We came into this process pretty ignorant about what goes into planning a wedding (especially me). The whole team went above and beyond holding our hand and assisting us however they could to help us develop a vision and then make it come to life on the big day. They helped us sort through vendors and choose the ones that best suited us. On the wedding day, they were organized, calm and kept us on schedule and fixed the inevitable problems that arose (most of which we didn’t even know of because they took care of them immediately). On top of the planning, we would definitely recommend I Do Floral as well - we were blown away with the flower arrangements. If you’re going to have a Hawaii wedding, make sure you reach out to I Do!

Jessica and Cindy were absolutely amazing! We hired them for Month-of-Planning and Floral services, and everything turned out perfectly on our wedding day. Thanks to their hard work, I was able to fully immerse myself in the emotions of the day without worrying about logistics or setup. Our wedding was filled with love and joy, and every guest had a wonderful time—so much so that it even inspired some of my younger cousins!

Here are the key areas where IDO Wedding truly stood out during the planning and coordination process:

1. Experience
One of the reasons we chose IDO Wedding was their extensive experience with our venue, Kaimea Estate. Having planners who knew the venue inside and out was invaluable. The estate is stunning, but I can see how challenging it might be to manage everything without familiarity. Jessica and Cindy’s expertise ensured everything ran seamlessly.

2. Communication
Their communication is top-notch. They were incredibly responsive to my questions throughout the planning process, and I appreciated being able to reach them via email, KakaoTalk, and text.

3. Wedding Day Coordination & Flowers
This is where they truly shone. The day-of coordination was flawless, and the flowers were stunning. We chose the Kaimea Estate basic floral package with an upgraded arch arrangement, and everything met our expectations perfectly. The floral designs were beautiful, and their thoughtful rearrangement of the ceremony flowers for the reception added an extra touch of beauty.

One of the reasons that we went with I Do Hawaii Weddings was because we are a Korean/American couple and wanted the planner and coordinator to be someone that could bridge the gap in some wedding customs and be able to assists both sets of guests on the day of. As with the other parts of their day-of-coordination, they did this very well and lived up to the hopes that we had when we first hired them.

Suggestions for Improvement
While we were thrilled overall, there are a couple of areas for growth. We would have appreciated more time for a run-through of the ceremony before the rehearsal—it felt a bit rushed with only 30 minutes allocated at the venue the day before. Additionally, while they were excellent at answering questions, it would have been helpful if they had taken a more proactive approach by offering suggestions without us needing to ask. I'm confident they would have been more proactive with their full planning package, we just had the expectation that more of that proactiveness would also be available with the Month-of-Planning option.

Final Thoughts
Despite these minor points, I’m so glad we hired IDO Wedding as our planners. They brought expertise and organization to our special day, making it a beautiful and memorable experience for everyone involved.

Due to my wife's pregnancy, we needed to plan a wedding in 2 months time and IDO stepped up to the plate. We knew we wanted a wedding in Hawaii and I came across their website, I'm glad I did. Jessica and her team was in constant communication with us and other vendors to make sure everything went smoothly. On the day of the wedding, IDO's team arrived early and stayed through the whole day. While the day was extremely hectic and busy, many guests have told me that everything was beautiful and smooth. Highly recommend hiring them!

I had my wedding back in April this year 2024. Cindy and Jessica were very helpful in the whole wedding planning process. It was helpful during the intake because they ask specific questions to narrow down your search and give you a very easy list of the options for what you are looking for. I do think it would have been a smoother process in the beginning if there was regular communication from the very getgo but it was a little slow as I'm sure they had to prioritize the weddings that were more upcoming. However when it came time closer to our wedding they were definitely very involved in trying to get all details lined up. I had some anxiety with the wedding and whole planning process especially with the weather conditions but there was consistent and constant communication leading up and their advice and suggestions/expertise really helped in making decisions. The day itself was difficult as it was really downpouring right up until the ceremony began but seeing the staff and Cindy and Jessica work so hard for all things to come together was really wonderful and you can tell they really worked hard to make everything come together. Planning a destination is not easy at all and as much of a difficulty it is making decisions, having this team really made it so much easier and you can feel like you can leave it up to them to get everything completed. There were a few hiccups with some items of course that you can expect with all weddings for sure but it was still such an amazing and easy experience that you don't even care about the things that didn't go fully right and just remember the amazing time and the whole wedding that it didn't feel there were any regrets at all. Cindy especially was so good at responses and answering all the nitty gritty that they are such a great team and Jessica really tries to take on the stresses for you so that you're not stressed as the bride. I would recommend if you're looking for a wedding planner as they have a lot encompassing to offer and my wedding turned out absolutely beautiful! Thank you Ido team and Jessica and Cindy especially!!!

