Groom Review: We have worked with Kim for 2 years from September 2022 till our wedding in September 2024 and could not have done it without her and her team, especially since it was a destination wedding! She is always on time for monthly meetings and will let you know otherwise if not. She is organized, has good connections with different vendors, and provide advice/suggestions when needed. Coming from a different country, we were able to ship various items for our wedding beforehand and Kim was able to pick up the packages on 2 separate days. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about the vendors doing their job as Kim and her team were on top of it. Also did not need to worry about cleaning up afterwards as they had packed everything up for us to take back. Overall our wedding felt stress free and we were able to enjoy celebrating with friends and family instead of worrying if things were running on time. Our guests also commented our wedding as being “beautiful”, “best wedding ever!”, having one of the best wedding food, and some single couples not wanting to have a wedding after seeing ours. A big thank you to Kim and her team for helping to execute what we had wanted for our wedding. Whether it’s a local or a destination wedding in Maui, it will save you a lot of time planning by hiring a wedding planner like Kim who has plenty of experience!
Bride Review: If you’re planning on getting married in Maui, I would highly recommend hiring a wedding planner named Kim Yonamine from Exclusive Island Weddings. Kim and her team are AMAZING!! Planning a wedding is hard work, especially when you have no clue where to start. I remembered scrolling through social media, and I stumbled across my childhood friend’s social media page and asked her if she knew anyone that she recommends for a wedding planner on Maui. She recommended a few, but Kim’s social media page stood out to me, and I knew that Kim was the one that I wanted to have coordinate and execute my wedding. Kim was patient, kind and brought our vision to life, and made my husband and I feel at ease throughout the planning process. From our monthly meetings, Kim helped us every step of the way to create our dream wedding and kept us on top of our timeline and budget. Kim will always have your best interest in mind. Kim and her staff are with you every step of the way on your special day. My guest couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful everything went on our special day from the ceremony to the reception. Kim and her staff not only made our night unforgettable but also made our family and guests’ night a night to remember as well. If you need someone or know of someone getting married in Maui and need to plan your special day, I highly recommend hiring Kim at Exclusive Island Weddings. EVERYONE needs a Kim in their wedding planning process!!
