A HUGE congratulations to you and your fiancé(e), and YAY for taking the leap into finding your perfect planning partner! Thank you for following your curiosity about ABC, ultimately leading you to read this bio about US! We can’t wait to get to know you, too 🙂

While Northern California is my “second home” (I spent my youth raised in the Bay Area and North Lake Tahoe), the large majority of my life I’ve been living in (and loving) the islands of Hawaii. Between working on my family’s coffee and Mac nut farm in Captain Cook on the Big Island, to basking in the sun on the west shores of Oahu, the islands as a whole are my home; everything nature, ocean and sunshine brings me so much joy, and there isn’t a better place to be!

I graduated from UH Manoa’s Shidler College of Business with a double major in Management & Marketing, serendipitously, where I met Lauren. From friends to roommates to best friends to business partners, her entrepreneurial passion introduced me to the world of weddings, and life has never been the same!

My role in ABC is dynamic to say the least, but you’ll always find my focus on All-Things-Operations and 100% support for anything our business/team/vendors needs. From connecting with couples on their first calls and consults with us, to leading clients through the design and planning process, engaging and networking with our industry leaders amongst Oahu’s Wedding Association, or being the number one cheerleader for our rockstar coordinators. On a client front, I primarily support ABC’s Elite (full planning service) clientele alongside our planning team!!

Twelve years and 1,300+ weddings later (as of 2025😆), Lauren and I have found our calling in leading our team of talented wedding planners and coordinators to help YOU! How do we do it?! Strong systems, elite organization, thorough communication, amazing vendor partners, and SPREADSHEETS!! Logistic management and execution are our specialties, and no matter the guest count or nuances for your day, we’ve got the experience to make your wedding as special and stress-free as you deserve! We can’t wait to get started 🙂
