mentioned she would refer us to a hair and makeup person. I never heard anything back. Two weeks before we were set to leave for Maui I get a text from a random number about my hair and makeup and my appointment that had been set. I had heard nothing about it. No mention of the name, the cost etc. I had booked my own hair and makeup, as did my wife, as I really decided to not to ask for anything extra from Darci. Invoices were consistently wrong. At one time there were emails back and forth, trying to correct an invoice with items needed for the wedding as I would let her know that we didn’t want the addition of she had left off a request and continuously the invoice She set our appointment to get her marriage license and the person we were meeting with sent us a detailed message. Darci sent a detailed message a few days later and it contradicted one or two things so we asked. She said, “well I don’t know what they send out”. You do this as part of your package but you don’t know? We had our own officiant and we needed help with information on knowing if our officiant could sign our paperwork. She said she didn’t know. Nor did she put much effort to find out. We did the leg work to figure it out.

Our personal friend officiant decided to hire a Hawaiian officiant to co officiate to help with the Hawaiian traditions which we were thrilled about. It was supposed to a surprise, but Darci accidentally told us about it. No harm done as it didn’t register until after. Our friend said, Darci was very timely in making the request happen. However, Darci was quick to charge our friend even though our package included an officiant. When I asked Darci about the charge she said it was because we got her as a day of coordinator instead. And she refunded the money. I let her know it wasn’t necessary for the refund but I did want to understand the charge. I had no idea she wasn’t also the day of person as I was led to believe they were one and the same. Perhaps our fault? But I see these other reviews where she was there the day of? Does that change when you change venue. She wasn’t there for our reception and we didn’t ask her to be so still a bit confused.

Bottom line…. Terrible communication from midway to finish. Being fast to respond doesn’t mean you are accurate in your response. She also chastised us on our wedding day for not having our cell phones with us as she was trying to send a text telling us to meet in the lobby. Where exactly was I supposed to put my cell phone? My wife and I were already in the lobby. I asked “is this not the lobby?”. She assumes you know stuff that we wouldn’t know! It was maddening. Our floral bouquets were basically thrown at us (not done how we we envisioned, but still beautiful) and said “well I don’t know what happened with the florals, something happened”. We are pretty easy going and our day was beautiful, but we stayed on top of things and created the day we wanted. Darci created a headache for us. If you want a cookie cut out beach ceremony she is your person, if you ask for anything other than what she can do using her standard people then you might have issues. I am truly happy that there are so many positive reviews, trying to still figure out why things were a headache for us!

My husband and I got married (just the two of us) in Maui since we didn’t want any of the wedding planning headaches.. but we still wanted it to feel special and have beautiful photos from the day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Darci and Penny. Darci made the entire process SO easy – she handled all the details so all we had to do was show-up, no stress involved! She was so communicative and went above and beyond to give us a personalized experience and make our day absolutely perfect. Penny made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the photos and they turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married in Maui!

If you want to get married on Maui (trust me, you do), this is the company to contact. One email sets the ball rolling, and everything you need gets covered—even if you didn’t know you needed it. Ours was a purposely casual, toes in the sand event, because that’s the kind of people we are, but even those small affairs have a lot of behind the scenes things that need to be handled . If you’re not from there, it’s hard to know all the rules, so a local planner is really helpful. AMDW did it all—permits, license appointment, officiant, and all the info we needed to complete before and after we arrived. Extremely reasonable pricing. All we had to do was show up and kick off our shoes. 100% seamless in the paperwork process and our officiant, Reverend Kuya, was wonderful. He put everyone at ease immediately, which allowed us to relax and have fun while he bestowed us with a beautiful and meaningful blessing. I would recommend them to anyone.

Wonderful!

I really enjoyed working with Darci at Aloha Maui Dream Weddings! Out the gate she was timely, encouraging and knowledgeable. In person Darci made sure our wedding was on time, organized and exactly what I wanted. She convinced me to do an early morning wedding at Po’olenalena Beach (originally I wanted to do a sunset wedding) and I was so glad she did! The temperature was much cooler, the lighting was just right & we had the rest of the day to celebrate. It was overwhelming combing through all the companies in Maui that offer wedding services, and I am so happy I decided to go with Darci! Thank you for everything!

Wonderful Wedding

My husband and I decided to get married a week before the big day. I called Darci to see if this could work, and she made the process so easy. Between arranging the marriage license, flowers, hair/makeup, wedding official, music, photos, and video, really all we had to do was make a few decisions and show up. We both agree that this was the best decision and were very pleased with how everything from the ceremony to photos to video turned out.

So easy and stress free!

Aloha Maui Dream Wedding helped us arrange our license and wedding in under a week! Given COVID challenges, we decided to have a minimalist wedding while we were vacationing in Maui. I never would have imagined that we could get married with so little stress (or planning!) The day was perfect and this company helped us make sure it was exactly what we wanted.

We can’t speak highly enough about our experience with the fantastic people at Aloha Dream Weddings. Darci and Penny were AMAZING!
It’s usually very difficult planning a wedding or event from thousands of miles away from the location, but with these guys, it was seamless and stress-free. They were responsive, professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and extremely helpful the day of. They literally handled EVERYTHING! We were able to enjoy our beautiful day without worry, which was the most important thing to us. Darci and Penny aren’t just amazing at what they do, they are amazing people as well.

Let me first start with how super amazing Darci was with helping me plan my simple,
basically an elopement wedding with only 4 of us. We had the basic package and no extra frills but she still
make me feel like I/We were a priority to get the wedding we had envisioned. She gave us great information on
beaches best for sunset weddings and where to get a wedding cake. She also helped send us links on covid regulations for Hawaii.
I really enjoyed her sense of humor and friendliness as well as again making me feel like my wedding was a big deal even
though it was super small scale compared to what I am sure she is used to. The officiant to the photographer were also the absolute best!
We LOVE OUR EXPERIENCE fully and extremely grateful. My only sadness is that I actually didn’t get to meet her. 🙂
Cheers and Mahalos for your time!

Prior to reaching out to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, my then fiancee’ and I had to make a really tough decision to cancel our wedding that was scheduled during the labor weekend, due to the rise in Covid-19 cases. Feeling frustrated and sad, we decided to celebrate “us” in Maui and move forward with an elopement wedding ceremony. We searched and communicated with multiple wedding coordinators, in hopes that there would be a last minute booking availability. To our luck, most of the vendors were either already booked or they couldn’t accommodate our last minute request. After continually searching and almost giving up on this plan, we stumbled upon Aloha Maui Dream Wedding. During our first interaction with Darci, we knew that we were in good hands and would be taken well care of. Darci worked on gathering a wedding team promptly and was able to accommodate our Tuberose21 package wedding request. On the day of the big event, Darci and her team (Penny, Ian, Reverend Kuya, and Alika – the soothing ukulele musician) were ready for us, as all we had to do was be present. They made it very fun and an enjoyable experience. Darci really exceeded our expectations and is the best at what she does – wedding planning. We would definitely recommend her services to any couple that is planning to get married in Maui. Mahola again Darci!

Not only did he take his time with the precision of his photos, but he also educated us on a lot of things we would have never known about Hawaii 😍 Also, many mahalo’s to Reverend Kuya for blessing us and making us feel welcomed on Maui!

