We traveled to Maui from New Mexico for our August 16, 2016 wedding. Leah was amazing she coordinated everything from start to finish and made the process so easy for us. Our beach location was amazing. The photographer Kim produced the most beautiful pictures! Even now in September some of my co workers are talking about how beautiful our wedding pictures were. Our officiant and guitarist were amazing as well as the gals who did my hair and makeup. Leah made my boquet from a picture I had sent her, it turned out beautiful. Thank you to Leah for making our wedding so memorable and perfect!
Leah also let us customize our wedding package to exactly what we wanted, unlike other places. We were able to add and remove things from the package without any issues, all the way up until a month before the wedding – she was very understanding of the fact that things may change from the time you select your package to the time of your wedding, so allows you to make these changes along the way. Because of all this, we were able to have the wedding we dreamed of!
Let's be honest here-- Weddings are expensive. My husband and I had a vision of having a destination wedding, married on a beach in an intimate setting, but not break the bank. We are from Coquitlam BC Canada. We've never been to Maui and we chose this place because most of our guests haven't been either and they were super excited about it as soon as they heard our ideas. It was the perfect excuse to travel. We did our research a year before our set wedding date and after contacting several wedding co-ordinators over the phone, I felt most comfortable with Leah Robb from Island Wedding Memories and we booked her right away. (Here's a tip brides-to-be... Don't wait!! The best vendors get booked up a year before!) She was responsive and you could tell she's very experienced. I don't typically trust vendors easily but I could confide in her after a couple messages back and forth. She was genuine and patient. We gave her a budget and she was able to stick to it closely, while updating the cost every time I've requested a change. She was very organized and that chimed well with me! The electronic package she had provided us was most appreciated. It had the day of schedule and I didn't even need to create my own Excel files. She is a one stop-shop! Our wedding day took place on Mokapu beach right before sunset. It went smoothly and we couldn't have asked for a better setting. We had our reception at the Upper Pond at Gannon's and Leah coordinated really well with the restaurant. She decorated the table exactly how I would've liked and her floral arrangements were gorgeous. Choosing Leah as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we've made as it took the stress out of the wedding planning process. I wouldn't have been able to organized this on my own and had so much local knowledge as first-time visitors, had we not asked Leah to assist us. Thanks Leah for making our day memorable! Mahalo~
I was impressed with the speed and throughout responses we initially received when looking to book, however, after we paid our deposit we didn't get the same communication. Overall we loved our wedding because of the significance behind it, and we also loved our officiant and musician. Our coordinator however did a poor job communicating with us as well as the people we contracted which created some "problems" which really just turned into a big disappointment. We booked with a photographer with the rates that were posted on the website, however when it came time to the wedding only her assistant and a summer intern showed. The packages had changed unbeknownst to us and while we though we booked and paid for the professional AND her assistant (which is what was originally communicated and quoted), we only got the assistant and a summer intern. The biggest thing to us was to have the professional photographer that we had chose but that is not what we ended up getting. The frustrating part was that we said we wanted the professional. It is for this big reason, and several other small ones that I have to rate them a 2/5. On a positive note,I will say that the convenience of choosing from the a la cart menu was nice.
From the very start all the way past our wedding date, she was always very accommodating and easy to work with. One of the things that set her apart from other places we checked into was that she stayed within the budget we requested and did not try to push more things on us that we didn’t want/need. Other places, in comparison, had given us quotes several thousand dollars more than our budget, and were not understanding of why we wanted to keep to our budget.
When my husband I decided to have our wedding in Maui, we researched different vendors. We live in New York, so finding a wedding planner who we could trust was very, very important to us. Leah Robb and her company, Island Wedding Memories, was an absolute dream to work with. From the very first conversation, she made us feel comfortable and special. She was attentive, which is crucial when dealing with a bride--especially one who lives all the way on the other side of the country. Because we paid for our wedding ourself, her prices were perfect for us. We spent about $2,000 on a package--you can create your own package and add as many things as your heart desires. We got a beautiful ceremony for 6 people ( us and 4 guests) for a very affordable price. And can we talk about her team of people who she works with?? They are amazing, funny, and courteous. The whole group really made our big day fun. Leah took care of our marriage license appointment and even got us reservations to a wonderful restaurant. We had a little reception dinner there.
I can't recommend Leah enough when it comes to planning a destination wedding! She was AWESOME to work with while planning our destination wedding on Maui! Our wedding day turned out so much better than either of us ever imagined, and Leah was there the whole way making sure we didn’t have anything to worry about. She was also very prompt with responding to any calls or emails I sent to her. We can’t thank Leah enough for the wonderful and beautiful wedding we had!
I would recommend Island Wedding Memories to anyone!! Thank you Leah for for giving me my dream wedding!!
