About Us

A wedding coordinator knows everything about planning a wedding here on Maui. Your coordinator will guide you throughout the planning process from budget to event design to entertainment. Our goal is to offer each couple superior service and attention to detail. We wish for every couple to arrive on Maui knowing that no detail has been left untouched and to simply relax and enjoy knowing that we will take care of you and your guests.

We not only help you plan your Big Day but also work with you on everything in between. We can guide you, your family and guests to the best accommodations Maui has to offer and book fun activities to do all week. We love to offer advice on the best restaurants, shopping, snorkeling, surf spots . . . anything you need to know.

We decided to start Your Aloha Wedding Company to plan weddings here on Maui the way we would want ours to be planned. Your Aloha Wedding Company was started by three friends seasoned in the wedding industry in different backgrounds from coordinating to photography to catering.

We offer full wedding ceremony and reception coordination services. We are there from set up to clean up. We make sure that every vendor is at the right place at the right time. We make sure your event flows smoothly and handle everything on your day so that you wont need to worry about a thing!

We also offer one of the finest teams of photographers and videographers in the business. They capture every moment from the wedding party getting ready to the last dance of the night with a unique touch that captures your memories for a lifetime.

Just fill out our Contact Page and tell us what you envision to get started. It is a good idea to pick a date, decide how many guests you plan to have and set an overall budget to begin.

Who We Are

Kara Byrne
Owner & Wedding Coordinator

Kara Byrne - Owner & Wedding Coordinator

“Originally from Washington, D.C., I moved to Maui to pursue a new career and found my niche in coordinating weddings. I traveled the world for a year before “landing” on Maui and fell in love with it’s beauty and people. I have a background as a professional equestrian and as a software sales manager. I graduated from the University of Delaware with a B.A. in English and Art History. Coordinating weddings has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Getting to know each couple in such a way that ensures their wedding is completely about their style and taste is something I look forward to from our first contact. Planning such a special event over the course of a year and seeing it come to fruition is truly remarkable. I am honored when asked to be a part of it.”
