First Impression: Impressed – Personable & professional!
Pre-Planning: Stress Free
Coordination: Exceptionally – Very very good! We didn’t’ know about Mark’s drunken friend who was wheel chaired out of the reception until Mark’s step mom mentioned it. Thank you for doing a great job in not making us aware of the situation. Sorry you guys had to deal with him.
Perception: Exceptionally - Perfect!
Referrals: Just what we wanted
Communication: Always – Always!
Personnel: Very Satisfied – Always!
Value: Worth More – A LOT of people who got married right before us told us not to hire a professional planner because it’s so expensive & just have friends & family help us. However, our goal was to not burden family & friends with big wedding tasks because we wanted them to enjoy themselves too! We also felt that a lot of couples get so wrapped up with wedding planning & don’t focus on their relationships & fight throughout the planning process. Our goals were accomplished because of your company doing such a great job! Mark & I do date nite once a week & we were still able to have dates during the wedding planning!
Summary: “We really enjoyed working with all of you! Everybody was calm, positive, & organized! Derek is a nice addition to your company because you rarely see male coordinators. Man power is always good!”
Kelly, Derek, & Julie,
Thank you so much for all your help! We had so much fun on our wedding day! Thank you again for everything! Looking forward to seeing you all around! Take care & Keep in touch! Love, Mark & Kristy

You are worth every penny and more in our opinions – I knew everything would be taken care of + I enjoyed every minute of my engagement & planning period. Your entire staff goes above and beyond the call of duty. They are committed to the couple having the wedding they dreamed of. Working with A Perfect Day was the single best wedding-related decision we ever made, no regrets. We would hire you again in a heartbeat & I highly recommend your services to every bride-to-be I know.”
Dear Kelly,
Words cannot express how thankful & appreciative we are to you and your staff for the hard work and professionalism you put into our Aril 8th wedding. Your dedication made me wonder at times if you were planning your wedding and I was the bystander in it all. Because of you and your staff, the day truly was perfect as if such a word exists when executing a wedding but somehow you really made it happen. Throughout this entire wedding planning process, I never lost sight of my intention & purpose, which was to marry the one I love – I told myself the wedding day is secondary to planning our marriage! I know I told you before too, I never thought I’d hire a wedding coordinator, however, in hindsight I believe that it was the single best decision we made to keep stress to a minimum and enjoy our wedding planning/engagement period fully & completely. Both sets of parents were amazed and impressed with you and yourself and we cannot tell you how many compliments we received on our wedding day. The day exceeded our expectations in everyway possible & we have such fond memories that we will cherish forever. All of the vendors you recommended were stellar & professional & we are happily headed into married life. If there is anything we can do for you in the future please do not hesitate to ask & once again thank you for your hard work, patience, & positive attitude…Hawaii brides are so fortunate to have you!! Love, Kristie & Kyle

Please give Derek a special thank you too.

Value: Worth More – I personally was so pleased and amazed at how attentive all of you were to myself especially and the rest of our entire wedding party and helpers.
Summary: “I think for myself would have to be when we started to take photos & it began to drizzle I thought it was so cute that you folks come w/umbrellas & gave me cover!! To make it short, sweet, simple, & honest…I don’t really think I could have done it all without all of you.”

Derek used shout wipes to clean my heels after pix on grassy lawn! Staff at APD (A Perfect Day) served us wine & beer at the head table & made sure we were all taken care of throughout the evening. Handled “bottleneck” registration lines smoothly and made our guests feel at ease instead of becoming impatient. I was so impressed with the high professionalism of your company! You were so organized and kept a cool demeanor throughout the day.”

Dear Kelly, Nancy, & Derek,
We don’t even know where to start…thank you, thank you, and thank you! You guys are so awesome. Everyone complimented us on how organized our wedding was and how smoothly everything went. Not only did you help us plan our wedding, but we really did get to enjoy the day. Thank you for taking care of the things that I forgot to do (like getting envelopes for the cards.) Kelly, you have created a great company and have put together a strong team, and we know that you will be the most sought after wedding planner in Hawaii. It was a pleasure to work with you guys. Take care and best wishes, Jason & Taryn Shizuru

Hello Kelly, Nancy, & Derek,
Thank you very much for your wonderful and much needed help before and during the wedding. You, Nancy, and Derek have been very organized and professional. We weren't worried at all during the wedding day (well, except worrying about tripping over during our dance!). It was a pleasure having you guys as our wedding coordinators.

