Aloha Ellena! "We cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding absolutely perfect! I was so nervous about planning a destination wedding in a place I had never been to and trusting someone I had never met to care as much as I did about my wedding. I could not have picked a better person. You were fantastic. You were patient even when I was frantic. You thought of every detail and pulled it all together perfectly. The location (on the beach between Papakea Resort and Ka'anapali Shores), the flowers on the beach, my bouquet, and the cake were all so beautiful, everyone involved was so wonderful, the pictures were gorgeous, and the video moved us to tears! Everyone who attended our wedding said it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. We absolutely loved our wedding and would not have changed a thing. We hope that everyone who is considering a wedding on Maui will find you, because we know now that you really can make dreams come true!" Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa! Ellena & Staff, We would truly like to thank you for all your help in planning our special day. You made what some call "totally nerving racking" day into a relaxing and beautiful night; everything ran so smoothly. It was an amazing night! I highly recommend anyone to inquire about your services; everything was wonderful! (I still have people tell me how beautiful my flowers were.) Thank you again! Me Kealoha Pumehana, Dear Ellena, "We wanted to thank you for your services for our 30th Anniversary Vow Renewal. The service was really touching in meaning and reflected our marriage commitment perfectly. The fact that you provided a copy of the words to us really brought it to life when we got home! The officiant was so sincere and interesting to listen to. It was very emotional at the time and it is nice to be able to reread them any time we wish. The photographer was very creative and took wonderful photos to commemorate the renewal on the beach. It was a great idea to be able to purchase the extra photos beyond the Red Ginger package. Our family loved them since they were not there to witness the ceremony. Thank you for coordinating our vow renewal on a long distance basis. We were at a loss as to where to begin the effort. KBH recommended your services and we took the plunge of faith and contacted you, not knowing how things would work. You are a professional with the correct professionals to back you up to carry out the service via long distance (New Jersey to Hawaii) and we would recommend your services to anyone else who wishes to renew their vows in Hawaii. Thank you again for the beautiful memories and hope we can do it again for our 50th!" Chip and Pam McFadden, Ellena, "Aloha! We are back in L.A. and currently going through Maui withdrawals. We are enjoying the memories of our ceremony on the Kaanapali Beach and the dinner following at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel. Ellena, Thank you so very much for coordinating our wedding for us. Who'd ever think that planning a wedding could be so easy and stress-free? Any worries I had about having a destination wedding were put to rest with the first telephone call to you! Your suggestions of where to hold the ceremony and dinner after were most helpful and in the end perfect for us. We also appreciated being able to create our own wedding package ala carte and being able to personalize the script for the ceremony. Ellena, you carried out everything we planned with perfection! Our families commented on how very nice and helpful it was to have you on site for the wedding. Everyone really liked the minister who performed our ceremony! It was always reassuring to know that if I called with any question or concern that you were available and would return my call if I needed to leave a message. We also appreciated your suggestion of attending the Old Lahaina Luau and for giving me the information necessary to make it happen for our families two nights before the wedding. Everyone raved about it Ellena, Thank you again for all that you did to make our wedding and stay in Maui so special for us! I highly recommend A Maui Tropical Wedding for anyone wanting to get married in Maui." Sincerely, Ellena, "We want to thank you for making planning a wedding across country so easy. From the moment I spoke with you on the phone I felt confident that you would take care of everything. I loved that you called periodically to check on details, it helped reassure me that you really cared about our wedding. You made everything so easy like the marriage license appointment. I loved that we just showed up and you had taken care of everything. We loved our officiant, the beach setting, the flowers, the cake, and the photographs. We were especially pleased that we had our photos in our hands just two days after the wedding. We were so excited to take them home with us to show our friends and family our perfect wedding. We couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding and we thank you for making it possible." Aloha and Mahalo, Dear Ellena, "I just wanted to say thank you for setting up our beautiful wedding in July. It was perfect! The minister was wonderful, the cake was delicious, and I loved my bouquet! I was worried since we were traveling to Maui and we had never met you, that things might not be as I wanted. Much to my delight however, we came to the hotel lobby at the appointed time and everything was ready for us!! The pictures also turned out wonderfully! Thank you again for such a special ceremony!" Carla Davies Hi Ellena "I wanted to give you’re another hi five for the wonderful