"We would like to thank you for your hard work putting together our dream wedding. You did a wonderful job and everything turned out great on our wedding day. Here is the link to the pictures Wilber took. Thanks for recommending him to us." Li Jessica Wang & Kai-Yin Silas Ho, Modesto, CA

"The location that we chose was perfect if you want the perfect view but feel secluded from everyone. It was perfect for our small group. Tori’s recommendations are excellent, what she says should go! Even if you think you don’t need an onsite coordinator you probably do. Unless you’ve planned a wedding before, there are small details that you just don't think of."    Ashley Jones & Russell Nelson, New Orleans, LA

This is a really sweet email we recently received and had to share with you..."Hi Tori, My daughter’s & son-in-law’s Oahu wedding (6-4-04 at the Kahala Mandarin gazebo) was the one that was a surprise for her. I thought you might enjoy knowing that now their little boy (almost age 2) always asks to watch their wedding video whenever he stays at Grandmamma’s house! So even now we still enjoy it, and I’m reminded of how grateful I am to you for making everything so perfect! Having never been to Hawaii before that trip, I realized on the day of the wedding how many aspects could have been lesser quality than we wanted, especially since we didn’t have an unlimited budget. But your recommendations and guidance made sure everything was wonderful! Thanks again…..4 years later and I’m so glad you decided to continue your business! Best wishes for a long, successful future." Jody Himes

"We finally returned from our honeymoon and first of all would like to thank you sooooooo much. Everything was planned and organized perfectly, we really appreciate you great work and are happy with our choice of you as our wedding planner! MAHALO!!!" Mr. & Mrs. Alexander Trost, Switzerland

"We finally returned from Hawaii last Saturday.   We had a wonderful time at my parent's vow renewal ........ all thanks to you. What would I have done without you.    I promise to recommend you to everyone I know.   You made it into a most memorable event for all of my family, most especially my Mom and Dad. Again, thank you so very much." Cathy Obinana, California

"We will be forever grateful for the extraordinary care, planning, and execution of our 20th anniversary renewal ceremony. Everything went perfectly, and the setting with the ceremony set-up was spectacular. Even the people you hired to oversee the ceremony and evening were crying with joy. It could not have been more perfect, and I could never have been able to surprise my beautiful wife of 20 years (and our 7 year old daughter who always wanted to be a flower girl) without your help. To this day she says it was the most wonderful day of her life, and I believe it; she never looked more radiant. You'll hear from us again when we celebrate our 30th!", Dana and Steven Weinberg, Malibu, California

"The room (decoration of the honeymoon suite) was amazing!! It was a dream come true!! My whole wedding day was! I don't know what I would have done without you. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. It was truly the wedding I had always dreamed about and you made it come to life! All your extra hard work, extra touches and just your willingness to help, there are not enough words to show how happy and thankful Rick and I are to you...Again, thank you soooo much for everything. It was a magical day that I will never forget and thanks to you....it wouldn't have been so magical :-)" Rick and Nicole Fortes, Sacramento, California

"We have been basking in the glory of our wedding and honeymoon for quite some time, and now finally back to reality, but happily married. Thank you so much for all of your help and we loved the way things turned out and everything was so wonderful and charming. Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories of our wedding!" Aric Kollmyer and Kristine Zhang, Bellevue, WA

"We are back in Tokyo now. We had a great time in Hawaii and are still smiling and excited about our wedding. Needless to say we are so happy the way things turned out. Thank you so much for all your amazing work to make our wedding so special. Everyone was so happy and our guests told us that this was the best wedding they have been to. " Bill DeLorme and Sakura Sato, Japan

"Thank you! Yes, it was great! Thoroughly enjoyed Linda, she ’ s wonderful and perfect for what she does. I just adore her! Donna, our “musician” was lovely, enjoyed her immensely! In fact, everyone involved was perfect and exactly what we were looking for. I really mean that; wouldn't say it otherwise. The pastor was great and photographer and videographer were very enjoyable to work with….fun people. Thank you again for all of your help and assistance. The bouquet and cake were exactly what I was wanting; you did a great job of capturing the feel for me via e-mail and phone. Thanks again for everything Tori!" Steve and DeVonne Zeasman, Seattle, WA

"Your advice and recommendations were superb. The staff and services provided were top notch. You never disappointed me or made me settle for less..." Deanna and Linphord Darlington, Washington D.C.

