This review is loooooong overdue as we got married in Maui in November 2021, but the best advice I can give is BOOK SANDRA! I am a professional event planner and had extremely high expectations for our perfect day. Sandra exceeded every expectation, tenfold and made our day so magical, that all we had to do was be in the moment and enjoy every minute.
She took every phone call, text, email, request, etc. that we had during the planning and was always willing to work with us and offer advice or recommendations to make our dreams come true within our budget. Additionally, planning a destination in the middle of Covid was no small task, and she always kept us informed and stayed on top of all the regulations.
Everyone asks me “what went wrong on your wedding day?” and my answer is always “nothing” because Sandra and her team truly are incredible and executed every single detail flawlessly. Not only did they cater to our needs (Bride and Groom) but made sure our family and friends had the best time and that we stuck to our timeline to ensure the best experience for us and our guests.
I could go on and on about Sandra and her team, but the moral of the story is...she is the best of the best and I would hire her for any event on Maui! Sandra and her team are an integral part of our magical memories of our wedding day and I hope you all get to experience that as well!”

“We met with a few wedding planners on Maui before selecting Sandra and her team at A Maui Wedding Day. A Maui Wedding Day works with excellent vendors on the island and we were thrilled with all of them. We were very attentive to the budget. Sandra was willing to work with us to be sure we were spending money on the details that were important to us. Overall it really was the best day and our guests raved about the reception...the tropical flowers, the delicious food, the gorgeous venue and the fun DJ. We would definitely recommend A Maui Wedding Day! Thanks Sandra!”

“Sandra was awesome!! She listened to our long list of requirements and tried her best to ensure everything was as we wanted and more. She was very friendly and accommodating. Scheduling calls with her was super easy and she was very open to a lot of our last-minute changes. Sandra was kind enough to receive a lot of packages on our behalf and store them properly for us. We also had two events before the wedding day (typical Indian wedding) which we invited her to and she not only showed up with a colleague but they also helped out a lot with setting up everything and helping out anywhere possible. She is a real professional and working with her was a pleasure! We highly recommend her and the team of A Maui Wedding Day!”

“Sandra is amazing, she helped us plan a wedding from thousands of miles away that went off without a hitch despite some weather at the last minute. Sandra is an exceptional listener and helped us bring our vision to life. Stress was really minimized during our planning phase, which not everyone can say. Sandra helped us create memories that will stick with us for the rest of our lives, and for that, we are eternally grateful. Nothing better could be said about a wedding planner.”

“The day went so perfectly and I felt completely at ease. There was honestly nothing I could fault. Also - she’s incredibly eco-friendly which my husband and I are so passionate about. A million thank you’s, Sandra”

“A Maui Wedding Day was Amazing!
Sandra and the A Maui Wedding Day team were amazing throughout the wedding planning process and day of our wedding. We had a wedding at Olowalu Plantation House with about 45 guests. I went in to the process already having picked our venue, caterer, and photographer, and a general idea of what I wanted for the vibe of the wedding however Sandra and her team made my vision (& Pinterest boards) come to life. I had never walked through our venue until our wedding weekend but trusted Sandra would make our day beautiful. Our wedding was everything we imagined and more from the uniquely curated flower arrangements that perfectly matched my vision, table settings/set ups, layout, and fun flow of the evening. Sandra was frequently available to chat on the phone or through email to discuss wedding details throughout the planning and design process. Sandra was incredibly easy to work with and was able to accommodate all of our indecisiveness and last minute requests. From the moment we got to Maui she met with us and assisted us to ensure we would have a fun and stress free wedding weekend. Our actual wedding day flowed seamlessly from ceremony to cocktail hour, to dinner/reception-we had a great time and so did our guests.”

“Oh my gosh, we cannot tell you how impressive Sandra and her team are!! Obviously, this is our first (and only!) wedding and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. 12/10 would recommend not only a wedding coordinator but also A Maui Wedding Day! Sandra has the best team around her and knows the most excellent vendors. The day went off without a hitch!!! Everyone commented on the flowers, the catering, and the extra little touches that Sandra and her team put together. We’re truly blown away by the expertise of A Maui Wedding Day and wish that everyone can use them!!!”