job you did on our wedding. All the venders you brought on board for this occasion were perfect for the kind of wedding we had. It was the casual beach setting with a touch of elegance. Kind of a beach blanket bingo meets breakfast at Tiffany's. We loved that the DJ was so flexible as we had a lot of people who wanted to talk. You were easy to work with , thanks again........" Mr. & Mrs. Clint Coon Hi Ellena! "Lori & I want to thank you for a wonderful wedding! The pictures are terrific, and so is the video. Our beautiful ceremony is going to be in our memories for a long, long time. When we renew our vows, we will be contacting you for another wonderful event..." Mahalo! Take care, Aloha Ellena, "We wanted to thank you for planning such a perfect wedding for us! We were so pleased with how everything came out; flowers, photos, video, even the weather was perfect! You made it so easy for us to have our dream wedding, and we loved working with you. Mahalo!" Sincerely, Hi Ellena, "Just a note to thank you for all your work in giving us the wedding we dreamed of in Maui. Your commitment to us in assuring our wedding would be unforgettable came true. The photos, the music and our minister was the best anyone could ever have. We were so happy with your services that as of today, were still talking about you and our wedding like it was yesterday. I want you to know that our wedding and our dreams in Maui are forever in our hearts. Thank you for everything Ellena." Your truly the best, Ellena, "We just wanted to thank you for everything you did for our wedding. It was everything I wanted and more! The photographer you recommended was awesome, the hair stylist was great, the flowers turned out gorgeous and the location of the ceremony was perfect. We were so blown away by how organized everything went and how perfect the ceremony and reception was. We can't thank you enough for your commitment to our special day, we honestly would not have changed a thing." Thank you! Aloha! "We found Ellena's company online doing a general google search after we decided to get married in Hawaii. Being from New York, neither of us had ever visited any of the Hawaiian islands so we had no idea what to expect. We were drawn to Ellena based on the wonderful client testimonials and beautiful pictures located on her web site. After our first conversation with Ellena (when we didn't have anything formalized other than the date), we knew she was the right choice and would make our wedding experience truly remarkable. Ellena worked with us during the year preceding our wedding to fine tune details, add and delete components, deal with a sometimes frantic bride, and generally pulling all our little details together to produce what all those attending called "the best wedding they've ever attended (destination or otherwise)." Ellena was at our hotel waiting for us when we arrived in Maui, worked to coordinate all the entertainment (fire performer, hula girl and DJ), put together wonderful gift bags to welcome our guests and always with warm, kind words and a smile on her face. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to plan and coordinate our special day. She was truly magnificent and we would recommend her to any and everyone!!!! We love her!! Thanks so much for EVERYTHING and we'll see you when we're in Maui again :-)" Love, Dear Ellena, "Being born and raised on Maui, it was important to me to have both a Hawaiian wedding and a wedding that shared my faith in Jesus with my family who still live on the island. You allowed Ken and I to do both. We literally had a perfect wedding, without the stress -- the location was breath-taking, the flowers were everything I asked for and more (including a perfect recreation of the bouquet in that magazine photo I sent you), and the photographer and videographer you provided were excellent, and so easy to work with! Our pictures are more beautiful than we could ever have imagined and our wedding memories are priceless. You were so flexible and willing to accommodate our every wish. The time you spent taking care of details and making this memorable event so effortless for us, was a blessing. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!" With sincere Aloha, Dear Ellena, "Thank you so much for helping with my engagement dinner. The location was beautiful and romantic and the sunset was perfect. Chef Mike was fantastic and prepared a delicious meal. You help create a perfect night that was very special and will always be remembered." Thank you! Dear Ellena, "We wanted to write and thank you very much for making our dream wedding come true. You have surpassed our expectations of what our wedding experience would be like. Every little detail was taken care of from the moment we got off of the plane. You were always accessible by phone for questions and every thing was ran very smoothly. The photographer was outstanding and we even had our photos back before we left the island(which you took the time to meet us to give them to us). She took the time and got every shot we wanted and was so pleasant to be around, she made us feel so comfortable, no one can believe how amazing the photos were. Michael the videographer was so professional and took a ton of video. We can't wait to see the video. My hair was amazing, she knew exactly what she was doing and it was breathtaking, more than I could ever ask for. The flowers and cake were just as beautiful as the rest of the ceremony. It worked out so great that we could simply walk a few hundred feet and listen to live music and have a first class reception dinner. I felt as though not one thing could