Where to begin? My initial call with Morgan pretty much cemented my idea to elope. They have a really great set up for coordination and planning, working with you on key options and doing the legwork according to your choices. Jennifer was our concierge and we were in great hands. Our wedding turned out more beautiful than I could have dreamed of. If you want to have all the amenities of a great wedding, but on a small scale this is the option for you (we had no guests). The plus side to this business is that they have connections with wonderful vendors that will not disappoint, and by booking with them you will have an entirely private wedding which was very important to me to feel in the moment whereas many other companies will have your wedding in a public space. Our vendors blew me out of the water. Jennifer worked with me in getting my choice videographer (add-on) and flying him into Kauai from Oahu, Redefined Weddings, and I can not wait to see how it turns out! Our photographer Nicolette with Fotopop made our day with her sweet personality that helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and capturing our candid moments, I still cry looking at our pictures. Our officiant and musician were absolutely wonderful and even learned the lyrics to sing our song. Jennifer assisted me into getting into my dress (not a small feat) so my fiance would not see me before our ceremony. Needless to say they helped bring my dream vision to life and I am so grateful.

Morgan and her team are absolutely amazing! They planned the wedding of our dreams and took care of every single detail while making the whole thing look effortless. Their team is patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about their industry and each island. AND their vendors are all outstanding. We could not have dreamt up a more perfect day and are so thankful for Modern Elopement. Highly highly recommend!!

Thank you to Modern Elopement and our wedding planner, Jennifer Takenaka for making our wedding stress-free and memorable! Jennifer responded to us in a timely manner and was able to answer all of our questions. She was very professional and so sweet when we met in person on the day of the wedding. We enjoyed working with her and appreciate all of her help! Overall, my husband and I did very little since Modern Elopement was able to take care of everything. We just took care of our attire, travel, and bringing certain documents for the marriage license agent. We got engaged in Feb 2022 and eloped in June 2022 during our trip to Hawaii. We chose the Four Seasons package and had 13 people in our group (including me and my husband). They provided several questionnaires to help us choose what we wanted from a selection of vendors they curated (ie. photographer, music, course menu, florals, type of wedding officiant, etc.). You just have to choose what you want, and they take care of the rest. Our photographer, videographer, officiant, hair/makeup artist, and everyone else involved with our wedding were all friendly and professional. They were also able to make accommodations such as adding a videographer to do a full ceremony video along with the included highlight clip, dietary restrictions, time changes, and more. Just ask! Highly recommend this company to plan your elopement/micro wedding. Give yourself some peace of mind and choose Modern Elopement.

Our first decision when it came to our wedding was 0 stress, we wanted to enjoy the process of being an engaged couple planning our big day, our second was to go with Modern Elopement after that everything became so much easier! Summer from Modern Elopement went above and beyond to make all of our WANTS and NEEDS and everything in between possible. Before them a wedding in hawaii felt impossible, we were in California and I was too big of a stress ball to even try planning this on my own. From the planning to the day of to after the wedding Summer had made us a part and aware of everything: I can’t thank her and the team enough for the day going so smoothly even when there was still some hiccups out of everyone’s control! Id go with Modern Elopement in an instant, Best and easiest decision we made!

The process of working with Modern Elopement to plan our destination wedding was seamless. I had to postpone the wedding once because of covid, but Morgan's team made sure that I still had a great experience. Jade was so friendly and easy to communicate with. The vendors that helped make our day special were also great. I would recommend Modern Elopement to anybody who is wishing to have a wedding in beautiful Hawaii.

My husband and I worked with Summer at Modern Elopement - she is amazing!!! Planning a destination wedding was a piece of cake with her. Summer would follow up with us at key checkpoints leading up to the wedding so we could make decisions on venue and vendors. We had some customization requests that she was able to accommodate as well - such longer video and photography. If you want an an easy, elegant, and intimate Hawaiian elopement - I highly recommend Modern Elopement!