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sandra as a wedding coordinator. Our wedding day turned out amazingly, with Sandra taking care of all the little details (setup, taking down, packing up our stuff for us, etc). I gave Sandra some images/Pinterest boards of what my vision was and she made great vendor introductions and helped deliver exactly what I wanted. Sandra and her team have a very calm and cool demeanor which is exactly what you want on the wedding day! You can tell they’ve done this a million times. Every vendor I spoke to during our planning also said Sandra is one of the best on the island. One thing I would recommend - definitely take advantage of Sandra’s policy that you can schedule a call with her at any time! I assume Sandra gets bogged down with emails from all over the place, so the best way to get quick answers is to take advantage of speaking by phone (if you’re planning a destination wedding like we were). We had absolutely no stress or worries on the wedding day and were truly able to enjoy ourselves thanks to Sandra and her team.”

“Amazing Wedding Experience
Sandra is everything you could want in a wedding planner!!! She has great ideas, she is patient, and she has such a nice and calming presence that puts you right at ease. We visited with many Maui-based Wedding planners and Sandra shined so bright, she was the obvious choice for us! Early in our planning, we had our chosen venue double their prices that was more than we could afford. Sandra helped us find an equally beautiful venue that fell within our price range! Planning a destination wedding can be really difficult but Sandra happily accommodated us with countless 1:1 phone calls where we could plan out every detail! We also had an opportunity to visit Maui for on a wedding planning trip! During our visit, Sandra made sure we could meet with all of our vendors face to face. We knew she was connected with the best of vendors but after that trip, we were so confined in all of our selections and it was abundantly clear how respected Sandra was on the island! On our wedding day, Sandra’a team created such a beautiful space! Every detail of the wedding went seamlessly and according to plan! She, along with Joanna, we’re the perfect wedding day coordinators. In addition to that great duo, Sandra also provided us with a day-of wedding specialist, Courtney! Courtney was an absolute gem! She was prompt, prepared, and calm! She made our day go so smoothly and we always felt very taken care of whenever she was around! Kudos to Sandra and her whole team of wedding warriors! We couldn’t imagine a better team for the most special day of our lives!!! Thank you!!”

“I first was drawn to a Maui wedding day when I was googling coordinators in the Maui area and I loved their website. I reached out to a few of the websites and when I got a response from Sandra, it was so warm and welcoming that I knew right away that A Maui wedding day was right up my alley. I am from Vancouver Canada so Sandra’s openness and willingness to provide her suggestions and recommendations were instrumental in making my wedding experience stress free. I truly enjoyed my evening and never once wondered about anything going on. The entire event went off without a glitch! My guests had a great time and it was a day I will never forget. I will say as well I had a bunch of kids at my wedding and I never thought to have an area for them to help keep them entertained. Sandra recognized how amazing a kids’ table would be and took it upon herself to bring some extra coloring materials, colored piping, and beads! By the end of the night, I had many necklaces and crowns thanks to those kids and Sandra’s ahhhhmazing ideas. Also, we had several flower arrangements that were stunning and made by a local florist. Offhandedly, my mom, Sandra, and I were talking at the reception and it was mentioned that it was a shame we couldn’t take the flowers home and that they would end up being discarded. Sandra suggested ( with zero pushiness whatsoever ) that we could donate them to some of the local hospices in the surrounding area and that she would personally make the deliveries and ensure the flowers were reloved. This gesture warmed my heart beyond explanation and I am so grateful I had someone so thoughtful as a part of my day. I would highly recommend a Maui Wedding Day and wish to repeat my heartfelt thanks for making our wedding day exceptional.”

“We used Sandra to plan a four-day wedding event. She and her wonderful team executed everything perfectly. Sandra is a very kind person and is super easy to work with. In fact, her whole team is really kind. It was very easy to set up meetings and communicate with her. Sandra is very well connected so even if you set the bar high, she knows how to make your vision a reality. She knows the best vendors for everything. She also planned a welcome dinner and a pre-wedding dinner for us. Both events were at beautiful outdoor venues that we had never heard of. It was a nice surprise for all of our guests and a great way to start the wedding festivities. She even added some small details that we hadn’t thought of. And then there was the actual wedding, which we will remember for the rest of our lives. Countless people told us it was the most beautiful wedding they’ve been to. It even impressed my parents. Everything from the food to the music to the flowers was amazing. It was a beautiful venue, but we were so blown away by the flowers that that’s what we always talk about first. That was probably the most beautiful dinner we will ever have in our entire lives. Thank you for making our dream wedding come true!!!”

