Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful and so
memorable. Working with you has made a lot less stressful than it could have
been. Alia you were great! You made everything seem to flow so well. I was
so focus during the ceremony that I didn't even get to meet and thank Kelly,
please help me extend my thanks to him. Blake was very nice and I forgot if
he mentioned how long it usually takes to process the video. Everyone I've
met has been awesome!Thank you again,

Well, Nancy and I are back in New York today and we still can't believe

favs and really ONO!!!We both wanted to thank you again for a memorable wedding ceremony and
making us feel at ease. We are so happy that you were the one who planned
our special event. The crew: Alia, Alice, Chrissy, Beverly, Kelly, Michelle
and Aki were all professional and personable.And, we hope to make it back to Oahu sometime soon, but if you're ever in
New York (and it may sound cliche) please visit us. Stay in touch and all

You made our day so easy, stress free and beautiful.
It was everything i had imagined. The venue divine, the flowers were perfect, Cynthia was great and Anna the photographer was so lovely.
Your phone call on the day to ensure all was well was so thoughtful.

We did it! We owe our fond memories of a perfect wedding in large part to you. You worked so hard to ensure that every detail was right. in the end, Peter and I didn't think about a thing except for the great time we were having. We are also most appreciative of your
introductions to our vendors, especially Jon of Visionari, Reverend Alice and of course Charles at the Kahala. They were all exactly the
people we wanted to surround ourselves with on our wedding day---which is a testament to your knowledge of us and our style. See you when we return to Hawaii.

We would like to express our heart felt gratitude for the wonderful work you did with our wedding. I must admit, I thought it would be
difficult planning such an event with me being here in California and you and the event being in Hawaii.. Everything went as planned
though. Thank you for putting me in touch with all the vendors. Our event was so stress free because of you. Thank you again!

Bride and Groom August 2008
We don't really know how to begin in thanking you for all the help and hard work you put into making our wedding so wonderful. Your advice, professionalism, and overall brilliance kept us at ease throughout the entire process of planning our wedding. We heard nothing but compliments from everyone that day about how well you handled everything, which we wholeheartedly agreed with every time! It was so nice to feel that we had someone to turn to with whatever little question or concern we had and know that it was in the best of capable hands once we brought it to your attention (and you were calm and soothing every time). We will miss talking to you on a regular basis but hope to keep in touch and wish you all the best. Thanks again for everything!
Love,

I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you so much for everything on my wedding day! It gave great comfort knowing that you were there to oversee the whole ordeal and take care of any issues that arose. Everyone has said that this was the best wedding that they have been to and I know that it is largely in part to you being there. Thank you for your professionalism, your eagerness to help and advise, and our friendly down-to-earth nature. It truly was a pleasure working with you.
Take care,

Thank you so much for all of your help in planning our wedding! You were really awesome. It was so important for us to have someone who understands why we picked the North Shore as our wedding destination! It is such a special place for Mayu and I, very jealous that you live there 24/7. You were so calming and helpful through out the process: we will never forget it. I wish you much success with future events and hope that all go off as well as ours did.
Love,

Sorry it took so long to write... I just wanted to thank you again for everything! I knew I liked you from the very beginning and am so happy I got to plan my wedding with you. You saw eye to eye with me the whole time and really helped me have the best wedding! That whole week on the North Shore was so memorable for us. From our crazy neighbor we befriended to Tutu the wedding crasher! It was so cool you got to come see the house we rented, and hang out during the rehearsal dinner too! That was so sweet of you.
Love,
Mayu