"Tori was excellent. Not much more I can say!! Better than Excellent. Tori made sure that everything ran smoothly. She helped calm the grooms nerves and made sure everyone relaxed and in their places. Just leave it all to Tori. She has a great idea of what people like and makes you feel at ease throughout the whole process. You can trust her to make your dreams come true . I am a control freak normally so was quite panicked at the thought of putting my wedding day in someone else’s hands. We are based in Australia so it was even more scary getting married in a foreign country. After seeing everything that Tori organized, I could not have done a better job myself. I would not have been able to find the vendors that Tori did. I would give you an A+++++ rating for the service. Plus the cost for your services was incredibly reasonable. Tori, you are very good at what you do, keep doing it!!" Darren and Megan Upton, Australia" Darren and Megan Upton, Australia

"Tori, Mark and I feel so relieved about our wedding plans. That if it weren't for you and your wonderful business associates, things wouldn't have gone as well as they did. You produced everything you said you would and more. Our wedding was complete because of you! Thanks!" Mark & Mary Wilson, Texas

"Aloha, Tori...we just want to extend a heartfelt "mahalo" for doing such an amazing job on our wedding. We have to admit that we weren't sure how you would be able to put together a wedding for 50 people while based in California, but you did an outstanding job. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish. The professionals on this island have a high respect for your work, and we can understand why! We hope everyone uses your company, because you are truly the best out there! It was worth every penny!"   Mr. & Mrs. Steven Harris, Florida

"Tori, James and I had the absolutely most perfect, fabulous and gorgeous wedding ever! It exceeded any expectations we may have had! The bouquet and leis were incredible! My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! I was so thrilled with it, along with my lei, and couldn't have asked for anything different. You put together a great group of people. Thank you so much for a most memorable event!" Arda & James Widman, Texas

“Your honest approach and quick responses to my questions and concerns set you apart from all the other people that I spoke to. You also had some good ideas that we were able to incorporate. You also were able to understand my view of looking for a value, and you could have run the price up if you wanted to, but I think you understood what was important to me. Thank you so much for that. The payment for the wedding is what you earned, but the flowers are because of who you are and what a special person you are, and I wanted to say thank you for that.” Daniel Fisher

"Tori runs a great business that demonstrates a lot of care and overall knowledge of how things take place. She's made both of us feel very well cared for and special. Thanks, again, for making our day a memorable one!"   Brian and Grace Leep, Virginia

"Jesse and I are about to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! We never got to tell you how thankful we are for how wonderful our wedding was. It truly was a dream come true! Everything ran so smoothly! The site was beautiful, the cake, the flowers...just everything was so PERFECT!!!! I cannot put into words how grateful we are for all the work you put into making our wedding a dream!!! Gail was very pleasant to work with and erased all the wedding day jitters. Jesse and I really didn't have a care in the world on our wedding day. Once we got there and did the rehearsal, we knew it would be perfect! Thank you so so so very much! Stan did a beautiful job on our wedding video. It wasn't long and boring like some we've seen. It left you wanting more. Everybody we show it to can not believe how fun it was to watch a wedding on DVD. I recommend Stan Kawasaki to everybody, I wish everybody could have the opportunity to work with Stan. He's incredible! Arna Photography is amazing! She's very pleasant to work with and she's patient. She knows what to look for and she is comfortable with all of her decisions. She knows what she's doing! The cake was beyond our wildest dreams! It was absolutely beautiful, way more than I expected. When we saw the cake, we looked at each other and said "that's beautiful, it's so perfect". It was like a surprise gift after the ceremony. The bouquets were beautiful as well! I know I submitted photos similar to the actual flowers we got, but these were more beautiful than I had imagined. As Gail brought them into the room, I was overwhelmed with excitement. I wish you could put together a package like this for everybody! I wouldn't have gone with anybody else than those you chose if I had to make the decisions myself!!!!!!" Jennifer and Jesse Tomasello, Fort Worth, TX