“Stress free and perfect wedding
A Maui Wedding Day was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning of our wedding. Sandra was extremely kind and calm, easy to contact and offered a range of choice for each vendor to ensure she was able to capture our day exactly as we wished. I did not become stressed in the lead up or during the event and that is because A Maui Wedding Day was able to take care of everything, without Sandra this would not have been possible. We were able to be fully present during our wedding which we are so grateful for. All the details were perfect and we really truly enjoyed the day. I highly recommend using A Maui Wedding Day to plan your day.”

“The peace of mind they provided was priceless!
Sandra and her professional team at A Maui Wedding Day were amazing to work with to plan our wedding in Kapalua. We live on Maui and she helped us plan a truly memorable event to share with our friends and family. Sandra was patient, kind, and a good listener and communicator and took a lot of the pressure off and anticipated our needs. She kept us on track without ever being pushy. We highly recommend A Maui Wedding Day.”

“Sandra and her team did a fantastic job planning our wedding. She was able to find great vendors for all our needs and together they helped create an amazing wedding day. Kate was our onsite coordinator and was beyond incredible. She helped make sure everything went smoothly in the days leading up to and the day of our wedding. Both Sandra and Kate provided excellent communication and service from start to finish. They provided in comfort and support in knowing they had all the details covered. We couldn’t have done this without them and highly recommend A Maui Wedding Day!”

“Sandra and Joanna were AMAZING. Planned our wedding in 3 months and knew we needed a day of coordinator. We messaged Sandra and she got back to us in a timely manner. She arranged a couple meetings with us and was able to execute such a perfect timeline and she was so helpful from beginning to end, she exceeded our expectations. Her calm and polite demeanor really made this wedding so smooth and easy going for us. We loved everything about our wedding and we are so grateful for her team. Highly recommend Sandra, she is a superwoman she can help you with any questions and she has so much experience and a great relationship with other vendors that she made this wedding so perfect for us. Thank you Sandra and Joanna!”

“Sandra and her team were absolutely amazing with bringing the visions of our wedding day to life. My wife Cristal and I could not have been any happier with their planning and execution. Sandra was incredibly helpful and patient with us throughout the entire process and her and her team brought everything together PERFECTLY. We HIGHLY recommend Sandra Wagner and her “A Maui Wedding Day” team for all wedding planning needs. They are incredibly trustworthy for every detail for your big day. We are truly thankful for all they have done. Mahalo!!”

“We loved working with Sandra and her team throughout our wedding planning process! Sandra made every step of the way feel seamless and manageable — from planning to meeting with vendors to the execution! She is very well-connected with many vendors across Maui, which was helpful because we weren’t entirely sure where to start. It’s evident that Sandra and her team are well-seasoned and have years of experience under their belt; every question we asked was met with a prompt and thorough answer, and she would often give us new ideas to consider, too. Beyond being a supportive guide and calming presence while we planned our wedding, Sandra also assumed every role she needed to make the day run smoothly. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the festivities presently because we knew Sandra would ensure our vision came to life. Before we walked down the aisle, Sandra fine-tuned all the details, flower arrangements, and decor—everything came together even more beautifully than we could have imagined! We are so grateful for all of Sandra’s diligent work and expertise. If you are getting married on Maui, we would absolutely recommend Sandra and her team. We are so grateful that we only have positive memories to reflect on, and we will cherish those beautiful moments forever!”

“Whatever it is, how you tell your story online can make all the difference. If you’re in need of a wedding planner/day of coordinator, Sandra is the person you need!! I kept telling her throughout the process that she was my angel during all of the wedding planning because she was so calm and had everything handled at all times. So friendly, kind, and on top of things. She knew exactly which vendors to use, was always available to answer any questions, and was so encouraging through it all! The wedding turned out so beautifully and the entire experience was low stress, thanks to her!”
