024 // Kayla & Armando’s Elegant Maui Wedding Week

In this heartfelt episode of A Dream Wedding Maui, I sit down with Kayla and Armando—an amazing couple who celebrated their dream wedding on Maui with a ceremony at Sacred Hearts Mission Church and an unforgettable reception at Olowalu Plantation House.

Together, we reflect on the design-forward planning process, a week full of activities for their guests (including a catamaran sail, golf course welcome drinks, and a sunrise bike ride down Haleakalā!), and even a flower mishap that turned into a beautiful win thanks to communication and trust.

We talk about:

• How they chose Maui and what made them fall in love with Olowalu

• Planning a destination wedding with full-service support

• Creating an elegant design that felt timeless and Hawaiian

• Why it's worth planning multiple events during your wedding week

• How vendor synergy and a solid planner made all the difference

• The unexpected moment when bouquets needed a redo—and how we fixed it fast!

Vendors Mentioned:

• Venue: Olowalu Plantation House

• Ceremony Location: Sacred Hearts Mission Church

• Catering: Café O’Lei Catering

• Music: Marvin Tevaga Music

• Photography: Dmitri and Sandra Photography

• Videography: No Ka Oi Media

• Coconut Bar: The Catered Coconut

Planning Tip: Always communicate with your planner if something isn’t right. We’d much rather know and fix it than miss the chance to make things right. Case in point: Kayla’s bridesmaid bouquets weren’t what she expected—but one phone call later, we turned the day around.

 Favorite Moments:

• The catamaran snorkel sail

• Something blue welcome drinks at Ka‘anapali Golf Course

• A surprise welcome speech that brought guests to tears

• Their dreamy white orchid lei wall and satin-ribboned place cards