"I have nothing but great things to say – I had started with another coordination company and was very frustrated with their responsiveness… but with Tori I felt like I had my own personal coordinator who was spending all day on my own arrangements! She was very responsive, extremely helpful, and made the entire experience one of the best times of my life! I cannot put into words how relieved I was to find someone who I could completely trust to arrange every detail exactly as I would have done, with rates that were very reasonable and worth every penny. I absolutely recommend Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners for destination brides who need to feel assured that their perfect wedding details are taken care of. You are treated like the only customer they are working with, not like one of many who have to wait in line! With Hawaii being such a popular place for weddings, it is important to choose a coordinator who takes notice of the things that are important to you and will work whatever hours needed to ensure your day is perfect. My wedding was the best time of my life! I am so glad I switched to Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners, I was stress-free and happy from the moment we started the planning through the wedding itself. Absolutely top notch customer service… thank you Tori for your outstanding work in preparing every detail, and for Angela for ensuring the wedding day itself went smoothly. I contacted multiple coordinators during my initial planning and this was by far the absolute best choice I could have made. The fact that the price was extremely reasonable was just icing on the cake. I hope you continue to be successful in the wedding coordination business, and I think as your name gets out there more it will be very obvious that you are one of the best players in this market. Many thanks!!"     Jennifer & Tony Strafaci, Tennessee

"Everything in our wedding was perfect. We liked the recommendation of having Maureen's hair and makeup done in our hotel room." Chris and Maureen Endres, Washington

“We just returned from paradise and can’t believe that it is all over. We just wanted to tell you thank you for everything. It was all we imagined and much more. Everything went smoothly and everyone had a blast…I appreciate more than you know your professionalism, you kept me relaxed during it all and I wasn’t stressed on wedding day. If you ever need a reference, please send them my way. Thanks again for everything!!” Heather and Brad Davis, Texas

This couple shared this with another potential client asking for a reference: "Tori is very experienced, professional, and takes care of the smallest details which are very important and count when planning a wedding. She knows which restaurants will cater to you and how the food is, what gown travels best, what hairdo holds up best...Any question from a flower to a color, Tori can assist you with. She sent someone to my room to do makeup and the young girl was incredible! No question is too silly for Tori. Tori has great photos of flowers for you, the gazebo, and the lei for the groom to be. Her assistants on Oahu were so helpful and nice! Everything flowed with continuity and organization. Whichever island you use with Tori, she is reachable by email, always professional and courteous, and will give you the magical experience and memory you are looking for. All were reliable, showed up on time, and were familiar with the smallest details that had been arranged. Everything for our vow renewal was absolutely perfect. Your assistants were great and thought of everything! The staff at Kahala was very gracious and helpful! It was a great choice since it rained. Well worth the cost for a once in a lifetime experience! The photo album was wonderful. He did a great job! The flowers were lovely. Tori, thank you for making this such a wonderful experience for us both!” Clemente & Fran Aquilino, New York

“You made us feel comfortable and welcome. You were open to our ideas, and you provided wonderful suggestions…You were professional, accessible, excited, and helpful.” Ariel and Chris Palmieri, California

"Our wedding at the waterfall was beautiful. Thank you so much for suggesting this location. It was so convenient to be able to get my hair and makeup done there and walk out to my ceremony. It was amazing how close to the ocean we were for our photos after our wedding!" (Names withheld at the couple's request)

"I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners for everything you did, especially Tori Rogers. We will never forget our beautiful wedding day! It was perfect. Aloha and mahalo!” Keith and Karyn Patton, Pennsylvania

"Tori, thank you so much for planning our wedding at this chapel. It was so wonderful to have the wedding in a chapel that was close to our hotel and to the beach. We have wonderful photos of us at sunset that we will cherish forever. This chapel was so reasonable priced, too. Thanks so much!" Linda & Anthony Chavez, California.

"Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners was the friendliest service I spoke with initially. They always maintained good communication with us, provided us with a spread sheet and summary of every detail, and made us feel like they really cared about us and not just our money. We are so happy we went with this service. Tori made it such a special experience for us." Jack and Jennifer Warner, California.

