Using modern elopement was the best wedding decision my husband and I made. Their team is by far the best! Nicole was in constant contact with us. She took the time to ensure our wedding day would include everything we wanted and more. She helped give us the best suggestions for our added embellishments. The day and night of our wedding could not have gone more smoothly. It was truly THE BEST night of our lives! I could go on and on about how amazing the modern elopement team is. If you are looking for a planner stop what you’re doing and hire them already! More...

We loved our Modern Elopement! When our wedding venue accommodations in Wisconsin went out of business, my fiance and I decided to elope to Hawaii and we're so happy we did! It was just the two of us, but we still wanted our wedding to be a special experience to enjoy and cherish. Nicole of Modern Elopement made our day incredible. She took care of everything... the officiant, the flowers, the setting, the music, and the photographer were all amazing. We gave her a little direction of what we wanted in advance and then we simply showed up to our dream ceremony. Best part was that Nicole immediately felt like a friend. If you're getting married or eloping in Hawaii, hire Modern Elopement and don't look back! More...

Where to begin...just do it! As in, book Modern Elopement if you want the most perfect intimate ceremony and best day of your lives in Hawaii! From the first inquiry, to the multiple choice wedding planning guide (hello easy!!), to the whole day coming to fruition above our wildest dreams...thank you thank you ME. Nicole was our amazing wedding concierge and I felt like we were best friends when we met (moments before I walked down the aisle) who had been sending each other emails for months! She is a natural at her job and I just felt like “she had us!” I didn’t need to worry at all because she handled Every. Single. Detail. So we could just enjoy it ALL. I truly keep reliving our day over and over and being overwhelmed at how it all unfolded better than I could’ve ever imagined. The options and vendors they have for you to choose from are the BEST on the island so you cannot go wrong. The locations are beyond. Our perfect day was worth every single penny and I’m so happy we trusted ME to make it happen! More...

Working with Modern Elopment was the best decision we could have ever made when planning our wedding!

Finny and I knew we wanted a small, intimate wedding on Kauai with our closest family and friends. ME was able to provide the beautiful, intimate experience we were looking for and truly brought our vision to life - actually even better than we imagined!

From the very start Kayleigh and Nicole put us at ease and eliminated any stress from the planning. The design packages were gorgeous and we were able to pick one that felt like us, while also adding embellishments to add our own personal details.

There was constant assurance that everything would be perfect... and it was! Kayleigh and Nicole were amazing leading up to our wedding and Nicole made everything flow effortlessly on the day of. We cannot thank you enough for helping us create our dream wedding!

This is really the easiest way to get married - there's a few items they'll need your input on, but for the stress-free bride, this is the experience you're looking for. Not to mention, these have to be a collection of the most stunning weddings put together on the Hawaiian islands. The coordinator I worked with, Kayleigh, is absolutely amazing as well. She's a total ray of sunshine and she thinks of EVERYTHING! She had pins for my hair and lipstick for touch up before my dinner and after photos (I was a mess after our photos). I was blown away by this small gesture! Every vendor you meet / work with / whose work you see is really ridiculously talented and fantastic at what they do. If I had known how everything would have been 100% perfect the day of, I would have relaxed a little more ;) Not to mention how crazy affordable the whole experience really is compared to what you'd pay for a wedding of the same quality on your own. Seriously, my husband and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Kayleigh and Modern Elopement! More...

If you're thinking about eloping in Hawaii, like we did in November 2018, I would highly recommend working with Modern Elopement/Moana Events. We did most of our planning from Boston, MA, with a 6 hour time difference. Our coordinator, Kayleigh, was Amazing!!! Super responsive to our emails and flexible with times to call her. She did everything for us and was so easy to work with. The team of vendors ME works with is Awesome!! From the venue we wanted, the minister, the photographer (Christie Pham), hair and makeup (Cheryl Hazelgrove), the music, the travel agent, she even organized transportation and a private dinner. We truly had the dream team and the dream wedding in Oahu. Everything was exactly as she said it would be, all we had to do was show up. :) More...

