“Words cannot describe how grateful we are to you. Thank you for holding our hand and walking us through this process every step of the way. We are eternally grateful to you and feel like we won the lottery. Thank you so much for everything! We love you!”

“Richel, I’m obsessed with you- seriously felt like I was at a celeb wedding! I woke up and I can legitimately say that my wedding was the BEST day of my life. Richel I don’t even know where to start so I won’t until I find the words, but please know that I know you went above and beyond for me- like way above and beyond! I will find a way to thank you and I hope you know what our wedding meant to both of us and it wouldn’t have been possible without you.”

“I can’t stress enough to other brides how crucial it was to have you and For the Good as part of the wedding. It is such a huge task and so overwhelming for a bride to coordinate a wedding and also be a key part IN IT. Chad and I were running around and making sure photos and video were good on their shots, talking to guests, remembering to eat and drink...I just could not have done all of that and also remember what our timeline is or how to set up this and that. I remember throughout the night I would stop and think to myself, “wow, that looks amazing.” or when one of the girls would offer water or something to eat, I’d think “oh my gosh, that is so awesome.” Chad RAVED non-stop to me and everyone else at the wedding about how amazing and thoughtful it was that the girls had food and a cold beer waiting in the ballroom after our photos. He kept telling me “Melissa, I’m going to faint if I don’t eat something” during our photos so having that there for him was HUGE. Although we were all over the place during the wedding, your hard work and the fact that your team was fantastic does not go unnoticed. It still blows my mind how great you all were—so professional, calm, and going above and beyond on everything. I am left amazed at your work. Thank you again, Richel. We loved every part of our day!!”
— Melissa + Chad
“Thank you so much for making our dreams come true! All the joy, tears, and love our two families shared on our special day would not have been possible without your awesome team. Thank you for all the phone meetings and e-communication to help us keep organized and stay on top of things!”
— Pam + Kyle
“Thank you, thank you! I don’t know what we would’ve done without you! Thank you for making our dreams come true!”

“For The Good Hawaii helped make #hawaiilope all we could ever imagine! The whole team is amazing. My wife and I absolutely appreciate all their hard work!”
— Brandi + Tia
“I had the pleasure of working with Monique. She was absolutely amazing. She was quick to respond to emails and texts. She truly helped to ease my worries and made planning our wedding so easy. She made sure to go over every step of the day and covered all her bases. I could 100% trust her with everything. On day of the wedding, she would send me pictures of the weather (it was a rainy week) and it made everything so much better for me while I was getting ready. She is amazing. I have 0 complaints with their service. Top notch, for sure!”
— Kelcie + Nick
“Ben and I had a wonderful wedding experience and I credit the For the Good Hawaii team (especially Richel) for that. They handled every detail of the process with an incredible level of organization and professionalism that was mind-blowing to us. We could never have done a fraction of what they do! There were a million moments during the process— whether they were telling us they had negotiated a deal with a great vendor, managed the numerous contracts, put together the overwhelming amount of information to manage the day-of details, or even offered to help with a problem we were finding intractable (e.g., guest drama)— that I would tell Ben I wouldn’t have been able to do this without them. With them though, it was easy. As an added plus it felt like we were talking with friends instead of with a business. They were a pleasure to work with, understood everything we wanted intuitively, found us amazing vendors, and ultimately our wedding was a total dream come true. Our family and friends told us it was a blast and they had an amazing time, which is all we could have hoped for and more!”
— Erika + Ben
“We know we have said this to you multiple times, but we want to say how thankful we are to have you coordinate our wedding! You guys are truly the BEST! We love and appreciate you guys and are happy to have made some wonderful friends throughout this wedding. Hope to see you again soon when we visit!”
— Linh + Nephi
“I cannot find the words to fully express how appreciative Wes and I are to have had you by our side this past year. Your gift of unwavering support is all we could have ever hoped for in a coordinator. Please extend our thanks as well to your wonderful team at For the Good Hawaii. At the end of our wedding night, Wes and I looked at each other and agreed that all of the planning, money, and hard decisions through this process was 1000% worth it…it truly was the best day our lives. And we know that success had in large part to do with you and your team’s efforts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!”
— Ashley + Wes
“I will keep sending more brides your way! Thank you for making this day possible. I can;t believe that it’s already done and I won’t be seeing you anymore!! But I’m sure we will keep in touch and I will keep sending more brides your way!!!! Keep doing amazing things and making dreams come true!”

