"I could not imagine having a wedding without you. Because of your hard work and thoughtful insights, our wedding day was PERFECT. I mean that. I have thought long and hard and there is nothing I would change. You made a "beginning" have fairy tale qualities. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"I am THE PERFECTIONIST OF ALL PERFECTIONISTS". I am also an Interior Designer, so for someone to "get" what I am really thinking and seeing, for myself, is rare.
From the time I chose Marlene Mira, whenever I needed to communicate with her, she was right there! Marlene is artistic and creative and will definitely give you all that you pay for and more. She goes out of her way to make sure that you have the wedding that you always dreamed of. Marlene "got" everything that I imagined, in my head. She had the right minister, the right music, and the flowers, well, they were absolutely perfect. I wish you could see my photos. You can "see the love". She helped to create the surroundings for our love to shine!!
Marlene provided everything....all I did was show up, be a bride and enjoyed our day! I could not have done it better if I had done it myself. She is a true professional and has a great group of professionals that she works with. The greatest thing about Marlene is her heart. It shines through in all that she does. I really feel that she plans every wedding, as if it is her own, and she puts all of her heart and soul and special touches on it!
Weddings are special -- all of them. You can make yours even more touching and memorable by having Marlene Mira doing what she does best: WEDDINGS."

"I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job that you did for our land blessing and wedding ceremonies in April. I have got to commend you on all the wonderful ideas that you came up with. Our caterer was incredible... You were a dream to work with. Thank you, thank you for making our event so special. You did a spectacular job!”

Private Kilauea Estate, Kauai
During the planning:
“…the menu is drool inspiring! We’re into the whole green movement and want things to be environmentally friendly and natural…your ideas and pictures -- that’s exactly the look – clean island elegance. I can really say that I love the planning process. You’re great and you’re making this such a pleasure. I was expecting a nightmare and now I can’t wait to attend my wedding!"
After the wedding:
“Thank you again for the super amazing job – it truly was perfect and we enjoyed every minute!”

"I am an event planner by profession, so I had specific expectations about planning and execution. Marlene is a true partner. She truly cared about us and genuinely desired to create a very special experience for us and our guests. She was thoughtful and always went above and beyond.
One example of her partnership involved our wedding venue, which had never before accommodated a large group of our size (70 people). We did not see the wedding venue in person, but we decided to secure it because Marlene helped us visualize the space with photos and a hand-drawn floor plan. She personally measured the space and then sketched it. This really helped us feel confident about the venue space and also confirmed that Marlene was the right partner to create our very special day.
She took on this challenge with enthusiasm and confidence. We had the ceremony and reception in the same place. This meant we had to move our guests to the beach for a cocktail party while Marlene flipped the space. She managed the tear-down of the ceremony and set-up the dinner reception tables -- including flowers, customized seating cards, table assignments, and menus -- the dance floor and DJ, and the bar in a relatively short period of time. It worked out perfectly!
Marlene did a fabulous job. She thoughtfully planned the details and many logistical implications, and then ensured she had the staff to execute. These are just a couple examples of Marlene's true partnership and willingness to go the extra mile to create a perfect wedding."

"...Selecting Marlene was instant the moment we talked with her for a few minutes. Her demeanor, professionalism and enthusiasm were an instant hook for us. Remember, having someone plan a wedding for you thousands of miles away is a concern since you're not quite sure what you will be getting. What Marlene gave us was something we were not expecting. It was beyond what we could've imagined.
My family at first was a little fearful because we have never met her .... During and at the end, we had nothing but great compliments from family and friends about our wedding. Most said it was the best wedding they attended. Our experience with Marlene left us with lifelong memories and a great friend."
Erika wrote:
"Even though I had not met her, I felt as though I had in another life. It has been a month since the big day, and we are still hearing what a wonderful time everyone had. How organized and amazing everything was...the food and music were among the biggest hits of our wedding. All thanks to Marlene's organization and great suggestions based on our budget.
She just knows what to ask in our first meeting. You don't need to come up with a list of questions and things to do ... trust me, once she knows what you are looking for, she will take care of every detail for you. Prior to talking to other "wedding coordinators" I just didn't get that connection. And being hundreds of miles away, you want to feel like you have someone you can really trust. Marlene gave us simplicity with a touch of personalization, and a friendship at the end. What else could any bride ask for?"

"I will start by saying once we decided to use Marlene, she was never more than a phone call or email away. Any questions I had or if I just needed reassurance or clarification, she was very good at getting back to me very quickly.
Being so far away from Kauai and never have had traveled to Kauai, I wanted someone who was a local and knew the native Hawaiian culture, who had access to areas I was interested in, and just being familiar with Kauai period -- made me feel super confident.
When I spoke with her on the phone many times, she was always very passionate about what the details would be and all of my ideas and ways to bring those ideas to life. She knew the best people as far as photographers, ceremony musicians and DJs. She is a very hard worker and very dedicated to pleasing her clients. She is a great lady and we feel very fortunate to be able to call her our friend now. If and when we travel to Kauai again, we hope to see her."

“…I wanted to find a creative and dependable wedding coordinator. At the time I was working as a bridal consultant in a high-end bridal boutique. Working in the wedding industry I wanted the best wedding coordinator that best fit our needs.
I spoke with several coordinators and was not impressed with their professionalism. I didn’t feel they really cared about my vision and the fact that we needed help in every aspect of our destination wedding. After several disappointing long distance calls, I finally found our savior, Marlene Mira.
As soon as I spoke with her, I knew she was going to be our wedding coordinator. Over nine months of planning our big day she continuously communicated with us via e-mail and by phone with details of the wedding, including an itinerary of our whole vacation. Since we had never been to Kauai, she also helped plan special excursions for not only us, but for our guests.
My husband and I were never worried or hesitant with our wedding plans. We knew we were in great hands with Marlene. When we arrived on Kauai, everything was taken care of and we didn’t need to worry about a thing. All we needed to think about was what beach to relax on!
. . . Marlene made our wedding perfect! Every detail, from the location to the settings on the table, was just as we imagined. We were told our wedding was the best wedding they had ever been to. We owe so much to Marlene for all her hard work and dedication. Marlene will make sure every event she plans is just what her client has imagined. Marlene not only has creative ideas to make your event special, but she is also a great listener and very professional. Johann and I will always have the greatest memories of our wedding in Kauai.”