be changed to make it any better. Chris and I can not stop talking about how perfect everything was. If there is anyone who questions which coordinator is the best on the island of Maui just refer them to me and I can show them how special you made our wedding day. If you want copies of any of our wedding pictures just let me know and I can scan them in and send them to you. We would be fine if you wanted to post our pictures or this email. Thanks again." Mahalo! Aloha Ellena, Aloha Ellena, "Hello or as you say in Hawaiian, Aloha Dear Ellena, I just wanted to write you to let you know how pleased Don and I were with your assistance and services from our wedding June 30, 2004. From the initial phone call to your office till the cutting of the cake everything was WONDERFUL. Without your help I would have never been able to make this day so memorable. I also wanted to thank you for informing Tina to get the guitar player. That was another special touch. It's funny when I told everyone that I hired a wedding planner in Hawaii they were questioning everything I did since I didn't meet you personally or did I go to any appointments to pick anything out (spot of marriage, cake, etc.) I said to them not to worry this Ellena is so nice and I'm sure anything she does will be fine. Well when I showed them all of the pictures they were impressed and said how lucky I was to find you. Thanks Ellena again for all of your help. If I know of anyone that is considering getting married in Hawaii I will definitely give him or her your phone number. Sincerely, Aloha Ellena, ALOHA ELLENA!! I've been meaning to write you this thank you letter for the longest time. I'm glad to finally have the chance to let you know how much Doug and I appreciate everything that you have done for us. When Doug and I decided in May of 2003 to do what we wanted to do, which was get married in Hawaii. we were so excited! The only huge question was "How does someone do that?". I did all my research on the internet with no referrals to go by. I came across so many planners and contacted quite a few. You were the one that responded the quickest and answered all my questions. Your response, actions and punctuality alone made me realize that you were the one that I wanted to work with. Doug and I see our beautiful wedding day as proof that you were the right person to put our dream wedding into a reality. You were such a pleasure to work with. Your love and passion definitely shined through in your effort in helping us put together our special day. You made the process easy and very memorable. What else can I say? Everything turned out perfectly. You and your crew exceeded our expectations. Most of all, made us feel like we had family around. The blowing of the conch, the Hawaiian ceremony, our Hawaiian priest, our photographer, our pictures, our "personal videographer", and being blessed with sprinkles of rain made our day an unforgettable one. By the way, the Tropical Gardens of Maui was just gorgeous and breath taking. Doug and I cannot imagine any other location to take its place. Once again, THANK YOU!! I can go on and on but I think I'll stop here. Aloha, Dear Ellena, "This is a letter regarding the request of feedback for the Griffin/Laffey wedding event that took place on Saturday June 28, 2003. I have to say that planning an event at a place that I’ve never been is risky business. I was happy to hear that someone had a referral for me to try before my planning began. When I got a hold of you, Ellena, I was happy to hear such a cheerful and excited voice on the other line. You were very accommodating and I felt very welcomed to contact you with any questions. As the date grew closer, more changes were needed. There were never any hesitations on your part when things needed to be added or taken away. I also appreciated your calls to me as you had questions. I like that you didn’t assume anything. On the big day, the weather was beautiful (I thank you for pushing the clouds away) We, Erik and I, thought the minister, guitarist, and flowers were wonderful. The ceremony went very smoothly. I also felt that the photographer and videographer were very active and I, for the most part, am very pleased with the results." Sincerely, Ellena, "Tami and I would like to thank you for the perfect wedding. Everything was as good as we imagined - even better. You are no doubt a wonderful coordinator. Unfortunately, one of the goblets we received during the wedding did not make it back home intact. I was wondering if you could send us another identical one and just charge my account for it. Once again, thank you for everything. If anyone I know gets married in Maui, I'll make sure they know the quality of your work." Sincerely, Ellena, "Aloha! On behalf of Terri and myself we want to thank you for a perfect ceremony! From the original coordination, booking and final pictures taken you and your team did a perfect job. Terri and I simply wanted a private, romantic ceremony and you provided it just as we would have dreamed. The setting was fantastic (Black Rock on the Sheraton beach), the ceremony by the minister was beautiful and the photographs came out very natural. Terri is most pleased with the pictures and setting. I would recommend you to anyone who wants an affordable yet lavish wedding ceremony...you are a professional!" Sincerely, Aloha Ellena! I hope this letter finds you doing well. I just had to write and thank you again for the fabulous Maui Wedding that you planned
for us. We haven't stopped talking about it since we left Hawaii! The entire experience was so much more than we had even imagined it would be.