Darci is amazing!!! We planned our original wedding last summer and had every detail practically laid out and done. It was a very hard decision for me and my husband to postpone because of covid stuff but I am glad that we did. Darci was always super responsive and really eased my worries about planning a destination wedding. A year later we finally tied the knot on the most amazing beach I have ever seen during sunset. The ceremony was perfect, my bouquet was exactly the way I wanted it to be and the hair and makeup artists they recommended was fantastic too. Penny our photographer was also very talented and really captured me and my husbands personalities in the photos we took. The reverend was amazing too. Full of the Hawaiian spirit and it really felt like a special ceremony that you can only get on the islands of Maui. Hands down this was the best place and best company to plan a destination wedding.

STOP RIGHT HERE! Aloha Maui Dream Weddings IS it!

Look no further! I promise you it does not get better than Aloha Maui Dream Weddings!! Darci, Penny, and the rest of the wedding team are the definition of a dream team! Our wedding was rescheduled due to the pandemic. We weren’t really sure how if it would work out this year but it did and it the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Darci and Penny kept in contact with us throughout the year checking in and giving updates. It was great using that time to build a foundation of trust. They really care about their clients and it shows! When the date got closer they were so helpful in reminding us about testing, coordinating with the State of Hawaii to get our marriage license, providing any recommendations during our stay in Maui, checking in on me on the morning of our ceremony, and reminded us to not forget the rings and license docs before we headed out the door. They were thoughtful and we really appreciated how communicative they were. Kuya married us and Ian was our photographer and those two were a hit! They worked so beautifully together and the ceremony just flowed and was stress free the entire time. It was absolutely perfect! Right after Kuya left the beach he submitted our license paperwork and we received an email that it was already filed. I figured it would take a day or 2. We were promised our photo packet within 3-4 weeks. NOPE! No waiting there either! We received them 6 days later. Our WHOLE experience through a pandemic and all was top notch and exceeded our expectations. Aloha Maui Dream Weddings really work hard and create relaxing, stress free, and beautiful dream weddings. Ours was nothing less than perfect! I am so grateful we chose them to be part of our big day! Honestly you will not find better service, photography, attention to detail, or care from another business like them. They lead with love and are amazing at what they do. Ohana for life!! ❤❤❤ Thank you Darci, Penny, Kuya, and Ian— we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to have this amazing experience with you.

The most beautiful, spectacular memories of our life

For me and my husband, this was the most magical experience for us and to share it with Darci and Penny, was truly like a part of our family was there. I got to know Darci through only phone communication, when I finally meet her a few days before the wedding, it solidified for me what a good soul she is. We were also lucky to get to meet Penny at that time too, by the time the ceremony came, it was so sweet to have them both there. Penny of course did all the editing of our pictures and man , she and the photographer were able to capture the emotions we were feeling that beautiful evening, as the sun was setting .and we were professing our love. The pictures are amazing. This company is Darci’s heart and soul and it reflects in every action and movement she makes, in order to make your wedding day as special as you want it to be. I had to go on blind trust that someone would help make my special day just the way I wanted. And that she did. She listened to everything I wanted and gave advice and commentary exactly when needed. This is Darci’s passion and there is nothing she won’t do to allow you to feel and experience your special day. I feel very lucky I had Her to be able to put our most precious day together for us and that pretty much everything was done before We even got off the plane. Everything was perfect. If your reading this review , I truly hope you choose Aloha Maui dream weddings for your special day because they, Darci, Penny and the whole team, honestly go out of their way to give you your wedding that you dream of. I am so happy and feel so blessed that they are a part of our memories for our most precious day that we will cherish forever.
Ps- you want to do the Hawaiian ceremony rituals, they absolutely make the ceremony! We are so so happy we did.

Everything I Dreamed
My (now) husband and I decided a long time ago that we wanted to elope. During the Fall of 2020, we booked a trip to Maui, and I so casually said, “Let’s elope on the island.” He said sure!!! Then began the booking process… I went through several sites looking for an elopement package that felt authentic and reasonably priced. This landed me on the Aloha Maui Dream Weddings page. I was able to text the owner and ask ALL of my questions. There were so many “add-ons,” locations, and Covid concerns. One of Darci’s first questions to me was, “Do you trust me?” Well… I only knew this woman for a short time, but she beautifully answered all of my questions and relieved my stress, so yes, I told her I trusted her. This was all she needed. She kicked it into gear with modifying my perfect elopement (we had 3 friends attend). She chose the perfect beach (White Rock Beach) for my evening wedding, as well as she handpicked an amazing spiritual reverend (Rev. Kuya) for the ceremony. The evening could not have been more perfect. I felt absolutely no stress at all with Darci as my gal!

Aside from wedding details and planning, Darci would text me pictures of the weather when we were still on the mainland and flooding was taking place in Maui. She would text me the week before we left making sure we had all of our paperwork in order. She texted me the day we arrived wishing us fun adventures. She even texted me pictures of sunburn relief when she found out I ha been at the pool the day before my wedding(:

Darci made the entire experience so personal. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to have a special, stress-free event on the island!!

I cannot recommend Darci and her team highly enough. They created the most beautiful wedding we could ever ask for and made every single one of our visions come true. Being from the UK we were initially concerned that time-difference would make planning our wedding more difficult but Darci was available at all hours and no-doubt some of the most productive planning conversations we had were in the middle of the night for her and she never hesitated to make us feel completely at ease. Darci also not only made our wedding day incredible but our whole holiday in Hawaii was significantly enhanced because of the input she had in planning our trips and recommending places to visit for ourselves and all of our guests. From booking nail appointments to hooking us up with the most amazing private snorkelling trip to Molokini Crater, her professionalism and devotion to her work is unquestionable. Our actual wedding day went completely seamlessly all down to Darci, she had everything covered from every angle and her staff maintained the highest standards throughout!

Darci was fantastic in helping us with our wedding coordination in Maui which we arranged as a last minute elopement ceremony, which we booked in just under a month from Australia. She is friendly and willing help as mush as she can, especially even after the ceremony when we needed help with some extra document while we got back to Australia.
It was also good value with different packages available compared to the other Wedding companies online. She had great suggestions to help us chose the different locations for the ceremony and there website actually has a lot of great information (despite not looking that new). Our Marriage Officiant was so sweet and friendly, just like your favourite uncle so it was great experience.

They really mean it when they say dream wedding!

If I could give them a million stars on everything I would!

Aloha Maui Dream Weddings really means it when they say “dream weddings”. Planning a destination wedding can be very difficult but Darci made it unbelievably easy. Before working with Darci, I was actually with a different planner at a different company and all communication was done via email. Each decision would take 1-2 days because of the time difference between Maui and Texas. Because things were moving at a snail’s pace, I started looking for other options and found AMDW (thank God!)

I told Darci my guest count and budget and within minutes she found a great option for us. By going with the venue she found for us, we saved a lot of money and we got way more bang for our buck. After signing on with AMDW, Darci was attentive and easily accessible via text and was SUPER prompt with emails. Darci is very knowledgeable, attentive, and straightforward – everything you need in a planner. From the makeup artist, to the videographer- Darci was able to save me so much money with all of the vendors she has access too. TRUST HER, she won’t steer you wrong. She has excellent taste but is always mindful of your budget. She also has a great personality and will definitely make you feel at ease from start to finish.

