 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were recently married by Joel on a beach in Kauai. The ceremony was everything I hoped it would be - short and simple. Joel delivered that with warmth and sincerity. Communication was so easy and he was very responsive. He was very patient and kind with me when I had trouble deciding which beach I wanted the ceremony to be on!

The musician, Jeremy, was so sweet. I had previously requested a few songs he didn't know. He offered to learn them, but I didn't mind  and was fine with another song. When we arrived for our ceremony, he informed me that he learned all 3 songs! It was so sweet and special, and a wonderful surprise!

The leis were very nice. I had also ordered a haku flower crown and a  tropical bouquet. Just gorgeous! Aloha Ever After is a 12/10 and I would highly recommend them.

Joel and Jeremy, mahalo nui loa! It was a wonderful ceremony that we'll always treasure.

My husband & I renewed our vows for our 15 year wedding anniversary at sunset on a beach in Kauai, thanks to Joel at Aloha Ever After! It was a moment I will always treasure.
Thank you, Joel, for the amazing experience, the beautiful ceremony, and the thoughtfulness you put into writing and delivering it! I am thankful that Adarra, our concierge at Outrigger, was able to coordinate this for us. It was incredible!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joel made this the easiest wedding to plan.  My daughter decided to get married just about 1 month before our long-planned family vacation to Kauai.  I interviewed several wedding planners and ALOHA EVER AFTER was the best fit.  Very accommodating, quick to respond (considering a 4 hour time difference), and a wonderful and simple ceremony...just as we asked. Highly recommend ALOHA EVER AFTER.

They know exactly how to make you feel comfortable and capture real, natural moments. The photos came out better than we could’ve imagined. I even switched up the location of the shoot last minute and they accommodated to my request with no issues, couldn't thank them enough! —highly, highly recommend.

Thank You to Timory and Joel at "Aloha Ever After" for making our special day the most amazing experience ever!

When my wife and I decided to do a destination wedding in Hawaii, we had no clue where to start. I started out researching photographers and ministers, when I contacted Aloha Ever After and spoke with Timory, I just knew this was the right company and the right people to make our wedding the best it could be.
We set our wedding date for Dec.9,2018. (I know, I unintentionally procrastinated with my review.) But our experience was phenomenal and the memory stays with us every day.

Timory did an incredible job helping us with information to get the marriage license, flowers, suggested accommodations in the area and even provided great options for the ceremony. after seeing Shipwrecks Beach, we chose that as the place to start our new life. We arranged to have her partner/Husband Joel perform the ceremony and Timory on photography. They were both awesome to work with, in tune with our wishes and exceptional with assisting us the whole way.

The ceremony was beautiful, we did a sand ceremony as well and all of the photos were absolutely breathtaking! One of my outstanding memories during the ceremony was Timory asking us to pause briefly to look into the ocean, there was a Manta Ray lingering just off the beach, in front of our location, she said that was a rare occurance at that beach, in fact, she said she hadn't seen that in 20 years of performing weddings at that beach, the locals at the Tidepools restaurant all concurred and didn't believe it until I showed them the photo. we chalked it up as the spirit of our lost loved ones joining our special moment. that was super cool to experience.

I truly can't say enough about Aloha Ever After, The prices were more than reasonable, the help with planning was priceless, the team of Timory and Joel and the overall experience is something I'll never forget.

We've returned once to revisit for our anniversary and to reflect on the memories. We hope to go again someday to renew our vows and you know my first call will be to Aloha Ever After!

Thank You for a job well done!

 Verified My husband and I eloped to Kauai for a leap day wedding. We wanted a low-stress, yet magical, wedding and that's exactly what we got! Joel was so helpful and responsive all the way through the planning process. From helping us find a location to helping us with our vows, everything was smooth and easy.  The ceremony was beautiful and the location Joel recommended was breathtaking. It was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't have changed anything. Thank you Aloha Ever After!