We just wanted to take a moment to say a huge Mahalo for all the hard work and dedication I Do put in making our Hawaii wedding a dream come true! From the moment we started planning to the very last toast, they made the wedding go smoothly.

Their attention to detail and calming presence truly made a difference. We couldn't have pulled off such an amazing day without them.

Thank you for making our special day unforgettable. We'll always cherish the memories they helped create.

Choosing Aidoo to get married in Hawaii was a very good decision! They really helped us from wedding preparations to day-of coordination. In particular, the wedding venue setting on the day was so pretty that it made me cry a little. We were very satisfied, and we received a lot of compliments from guests who said our wedding was wonderful and elegant! The weather was perfect and it was a very touching day~~ Thank you again to IDo teachers~~

We strongly recommend I Do Wedding as a wedding planner - we had a pleasant experience and cannot be happier working with Jessica and Cindy.

Background: We are a couple living in PNW, and were looking for a vendor that could help us plan a small wedding in Hawaii . This gives the following requirements, which IDW have perfectly helped us:

Low Cost: We did not want to spend a fortune for a wedding for 8 people. IDW had a very reasonable cost, and most importantly a very clear breakdown of the costs. Note that, despite being a small wedding, reservation for the venue and flowers can be costly, but we were able to save money by not including reception, bar, or food.

Personalization: Even for a small wedding, IDW has provided us with a complete list of items needed for the wedding. This helped us adjust so that every family member had their requests met. IDW has communicated every little detail for us, including arrangement, timing, and emergency scenarios (in case of rain).

Communication: I cannot emphasize more how much we appreciate communication with Cindy and Jessica. They have always responded to us within a day, and have always been kind to us to help accommodate our needs. Their kindness and speedy response is the key reason I’m leaving the review here. In particular, IDW has helped resolve the following key items through multiple email threads without any frustration: hotel recommendations, minimizing cost, flower arrangement, venue condition (it was a new venue), example photos and videos, and weather (there was a storm at our wedding day). Every single one of these items, they were happy to help and talk to us.

Timing: IDW has helped us do a wedding earlier than we thought, they were able to secure a wedding venue that fit our needs for a date within 6 months when we first contacted IDW. Most other wedding planning requires at least a year of wait time.

Day of wedding: Jessica has given us a clear and concise rundown of the wedding for all of us to enjoy. She also gave recommendations to our photographer to make sure we get the best photos.

Overall: Please feel free to shop around, and don’t be scared to reach out to them, they will give you clear available options.

NOTE: For every wedding, you cannot expect the planner to know your taste. You yourself must do your own research on what kind of wedding you would like, while you may definitely ask the planner for recommendations. This is why communication is so important with the planner, which IDW can perfectly help out.

I had my dream wedding in Hawaii thanks to the IDO Wedding team! If you are looking to have the perfect wedding in Hawaii, IDO Wedding is the way to go! My experience with IDO Wedding started eight months before the wedding when my husband and I were looking between different venues. Jessica helped us tour the venue we were most interested in, which was super helpful in making our decision. When we decided on the venue, her Team helped us through the entire planning with clear timelines and details. We communicated via Kakaotalk and her Team was very responsive for all our questions, making the wedding planning experience far from stressful (and we had A LOT of questions). We were very impressed of Jessica's well profound experience and knowledge in wedding planning, she knew all the right vendors and was very transparent with all the details with us. We also had some personal and last minute requests for our wedding and Jessica helped accommodate all of them, which we were super thankful for.

On the day of our wedding, Jessica and her two team members helped the entire day from start to finish - setting up decorations, coordinating with all the vendors, helping with our wedding photography and videography, making sure that everything is going as planned, and clean up. We felt really supported during our entire wedding and was able to enjoy every part of it. Thanks again to Jessica and IDO wedding team for making our dream wedding come true! :)
