Every wedding and event is a collaborative effort. Tori's synergistic approach has created everlasting unique relationships with clients, professionals, and venues. She works with you and your carefully curated professionals as a team throughout the planning process and on the event day, from start to finish, planning to production.
"Tori has deep roots in Hawaii and connected us to the best vendors. They were all amazing to work with, and clearly love working with her. She not only helped us with every aspect of the wedding, but also gave us recommendations for the pre-wedding Beach Day we wanted to throw for our guests. Thanks to her we went to an amazing beach (not well-known to tourists), and were able to easily rent beach equipment and games for the perfect prelude to the big day. The wedding itself was perfect, and huge credit for that is due to Tori and her team...Tori is genuine and caring, and her design for our wedding felt very personal and tailored to us as a couple. She can be a mad scientist when you need creativity and vision, and then be efficient and organized when things need to get done." Alex & Gordy, Maui Wedding
To assist with your vision and the creative process, we create a blueprint of innovative ideas for your event, develop vision boards, and bring it all to life on your wedding day or event day. Clients are always impressed with Tori's skills at magically creating something better than what they imagined with only a few shared details of inspiration.
"My photographer said she had never worked with a more organized and detail oriented wedding planner! Our guest count changed, our date changed, our details changed, but Tori kept us informed in her summary and never let us feel discouraged. Everyone was surprised at how calm I was on my wedding day (I'm sort of a control freak!) , but I knew Tori and her team had it all under control. Go with the flow and enjoy your wedding. It happens once. It happens quickly." Jennifer & Jack, Maui Wedding
By getting to know you through conversations and our questionnaire, we align with your vision and provide personal touches with attention to every detail. After almost 3 decades in this industry, the most important elements to me are the relationships and the client experience. How is your celebration going to be unique to the others you have attended?
"Tori was available for unlimited support and discussions through the entire process. She provided vendor recommendations and participated in many of the vendor discussions. She was very proactive in chasing down vendors – even visiting them on site to ensure we got the best for our event. She managed our day of timeline and was incredibly creative in solving pain points for us – she even went above and beyond to manage our event transportation (drivers, van rentals etc.). Access to her stash of wedding materials (frames, candles, linens, etc.) were SO helpful, especially when it comes to destination weddings." Cassie & Gordon, Maui Wedding

"We wanted a destination wedding in our favorite place Maui - Tori made this possible and the 4 day wedding event was utterly spectacular - Tori interviewed us first to make sure we were a good fit - then she spent so many hours over the year of planning encouraging, inspiring and guiding us to the best venue and service providers - she had so many brilliant ideas that made the day so special - She personally brought so much uniqueness to our wedding! I can’t imagine having a destination wedding in Hawaii without her! I am very particular and she far exceeded any expectations! We recommend Tori as highly as possible!" Tony & Jake, Maui Wedding
Establishing and fostering client relationships with our colleagues and experienced professionals throughout the state of Hawaii and California provides our clients a variety of fabulous venues and talented experts (LGBTQIA+ friendly).
"Tori needs to write a book and do videos about wedding planning. She is the BEST. So refreshing to have someone so transparent and attentive. She actually LISTENED to what we wanted and made it all work. No ask was too big for her. Tori made everything possible for us. She has an extensive and impressive network of professionals who all went above and beyond for us. We always felt comfortable and stress-free when we spoke with Tori, and we never worried about a thing. We knew she had everything under control and would be able to represent us well when making any decisions." Heather & Rob, Maui Wedding

Focusing on the type of event energy you desire, we provide ideas and resources to incorporate what is needed to create that unforgettable experience.
"Her email response was personalized and not some generic response like the others. She wanted to actually speak to us to get to know us instead of just booking us. What really stood out was her passion and her energy---it's authentic and infectious. Fast forward to hiring her for full service planning, which was amazing. Tori made us feel at ease and had everything under control. She always had the best ideas and suggestions, and she was able to connect us with the best professionals who cared about making our wedding special." The Stewarts- Maui Wedding
Everyone deserves to get paid for their work, but we want you to be able afford your celebration, too! Best of all, we charge a flat fee for our services and do not take percentages or increase (upsell) the costs of the vendors. These savings are huge! Hundreds to thousands of dollars in savings!
"Tori is very experienced and knowledgeable about how to run various types of weddings, and she worked with us to plan our wedding within our budget and vision, suggesting the perfect combination of vendors and designs to include. We wanted to be conscious of our budget despite planning a wedding in Hawaii and were very happy with how everything turned out. On wedding day, you can trust Tori to lead the charge and get everyone on the same page to ensure that everything runs smoothly." Camille & Arshak, Oahu Wedding
​We make every effort to keep our events sustainable, from ecofriendly products to locally sourced food and florals. Click here to see how.
"We wanted a beautiful wedding that utilized as many resources local to Hawaii as possible. Tori recommended the best local vendors to match our vision, and repurposed our flowers from our wedding for our Recovery Farewell Brunch the following day. She knew which flowers were local to Hawaii and which required importation. Our caterer sourced ingredients from many local farms, which she even listed on her menus. Rather than waste money on wedding favors people people usually leave behind, Tori suggested a flower bar. The guests loved it! It gave them something to do during our cocktail hour and gave them flowers to wear during the wedding. We appreciated all of Tori's ideas to limit our wedding footprint on the island." Stephanie & Alan, Oahu Wedding