 Verified If you plan on getting married on the beautiful island of Kauai, you MUST use Aloha Ever After. Joel was by far the most professional planner I spoke with. He was extremely communicative from the very beginning. He listened to exactly what my now husband and I were looking for. We wanted a private and intimate beach wedding. Unfortunately, less than ideal weather and crowds due to the holiday time, changed our location more than once. Joel calmly pivoted and provided us an absolutely PERFECT beach location. We didn't have to worry about anything. Aloha Ever After took care of everything! We loved Joel's officiating. Timory took beautiful pictures and Robert's video of our ceremony will be treasured forever!!!

 Verified Took my girlfriend (now fiancé) to Kauai for vacation in December for a romantic getaway. Little did she know I had a proposal planned and was ready to make it a forever moment. Although it was slightly stressful just because I wanted things to go perfect and I spent months deflecting the idea that I would be popping the question it ended up being one of the happiest moments of my life. Joel put me in touch with Timory who were both an absolute pleasure to work with. Timory spent a good amount of time with me on the phone to get everything just right and went out of her way to get the perfect keepsakes for the love of my life to take home in remembrance of our grand adventure. Due to it being the raining season it was a little difficult to find a good spot for clear weather and a perfect sunset. We ended up having to reschedule due to a weather system coming in that disrupted our original plans. Timory again went out of her way to rearrange her schedule so that we could get this done. It ended up being the perfect proposal and I could not be happier with the beautiful setup they had waiting for us. 10/10 recommend.

 Verified Aloha spirit wedding- I highly recommend
I got married 8/7/19 and used aloha ever after. I cannot recommend them enough. If you are getting married in Hawaii this is not only your best option (i thoroughly researched every single event coordinator and they were the highest rated and the best priced) but will also bring the aloha spirit to your wedding in a way i don't think is possible if you plan your own or go with another company. What i mean by this is Timory and Joel think of, plan, and coordinate EVERYTHING FOR YOU. All you have to do is show up. Literally. I wasn't stressed about a single detail and it far exceeded all of my expectations. The only anxiety i had was the morning of i had a thought cross my mind was this too easy? Is it possible that a wedding can actually be this stress free? The answer is YES! Everything was absolutely perfect. I am super picky about my hair and makeup so i was terrified that i wouldn't like who they sent over, what the lady sent over would do, or that she wouldnt show up or something. They coordinated everything for me and SHE WAS PHENOMENAL. My hair and makeup have never looked better. They also picked out an amazing florist. The flowers were perfect and exactly what i had in mind i don't know how they coordinated so perfectly what i wanted with the florist. The live ukulele was also so beautiful during the ceremony it was the perfect ambiance to the most beautiful beach wedding you have ever seen. I also loved the videographer they hired and the video ended up turning out so well. I really loved that i got to pick out what songs i wanted on it as now those songs will always be a reminder of our wedding. The ceremony was perfect for our tastes and was exactly what i had in mind. Joel did such a great job and has such a lovely speaking voice i was so thrilled with the entire ceremony. The length, what he said, the way he said it, everything was perfect and intimate and touching and i couldn't have done it better if i had planned everything meticulously myself. Timory is also an amazing photographer. I am really picky with pictures and often don't like the way i look in them. She made me feel so comfortable and i love the way she balanced getting all the special candid pictures i wanted with all the special posed pictures i wanted in the time we had without feeling rushed or like it was taking too long. This is also coming from someone who hates taking pictures and i really felt like i was able to be present in the moment and enjoy my special day while also get my picture taken which i have literally never been able to say. Timory is a gem and is such a joy to be around you will love having her at your wedding and the phenomenal pictures are just a bonus. We also got the coffee table photo album and it is truly a work of art. I LOVE it so much and it is not something i could have done myself or have gotten someone else to do a better job with. Timory actually being at your wedding and truly experiencing that joy with you comes out 100% in the way she puts your album together. You see that passion and love in the way she puts it together and it is truly beautiful. My husband and i were moved to tears when looking through it. I seriously love looking back on my wedding day and its all thanks to Timory and Joel. They have excellent taste and worked so hard to make sure that this was the best day of my life. They have excellent communication and will tailor everything to your specific tastes and make sure that everything is taken care of for you. All my friends talk about how stressed they were on their weddings and how they didn't get to enjoy the day and some of them talk about even crying out of being upset and stressed on their weddings and i simply just can't relate. The only tears i had were from being overwhelmed with love and happiness. Overall i can't recommend aloha weddings enough. If you want to actually enjoy your wedding with a true aloha spirit at extremely affordable prices you MUST book through aloha ever after. You will love working with Timory and Joel and your wedding day will be peaceful and stress free.

