Sunny and her team made our wedding planning experience a really happy one from start to finish. We got married in October 2025 on Halekulani’s lawn, and it was everything we hoped for—the setting was stunning, and the whole day felt smooth, warm, and well put together. Sunny is patient, professional, and genuinely caring. During the planning stage we were busy and occasionally forgot to get back to her, but she handled it with such grace. She kept us organized with friendly, timely check-ins and made sure every detail stayed on track. It truly felt like she was looking after our wedding as if it were her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind. On the day itself, Sunny and the staff were attentive, calm, and wonderfully coordinated—managing the timeline, set-up, and transitions so we could simply be present and enjoy the moment with our guests. We’re very grateful for their support and would wholeheartedly recommend Sunny and the Halekulani team to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and a planner who truly cares.
Sunny is an exemplary and highly recommended wedding planner!! We purchased her full service package one year before our wedding date and it was the best decision ever! Her diverse background in culture and knowledge in finance captivated our attention 🙂 When my fiancé (now husband) and I started our wedding planning journey, we had so many questions because we did not attend many weddings prior to getting married. Sunny has an amicable nature, she was always patient and we greatly appreciated her availability to answer all of our questions via chat, email or a phone call; she created a safe environment for us and never judged us (even when we asked what felt like silly questions). She is detail-oriented (from planning to creating a harmonious atmosphere with our venue and decorations and bringing our vision to life!) and very organized; she provided us with a spreadsheet to fill out, gave us timeline suggestions on when to book our vendors, scheduled a phone call for us to discuss further details about our wedding venue, completed a final walkthrough of our venue site with us, created a simple timeline from a busy agenda, and much more! We have received many compliments from our guests about the ambience of our wedding day! Sunny supports small, local businesses and found a perfect group of vendors for our wedding based on our budget. It is really admirable to see the aloha spirit in action! There are many moving parts and a rollercoaster of emotions when it comes to planning a wedding, but Sunny’s unwavering support placed our minds at ease and made the whole process stress-free. Sunny truly goes above and beyond for each of her clients! She practiced the wedding rehearsal with us, our parents, and our wedding party and gave me suggestions on how to improve our kiss-and-dip. Sunny fluffed my train prior to walking down the aisle when one of my bridesmaids forgot. She let us borrow her umbrella for our outdoor pictures and escorted the groom, the bride, our parents, and the wedding party for our line-up because it was a rainy day at our wedding. Sunny noticed that our guest book was missing a picture of us on the front cover. Prior to our grand entrance, she used our Polaroid camera to take a beautiful picture of us and placed our picture on the front cover. Sunny took care of countless behind-the-scenes details diligently and efficiently at our wedding, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy the special moment ☺️ At the end of the night, she packed all of our decorations neatly into boxes and helped transport these boxes to our cars. It was such a delightful pleasure working with Sunny, a wedding planner who genuinely cares about her clients, someone who pours her heart and soul into each client’s vision to create a cherished and memorable experience! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for everything, Sunny! ❤️
Where do I start… I would say if you’re struggling to decide who to choose as a wedding planner, stop thinking and go with Sunny because you will not regret it. Here’s the summary of my experience with Sunny: - Here work is seamless and she’s so attentive. And I’m pretty sure she does more than she’s paid to do…. This, I heard even from someone she works with. When I was getting my makeup and hair done by a stylist, she actually told me Sunny is quite exceptional. She said most wedding planners don’t go to the extent Sunny does to take care of their clients and oftentimes clients can end up taking care of their wedding in so many ways. She told me Sunny truly goes above and beyond to make sure she does all the work so her clients don’t have to. - She is so knowledgeable about weddings. It was my first wedding, but I did research on my own and thought I could potentially plan a wedding on my own. I was wrong! For those planing a wedding in Hawaii as a destination wedding especially, I personally wouldn’t recommend companies that offer packages because they don’t always include everything and you can also end up being asked to pay additional costs to add things if they’re not a part of the package. Or they might not even offer things you want… As Sunny told me, many hotels offer ceremony packages, and hotel packages are fine, but they ask that you have a wedding coordinator. - She knows great vendors, and this is so important! Flowers, venues, food, hair and makeup, music, wedding officiant, photographers, and a videographer… They were all SO wonderful 💓 I know “wedding magic” and “Hawaii magic” exist, but thanks to Sunny who recommended them, I’ll never forget this day ☺️. When I read posts from other brides, I do read about many stories where something goes wrong, but in my case everything went as I wanted and planned, and the guests loved it all too!! - She is speedy! I had my wedding in the summer when it is a peak wedding season, but she never falls behind. If you contact her, she gets back to you immediately and after she consults you about your vision and budget, she starts the process for you asap so you don’t need to keep waiting restlessly about what’s happening next or when the planner will get back to you. - Bonus! She’s trilingual. So if you ever want a wedding planner who can communicate with your or your guests in Japanese or Korean besides English, yup, you found the one. Again, if you’re still thinking about who to go with, just contact her 😊.
A Dream Come True – Thank You for Making Our Day Perfect! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sunny and her company One & Only Events! From the very first consultation to the final moments of our wedding day, she went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Sunny is not just a planner; she is a true artist in the way she brings together every element of a wedding – from the décor to the timeline, and everything in between. Sunny and her team were incredibly organized, attentive, and always ready to offer expert advice when we needed it. We had a vision for our day, and she brought it to life in a way we could never have imagined. Sunny made our lives so easy planning our destination wedding in Hawaii! Not only did Sunny handle all the logistics seamlessly, but she also kept us calm and stress-free throughout the entire planning process. We truly felt like we were in great hands. On the wedding day itself, we were able to fully enjoy the moment, knowing that everything was under control. The day ran like clockwork, and the atmosphere was absolutely magical! We are so grateful for all the hard work, dedication, and care that Sunny put into making our wedding day unforgettable.

I am so grateful to Sunny for her expertise, knowledge, and commitment to my big day! I gave her my inspiration for the wedding, and she executed it the way I wanted it on the day of. She literally held my hand and gave me all her resources when things went a little crazy during wedding planning. She is also quick to answer back to a text and email and never makes you feel like you are an inconvenience. She took care of all the 20 vendors I had on the day of the wedding and made sure everyone did their part. Sunny is organized, caring, and goes above and beyond for all her clients. We can attest to her great work, and we cannot recommend her enough to future couples who want to get married on Oahu. We appreciate Sunny so much and we hope that others can work with her and receive the great care she extends to her clients.