The day of the wedding was absolutely a DREAM. We had our wedding at Gannon’s in Wailea and it was absolutely STUNNING. We couldn’t believe that our venue could be so amazing! All the decor and florals she helped us pick looked gorgeous. Darci and Penny were with us the day of and Darci did a wonderful job managing our guests, bridal party and my tipsy groom 😉
Everything went very smoothly! Darci thought on her feet to alter the schedule slightly so that we could get cake cutting photos while the lighting was still nice outside. Gannon’s doesn’t set a set price for your open bar and will charge you per drink. We had an alcohol budget and when our bar tab was starting to approach our budget, Darci pulled me aside to let me know so that we could make the decision to keep going or do last call.

THANK YOU SO MUCH DARCI AND AMDW! We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect wedding for us!

Darci made sure our daughter’s Maui wedding was perfect despite some significant challenges the morning of the wedding!! Firstly, the videographer coming from Lahaina was caught in traffic due to a traffic fatality. Darci jumped to action and had a replacement at the ceremony despite only a mere hour to organize it. Try to pull that off if your self planning!!!
Secondly, our chosen beach seemed to be potentially crowded as our ceremony time grew near but Darci used her professionalism to entice a private beach for our nearly our entire ceremony!! GLORIOUS!!
And the ceremony was simply outstanding!!
Look. If you want to risk your Maui wedding to save a few bucks, think again. Darci was worth every one of my hard earned Canadian loonies!!! I’d recommend Aloha Maui Dream Weddings to anyone!!

Finding a solid business to officiate an LGBT wedding was a little difficult. For the people that advertised, most offered similar packages and photography was ad hoc for an additional considerate amount of money – rightfully so as wedding photography is such a niche skill set.

Upon reaching out to Darci, I was met with such warmth that it was almost immediate my then fiance and I decided to choose Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. Coordination was so easy, especially because we eloped and pretty much scheduled a month, give or take, before we were to be in Maui to wed.

So again, with the eloping, we needed to be super stealthy. Darci and Penny even went the length of picking us up from where we were staying in effort to get us safely and surely to our designated wedding location. Which, by the way, was beautiful. We held our wedding early enough so the beach was relatively secluded. That was extra special. We also caught a little of that Maui mist, which, depending on your connection to nature – was an additional blessing.

Anyway, our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. The words Darci spoke and the energy/vibe that she and Penny provided was exactly what we needed and wanted for our day. It was an unforgettable day – all for the most pleasurable reasons.

Our photography package included a dedicated hour of shooting and we were provided with an extensive set of photos to choose from. You can’t go wrong with the ocean and Molokai as a back drop. Again, memories captured to last.

Wrapping this up, I’d say whether you’re LGBT or not, in a sea of Maui wedding services, I’m glad we chose Maui Aloha Dream Weddings. Aloha is definitely what we felt and it was a dream. Thank you Darci and Penny!

Darci and Penny were fantastic! They made our wedding experience completely stress free and the ceremony was beautiful. Our families were so impressed with how smoothly everything went, especially since we live far from Hawaii and it was my first time visiting so I didn’t know what to expect.

My partner and I had a beautiful intimate ceremony at Makena Cove in Maui at the end of Sep 2019 and it was romantic, personal and simply perfect thanks to Darci and a great photographer Penny who captured our special day. Darci was very helpful at answering all our questions before the ceremony, gave great tips on the best time of the day for the ceremony (for the morning, definitely go with 8am – trust Darci and you will not regret it). She was patient with answering our questions from what part of the island we should stay at, to makeup/hair/flower vendor suggestions. She made the wedding day stress free. The ceremony itself was perfect for me and my partner and we will remember it forever! The photos turned out so great thanks to Penny, that we ended up buying the whole gallery as there were so many great shots, that we didn’t want to give up any. We strongly recommend going with Darci and Penny for anyone planning a wedding in Maui. Mahalo!

What we expected to be an amazing day Darci and Penny made INCREDIBLE!!

From the start they set our minds at ease by replying quickly to any emails we sent answering any questions we had, setting our minds at ease that they had everything handled and we didn’t need to worry about anything because they had it all sorted!

Our wedding day was perfect, Our Beach was the perfect location, our own little paradise. We loved how it was focused on our relationship, our trials during our time together. It made the ceremony so personal and knowing it was specific to us was lovely!

We not only had an awesome wedding day we met two people who we were honoured to share our day with.

The photo’s told the story of our wedding so well, we are able to share our day with our family and friends even though they weren’t there.

Thank you so much Darci and Penny, we are so grateful!

Penny Palmer Photography and Aloha Maui Dream Weddings were simply amazing! My fiancé and I wanted a stress-free but intimate ceremony – we got exactly that but even better than we expected! I was initially a little worried choosing someone I didn’t know/hadn’t met be a part of our day and hoped it wouldn’t feel “commercialized.” Darci really took the time to get to know us and kept me informed throughout the whole planning process. The great communication and attention to detail made a huge difference. It gave me peace of mind and I didn’t need to worry about anything. I also had some inspiration images for photos, and Penny made sure she incorporated those into her shoot. They turned out beautiful. Everything was a dream. I would 100% recommend.

Darci and her team were amazing! I can’t say enough good things about them. Planning a wedding in Hawaii from Missouri, when you’re not familiar with the location, is not exactly an easy task. Darci was there every step of the way. She was able to plan a wedding that was 6 months away in a matter of hours. She had the musician, photographer, videographer, officiant, and location locked down the same night I first spoke with her. She was able to adapt our ceremony to fit us and not make it just another cookie cutter destination wedding. I told her over and over that she was my fairy godmother, and she really was. I don’t know that I could have pulled off everything she managed.

Darci was so responsive and friendly and helpful throughout the whole process of planning our Maui elopement. We did a little prep from her before the trip, and our ceremony was really beautiful and heartfelt, and it all went off perfectly. She helped us with all the logistics, including making our marriage license appointment, and she offered advice and info on all kinds of trip planning too, which was nice. Darci’s suggestion of venue and the early morning ceremony were great, we had perfect light and the beach was magical. Penny’s photography was beautiful, I’ve attached one of my favorite photos here. So glad we used Aloha Maui Dream Weddings!

Darci is a MUST HIRE when planning/coordinating a wedding. I started searching for a coordinator early in the planning process and I found her through TheKnot, went to the website and was immediately messaged by Darci asking if I had any questions. She sent pricing/packages that night and within a couple days we booked her day of coordinating services. From there she explained the process and what she needed from us. She sent over a detailed questionnaire that helped guide us in all the decision making for our wedding. We spoke on the phone, over text and through email and she was quick to respond and when she didn’t have time to answer all of our questions in that moment, she communicated when she’d have answers. Fast forward to the rehearsal, Darci did an amazing job making sure our wedding party knew exactly where to be and what to do. When the groomsmen got a little out of hand, she pulled them aside to ensure they understood their part. We walked away from the rehearsal feeling at ease and knowing our day was in good hands. The day of our wedding she texted me to keep me in the loop that she was there and all was going well- this made it so we could relax! Darci got us all down the isle & had a shot waiting for us once we officially tied the knot! She also kept the guests engaged with our photo guest book and made sure to box our cupcakes for their favors. I do have to add that the night before our big day we had a last minute change to our guest list and I was able to text her details and all was taken care of. I’d advise you to stop looking around for planners/coordinators and BOOK DARCI!

Darci, thank you so much for all you did to make our big day special. I’ve heard from several guests that our wedding was the smoothest they’ve ever attended and that’s all due to you! You truly made our dream wedding come true. Lots of love, Morghan & Lincoln.

