Melissa is currently a co-worker of mine, and I was so honored when she asked me to be her day-of coordinator. Her bachelorette party was in Hollywood. We used the same photo scavenger hunt that I created for Hanh’s party, but we tweaked it to fit the Hollywood & Highlands scene. It was a fun night!

This was my first destination wedding and what a treat it was for it to be in Hawaii! This was also my first small wedding. There were approximately 75 guests, so it was quite intimate and nice. The ceremony and reception were held at the Halekulani Resort in Waikiki on Thursday, November 6, 2008. It is a beautiful property with amazing views! The staff was awesome and really easy to work with (Thanks again Ai and Bryce!). Shawn Starr, the photographer, Alice Inoue, the officiant, and Emi, the florist, all did a great job! Everyone had a great time!

Favorite Moments: The couple held nothing back while cutting the cake! The last song, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz, where everyone danced in a big circle surrounding the happy couple.