Ralph and I want to formally thank you for everything! It was amazing to see our vision come to life, and with your creative eye, our wedding was more than what we expected it to be. Ralph and I had the wedding of our dreams, and we can't imagine having it any other way! Your organization, quick thinking, and flawless direction made our wedding day so smooth. Some of the words and phrases from our guests include:
"The crème de la crème of weddings!"
"The flowers... the food... the video... the pictures... the organization... everything was so nice!"
"You guys don't fool around! WOW!"
"This is the best wedding ever!"
"It was so beautiful, gorgeous, and so emotional..."
Ralph and I feel privileged to say we had Laura Lewis of Parasol Events as our wedding consultant. You got rave reviews from our family and friends. We already know how awesome you are, and they got to see it for themselves. Even our moms, the skeptics, were so impressed. They kept saying, "This is a nice, nice wedding! Soooo nice!"
I didn't even realize you were right beside me when Ralph and I were saying our thank you's. You really were our confidante, our guide in the wedding industry. Your creativity was manifested in our event. You are professional, organized, and admirable – the epitome of positive thinking – and we are so glad to have met you.
Thank you again and 'til next time,
Ralph and Melissa =)

We are back in Texas and trying to get into our normal routine, however, I am finding it a little difficult because I keep daydreaming about the beautiful Hawaii wedding.
You captured the essence of Hawaii so perfectly with the gorgeous driftwood, seashells, and orchids. The bamboo structure with the Tiffany Blue linens and floating candles was absolutely breath taking.
Could continue to go on and on but I really want you to know how much I appreciate the great job you did to make this wedding so perfect! Picked up on everything that Tiffany wanted her wedding to be a then, you made it all happen!! The wedding day had a seamless flow and you were so professional, yet warm and relaxed that everyone was at ease. You are a "Perfect" Wedding Coordinator and it was truly a pleasure to work with you.
Mahalo,

Thank you so much for your help organizing, planning and executing our wedding. You were amazing the day-of – exactly what we needed with such a packed agenda! You helped ensure we could actually enjoy our day instead of having to worrying about what was coming up next or who needed to be where. The setting and location were beautiful and many of our guests said it was one of the most memorable weddings they have attended.
Hope all is well. And, best of luck in all your future endeavors!

Alia guided us to some excellent vendors. Her expertise and perceptive instincts helped to make Rick and Christa's decisions easy and exactly right. All the details and coordination made for a beautiful wedding and a very memorable night. Alia Kennedy was directly responsible for the success of this event. It was truly a delight to work with Alia. She is an asset to your organization. Thank you Parasol Events and especially Alia Kennedy for making this wedding as near perfect as it could be. You are the best in the business.

Stepmother of the Bride December 2006
I wanted to tell you how much we loved Veronica and what a fabulous job she did with our wedding. I wasn't really sure what services we were getting with the Makakilo package, but both Chris and I were blown away by the amount of hard work, communication, and organizing that Veronica did over that last month going into the wedding. She was so easy to work with and so much fun! Heck, she felt like a member of the family and even attended the happy hour my parents hosted the day after the wedding and went surfing with us the next day. My whole family was raving about her that whole week. I can honestly say that the money I spent for Veronica's services were THE most valuable in the entire wedding. Our guests are still raving about the wedding, saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to and how absolutely everything was perfect.
Tanya Warburton
Bride October 2006
I REALLY, REALLY wanted to thank you so much for helping our actual wedding day go SO smoothly. Both Layne and I felt like it went flawlessly and what we appreciated most was that we actually had the opportunity to enjoy ourselves rather than have to worry about everything that was going on (who needed to be where, what was happening next, etc.) and I attribute that all to you. So thank you so, so much. Now that the wedding's over, I still feel like I miss talking to you! =) Take care and thanks again for everything.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did. The wedding was perfect. Nothing went wrong and everything was exactly how I wanted and pictured it. We got so many compliments from the site, to flowers, to entertainment and food. But it never would have all come together without you. You have an amazing job; I hope that you enjoy every moment. Please take care and hopefully I will be able to send clients your way someday. Or need to use Parasol Events for another big event in our lives!

You are truly a blessing. We met a year and a half ago and since then you have constantly been amazing. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly and perfect.

Thank you so very much for making our wedding dreams come true. If it weren't for the friendliness, expertise, and smiles of your staff, I don't think we could've had a or wished for a better day. I was blown away by the details that you put in place for our special day – from the malasadas and strawberries to the cattleya orchids in our champagne – all were amazing -esp. the seashells & sand in our guest reception table. Everything went great & you tended to my every wish, need & desire. Un and I are forever grateful and would recommend you to any future bride.
