If we could give Karine and her staff more then 5 stars we would! From the moment my husband and I got engaged and starting planning our wedding we were told a wedding coordinator was a must! We are so glad we took everyones advise! We were referred to Karine and after meeting with her the first time we knew we wanted to hire her! It was such a blessing getting to know and work with her! Karine loves her work and it shows through her dedication, professionalism, and kind heart! We highly recommend Seasons of Life Wedding and Event Planning! You will not regret it!

Karine and her team were a blessing throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always very responsive in her emails and I was able to "let go" the week of the wedding because I knew everything was going to turn out extremely well. She always knew the right thing to say whenever I felt overwhelmed and we couldn't have been happier to have shared our special day with Seasons of Life. Mahalo for everything!!!

Karine was enthusiastic, organized and supportive from the day I hired her. She always made me feel like my wedding was just as important to her as it was to me. From a styling background, I can honestly say that Karine has an eye for design. She was able to assist me with additional details, resources and new ideas of inspiration. I can truly say that my wedding day was PERFECT! Everything from the tent design, to the table settings, and the coordination of events, were perfect.

Karine, does such an amazing job and you can truly tell she loves her work. We were so blessed to have her coordinate our wedding and she took all the stress away. I tell all my friends that are getting married to give Karine a call because not only does she do GREAT work and loves what she does but she's also a vendor that you could never thank enough for making your day so stress free and memorable. We LOVE you Karine!!!

My husband and I absolutely love Karine! She is the type of person that goes above and beyond. We started planning our small destination wedding about 7 months in advance. The first item on our task list was to find a wedding coordinator. We wanted to find someone who lived on Oahu (and knew the area well), could understand what we wanted and what our style was, and would fit into our budget. I knew Karine was the one when I spoke to her on the phone the first time. She just got it! We couldn't have done it without her. She played such a important role in our wedding and we can't thank her enough. Planning a destination wedding is no simple fete. But Karine made the process easy and enjoyable. She was helpful (and patient!) when answering ALL of my questions. She never made me feel like I was bombarding her. This was really important for us because we live in California and weren't able to make a trip to Oahu before the wedding. Unlike other couples, we didn't do taste testings, didn't see the venue (except in pictures and videos), and didn't meet any of the vendors. But Karine's vendor recommendations were spot on. Our wedding turned out to be better than we had expected. We only wish it could have lasted longer...

We were so blessed to have Karine as our wedding planner! She was an amazing, encouraging and upbeat part of the planning process from the very beginning. Karine is so easy to speak with, and she was really great in calming me down during my stressful times! On the day of the wedding, I had no worries, and barely anything to do but relax, get married, and have the best day of my life! Karine also was able to negotiate with the vendors, and ask them the questions that as a bride, I felt uncomfortable asking. Hiring Karine was one of the best decisions I made during the planning process, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a stress-free planning process and wedding day! Thank you again Karine for one of the happiest days of my life!

I don't know what we would have done without Seasons of Life Wedding and Event Planning LLC. My husband and I had very little time to organize and brainstorm for our event. After giving Karine our budget and an idea of what we wanted, we let her run with it. It was everything we asked for and more. We were very happy with the results and enjoyed working with her. She has a "can do" attitude and she loves what she does. We would definitely work with her again.

Karine at Season's of Life Events helped me plan my dream wedding! Not only was Karine able to work with my limited budget and time frame (3 months!), she was able to do it for a destination wedding. Karine took my jumble of ideas and turned it into the chic and sophisticated wedding I hoped for. She was also there every step of the way, answering every one of my questions and promptly returning all my emails and calls. I didn't have to worry about anything because I knew the answer would be "I already took care of it". Besides being a wonderful wedding coordinator, she is also the sweetest person ever- always optimistic and cheerful...what more could a bride ask for?! I HIGHLY recommend Seasons of Life Events.
Nicole and Chad

Karine, our wedding planner was a lifesaver for us, as we were from out of town, and flying in and out for the event. She was so organized, efficient, and made us feel stress free, knowing we were in great hands. The day went off without a hitch, everything was beautiful, and we couldn't have done it without her !! Karine truly was a professional, yet at the same time, became a great friend for life.
