Kim was assigned as our coordinator, and took the challenge in stride. Another team member worked with us and Kim as a designer, and soon they helped us develop a cohesive vision and start thinking about the logistics, securing vendors, and making the many dozens of small but critical decisions to make our wedding day feel like us.
Kim met with us many times leading up to the wedding date, coordinated all of the vendor communications by email, and always made time to address our questions and concerns--no detail was too small. She helped coach us through selecting rentals and the minute-by-minute plan for the day, and when we needed to pivot last minute to doing DIY flowers to save money, she supported us through that, too! This review would end up the length of a novel if I tried to cover everything, but just to give a couple examples: Kim helped us design custom drink menus for our reception, found alternatives for glassware and decor when we found out we couldn’t have glass or open flame at our venue, and made sure we got a refund from our rental company for the few small items that were missing (which we of course, never even knew about because the Leilani Squad just handled it!). The day before the wedding, Kim met with us and our bridal party to run an efficient and helpful rehearsal, exuding competence and kindness while making sure everyone was ready for the next day.
On the wedding day, four amazing Leilani Social team members were present to make it all happen. My day as bride started with a sound bath hosted by one of Leilani’s wellness vendors (the wonderful Stephanie with Soul Sounds Alchemy) for myself and my bridesmaids. To be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical at first (especially since it meant we’d have to start our day earlier) but it ended up being so lovely and grounding (thank you, Danielle and Stephanie!). My “lady-in-waiting,” Lulu, was amazing, and she spent the whole morning with us, keeping us on track time-wise and helping with all of the little things that came up, like steaming the skirt of my dress.
Kim worked tirelessly to transform our blank canvas venues into the magical settings we had envisioned together for ceremony and reception. Arriving at the spaces and seeing our vision realized was an amazing experience. But as bride and groom, our hope was to truly be in the moment and enjoy the day, and Kim, Danielle, and the rest of the Leilani Squad made that possible. They took care of everything, arranging our many DIY elements, receiving each of our many vendors, making sure our guests got from one place to another, and responding to the inevitable hiccups so that the two of us could just enjoy each other, our guests, and our beautiful celebration. As a note, Kim was the last to leave the reception site hours after we did, making sure everything was in top shape and transporting extra drinks and supplies to our nearby home for the after party. She was a champion, and went above and beyond for us.
It was truly the best day of our lives, and truly wouldn’t have been possible without Kim and the Leilani Squad. We can’t thank you or recommend you highly enough!
Her timeline was PERFECT. Everything was mapped out to the minute, and it was incredibly comforting to know that this was the timeline that Leilani and all the vendors would follow. She is very experienced, so we completely trusted her and did not regret it. We couldn’t see the venue, vendor items, food, etc, in person before our wedding, but Leilani ensured it would go seamlessly regardless. She was available through text, email, phone, Zoom, etc, whenever we had any questions.
She came to Mexico (for 24 hours!) to support us on our big day and efficiently handled each vendor. We never felt stressed or rushed because we knew Danielle had everything in order. She kept everyone aware of what was going on and what was happening next. It would’ve been a different and stressful day without her presence.
All of this is to say if you’re considering working with Leilani, DO IT. She will guide you through your wedding every step of the way with ease, professionalism, directness, kindness, and joy. We are so thankful we worked with her.
