We just had our destination wedding in Haiku Mill in Maui in August 2021. And yes, we were one of the many couples that had to postpone our wedding (originally planned for April 2020) due to covid.Not only we had a perfect wedding, my bridesmaids were amazed at how calm I was before and on wedding day (I knew I can trust Lorrie to take care of everything!). But more importantly, it's during the difficult times that you see someone's true quality! It was such a stressful time for us, having to deal with the unknown, wanted to pick a new date but really had no clue what's going to happen next... We actually changed our dates a couple of times back in 2020. She was always so patient, encouraging, so supportive while being such a professional. She went above and beyond to help out with things that I think she didn't even need to, just to make sure we have the best experience possible. Needless to say, I highly recommend Maui's Angels!

It hard to believe it has already been a year and a half since our big day! Words cannot express enough how grateful I am for Lorrie and the Maui's Angels team for making the wedding of our dreams come true! It can be a little intimidating to plan a destination wedding 5,000 miles away, but after hours of research and reading review after review we decided that Maui's Angels were (and still are!) the best in the business. Lorrie and her team were so helpful from start to finish, listening to our vision and turning it into reality. Every question was answered promptly (even with a 6 hour time difference!) and the venders and venue went above and beyond what we could have imagined! Not a single detail was forgotten and our wedding was absolutely amazing!I wish I could give more stars for Lorrie and her team! As a bride that is not a planner- as you can tell by my late review, I cannot express enough gratitude and praise for Maui's Angels Destination Wedding and Events! Mahalo ladies you are the best!

If you're looking for a wedding planner in Maui, save your time and look no further! I did my due diligence and spent a few weeks researching and interviewing a few planners before chatting with Maui's Angels. I certainly have a type A personality so I really wanted to make sure we worked with someone that we could absolutely depend on to make our special day perfect. We can easily say that Maui's Angels delivered on that! My husband and I live in NYC and recently got married at Ponomakena Sanctuary in September. Believe it or not, our entire planning experience was really fun and stress-free all thanks to Ali! She kept me calm even during moments where most brides would completely freak out. Ali doesn't just coordinate timelines and manage&negotiate vendor contracts. She goes above and beyond to provide impactful ideas and alternative suggestions. Like many brides, selecting color palettes, fabrics, flowers, lighting, furniture, etc. aren't things I've ever had to do before. Thankfully, Ali is so knowledgeable in each area that her expertise helped us easily make decisions. I actually struggled with describing the sort of vision I was aiming for. Whenever I looked on Pinterest for inspiration, nothing ever matched my style exactly. Despite my limited examples, Ali somehow managed to truly understand what I was going for! She put a twist on my Pinterest pins so that the style of our wedding would be original and true to our personalities! She achieved our modern, yet ethereal and romantic vibe which was cohesive all around! Ali stayed on top of every last detail and was always 5 steps ahead! When our flight to Hawaii for our wedding was delayed an entire day, she was quick to reschedule our marriage license appt which we would've missed. It even rained during our ceremony, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference; no one was panicked by it. By the time the rain stopped, you honestly wouldn't have even known it rained at all because all of our chairs and glassware were dry and spotless by dinner time. Ali teamed us with some of the best vendors on the island who all worked together to continue to make things run so smoothly that the rain wasn't even a concern at all. We can't even imagine how our wedding would've turned out if it weren't for Ali! Not only is she great at what she does, but she has an amazing personality which are two really important factors when choosing a planner. I would jokingly refer to her as my professional maid of honor because not only would she keep things in order, but she kept me calm and shared in our level of excitement all throughout the process. She's so passionate about what she does that she equally aims for perfection which put us at tremendous ease. I actually found Maui's Angels thru Yelp so I thought it would be fitting to leave a review here and hopefully help other couples make the same decision! You won't regret it :)

I should have done this review a long time ago. Lorrie and her team were amazing from the very first phone call to the last day of the wedding. When choosing to do a destination wedding there are a lot of moving parts that need to happen. Lorrie and her team of Angels exceeded every expectation my wife and I ever could have dreamed of. The process was literally flawless on their behalf. Our wedding happened without a hitch and it was not an easy one for Lorrie. What I didn’t mention is that it was a double wedding. Two separate couples having two separate marriage times with a joint reception. Maui Angels Weddings pulled it off perfectly. There was not one missed detail. They had a tough task of pleasing two brides and they made it happen. I can not thank them enough. If you are looking for a destination wedding planner, look no further! I love the relationship I built with this group. Lorrie is forever a part of our lives. Thank you again.

