“My husband and I hired Kate to plan our Kona wedding, after having to cancel our first wedding in New Zealand. After postponing twice and we decided to ultimately hold the wedding in October 2021. Kate was there to support us every step of the way, helping us with securing all the best vendors and handling the communication with them. She has lots of great connections in Kona and has a considerable amount of insight on vendors, locations, etc.
I loved how real she kept things (if I had an idea that was not good or not within our budget, she would tell me.) She had to be super creative with our wedding, as there were CONSTANT changes from the state and county due to the ever-changing covid restrictions. She was basically on call through it all and was there for me anytime we would have to pivot our plans. Not only did she keep me calm and focused through it all, she also remained positive through all the stress and remained extremely helpful every step of the way. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through pandemic wedding planning without her. She truly was a saving grace and the best decision that I made for our wedding.
On the wedding day itself, Kate went above and beyond. Throughout the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception, Kate was somehow everywhere at once, making sure everything went smoothly. She had every detail organized and was flexible with any last minute changes and truly made the entire day go by so efficiently. We had an amazing wedding day and Kate was a huge and integral part of the reason why. I do not envy her job at all (especially during the pandemic and navigating all the changes that come with it) but I am so glad that she is a wedding coordinator, because she absolutely KILLS it at her job.
I cannot recommend her wedding planning services enough and I’m looking for future party excuses just so I can book her again. She will hands down be one of the best choices you can make for having the absolute best day ever!
Also, the coffee from here is fabulous! I am born and raised on Big Island and this is some of the best Kona coffee I have ever had. We had coffee bags as the favor for our guests and multiple people told me how much they enjoyed it. Will definitely be ordering more in the near future!”
