“I can’t recommend Sunshower Weddings enough to anyone looking to get married on the Big Island! They are caring, action-oriented, creative, and very intentional. Read on if you want more details on why we loved working with Sunshower Weddings so much!

Planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful. Planning a destination wedding can be downright overwhelming–if you don’t have someone like Kate & Sunshower Weddings on your side. When my Husband and I decided to have a wedding in Hawai’i we had some important criteria that were true to our values. How in the heck do you plan a wedding, incorporating your values, in a far away destination? While researching venue spots I discovered Kate. Upon reaching out to her I knew she was the one to help us. I had expected her to present me with different packages based on what she thought my needs were (whether I needed them or not) but my intake call with her was very different from what I expected.

From my first call with Kate, she asked me a lot of questions ranging from what was important to us, what was our budget, and what our overall vibe was. Instead of giving me a blanket package, she tailored her wedding coordination services based on what I was actually needing and priced it accordingly. Throughout our time working together we were navigating typical wedding questions as well as the impact COVID would have on our wedding and Kate was such a huge help to us! Kate helped us navigate how to approach vendors regarding our vaccination requirements and the changing state of COVID requirements of Hawai’i itself. What I love about Kate is that I could have very honest conversations with her about her opinion and where to spend our money for the type of wedding we wanted. I never once felt like she was upselling me on something or trying to get me to spend more money unnecessarily. She was our guide on the ground in Hawai’i. We got everything planned smoothly and before our wedding, we felt prepared and not rushed.

About a month out Kate arranged a call between us and Alison. Alison was going to be the lead coordinator for the day of the event. We reviewed everything together and made any last-minute changes needed. We also arranged the rehearsal.

Then came the big day! The timeline developed by Sunshower Weddings was so clear it was easy to know what was happening and when. Alison stopped by in the morning to see if anything was needed by us and arranged for my haku to my airbnb. From the moment we arrived at our ceremony everything was SUCH A BREEZE. Kate and Alison had everything covered. They very much kept us in the moment so we could relax and enjoy our wedding. Our wedding turned out fantastic and had zero hiccups. The entire time it felt like everyone at Sunshower cared about us as people, not just as a client.”
