She was absolutely incredible to work with, making the day run so incredibly smooth. We became so reliant on her because she was able to make sure that the flow of the day was on time as well as making sure that we had everything we needed at every step. Our setup was seamless and we truly had nothing needed of us for the actual day thanks to her. Teya coordinated directly with all of our vendors, was on site for 12 hours during the wedding day, and put an incredible amount of behind the scenes work. We cannot recommend Chapter of Love enough to ensure your big day goes as you dream it.”

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, Dayna developed interest in special events through her extensive work experiences and college eduction. It was the moment she married her husband, a Paniolo (cowboy) from Hawai’i Island, that she found her passion to help other couples with their own wedding. Their wedding theme was “Mauka to Makai” meaning “from the mountain side to the ocean side” because of where they grew up - similar to how the Naupaka is grown on the mountain side and by the ocean side.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we first reached out to Naupaka Events & Weddings, their communication was fast, clear, and incredibly helpful. Dayna and her team proved to be creative, budget-conscious, and thorough in planning every aspect of our special day. Every vendor they recommended was outstanding, and when we had one last minute vendor cancellation, Dayna immediately provided excellent backup options. The Naupaka team managed all of our vendors seamlessly, and provided tons of suggestions and support in making our wedding a wonderful and unique experience for us and our guests. Their attentive staff went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect. We are so grateful to Naupaka Events & Weddings for making our wedding dreams a reality.”

From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, communicative, down to earth, and thoughtful, which made the entire process feel so smooth and stress-free. No detail was overlooked, and she always made sure we felt confident and taken care of, even when nerves were getting the best of us. Planning a wedding comes with so many decisions, and having someone who is transparent and straightforward is incredibly important. She always gave thoughtful, genuine guidance, whether it was about timelines, logistics, or what would realistically work best for our day. That level of honesty built so much trust and made us feel confident in every choice we made. On the wedding day, everything went perfectly and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, knowing everything was handled so seamlessly behind the scenes.

“I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!”

Zuzu Collective is a bespoke wedding planning studio specializing in immersive, story-driven weddings in San Diego and throughout California and worldwide. We start with your story — your taste, your vision, what you want people to feel — and build a world from there.

“If I could give Zoe 100 stars, I would. We didn’t book the full-service package, and somehow she still showed up like she was planning a celebrity wedding. From day one, she was organized, creative, and unbelievably responsive. I could text, call, or email her at any time and she would respond quickly with thoughtful, thorough answers. During a season that can feel overwhelming, that kind of communication is everything. We planned a destination wedding in Hawaii on a tight budget, and Zoe made it feel effortless. She gave us vendor recommendations we never would have found on our own, was completely transparent about costs, and constantly helped us make smart decisions that elevated the experience without blowing our budget. She has a rare ability to design weddings that feel deeply personal and atmospheric, not “cookie-cutter” or Pinterest-copy, but actually reflective of you as a couple. What meant the most to me, though, was how she showed up emotionally. Wedding planning can bring up family dynamics, stress, and big feelings. Zoe was such a steady, calming presence. She always reassured me that we weren’t behind, that everything was on track, and that we were doing great. She made me feel comfortable being vulnerable during a really high-emotion season of life, and that is something I will never forget. On the wedding day itself, everything ran seamlessly. If anything went wrong, I truly have no idea - because she handled it before it ever reached me. She took the time to build a relationship with our wedding party and vendors to be able to pivot without me knowing and that meant the world to me. Guests, vendors, and our wedding party all commented on how calm, kind, and on top of everything she was. She created a beautiful atmosphere while somehow making it look effortless. Our guests haven’t stopped talking about our wedding - which is every brides dream - and no doubt the experience wouldn’t have been possible without Zoe. If you are planning a destination wedding (especially in Hawaii) or really any wedding anywhere and working within a budget but still want something elevated and meaningful, hire her. If you want a planner that feels like a friend you’ve known your whole life, hire her. She is creative, strategic, detail-oriented, incredibly communicative, and genuinely cares about her couples. Zoe wasn’t just our planner - she was the reason our wedding felt the way it did and I’m forever grateful for her.”

“From the very first conversation with Tiffany, I knew I was in the best hands to bring the wedding of my dreams to real life. Tiffany is not only incredibly talented and professional, but one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. She made me feel like a high priority and without any encouragement or reminder, she was always brainstorming decor ideas for my wedding. She wanted to hear about our love story and understand our vision, and somehow, she turned all of that into a stunning wedding plan that reflected us in every detail. She created a beautiful vision board right after our first meeting that instantly brought our ideas to life. I wanted blush and gold details throughout the wedding but on a budget. From there, she built a timeline that made the entire process feel so much more manageable. I was able to enjoy the months leading up to the wedding stress free because I knew I was in good hands and cared about our wedding as much as I did. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but she kept me grounded with monthly reminders, gentle check-ins, and clear guidance on what needed to be done and when. On the actual day there were a few hiccups (like an issue with our cake vendor), but I didn’t even know until after the fact—because she handled everything quietly and gracefully, without ever letting it affect the joy of the day. She also set up the décor more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. Walking into that space and seeing everything come together so perfectly took my breath away. I was able to enjoy the day of the wedding by peacefully getting ready and being present with my family without having to be concerned about vendors or wedding set up. I can say without a doubt that anyone would be so lucky to have Tiffany as their wedding planner/day of coordinator. I truly can’t imagine this experience without her, and I’m endlessly grateful for everything she did to make our day as magical as it was.”