As stressful as planning a wedding can be, planning a destination wedding is even more so…Not knowing how to get beach permits, how to get an agent for the marraige license, or having any knowledge about the area or beaches we decided to hire a wedding coordinator…Something we originally had no intention of doing…That is how we found Aloha Maui Dream Weddings…And it was the BEST decision we ever made…From Day 1 Darci was responsive, kind, and helped put every concern I had at ease…She had all the answers and knowing she had everything under control let me ENJOY the weeks leading up to the wedding instead of being in a constant state of panic wondering if everything would work out…And even when there was a last minute change made by the cruise line that was out of our control, Darci worked her MAGIC to make everything right…We are BEYOND grateful for her and what she did to make sure our day went FLAWLESSLY…We always felt like a priority and that she truly cared about us…She could not have been more PERFECT…She is ABSOLUTELY the most amazing person to have on your side when planning your “I do’…And not only did we love her, we loved the team she put together…We could not have picked better people to share our day…Our officiant Reverend Kuya felt more like a member of our family…And the genuine love in which he spoke our vows and conducted our ceremony brought me to tears…He is such a beautiful soul and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to perform our wedding…Everyone was in AWE of him and we even had someone say it was the best wedding they ever attended…We are so thankful for him…And last but definitely not least, our photographer Ian from Penny Palmer Photography that Darci also scheduled…All I have to say is, WOW…When we first decided on a beach wedding in Maui, I Google searched wedding pictures and only hoped we could have pictures a fraction as spectacular as the ones online…Not only did Ian meet the challenge, he surpassed anything and everything I imagined…His level of talent, skill, and passion for his work is second to none…We never felt rushed or limited in what we could do…We trusted him 100% and his experience and love of his job created some of the most incredibly stunning shots I have ever seen…He would let us look at some of the pictures on his camera as he was taking them and we couldn’t believe it was us, they were so phenomenal…He was able to capture our love for each other and the beauty of Maui all in one…He impressed us beyond words and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome…That being said, we owe everything to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer Photography…They were able to make our day into a dream come true…We can’t thank them enough…And we will never forget them or what they did to make our forever perfection…And I will never stop recommending them or singing their praises…Thank you Darci, Kuya, and Ian…We love you!

Aloha Darci –

I am now home and just reflecting on my daughter’s wedding.  It was perfect and you and your staff made it even more spectacular. Your wisdom and counsel made planning so so easy.  You and your staff gave us a most perfect “rehearsal dinner” and wedding day.

Andrea was so calm and caring and an expert in all details.  Her tables were beautiful as was her ring of flowers. Kuya was amazing with his nature, words, wisdom and joy he projected.  Julia and Edgar were in tears (as was I) remembering his words and blessings on their marriage and path ahead.  Jimmy was so kind to learn the songs that meant so much to Julia and Edgar.  Nicole and her assistant were perfect capturing the essence of the event and we are all excited to see her vision.  I cannot say enough about Luis during the time he spent with us.  He was so much more than an interpreter.  He felt like part of our family and we are ready to adopt him.

My husband David we are sure was there looking over all the details and so pleased with a wonderful smile on his face.  He was that kind of man, a Godly, happy, very very funny man who fiercely loved us all. I missed him terribly as I walked Julia down to the circle of flowers, but felt him walking with me and giving me strength to lead this family

So give yourselves a hug, a pat on the back and a day at the beach.  If you ever need a recommendation I am here in all ways.

Blessings and joy to you,
Mahalo

We hired Darci to coordinate our wedding in Maui and never looked back. She responded to my online inquiry within a few hours which I always appreciate especially with the 6 hour time difference where we are. She immediately answered all my questions about how the process works and we booked her right away. She immediately coordinated our photographer, hair and makeup and officiant. All the details were taken care which left us with nothing to worry about! She always checked in and if I had a random question, she always had the answer. Plus her prices were much lower than most other companies which is a big plus and her vendors she works with were all excellent! Hire Darci and you won’t regret it!

I contacted Darci after reading all of the great reviews for Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. I wanted to have a 25th. anniversary SURPRISE vow renewal ceremony on our favorite Maui beach (we had been to Maui before). My wife was to know nothing about it until the ceremony began. It was to be on her fiftieth birthday, but on that day Hurricane Lane hit, and we had to cancel the entire trip. We rescheduled a month later, and Darci made sure that everything we had planned for the original date came to pass on the new date. The surprise went off without a hitch. I told my wife that I wanted us to get dressed up, go down to our favorite beach, and find someone to take some mobile phone pictures of us. When we got there (and my wife composed herself after the surprise), Darci, Penny and Kuya provided us with exactly the low-key Hawaiian ceremony I had requested. Penny’s pictures were beautiful, and they even had a special vow renewal sign made up for us to use in the pictures. The affair was affordable, fun, loving, and if I were to do it again I would certainly use Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. Thanks Darci, Penny and Kuya for making our special event so wonderful!

Looking at all the great reviews, it should be no surprise that our experience was AMAZING! We are not a fussy couple and didn’t really think of details for our wedding day. Honestly, we were excited to be married, but not into the logistics of it all. I’m sure had we chosen anyone else for our planning and photos, all would have just fallen flat and nothing special. Darci and Penny took care of everything and kept us excited in the days leading up to our elopement on the beach. We deferred to them (the experts!) on many of the decisions and they knocked it out of the park! There is no way I could have made everything turn out so wonderful on my own. Soooo Happy!!! Mahalo!!

I had been asked by my (my now husband) to Elope with him in Maui at the beginning of this year. I had no idea what to expect or knew how elopements work but I knew it fit us the best because we consider our relationship very intimate. He searched for an Elopement package and found Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and once I got on the phone with Darci Palmer, I knew how much she loved her job and would do anything she can to make our stay very welcome and special. It was the best day of our lives and we wouldn’t have it any other way despite what others think. Aloha is the best word to describe love and a lifestyle to go by.

Darci and Penny, Where do I start?!

I was never the girl that dreamed about their fairytale wedding growing up. I never imagined my perfect wedding dress, hair style or decor. Not to Imply that I never thought it would happen one day, it was just not something I pictured as a little girl.

When Rob and I got engaged, I had NO IDEA where to even start! I joined all of the bridal email list to hopefully gain some clarity. It didn’t work, lol. Overwhelmed doesn’t even begin to touch on how I was feeling.

After Rob and I decided that we would “elope” in Maui, it got even more overwhelming. How was I supposed to plan our wedding 4,605 miles away. I googled so many companies. I almost chose a different company until they sent me a sample wedding video. It made me cringe.

I started focusing more on the reviews of these companies. I came across Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and loved the reviews I was reading. I reached out one night and the planning began.

We put 100% blind trust in these women solely based on social proof and that is why I hope anyone reading this, that might be on the fence, chooses AMDW!

From the start, Darci put my mind at ease. She was readily available for me whenever I wanted to talk, even with a 6hour time difference and anytime I started to panic, she would bring me back to normal and reassure that everything would be great! She scheduled our marriage license appt, she linked me up with Bea from Classic Elegance Artistry who made me feel like a princess and she made sure every single detail was perfect! We had an awesome unity sand ceremony that included my son, who also got a Lei during the Lei exchange.

These 2 ladies then hiked almost a MILE down a cliff to accommodate a photo shoot that we really, really wanted. It was hot and uncomfortable but once we were down there, Penny was in her zone. She is so professional and so good at what she does. I could not have asked for more from these two!