Don't even know where to begin.. I found Modern Elopement after my fiancé and I decided to last minute ditch the traditional wedding route and follow our dream.. having a micro wedding in Hawaii! This decision was truly made thanks to Modern Elopement. From my initial call with Morgan, and then our planner Jade! Wow.. such a flawless, stress-free experience. Jade took care of it ALL. A lot of people ask me if I was stressed.. I truly was not. I knew I was in good hands with this company. They just get it! Their style, their choice of vendors, their vision.. everything is on point. I truly got tired of planning every single detail with my original traditional wedding. With Jade, I knew I could give her bits and pieces of my vision and she'd bring it to life. And man she DID. Best decision my husband and I ever made. Everything was how we wanted it to be, and it will forever be one of the best days of our lives

Jennifer Shumann Chang

It was a wonderful experience working with Modern Elopement. Jade was our planner and was very helpful through the process and day-of. The vendors that they recommended were all terrific. Would recommend if you're looking to have the lowest level of stress in wedding planning!

Candice Mansito

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!

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!

Modern Elopement helped us plan our dream elopement on the Island of Oahu! What immediately drew me into the company was our initial phone call, I could tell that they were so passionate about weddings! I also liked that they had "lookbooks" of options that you could pick from like flowers, locations, dinner, etc. The lookbooks helped me visualize exactly what our big day was going to look like, which was very important to me. I also added some custom things like a custom cake, dinner reservations, and first dance, and they were extremely flexible and willing to accommodate requests. This took the Elopement to the next level because those custom touches are what make the day even more special. Nicole was our wedding planner, and by the end of our wedding day, we were sad to say goodbye! Throughout the process, we felt like we were old friends; she is such a genuinely sweet person! On the day of the wedding, we had rain, and Nicole managed to calm me down when I arrived at the venue. She also bustled my dress after the ceremony, which was a lifesaver. I was so worried about that! If you are on the fence about eloping, I would plan it with Modern Elopement, we have no regrets and were able to celebrate with 17 of our closest family and friends in paradise!

Jenny Berg

Modern Elopement made planning my wedding a breeze! I really appreciate Summer’s help throughout the whole process. She was organized, professional and answered all my questions. She even offered suggestions on how to work within my budget. On the day of my wedding, Summer allowed me to be fully in the moment to enjoy the whole day, taking everything off my shoulders, ensuring everything would run smoothly – and it did! All the vendors they recommended were fantastic too! Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Modern Elopement to anyone planning a wedding!

Sasha Chung

Had the pleasure of having with Leilani from Modern Elopement as our wedding coordinator. She was so sweet and always helped answer our questions quickly. Because of covid we didn’t meet her until the day of the wedding but communication through email & phone calls worked for us. The wedding process was painless and easy to understand. Modern Elopement was very professional and I would highly recommend ! Can’t thank everyone on their team enough that helped make our day so special. Everything was perfect !!

I cannot thank our coordinator Jennifer at Modern Elopement enough for creating a beautiful, intimate wedding ceremony for me and my husband at Four Season’s Ko Olina, HI. We wanted to keep our event small, and we had debated between a larger affair with our family and friends on the continental US versus celebrating with our parents somewhere fun and tropical. We decided upon an elopement, and I am so happy we made that decision. It was super easy and stress-free! We made selections through online questionnaires to tailor the ceremony and reception dinner to our preferences (there were several options to choose from in terms of flower themes, photographers, etc.), then communicated via email to clarify certain details. It was an option to make more personalized selections for an extra cost if that matters to you, but my husband and I are easy-going people who don’t take much joy in planning elaborate events, so this was just perfect in that we could pick and choose what we wanted or did not want without added hassle. Everything came together beautifully, and we will cherish the memories forever! Shout out to our officiant Grant, ukulele player Jeremy, and our photographer Megan Moura who took the most stunning photographs to help us remember the day!

Currently using Modern Elopement for our planned September wedding in Hawaii, very pleased with everything that's been presented and managed so far. Will update the review along with our experience with planning an elopement.

We still can’t believe how gorgeous our wedding ceremony was with Modern Elopement! Kayleigh and company really executed to make the whole process streamlined and stress free. We honestly didn’t know what to expect, all we needed to do was show up to Hawaii and enjoy the day. I recommend people who are trying to elope with a small intimate setting to choose Modern Elopement. Their packages are easy and they are always available anytime. We still can’t believe the cost of it all either. The cost of our wedding would have been equivalent to the catering cost if we stuck with a wedding in Los Angeles. Thank you guys!