Joel and Timory were perfect wedding planners. From the very first phone call to the beautiful photos received, the service was personalized, efficient and excellent. The ala carte menu offered is ideal for making your wedding your very own. Joel was the ultimate minister and Timory was the best photographer ever! We are a lesbian couple, middle aged (well, maybe a little more than middle aged) and were made to feel like this was the most important day of our 23 year relationship. There couldn't possibly be a better company than Aloha Ever After!

 Verified We eloped in Hawaii recently and Joel and Timory were amazing. The weather on the day wasn't co-operating and Joel helped find us a new location at short notice that was simply perfect. Joel made our ceremony so special, personalised and professional and we were very happy with the result. Timory did wonderful photos on a windy and very overcast day and they have turned out amazing! Highly recommend them both as everything was so perfect!

 Verified Joel, from AlohaEverAfter, was very professional, supportive and helpful, making himself available at all times. Every detail was handled and contingencies planned and executed, from completing proper applications, beach and site reservations to arranging for hair appointments. The wedding itself, was beautiful and simple, set in a lush romantic environment and conducted with a nice blending of humor and insightful thoughts. AlohaEverAfter was worth ever penny spent.

 Verified I worked with Timory to plan a surprise proposal for my girlfriend (now fiance!). The proposal turned out perfectly in large part to Timory's professionalism, hard work, great communication and creative ideas. The cost is a little expensive, but it is well worth it if you want your proposal to go well. It all greatly reduces the stress level to have someone there who knows what they are doing and can help setup a romantic scene for your proposal. Right after the proposal and photo-shoot, Timory showed us a preview of the pictures she took and they looked absolutely beautiful. She knows exactly what to do in order to create the perfect pictures to capture the perfect moments. I highly recommend working with Timory and Joel!

 Verified Aloha Ever After, Timory and Joel, did our wedding planning and photography (Timory) for our wedding here on Kauai. We had our wedding at Kauai Beach Resort with about 50 guests. We had our ceremony on the beach and the reception in a tent on the lawn area. Timory did a great job communicating throughout the entire journey of planning up until the wedding and made sure everything went smoothly on the wedding day. I let her know my budget up front and not one time was I pressured to go above (which I feel is rare with a wedding coordinator/planner). We absolutely loved our setup/tent, decor, cake and DJ (DJ mike) that she hired and worked with. Everything looked amazing with the beach right next to us and the lighting and the way the colors were put together. By the end of the night we had everyone raving how great everything was! Every guest was having the best time and the groom and I were extremely happy! It is an incredible feeling at the end of the night knowing there is not one thing you would have wanted differently-huge thanks to Timory and Joel for that! They really care about the bride/groom and are willing to go above and beyond to make the day special and flawless! As we just got married, as soon as we get our pictures back, we will let you all review readers know how the photography turns out! Huge thanks to Aloha Ever After for making our special day everything and more that we could have wanted!

 Verified From the moment I contacted Aloha Ever After and spoke with Joel, he understood my wishes and helped plan every aspect of the wedding and ceremony. The communication over the past few months was excellent. On the day of our wedding we were planning to go to Anahola Beach, unfortunately it began to rain hard and wouldn't let up. It was raining on most areas of the island and we were unfamiliar with the island. Joel and Timory gave us options to relocate the ceremony or even change the day and when we insisted on keeping the day they helped us find a location that had a pavilion. It turned out to be a stunning location on Lydgate Beach. The ceremony that Joel performed was beautiful and felt like it was tailored to us. The ceremony was very special and intimate. We couldn't be more grateful that Joel and Timory were a part of our special day and I would like to give a big thanks and high review on the musician that they chose, Amy. The pictures came out beautiful and the overall experience was perfect. If you are thinking about using Aloha Ever After no need to look anywhere else! Thank you so much for making our special day perfect.