For the little girl who never dreamed about her wedding day, If I had, I am POSITIVE it was exactly how June 29th 2018 went.

We are glad to have you both as our Ohana now! We love you!
Mahalo!

P.S. Small or large weddings! They will get it done for you!

I don’t even know where to begin on how amazing Darci & Penny are! From the instant I was interested in a Maui wedding until I returned home from our Maui wedding/honeymoon, Darci took care of every detail (to include my cake and flowers) and Penny captured every precious moment of our new lives together in the perfect lighting. From where to stay, eat, hike and relax… you name it, they helped us! They felt like old friends we were coming to visit. 100% top notch quality with everything and I promise you will not get a better wedding planner and photographer than these two wonderful ladies!

I seriously wish I could give this company a rating of 10 out of 5! I was pretty anxious about trusting someone to put together the destination wedding of my dreams but with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, it was so easy and I was surprised at how much it exceeded my expectations. I was able to make all of the decisions about every aspect of the wedding without having to do the work. I was able to focus on my family on the day of the wedding, rather than worry about all the stresses that come with putting together a ceremony. The photos of our wedding by Penny Palmer Photography are breathtaking! I would 100% recommend anyone to trust Aloha Maui Dream Weddings for their special day! Best decision ever!!

Jacqueline said…
Neither of us had been to Hawaii, let alone Maui, and we were a little out of our depth. Our goal was to take a once in a lifetime trip and to get married. We wanted something to encompass the significance of the occasion, yet simple enough not to overshadow it. We also wanted a few choice photos of our memories, and to ensure that both of our belief systems were represented. After researching, I determined that our order was a little too tall. Even though it seemed like simplest would be best, I quickly discovered that extravagance was a little easier to find. I was not confident that we would locate what we were looking for (without paying more than we wanted to pay). Unwilling to give up just yet, I stumbled across the Plumeria Package with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. The package was perfect, and add-ons were available if desired. I contacted Darci that evening. Even with a six hour time difference, I had a reply immediately. The date we wanted was available. Darci was very informative but not overwhelming. In a matter of a few days, I had our date reserved for the ceremony, and a date, time, and location for meeting with the person facilitating our marriage license. A few months later, my fiancé and I were ready to go! Darci sent us detailed directions for our story-book-perfect sunset beach wedding. When we arrived at the location, she said that the beach was still a little busy, but she asked us to trust her because she had another site in mind. We followed her to paradise. I wish I had the words to describe this beach, but I’ll settle for idyllic. By a stroke of luck, no one was on the beach, and we had a little slice of paradise to ourselves for the most special moment of our lives as a couple. We had asked for a spiritual ceremony, so when Darci began by asking us to feel gratitude for this moment and this place, I knew we had made the right decision entrusting our day to her. The ceremony was lyrical, spiritual, and encompassed the spirit of aloha. As it progressed, Pennie was busy at the camera, capturing all the nuance and smiles my new husband and I had for each other. Our wedding had everything we wanted, including the personal touches of two ladies who deeply cared that we fully experienced the moment. After the ceremony, and back to reality, we received our wonderful photos and shared them with family and friends. We picked our favorites which we proudly display in our home.
I strongly recommend Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. My husband and I received the experience of a lifetime that perfectly complemented our personality as a couple. Our photos were gorgeous. Our ceremony was ideal. Our moment was perfect, and we have Darci and Pennie to thank for that.

I am so thankful I found Aloha Maui dream weddings! Our wedding truly was a dream. Darci is by far the best wedding planner in the world, she made me feel special and she was on top of everything it was hard for me to believe she actually had other weddings she was planning becasue of how fast she always responded to everything i asked for she made the experience so much better. Not only is Darci the most amazing woman on the island but her team is absolutely amazing they were all friendly and amazing at their jobs. I am so glad I made the phone call to her and everyone who is getting married should call her! You won’t regret it. Thank you so much to you darci and your amazing team for making my wedding the biggest dream come true!

She also worked very well with the photographer, Penny, who was also very accommodating to our requests and delivered exceptional photos! (At least from what we can see from our sneak peeks!!!) Penny also guided us on poses and made us feel extremely comfortable during the photo shoot following the ceremony! Wonderful team to work with!!

Aloha Maui Dream weddings gave my husband and I the most beautiful and meaningful ceremony. From the very beginning planning stages Darci guided me every step of the way and answered all my questions and concerns. She really put my nervous bride mind at ease. She chose the absolute best location for our sunset wedding. It was the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen and the beach was gorgeous. We almost had the beach to ourselves too. Darci did not miss one detail of what I asked for our ceremony. She made everything just perfect for our special day. To top it all off our photographer, Penny, was amazing. Our pictures are stunning. We’re so grateful to have had Darci and her team give us such a special day and beautiful pictures we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

Darci and Penny were incredible!! My husband did all the planning so I knew very little until we showed up that day. This was a vow renewal and we had family and friends joining us from a few states. Darci immediately made me feel so comfortable and the beach location was simply beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun, touching and intimate ceremony. I highly recommend these ladies and the small touches were just the icing on the cake. From an extra lei they brought (and we actually needed it), to a goody gift bag and a handwritten thank you once back home. Wish I could relive that whole evening again!!!

There are not enough words to thank Darci and her team for providing us with the wedding of our dreams. It was exactly what we were looking for. It was seamless, effortless, perfect!

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the pictures! Mahalo AMDW!

She helped us select a package and some add ons that we wanted and choose a location (Maken Cove was PERFECT- highly recommend this spot.) We chose a date, then suddenly had to change our date due to work conflicts. She was so accommodating through this process. Basically I just told her what I wanted and she took care of the rest! It was very relaxing not to have the stress of wedding planning on top of traveling from very far away. When we arrived on Maui she texted me seeing how our trip was so far, and continued to send little texts of encouragement up until our big day. Penny our photographer was also great. Out photos turned out lovely and she sent them digitally very quickly. I wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding and we can’t thank Aloha Maui Dream Weddings enough.”

“I just wanted to say Darci and Penny were great. We decided to elope very last minute and Darci did not wait one second getting us scheduled in such a short time frame. I mean when we decided last minute.. We decided 2 days prior. In reality it could be difficult trying to get an appointment for your marriage license/ but Darci pulled the the strings and got us a marriage license appointment the day we arrived to Maui. We got married on Sunday and by Friday she needed my bouquet requests and made it exceptionally possible for the flower shop to do this speciality bouquet last minute. Keep in mind the flower shops closes on Sunday. But again Darci will do everything you want and beyond. She will answer all your texts no matter the time. She is professional and kind!!!! WE appreciate you guys! And the beach location was on point!!! Thank you to Penny and especially Darci. Mahalo!”

Mit Darci von Aloha Maui Dream Weddings haben wir von Deutschland aus eine Partnerin gefunden, die unsere Wünsche mit einer mehr als erwarteten Freundlichkeit umgesetzt und unseren Ehrentag zusammen mit Ihrem Team dem Anlass entsprechend gestaltet hat.

I contacted Darci about a year and half before my Maui wedding. I wasn’t sure who I was going to use, or even for sure which island I was going to get married on. She had great reviews, so I reached out to her. She got back to me very quickly and immediately put me at ease. I chose Maui because I wanted Darci. Every step of the way she walked me through everything, made me feel comfortable, and she even helped me decide on which beach would be best for my vision and the amount of guests I had. When I got to Maui she was communicative and responsive and everything ran perfectly smooth on the big day. I also got to see her again for a fun Trash the Dress photo shoot with her and Penny. My trash the dress shoot was 2 days after my wedding, and Darci even brought me another bouquet because she wasn’t sure if mine held up or if I would remember it. She just went totally above and beyond on many levels. Thank you, Darci! Our day was perfect!