What can I say about a day that went *perfectly?* I am so, so happy I chose Modern Elopement for my "elopement" (read I my case, wedding) and would do it all over again in a heartbeat. After booking the package I decided that I wanted a more traditional wedding reception and so arranged for one on my own, and Kayleigh helped me blend the separate events seamlessly. Being an artsy person with a limited budget I also DIY'd a few of my own elements like place cards and a wedding sign and her team incorporated them flawlessly. She's always available to answer questions (albeit sometimes not immediately!). Overall Kayleigh took care of our every need, from working with a guest count from two different cultures that was larger than most, to having the ceremony blend seamlessly with my separate reception. On the day of I was so relieved when I met her and Nicole in person and left it all to them. We were so happy with their vendors who honestly represent the best of the best that the islands have to offer- from the flowers to the officiant to the music. If you're looking for a destination wedding in Hawaii for a group of less than 25, do yourself a favor and look no further. More...

Modern Elopement was such a great choice for my husband and I. They offered a stylish, timeless, and stress free option to traditional weddings. I enjoyed working with Kayleigh and her team. During the few months before my wedding, the team was sure to check in and help with my choices and confirm details. The day of, the team was ready and coordinated everything which allowed for the day to go seamless.

The only negative feedback I would have to offer is that the team was often confused when we asked about add ons. I could never get an easy or straight forward answer. However, I would still recommend Modern Elopement for any bride who has an eye for style but wishes for the ease of a more intimate affair.

Kayleigh helped us throughout the entire process. She is really sweet, responsive, organized, and VERY good at what she does.

They do a great job at keeping things simple and streamlined yet beautiful and personal. The flower arrangements that Passion Roots made beyond exceeded our expectations and were breathtaking.

We were both based in Japan while organising the wedding and were nervous on how to organise an overseas wedding, our minds were quickly put to ease as Moana Events provided a number of options and started supporting us in putting a plan together.

The wedding day was a resounding success, their vendors, set up, support of bilingual guests (Japanese) and location (Dillingham Ranch) were spectacular and we had an unforgettable day.

Modern Elopement was amazing. My husband and I were looking to do something intimate and cost effective without sacrificing style. Kayleigh helped us throughout the whole process and we could not have asked for a better experience. Most elopement packages are cheesy so when I found modern elopement online I knew they were the right fit. We had the ceremony at Na ‘Aina Kai Botanical Gardens in Kauai in the forest area which was magical. Our photos were done by June which came out beautifully and she was so fun and made us feel comfortable. We ended the night with Dinner at the St Regis and was the best wedding dinner/meal I've ever had. Though it is a package deal they do offer areas in which you can customize, but it does cost more. We spent more than other package deals that we were looking at in the area, but we definitely got what we paid for and it was still a 1/4 of the price of a larger wedding. If you are contemplating going with modern elopement, do it, you will not be disappointed. More...

The ladies at Modern Elopement put me at ease from our first phone conversation. Living in TX but dreaming of a Hawaiian wedding, planning was getting VERY difficult and I almost gave up until I stumbled upon one of their weddings on Pinterest. Not only did they work with AMAZING vendors, they are so flexible to make the day 100% YOURS. They have the process down to a science (but a fun science) of options for you to choose from that are all beautiful! The Elopement package doesn't just have to be for you and your hubby - you can also have an intimate number of guests which is exactly what we were looking for. My favorite thing about ME was the ladies were honest and very knowledgeable about the Islands and did not try to up-sell us at all! They will plan any add-ons to your ceremony that you could possibly desire but also suggested lots of great ideas for dinner & outings at no charge. Once arriving on the Islands, I wasn't even stressed because the team had been so great at communicating with emails/calls/pictures/etc. that I had full trust that the wedding day would be amazing and it was.

We found Modern Elopement last year through Google. We read their reviews and we were instantly given a feeling of security that we would be looked after with all our needs, especially after we spoke to Morgan.

As we began our planning stages, the process was made easy and detailed which put us at ease considering we didn't have the luxury of visiting the sites physically. We had to put our full trust in our wedding concierge Jennifer and she didn't let us down.

When we arrived in Hawaii for the big day we had a sense of excitement to see how our many months of planning would come together. We continually astounded by the level of elegance from the private limousine who transported our wedding party and guest to the wedding venue, once arriving at the venue the small unmistakable finishing touches is what blew us away from the cold refreshments to the harpist playing our song all of these little moments have made our wedding day an unforgettable experience far exceeding our wildest expectations.