First Impression: Right from the start of our wedding plans, Kelly was prepared and on-time. Our first impression was that she was well organized and appeared professional in terms of her approach and attitude towards wedding planning.
Pre-Planning: The pre-planning process was smooth and very comfortable, especially utilizing the pre-planning forms helped facilitate this process. I would highly recommend these forms to better recognize any unforeseen areas which may be overlooked.
Coordination: The wedding coordination Kelly and Derek provided was exceptional and to be highly commended. There is no better feeling for the wedding couple to be stress-free and unworried of how your wedding day will turn out. Kelly and Derek provided this stress-free atmosphere through the entire day including the reception. We were very impressed how they handled each situation professionally and continued to detour any problems or stress away from the wedding couple, which we were grateful for, which made our wedding day that much more special and enjoyable.
Perception: We feel that Kelly and Derek handled themselves and represented us (the wedding couple) in a very professional and exceptional manner, especially during the wedding ceremony and reception, when certain situations were presented and they handled them quickly and without raising an eyebrow. We were proud to have Kelly and Derek as our wedding coordinators.
Referrals: The referrals that Kelly recommended were just what we wanted and what the doctor ordered. We were very impressed with our Florist (Joyce of Roses are Red) that Kelly recommended and feel that she went beyond our expectations for the ceremony, reception, ladies and gentlemen’s flowers, and the extra flowers needed for out-of-town guests and rose-shower. Kelly has a variety of choices and the very best in referrals which helped in the planning of our wedding.
Communication: The communication between Kelly and the wedding couple was exceptional and always in timely fashion. Through email and phone calls, communication was free-flowing and never an issue due to Kelly’s response time and tremendous respect towards the wedding couple. Any questions or concerns were immediately dealt with and handled quickly and efficiently.
Personnel: Kelly’s demeanor was very professional and always in respect of her wedding couple. She provided the very best wedding service my wife and I could have asked for and was very accommodating and open to meeting us any time on any day for meetings with vendors, taste-testing, or just last minute detail meetings for clarifications.
Value: The services Kelly provided went beyond and were worth more than my wife or I could have ever asked for. Kelly was there for every aspect of our wedding plans, incorporating our ideas into reality and truly making our wedding a very special day. Her knowledge and skills in wedding planning were exemplified on our wedding day which showed in the couples expressions of appreciation. Kelly is worth more than she charges for her services in wedding coordinating, which will only increase her value and demand. However, beyond her value of her services we felt she truly enjoys her career and loves interacting with wedding couples, which is just as valuable.
Summary: “First, I would like to personally thank Kelly for coordinating our wedding and truly making that day such a blessing, beautiful, and memorable day. I would also like to mention that we are both very thankful for Kelly always thinking of her wedding couple first, even prior to her own personal unexpected events, which we believe sets Kelly apart from many other wedding coordinators. I would highly recommend Kelly and her staff for any wedding event or party and we plan to utilize and refer her services to any persons whom seek suggestions for such services.”
Kelly,
Thank you so much for being our wedding coordinator. You have been so great with everything and so very patient with us. We had hired you to run our rehearsal and wedding, but it seems that you have gone way up and beyond our expectations. I hope to convince my sister to use your services if she ever gets married. Again thank you for your expertise and support.

Dear Kelly,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you've done for us. You made our day a wonderful, wonderful day to remember. You are very good at what you do. You are organized to the end and you pay attention to detail. These days it's very difficult to find someone with your dedication, detail, and care. I just wanted to share with you that the reason I selected you and your company to handle my wedding plans was your eagerness to accommodate and the pleasure it brought you was clearly expressed in your voice. Your famous words were "not a problem". In my work everyday it is some type of problem and it was nice to hear someone say "not a problem". Your profession is a hard one and very demanding so dig your heals in for the long haul...Please extend a big warm hug and kiss to Amy and Derek. They both are so special.