Lauren Hoffman

Modern Elopement was the best choice we could've made for our destination wedding. We wanted an intimate ceremony with high-end touches, and ME delivered. Kayleigh was fabulous, always responsive to my questions and made the day go SO smoothly. We could just relax and enjoy our wedding day. If you are considering a Hawaiian destination wedding, do yourselves a favor and talk to Modern Elopement before booking anyone else! Thank you for making our dream wedding come true Kayleigh!

Modern Elopement was one of the best decision we’ve ever made!! We were looking to have a small intimate ceremony with just our closest family members present, but I didn’t want to sacrifice style and I didn't want the stress of wedding planning. Once I found Modern Elopement I was hooked! The cost was more than other packages I saw in Oahu but I knew what I wanted and Modern Elopement had that! From their ceremony locations, to designs (that are pretty customizable), to their choices of photographers, they were a DREAM! Everything was stress-free for me, which is amazing in itself. Whether you are traveling from afar or right on the island; the vendors they work with are top-notch, our ceremony turned out so elegant and beautiful, Modern Elopement truly did not disappoint. We are so happy we chose them, and you will be too, I promise. Thank you again to Kayleigh who was so nice and accommodating throughout, I really can’t thank you enough!

Samantha Akers

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!

Our experience with Modern Elopements was absolutely amazing! When we arrived at our wedding we were COMPLETELY blown away how gorgeous the venue was. Kayleigh helped us throughout the entire process. She is really sweet, responsive, organized, and VERY good at what she does. The thought of having someone else plan and be in charge of every aspect of our wedding was difficult at first, but having Modern Elopements take over was the best decision that we made. 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. Cheryl Hazelgrove did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup. Amber from Schyne did our photos and they turned out amazing. Every one of our guests was amazed at how calm we were on our wedding day, how perfectly the day went, and how absolutely beautiful the venue was. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a gorgeous yet stress-free wedding experience. :)

Working with Modern Elopement on our wedding day was a dream come true. We have two families to bring together, one from Vancouver, BC and one from Brisbane and all the logistics of sorting out the perfect wedding and not being able to be in Hawaii for the planning stages was well over our heads. We are so thankful to have found ME and to work with Kayleigh who put our minds at ease to the entire process. She is an absolute professional and thinks of everything down to the tiniest detail which made our big day absolutely stunning, and stress free. Her positive and organized attitude is all you could ever ask for to coordinate your big day. Our guests still remark at how she kept the ceremonies flowing and no one wondered if they were out of place. ME helped with everything from the location, transportation, guest wrangling and even the favors. The silliest questions only a bride would think of were always answered and we never felt like we didn’t know what was going on. We honestly can’t say enough about ME and encourage any couple planning a wedding in Hawaii to reach out to them!

Jacob Pettie

We worked with Modern Elopement for our June 2018 elopement in Kauai and were blown away by how effortless they made the experience. Kayleigh walked us through all of the choices we had and set up a day that was far beyond anything we could have imagined! She had no problem answering all of our questions throughout the process and really went above and beyond to make sure it was our perfect day. Modern Elopement took all of the stress out of our wedding planning experience. We are so grateful to them for putting together a day we will cherish for a lifetime!

I can honestly say this day was better than our first wedding. Everything was so easy and simply beautiful. I would recommend the Modern Elopement at the Four Season. Thank you again for making us have such a memorable day 🥰 …

Stephani Griffin

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! 💕

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!

This company has amazingly high standards and will make your day an absolute dream. The vendors and locations organised for our elopement where sensational and so helpful.Our photographer and make up artist were such a joy to meet i couldn't have asked for any more for our big day. Communication can be drawn out if your in AUS due to time difference and can sometimes feel a touch stressful but rest assured you are in the best hands.Nicole will always reply and make sure she has everything perfect, confirms exactly what you have asked with answers and even mood boards to ensure your both on the same page and is more then happy to Skype to ensure your calm and confident and totally stress free exactly as a elopement should be! We could not recommend this company any more. Thanks Guys xxx