"Our flowers were even more beautiful than we could have hoped! All we had to do was tell you our wishes and they came true!" Sam & Michelle Flores, Canada

“You were extremely helpful in planning our wedding, especially when it came to our religious backgrounds. You were the only one to come forward with suggestions and guidance.” Stephen & Sasha, Lewis, California

"Aloha, Tori! The ceremony was exactly what we wanted. The musician was fabulous; he was very helpful, flexible, and fun. Our guests felt welcomed when we presented them each with a lei. The stylist for my hair and makeup was very flexible, very accommodating, and we enjoyed our visit to her relaxed salon. Thank you for your extra touches; the information you forwarded for our officiate was very helpful, and your continued correspondence right up to the day made us always feel at ease that things were going smoothly. Again, thank you very much for coordinating our vow renewal. Your services and professionalism were greatly appreciated." Jan and Brian Berendsen, Ohio

Dear Tori: We wanted to send along a thank you for making our special day go flawlessly. Your organization and people were excellent. Our compliments to everyone as we continue our life journey together. If you need any recommendations, we would more than happy to provide them!!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!    Michelle & Simon Wilson, Pennsylvania

“Kimberly and I just wanted to thank you for using your expertise in setting us up with everything we needed to make our special 5-year anniversary celebration and vow renewal on Maui as wonderful as we could have hoped it would be. Your attention to detail and enthusiasm made our vow renewal stress-free and an amazing memory. It is obvious that you take time to help make each event you plan a special memory to cherish.”     Dr. Rick & Kimberly Swartzburg, California

“It was very difficult trying to plan our Oahu wedding from California. Tori’s energy and enthusiasm made things much easier! She was able to help us find wedding professionals who were suited to our personal needs. She was always willing to help and was genuinely interested in making our wedding the best it could be. Thanks, Tori!” Gina & Robert Lazo, California

“Tori, I would like to say thank you for making my wedding a dream come true. Everything was perfect! I LOVED my bouquet. The reception and the ballroom were absolutely gorgeous.

Again, thank you so much for your help!” Tommie & Claudia Villanueva, Texas

“All was beautiful! Thank you for the help. I surely could not have done it alone. You made it an unforgettable vow renewal." Rhonda & Barry Haney, Louisiana

“Tori, thanks to you and your professionals, our wedding was perfect. We had never been to Hawaii before, and no idea what to expect. With you based in California, we weren’t sure how you were going to make it work. We liked you so much on the phone that we had to give it a chance. Not only did It all piece together perfection, but the professionals told us how much they like to work with you. Thank you so much for making this our most special time together.” Stacy & T.J. Goldman, Oregon

“We truly recommend Tori Rogers’ Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners. She fulfilled our every specific request with ease and constant communication. Our wedding in Kauai was perfect from beginning to end. Thank you, Tori. We got lucky with you.” Lee & Patricia Carroll, California
"Tori, you were and are the best! You made everything so easy and everything came together just how we wanted it! We could not have had a better wedding!" Mike and Jennifer Scalise, Maryland

“Great website! Very good record with the Better Business Bureau. (You provided) prompt feedback and attention to detail. (You were) very flexible when we decided to change the location a few days before! (The on-site coordinator) was very nice and through. The photos and guitarist were wonderful. (The officiant) totally impressed us with his words and sincerity. Thank you for all of your effort! (It was) a wonderful experience.” Kenneth & Kathy Tripp

"Our wedding was absolutely a dream come true thanks to Tori and Grace. They came to my rescue when another wedding planner failed me. Everything was absolutely perfect. Everything that I wanted and imagined happened thanks to Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners. Furthermore, there were no unexpected surprises. They let me know exactly what was going to happen and what the wedding site would look like. It was so beautiful that my maid of honor and my unwed guests want to get married in the same place and way that I did."     Lisa and Chris Zabala, New York

Unlike the many other companies we contacted, Tori returned our calls immediately. She followed up with information, as promised. She took the time to get to know us so she could offer suggestions that would help us make our decisions. Her professionals were all amazing, and we love our photos! Her honesty about our budget and what we could do to help save money allowed us to have the affordable wedding of our dreams. Thank you so much for your help, Tori!” Danny & Louisa, New Mexico