We were extremely lucky to get to work with Ali from Maui's Angels to plan our wedding at the Olowalu Plantation House this past May. We really did our research when choosing our wedding planner and we could not have been happier with our choice! We live in NJ so we knew we had to work with a wedding planner who could accommodate the time difference and us not being able to do the bulk of planning in person. Ali was the wedding planner of our dreams! She is incredibly talented, organized, professional, and just a sweetheart! She went above and beyond to make sure all of our wedding day dreams came true. She helped us personalize our wedding and incorporate all of the design elements we wanted into one cohesive beautiful design (which is not an easy task). She is truly one of the best in the business and you can rest assured every detail will be taken care of when working with her. She thought of details and pointed things out that we would have never considered and that you won't find in a wedding planning book/blog.

The day of coordination went so smoothly that my husband and I did not have to worry or stress about anything the entire day. We were able to fully enjoy ourselves and focus on being present and with our guests knowing Ali and her team had everything taken care of -- this was probably what we are most thankful for. I could go on and on writing but it's safe to say we highly recommend working with Maui's Angels to plan your special day. We are eternally grateful to Ali and Maui's Angels for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!!

Honestly, I can’t quite put into words how amazing this company is. They are so creative, so hard working, so sweet, and just all together really the best group of girls! I had the best most magical wedding in Maui because of all of their hard work, and I feel so lucky to have worked with them! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a wedding planner in Maui!

Andrea and Shouren got married on Jan 6, 2019 at the beautiful Maukalani Estate in Lahaina. Maui Angels were recommended to us by our friends who were very happy with their services last fall. Ali Thorstad took up the challenge of organizing and managing our event that included a Vedic-Hindu Wedding ceremony, a first for the Wedding Planners. We live in Canada, thousands of miles away from the venue, hence we did not know what to expect. Everything from the selection of the Hindu Priest, to the set-up of the venue including the Canopy (mandap), selection of the special wedding garlands and other flower arrangements, was superbly done. The appetizers, meals and the dessert selections were greatly appreciated by all our guests. DJ ‘s contributions, the transportation arrangements and the spectacular venue added to our enjoyment. With the perfect Weather, it turned out to be a magical day that all of us will remember for a very long time. Thanks to Ali, and her Maui Angels team and her Venders- we Highly Recommend!

Ali and Lori from Maui's Angels were AMAZING!! We found them while looking for wedding planners to help with our special day on Maui. We did interview several different planners but seriously over the moon that we decided on Maui's Angels. We cannot imagine our special day turning out as perfect as it was if not for Ali's attention to detail. They had everything set up beautifully, provided wonderful recommendations and really knew all the vendors extremely well.

If I could give 100 stars, I would! Our wedding was absolute perfection and it's all because of Ali at Maui's Angels. We originally had planned on having a wedding in October 2018 with 50 guests and had started the whole process with Ali. She helped us find and secure all the vendors we wanted and helped give us options to stay within budget. Then come August 2017 we decided to move to New York and move up our wedding to October 2017! First we were going to elope just the two of us, but then decided a few days later to have a wedding with just our immediate family. Without hesitation Ali was able to secure almost all of the same vendors on short notice AND our venue! To say she is a miracle worker is an understatement!

Wedding planning can be a very overwhelming process, especially when it's a destination event. Lucky for me I had Ali and her team at Maui's Angels who helped me to carry out the absolute wedding of my dreams. Ali's professionalism, attention to detail, helpfulness, creativity and willingness to go above and beyond made planning our big day one of the very best experiences of my life. I am so in awe of this company and will be forever grateful to have worked with them during this special time!

Without Ali, our wedding ceremony would've taken place in a muddy field. It's a long story, but it's the truth. Thanks to her going above and beyond our expectations, we had the wedding of our dreams, for which we will be forever grateful.