Yanicke Lim Sang, from the island of Jamaica, of Chinese, African, and East Indian heritage has called Hawaii home for 17 years. She founded Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii in 2010, inspired by her sons: Zen and Jude. With extensive experience, including six years apprenticeship under notable coordinators, coordinating concerts for emerging talent for a Miami Beach record label. Yanicke brings expertise and passion to her work. She earned a Fashion Design degree from Miami Art University and devoted early years to the Fashion Industry before focusing on event coordination.

“Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC is hands down the reason why we had THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES! Yanicke, is the owner of this company and she is hands down the best coordinator! My husband and I hired her to take care of all the stress as we are in California and she is in Honolulu. We booked her and her team to do full coordination for our wedding in Kaneohe, Hawaii. It was one the best decisions we have ever made. We were married at the Paliku Garden at Kualoa Ranch in Kaneohe, Hawaii on June 14, 2023. Almost three years since our wedding and I still cannot believe our dream wedding came to life. I am still on cloud 9 of how beautiful everything was and how smooth everything went. From the first time we spoke with Yanicke, we could tell she was someone who would get it done. I had called Kualoa Ranch to make sure I was able to book her because per the rule of booking Kualoa Ranch, you need a minimum of "day of coordinator". It pleased me to know that she had worked events on the ranch so she did not have to go through an interview process with them. What we loved the most about her is that she actively listened to our wants and our vision for our wedding. She always reassured us that she would work with our budget and not to worry. We would often text, do zoom meetings, and was always available to us. Yanicke made sure to be the contact person for every vendor and made things so easy for us. She gave us vendor options and I appreciated that because I still felt in charge of deciding who to book. The vendors she suggested were so awesome! Every vendor went above and beyond and I am so glad Yanicke had these connections. Our wedding looked amazing and all our guests loved everything about it. There were no issues with any. On the day of the rehearsal, Yanicke went over the setup and how everything was going to play out on the day of the wedding. On the wedding day, Yanicke came to our hotel to check on us and make sure we were up and ready to get the day started. I personally loved that about her because she was very attentive to us. When we arrived at the venue, everything was set to go. It looked so beautiful and dreamy, a dream come true. It looked so elegant and classy. I felt like I was in a dream that whole day because of how surreal it felt. Our wedding should have been featured in a magazine! Our wedding was over the top, in a great way, more than what we had expected. The vendors had surpassed our expectations. From the beginning of the wedding to the end, she was running the event smoothly. I hate planning and having her make sure we were on schedule was so great. The reception included a great buffet, beautiful floral arrangements, an awesome Polynesian performance (fire dancers, hula, the haka dance), a very detailed photographer, and a great DJ and emcee who knew how to get the guests excited. If I were to have another event in Hawaii, I would not hesitate to book Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii, LLC again because they made our wedding such a great experience. Definitely recommend to anyone having a destination wedding. She will provide you a list of her preferred vendors that she trusts and they go above and beyond. She will not disappoint. I guarantee! Check out our amazing images from the wedding if this review didn't persuade you enough to book Zenju Weddings.”

“I don’t know where to even start. The team literally helped me execute the best day of my entire life and it was everytihing and more. The whole process felt like I was planning my wedding with two magicians. Jayne and Kate are just magical in all they do. Nothing felt difficult and everything came together so well, they will take care of things, you would not have thought of and it's all so beautiful, creative, personal! Their designs and planning are in a different league to anything I have seen or other wedding I have attended. My guests are still talking about it! Chatting with the planning team was complete highlight of my planning days with calls, visits and follow up. On the wedding weekend, we had a huge rain storm (of course) but they had the rain plan so it didn't impact a thing. This was the best day of my life and I am so thankful for working with them! I probably sound like a gushing customer, but please believe me when I say if you get the chance to work with them, take it! You will not regret it. I now have beautiful memories that will be for my whole life. Thank you for being part of everything that made it so amazing.”

“Recently designed and printed our wedding announcements through Anthology and I was blown away with the service they provided! We had ordered invites online elsewhere and they came back blurry so we called here and they were able to meet with us right away and designed the cards exactly how we wanted them and we received them very quickly. So so happy with how they turned out!”

“Kimi pulled together so many different design elements into a cohesive vision we could finally visualize for our dream day. The written concept honestly brought me to tears — it was the first time our wedding started to feel real. Everything that was pulled together felt like more than a mood board and more like a it was a wedding vision we could actually feel.”
