Bliss in Bloom

My husband and I worked with Molly at Bliss in Bloom to plan our 71-person wedding at Rosewood Kona Village in May. In our monthly planning calls, chats in the Aisle Planner platform Contacts section, "shower thoughts" email threads and text chains as the big day approached, Molly was always proactive, responsive, kind and fun to work with. On site, her colleague Allison was a grounding presence in the hair and makeup suite, keeping everyone feeling taken care of and on schedule. I cannot recommend this fantastic team enough for their high level of attention to detail and A+ execution on my vision for my Bridal Dinner, Welcome Party, Ceremony, Reception, After Party, and Goodbye Breakfast.

Allison was absolutely amazing! She made the entire planning process such a joy and kept me calm knowing everything was under control. We had four beautiful events over our wedding weekend, and guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning and seamless each one was. She brought all of our visions to life, offered great suggestions when I was indecisive, stayed on top of every detail, and kept us on budget. Her team was just as incredible and so hands-on — we truly couldn’t have asked for a better planning experience!

Kirsten with Bliss in Bloom is the best wedding planner! Not only did she provide top-notch service for our wedding, but also executed the wedding events and wedding day extremely well. My husband and I got married in April 2024 and we started the planning process about a year and a half before the wedding. Throughout the months, Kirsten was an excellent communicator, organized, and very kind. We emailed and texted regularly, had monthly meetings (weekly meetings when we got closer to the wedding), and she made sure to followed up on tasks that I needed to do as a bride. I never felt stressed with planning the wedding, and I know that is ultimately because of Kirsten. I trusted her from the beginning, not only because of her amazing experience, but because she is a good person and executes the job well. She and her team also planned our welcome party, which was breath taking. Everything was beyond perfect. Kirsten, thank you for all you and your team did for our special day. You made us feel like the most badass bride and groom. Thank you for everything!

If you're even considering a wedding planner for your wedding, do it and hire Kirsten and Bliss In Bloom Events. Kirsten 1000% went above and beyond for us and our wedding. She is so incredibly knowledgeable about all things wedding and event planning. Her advice and expertise were invaluable and our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. I loved sharing my vision and going through this process with her. Absolutely everything I imagined and envisioned about the event was there and exactly as I pictured. Kirsten is professional, personable, kind. She will be on top of it leading up to and on the day of your wedding. I wouldn't go anywhere else, Bliss In Bloom is the best!

Molly Johnston of Bliss In Bloom: The Ultimate Wedding Planner on the Big Island If you're planning a wedding on the Big Island, look no further than Molly Johnston of Bliss In Bloom. She is, without a doubt, the best. Last August, our families hosted a wedding at the luxurious Fairmont Orchid on the Big Island. Although we had organized events before, we quickly realized the irreplaceable value of having an experienced wedding planner—especially one who knows the island intimately. That's where Molly Johnston came into play, and for that, we will always be grateful. From start to finish, Molly was exceptional. Her extensive knowledge of the Big Island, strong relationships with local vendors, and calm, professional demeanor made all the difference. She anticipated every detail, bringing creative and thoughtful touches that elevated the entire event. From managing logistics to navigating potential weather challenges and permits, she handled everything seamlessly—things we would never have considered, even as experienced planners who previously hosted a wedding on the mainland. Planning a wedding from a distance can be overwhelming, making it vital to have someone who lives and works on the island—someone with a genuine understanding of the nuances involved in hosting an outdoor event in Hawai’i. Molly brought not only her expertise but also warmth, grace, and an unwavering commitment to ensuring that our three-day event was beautiful and stress-free. We are thrilled that our family chose the Fairmont Orchid to host approximately 90 guests over a three-day wedding weekend, with many staying at the resort for five nights. Thanks to Molly and the exceptional team at the Fairmont led by Celeste Tremblay, every aspect of the experience was meticulously executed. From our Welcome Luau at Coconut Grove on Friday evening and the beautiful Ceremony at Turtle Pointe, to the Cocktail Reception at the Tennis Pavilion and the elegant, tented Wedding Reception at The Plantation on Saturday, culminating in a Farewell Brunch at the Paniolo Lounge on Sunday—each detail was flawlessly carried out. If you're considering a destination wedding on the Big Island, we wholeheartedly recommend partnering with both the Fairmont Orchid, and Molly Johnston of Bliss In Bloom. They are true professionals, and thanks to their efforts, our son and daughter-in-law's special day was everything they dreamed of and more.