We planned a wedding in a week and a half, thanks to Darci and Penny. Winging a wedding is not recommended, even at such an amazing venue as Maui UNLESS you are working with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings because they handled everything, and I mean everything. We placed a call in to the contact number and within 30 minutes received a call-back. Darci began lining things up immediately thereafter and I could noticeably feel my blood pressure just start falling back to normal. It was like a deep, soothing sigh to be working with them and know that it would all be taken care of. It was, and not just at a base level. It was all beyond expectations and we will remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives. We are already talking about going back next year (and the year after and the year after, etc) to renew our vows and experience the amazing beauty, bliss and joy that is Maui. Credit to Darci and Penny, hands down. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

As a full time student, I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to get my dream wedding on my budget. To my surprise, with AMDW, I got just that- I get choked up just thinking about it! I originally found them with a quick Google search. Not only were their pictures beautiful but their prices were SO affordable. (Not to mention, their packages offered more than others and were practically half the price!) They can accommodate everything from just the two of you to a large wedding with doves, conch blows, toasts and more! Darci reached out to me immediately and we started hashing out a general idea of what I was looking for. She was extremely accommodating and very considerate of my budget. After speaking with her over the phone, her calm and friendly demander sealed the deal for my soon to be husband and I, it felt like I was talking to a friend <3. Darci and Penny are the total package.

They have a travel agent available to you and your guests, they know all the ins and outs of Maui- making planning effortless. I called Darci all wound up one night, overwhelmed with all the hotel choices and within 2 minutes she filled me in on great choices in my price range and close to my venue as well as special things about each that you wouldn’t find online- squashing any sense of worry. Every mild (or major) panic I had, she had a quick and easy solution and was readily available. When it came down to my wedding day, all I had to do was show up.

She and Penny had everything under control and running smoothly. Our wedding photos look like post cards. They’re exquisite (definitely purchase a bunch with your package!) We will never forget our amazing experience with AMDW. We recommend them without reservation and I don’t think you’ll find a more attentive, friendly, well organized and affordable wedding planning team anywhere. They truly love what they do and they’ll make your day stress free, special and unforgettable!

My wife and I picked Maui for our wedding destination. We started off very confused about how to handle a destination wedding and how to encompass everything we envisioned our wedding being with us located thousands of miles away. Somehow we were lucky enough to stumble upon Darci at Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. She listened to what we dreamed of and found the venue perfect for us. Throughout the planning process she walked us through every decision that needed to be made and when. Always available when we reached out with questions. Come wedding day the venue, decorations and my wife couldn’t have been anymore beautiful!!! Darci also did a great job making sure that our son was part of the wedding as it was a family union. Thank you Darci for everything and hope to see you in Maui again… but not for another wedding HAHA maybe a vow renewal!

However, Darci with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings really made the wedding day so seamless. The wedding was so beautiful! As a bridesmaid, she made things so easy. We didn’t have to worry about anything; everything was done and so well put together. She brought her positivity which was contagious and everyone had such a great time.

“I found AMDW through a simple Google search after checking out a few different planners that didn’t feel right for my fiance and I. I contacted Darci via email and she was very prompt in returning my email and setting up a time for us to talk about what we wanted. She made choosing what we wanted simple and stress free. Throughout the process Darci was always available to answer questions and give recommendations for our wedding and honeymoon in maui. It was nice having someone familiar with the area to talk to about all things from restaurants, shopping, ziplining and possible sunset photo shoots. She was always friendly and never made it seem like a chore to answer my many questions. On our actually wedding day Darci made me feel so comfortable even though I was feeling anxious. The whole ceremony and time before and after, all ran very smoothly and was an even better experience than I had imagined. Darci made me feel as though I could relax during one of the most stressful times in my life. A wedding is suppose to be a celebration and with her help and support we had the best day. With so many options for wedding planning in maui I know I made the right decision. Thank you so much Aloha Maui Dream Weddings!!! ”

The setting was amazing, the beach was beautiful, the flowers were fantastic, but the overall ceremony was more than we dreamed. The Minister and music were great and it was a wonderful experience.

“Trying to plan a wedding out of state was very overwhelming for me. I knew I needed help so I started calling wedding planners. My first conversation with AMDW, speaking with Darci made me feel so comfortable with choosing Maui for our destination wedding that I decided to hire them. She was very accommodating to our schedule and our plans of how we would like our wedding. She was always there to help me with ideas …(beaches, restaurants, makeup and hair, flowers, the cake)….and questions and always kept me on track with the planning even when she was busy with other weddings and brides. In the end Darci and her team made our day so special and they all went above and beyond for us and our family and guest. AMDW made our first day as Mr. & Mrs. perfect, a perfect way to start our lives together and a day that we, our family and guest will always remember. Thank you! AMDW is now a part of our family.”

“When I was planning my Maui wedding, I did a ton of research and narrowed the field down to five or so wedding planners, including Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. I started making online requests for information, and Darci called me back within minutes! She was not only professional, but also sincere and kind. I wanted my wedding to be simple and hassle free, as it was just my husband and I, and Darci really came through. The ceremony itself was beautiful and a perfect balance of simplicity and ceremony, with some Hawaiian traditions as well. ”

“I would without reservation recommend Aloha Maui Dream Weddings to anyone! Darci was amazing throughout the whole wedding planning process. Aloha Maui Dream Weddings website was easy to navigate and answered all my questions with one or two clicks. Darci is very professional and knowledgeable about Maui marriage requirements. She answered my questions immediately or returned my calls, texts, or emails within minutes. Unbelievable customer service! Darci personalized our ceremony and reminded us to enjoy the moment. It was a beautiful blend of Hawaiian words of love and unlimited promises of what our future will bring. Thank you Darci for a perfect way to start our marriage!”

Our experience with AMDW has exceeded our expectations all around. We thought that for our budget, our wedding was going to be the bare bones of weddings. We were completely wrong. Everything from our photographer (Penny Palmer), to our officiant, the makeup artist (Kym Marr), the ceremony, our videographer (Stephen Boeker), the communication, recommendations, literally everything was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better team and can’t wait to get back to Maui and see you guys again! Mahalo ♡

“I went online to look for a wedding planner in Maui. The variety of packages offered by Aloha Maui Dream Weddings is what first caught my attention. I called the phone number and talked to Darci on the phone. I knew immediately that I had found the right person to help us plan our sunset beach wedding. Darci made our wedding a fun and totally stress-free event. Penny Palmer took beautiful pictures of our wedding. Darci and Penny are a great team, and made our wedding a totally comfortable and fun event. And they also helped us with questions we had about things to do while we were in Maui. We plan to go back to celebrate anniversaries in the future, and we will call these gals when we are there. Darci and Penny are friends for life!

They were both extremely professional and had every last detail covered – rehearsal dinner reservations, cake, toast, custom colors, music, favors, etc! Darci prepared a beautiful ceremony unique to us and made sure I was reassured and confident in the days leading up to the wedding. Penny captured some amazing moments on camera that my friends said should be on the cover of a bridal magazine! They were also awesome with our families who traveled out with us — sharing tips on what to do during their stay in Maui.