I really appreciate all of the effort you put into making our day so wonderful and the special attention you gave us. Aloha Ellena! "We wanted to thank you again for coordinating our wedding on March 24, 2004. Your service was excellent. We had never been to Maui before, and trusting you with all the arrangements was the best thing we did. Everything was perfect. You even helped arrange things like make-up and hair styling. We were very pleased and impressed with the quality of the video and photographs. Please tell them they did an excellent job. And thank Jeff for getting the video to us before we left! We really appreciate it! Thank you for making such a beautiful experience possible! We were very impressed with how much care was put into it, and how very professionally everything was done. We would be happy to be used for testimonials or references." -Peter & Elizabeth Homar Hi Ellena, "I just wanted you to know how happy we were with our wedding in Maui. You did such an excellent job. Everything was just as we wanted it to be (and more really). We've both been married before and from past experience we thought that something always went wrong at every wedding. But not so in your case. We were so happy with everything. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for all you did". Tynna Huff Ellena, "Just wanted to thank you for the beautiful wedding ceremony last week you coordinated for my daughter Melanie Nelson and Lee. She and I both appreciate all you did to make it a memorable occasion. Take good care and have a wonderful day" Carolyn Best (Mel’s mom) Ellena, "Aloha, we would like to thank you for a perfect wedding. My sister called it a fairytale. I received so many compliments on decisions I left to you. For instance, my bouquet was beautiful and all of the leis were gorgeous, especially Mother of the Groom. The clergy, the guitarist, the photographer, and the videographer all did a fantastic job. Our pictures turned out gorgeous. There wasn't one we did not like. Your expertise made our wedding day truly effortless and worry-free. I had complete confidence it would be a stunning day in paradise and it was. Mahalo. If you have any questions for us or are interested in seeing any of our photos feel free to contact us." Thank you again, Aloha, "On January 24, we got married on the hotel beach at sunset. It was wonderful. Special thanks to Ellena Borling (A Maui Tropical Wedding) who was recommended by the hotel, and who orchestrated the entire affair. All we had to do was get the license, and then show up for the wedding. Ellena took care of the rest. Ellena took a nervous senior-citizen bride and groom, and made us at ease so that we could enjoy our own wedding. To top it off, even the weather cooperated. The sunset was fabulous. I don't know how Ellena and the hotel managed it! We are already looking forward to our return trip. We keep looking at your Internet Specials. And when we do return to Maui and KBH, we will be sure to call Ellena and thank her again." Thank you, Ellena, I want to Thank You again for doing such a great job co-coordinating our special day. The romantic location, gorgeous flowers, sweet minister and creative photographer were amazing. I am especially happy with the Photo Album Marcia put together. She took great shots. I am so glad you quickly handled our last minute marriage license appointment time change due to our canceled flight. If you ever need a reference I'd be happy to tell how dependable and reachable you are, as well as great at coordinating a Beautiful Wedding. Aloha Dear Ellena, Thank you so much for all your hard work and expertise. You made our wedding so memorable! Ellena, I'm going to miss you and all your planning. You were wonderful to work with. Thank you so much! Hello Ellena! "My wife and I really miss Hawaii already and the experience that you provided with our vows renewal was memorable and something we will never forget for the rest of our lives. The marriage certificate was an extra that we will cherish forever. We hope to meet you again someday and be assured that we will refer you to any of our friends and family who plan to renew their vows in Hawaii. Until we meet again" Aloha and mahalo! "Thanks Ellena for you and Darrel's help. You made their marriage a beautiful and memorable event. I will keep touch you. I will tell Ruth about the CD." John Aloha Ellena, "Tom and I had a wonderful time visiting your gorgeous island of Maui. And of course, we will treasure our memories of the beautiful wedding you arranged for us on the beach at Kaanapali. Reverend Kekoa touched our hearts with the traditional Hawaiian wedding chant. As you know, his ceremony left our eyes filled with tears of joy! And the way he included the children in the ceremony was exactly what we had hoped for. Bobby’s beautiful guitar music and the surprise hula dance added to the enchanted setting you created for us on the beach. Thank you for giving us a relaxed and worry-free wedding, and allowing us to enjoy ourselves and our families on our special day!" Mahalo, Aloha Ellena, "I just wanted to let you know that everything you did to make my daughter's wedding was so wonderful. you took care of everything and that was a great relief. thanks again, for doing such a great job in making her wedding a beautiful occasion." take care, Dear Ellena, "How are you doing?

I wish I could have spent more time with you - you are such a wonderful person - to take so much time and consideration for people that you don't even know. Thank you also for the fabulous floral arrangement - it was absolutely gorgeous - you really should not have to do that, but I'm glad you did because I love flowers - so Ms. Ellena, I love you - thank you -and we will try to send some business your way.
