“Darci was the foundation of our whole wedding planning journey and day of! As a destination wedding with our guests and us coming from the mainland, but some family members already living on island, Darci was able to seamlessly coordinate the most amazing day for everyone. She worked with us over many months to book the most amazing venue and all vendors/rentals while keeping everything organized and timely. She is very responsive and easily communicated by text and checklists to keep us updated frequently along the way or pivot when we added ideas or changes to the plan, which ensured that the day truly reflected us.

She even provided recommendations for excursions when on island and various services including transportation. On the day, her and her team made the venue look perfect and even better than we could have ever imagined. She’s very professional and worked seamlessly with all the vendors and staff, but her expertise allowed her to amazingly balance running everything for the day while still keeping us on time without feeling rushed or like she was with us the whole time. Cannot gush enough about Darci and her team, truly a pleasure to work with to create one of the best days of our lives!”

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 !!

Valerie Cisneros

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!!