“Our wedding was on Oct 17th at Makena Cove. Darci made everything so easy. She is professional, attentive, and has an eye for detail. She really knows her stuff, and throughout the whole process she gave me piece of mind. We live in St. Louis, so it was really difficult to research and choose a wedding coordinator/company while you know nothing about Maui, AMDW was recommended by my makeup artist (Kymberly Marr who is also amazing and a miracle worker). Darci is incredibly organized and quick to settle your nerves. I would 100% recommend going through this company. The bouquet was beautiful. The leis were more amazing than I expected, the boutinerre was perfect. The beach was breathtaking and the sunset was picture perfect, and it was like our officiant knew us, and our relationship.. Every word he spoke felt true to us. We just really couldn’t have asked for a better day. We are so thankful to have found them!”

“After being together for 21 years, we were just going to sign the papers and have a vacation. When our friend from Oahu decided to come to Maui for the wedding we decided we would just have a very simple ceremony IF we could find someone on short notice. We were blessed to contact Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, who arranged to meet us in a little over 2 hours on Polo beach. Although we had asked for the bare bones deal, Penny also came along and photographed our experience. What an experience it was. Blessings for you both and for all the people on the beach who cheered when we finished. You created a perfect memory for us on very short notice and we will be eternally great-full. An unqualified 5 star review from us (only because that is the highest rating, it should be at least a 10). Place your dreams in their hands and be amazed at what results. Thank you, Mahalo nui loa.”

We were extremely happy with the wedding services provided by Darci and photography by Penny. Neither my fiancé or I had ever been to Maui, but knew we wanted to be married on the beach there. Darci took time to answer all of our questions and made us feel comfortable all through the process. We kept in contact by both email and telephone. Darci made sure everything went smoothly for us. We even had to change our wedding date due to a hurricane warning, but the changes were seamless and the wedding could not have been more special or beautiful! The photos taken by Penny were amazing. They could not have picked a more beautiful place for our ceremony. I would like to take time to thank them for all the specialized care they provided. I would recommend Darci and Penny to anyone looking to be married on Maui, they certainly make all your wedding dreams come true.

Mahalo for making a big dream come true! We want to give you more stars!!! It was always my dream to be married on a beach in Hawaii. Through a friend we met Darci and Penny, and Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer Photography. What a gift! We started planning the vow renewal service while still residents of California, on our way to Maui permanently. Darci and Penny were more than responsive to our questions, always available, always more than pleasant and always accommodating. They are very, very professional, very thorough, and do not flinch if one has a very last-minute change ( oh yes, I did have one….). They took all the stress and worry on their shoulders, and we relaxed completely. On the day of the vow renewal, all went like clockwork – we could not have asked for anything more! The leis were perfect, the ring of flowers on the sand was so gorgeous, the picture-taking painless and fun. We cannot recommend them enough!! If you want a completely stress-free ceremony, one that fits your budget and your dreams, and breath-taking photographs, call Aloha Maui Dream Weddings! As an added bonus, we feel we have friends for life in both Darci and Penny – and that is the icing on the cake!

Darci was dedicated to ensuring we had the wedding of our dreams. She gave us great ideas, suggestions, and advice. She has all the right contacts on the island to get whatever you need. She also was conscious of our budget and helped us manage our spend, while still exceeding our expectations for a perfect wedding.

I’ve heard how stressful planning a wedding can be, but with Darci in your corner you can rest easy knowing she will do everything in her power to significantly reduce or eliminate the stress. Her patience will give you comfort and sanity during the planning of your wedding.

Her and Penny, Penny Palmer Photography, make a great team.

I would highly recommend Darci to plan your wedding and Penny to do the photography.

Additionally, Darci was not only our wedding coordinator, but both her and Penny have become great friends!!

When we finally met everything was in place and I felt like we were meeting a friend. She has a way of making you feel at ease through out the process. I was anxious about the date and Darci was there each time I had a “melt down” and helped me relax knowing everything was taken care of.

Where to start?
Husband and I were planning the wedding. We had decided on Maui…I was planning the activities, he was in charge of the officiant and photographer. A month out and I check with him….no dice! (Love you, Honey!) So I started doin’ some digging. Found a few officiants online, but then discovered Aloha Maui Dream Weddings!!!

Through the wonders of Social Media, was able to reach out directly to Darci. She was efficient and SUPER friendly! Such is the Spirit of Aloha! Darci was quick to understand our needs, even though we were on a budget, she was great with offering AMAZING ideas to the simple wedding we wanted. When I found that Penny Palmer was her Partner and saw her work…I knew I had found Our Team!

These Ladies have SOO much Heart and Passion for what they do! They really get to the core of what you want as a couple for your Wedding. They get it. They follow through. They help make Your Special Day more AMAZING that you can even imagine! Best of all, you won’t have to worry about a thing…you can just take in the wonder and beauty of Maui as you wed the one you love!

If you’re getting married in Maui…dont even hesitate…Go to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings…you will be so thankful you did, and you will have not only make the greatest memories, but some phenomenal photos to share with your loved ones.

I’ve definitely made 2 great friends in Maui…they are My ‘Ohana now. Let them become part of yours!

This carried over to the day where she put together the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremony, which could not have been any better!

The only thing was to answer some very thoughtful questions, do a little piece of homework to assure the ceremony was just right for us, and show up and enjoy an amazing experience. Without knowing the island we knew we would be on the Big Island and Darci and Penny met us there. They scoped out the perfect location for us and assured that all of the details were handled. Our experience was amazing and the photos I cannot even explain how amazing they are. Penny and Darci were the ultimate professionals throughout the entire journey and have become friends for life. Thank you so much for making our day as special as it was it could not have been any better.

“Aloha Maui Dream Weddings helped to make our 20-year Anniversary a very special day with our vow renewal ceremony. It was a truly memorable day and a significant beginning to the next chapter of our lives together. The cafe Darci met us at before our special day became our favorite spot for breakfast, and we had a great time snorkelling 😉 Aloha Maui Dream Weddings helped to make our first visit to Maui very memorable. We will be back! Mahalo, Tracy & Darrin April 29, 2015”

“On an amazing day back in early February, we were so lucking to have the magic of the Hawaiian Islands as our backdrop for a very memorable wedding and honeymoon. From the moment we contacted Darci, we felt at ease. At least as much as could be expected planning this from such a long way away. We really didn’t know what to expect, but it was perfect. Even with a storm having removed a lot of sand from the regular beaches, we easily transitioned to another beach that was perfect. We both had such a wonderful sunset wedding with Darci. We highly recommend her and her crew of amazing people. The video and pictures were perfect! Thank you all for creating life long memories and knowing we have a great friend in Maui! Sorry it has taken a while to get to this, but the immigration process can be challenging and time consuming. We are on the final stage of knowing we will be able to be together forever. We’ve done everything and continue to fall more in love every day. Renato is learning English and started playing soccer again yesterday. Things are falling in to place. Cheers! – Tommy LaFashia”

“Every aspect of planning and executing our beach wedding in Maui with Darci and Penny was easy and far surpassed any expectations we may’ve had. Penny and Darci make a great team, whose passion, spirit and laid back nature made our day one of effortless bliss. They have gone above and beyond in so many ways, that their part in our day will remain close to my heart in gratitude. Truly a remarkable experience, which is captured in our stunningly beautiful photos. Mahalo Nui Loa from Melanie, Troy and family.”

“Darci surpassed our expectations as a Wedding Planner and Minister from the first time we reached out to her! She was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests. Darci allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation by taking care of every detail of our ceremony. She wanted to make OUR day about US, and she did! Darci managed to capture our personalities, the spiritual Hawaiian traditions, and the natural beauty of The Secret Beach in a ceremony that was simply inspired. Penny Palmer captured both the beauty of our beach paradise and the emotion of our wedding day! She was professional, yet fun and flexible, allowing us to be ourselves, including the tears and the laughter. We were so pleased with Penny’s creative vision. Penny truly preserved our memorable day with her photographic magic. The team of Darci & Penny made our wedding day a dream come true! We would highly recommend them for your special day!” – T&N, June 28, 2014

“Where to start?  Husband and I were planning the wedding. We had decided on Maui…I was planning the activities, he was in charge of the officiant and photographer. A month out and I check with him….no dice! (Love you, Honey!) So I started doin’ some digging. Found a few officiants online, but then discovered Aloha Maui Dream Weddings!!! Through the wonders of Social Media, was able to reach out directly to Darci. She was efficient and SUPER friendly! Such is the Spirit of Aloha! Darci was quick to understand our needs, even though we were on a budget, she was great with offering AMAZING ideas to the simple wedding we wanted. When I found that Penny Palmer was her Partner and saw her work…I knew I had found Our Team!  These Ladies have SOO much Heart and Passion for what they do! They really get to the core of what you want as a couple for your Wedding. They get it. They follow through. They help make Your Special Day more AMAZING that you can even imagine! Best of all, you won’t have to worry about a thing…you can just take in the wonder and beauty of Maui as you wed the one you love! If you’re getting married in Maui…dont even hesitate…Go to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings…you will be so thankful you did, and you will have not only make the greatest memories, but some phenomenal photos to share with your loved ones. I’ve definitely made 2 great friends in Maui…they are My ‘Ohana now. Let them become part of yours! Mahalo, Aloha Maui Dream Weddings! -Pedro”

“AMDW is absolutely fantastic! Darci is an amazing person and does a wonderful job planning weddings! We planned for 18 mos. Darci kept us on track and informed us all along the way. She would send reminders and thoughtful notes just to keep us excited for our special occasion. She is very organized and structured – it’s as if it were YOU planning your wedding! When we finally met in Maui to put the finishing touches, everything fell into place and I felt like I was meeting a friend. Darci makes you feel at ease through the whole process – I was very anxious and Darci was there every time I had a “melt down” to assure me it was all perfect. She helped us with each special request making our occasion perfect and absolutely magical! She has the answers to ALL your questions all  you have to do is ask!!! I HIGHLY recommend Aloha Maui Dream Weddings – they totally made our wedding a dream! – Julie G”

“Highly recommended!!    Darci was dedicated to ensuring we had the wedding of our dreams.  She gave us great ideas, suggestions, and advice. She has all the right contacts on the island to get whatever you need. She also was conscious of our budget and helped us manage our spend, while still exceeding our expectations for a perfect wedding.   I’ve heard how stressful planning a wedding can be, but with Darci in your corner you can rest easy knowing she will do everything in her power to significantly reduce or eliminate the stress. Her patience will give you comfort and sanity during the planning of your wedding.   Her and Penny, Penny Palmer Photography, make a great team.   I would highly recommend Darci to plan your wedding and Penny to do the photography.   Additionally, Darci was not only our wedding coordinator, but both her an Penny have become great friends!!”

“Darci was very thorough in planning a lovely private ceremony for my Husband and I.  She  selected a beautiful spot on a ‘secret’ beach at sunset. Darci was careful to incorporate Hawaiian traditions in addition to our own ideas for the ceremony. As we are from the mainland and had never been to Maui, it was a little nerve racking to plan such an event from so far away. But we trusted Darci, and she certainly delivered! Even when it came to meeting with the county licensing official, she had it all figured out in advance. Thank you so much!”

“Darci and Penny are the dynamic wedding planning duo! They exceeded our expectations for a romantic beach wedding. Darci made all the pre wedding planning a breeze, she was always available to answer any questions we had. She took care of every detail perfectly and it really showed on the big day. It was just the two of us but Darci officiated the ceremony in a way that was so intimate, making us feel like she had known us for years. So many special moments are etched in our memories. From walking onto the beach at Makena Cove and seeing a  ring of beautiful Hawaiin  flowers we would stand in to say our vows. The romantic way Darci blessed our rings in true Hawaiin tradition. Being serenaded as we danced our first song as husband and wife. Then just when you think things could not be anymore spectacular Penny steps in and works her magic with her camera as the sun is setting over the ocean. She captured so many magical and unique photos of us that we had to have them all! If you want the most beautiful artistic photos to remember your special day you definitely need Penny! We are forever grateful to have found Aloha Dream Weddings! If  you want your special day to be perfect I highly recommend Darci and Penny!”

“You hit the wedding/marriage “jackpot” if you are able to book Penny Palmer Photography and Aloha Maui Dream Weddings. Penny and Darci are an incredibly organized and full service team! They’ll fit your budget…you’ll be amazed on what they can pull off for $2,000 or less. Or if you want to go big, they can help you dream big! For example, they just fulfilled a groom’s last minute request for a white stallion…with less than a 12 hour notice. You dream…they’ll make it happen.” – Janet

“My dream was always to get married on the beach. Being from Cali I wanted somewhere else. After spending several weekends on the phone interviewing coordinators I booked with Darci. From our first conversation she made me feel real comfortable. She obvious knew what she was doing and wanted nothing more to give but a memorable wedding that I’d remember forever.
She booked with Penny photography who was absolutely amazing.
Let me tell you these two ladies work hard and make an incredible team. Our wedding was fabulous. They went above and beyond my expectations. Several guest commented how beautiful the ceremony was. There was not one bit of stress. Darci is a perfectionist and proved it.
Penny photography pictures are just speechless and breath taking. We did trash the dress the day after which was so fun and she took pictures to fit our personality. If you want a fabulous stress free perfect wedding just call Darci and Penny. I can’t thank them enough!!!

“After being together for 21 years, we were just going to sign the papers and have a vacation. When our friend from Oahu decided to come to Maui for the wedding we decided we would just have a very simple ceremony, IF we could find someone on short notice. We were blessed to contact Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, who arranged to meet us in a little over 2 hours on Polo beach. Although we had asked for the bare bones deal, Penny also came along and photographed our experience. What an experience it was. Blessings for you both, and for all the people on the beach who cheered when we finished. You created a perfect memory for us on very short notice, and we will be eternally grateful. An unqualified 5 star review from us (only because that is the highest rating, it should be at least a 10). Darci and Penny are warm, centered and generous of spirit, you could not do better. Place your dreams in their hands and be amazed at the results.Thank you, Mahalo nui loa.” – Michael

“Darci,
First of all, I would like to say that it was a pleasure meeting you and getting to know both you and Penny before the wedding.
Secondly, Thank you for all the tips and helping us through from the very beginning to the very end.
Finally, THANK you for keeping it all together! Our party was bigger than usual, and it was a lot of work to keep my guests informed.
I am very happy with the results and I am very happy to have had you do this for us. We would recommend you anyone who wants to go through the lovely experience we did.
The whole ceremony was better than I had expected. It really covers the true tradition of Maui and that was what we were aiming for.
Thanks,