“Nathan and I married in Maui in the presence of 30 of our closest family and friends. All from Australia! I started doing all the wedding planning on my own, but soon realised that I was in to deep. Thankfully, I was quickly able to enlist the help of Richel and their ‘For The Good Hawaii’ team. I was immediately put at ease upon speaking with Richel over viber. I swear that woman does not sleep! There were times that she would be messaging me to cover things in the middle of the night Hawaiian time!! They are definitely highly organised and efficient while always portraying an essence of being calm and in control, which will put any bride at ease. Lastly, it would be the special touches and the lengths they went to to make us and our wedding day feel one in a million. For instance, on Valentine’s Day we received a bouquet of chocolates (arranged all the way from Hawaii!) and as a wedding present they gave us a highlights video of our wedding day, done by their own videographer! We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding day, much to the thanks of the hard work of the FTG Hawaii team! Choose them! You won’t regret it!”

“They Went Above and Beyond. Richel did an amazing job of helping us plan and coordinate our wedding. We live in Seattle, and planning a destination wedding in Oahu posed some challenges. Richel and her team were amazing in making things run smoothly. They are organized and diligent, they have great network of vendors, and they have an amazing team. Our wedding wouldn’t have been as great as it was without them. We wanted to have a coordinator so that our family and friends could just relax and enjoy the wedding day and that’s exactly what happened. I woke up with my husband to be, we were able to jog on the beach and enjoy breakfast. Our friends walked down the beach to rehearse their toasts. Our family hung out on the beach and swam hours before the wedding, who can say that??! All this was able to happen because we knew the girls had everything taken care of. They really went above and beyond what we could have imagined. I am so grateful for all the help that they put into making my wedding day so magical!”
— Thuy T.
“For The Good Hawaii, you all were absolutely magnificent! Thank you for ALL that you did to make our wedding day perfect.... and it was PERFECT!!!!”

“Thank you again to you and your team for helping make our day so enjoyable and successful. Everyone commented on how seamless the entire day was.”

“I would recommend For The Good Events over and over again! Their team was professional, talented, genuinely kind, and made eloping feel like we were living out our wildest dreams. With their expertise, we got the best of both worlds—we were able to invite our immediate family for our elopement while still carving out alone time together. We feel so lucky to have gotten married this way, and we know that by working with them, it made everything more special! They even made the perfect suggestion to take in the moment after the ceremony with a picnic for our family, which turned into one of the most special moments of the day. Throughout this whole process, their expertise was unmatched. Marisa helped us hire the best vendors while we were on the mainland without skipping a beat, and before we knew it, our whole day was planned perfectly! I know they put so much time and passion into every wedding, and their care shows. Hiring For The Good Events was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. They created the most beautiful memories for our lifetime, and for that, we are forever grateful.”

“We originally hired Richel and her team in 2019 for our May 2020 wedding at Kualoa Ranch, and due to the pandemic we moved our date back twice! Richel made that process as seamless as possible. She contacted and rescheduled with our vendors each time we changed the date. On top of guiding us through finding awesome local vendors originally, she also was able to help us retain every single one (outside of the DJ) for our postponed date. (And our DJ ended up being perfect in the end.)
We are from California, and in the months leading up to the wedding we were able to send numerous boxes of little items we hoped to have at the wedding directly to the For The Good offices. This was a huge help considering it was a destination wedding. We had requested a disco ball for our tent, and Richel knew how much we love music - so when it came to the day of our wedding, she surprised us by purchasing a bunch of mini disco balls that they added to the table settings. It was a really nice touch and made us feel special.
Richel has a very calm and welcoming demeanor, it felt like we were supporting a true local small business run by real people. She really helped us feel supported through our years and years long process. When it came to the day of our wedding, her all female crew couldn’t have been nicer and more on top of things.
Weddings can be very high stress environments and I think Richel and For The Good have the right approach to everything. Minimal stress and all Aloha vibes from this crew, I would recommend to anyone getting married on Oahu to consider Richel and her great team!”

“I knew I could trust Richel to take over and she did not disappoint. She helped bring my vision to life. My wedding day was flawless! It was such a pleasure working with Richel and her team at For The Good. She was very professional, helpful in finding vendors and responsive to all emails/texts in a timely manner. I am a big control freak and for me to let go of all the planning was hard but I knew I could trust Richel to take over and she did not disappoint. She helped bring my vision to life. My wedding day was flawless, everything went smoothly. I really loved how Richel and her team were so attentive to our needs during the reception.”

We love you guys!”

“I worked closely with Monique to pull off our dream wedding in only 4 months when we jumped on one of the few remaining 2024 dates available at Kualoa (which serendipitously coincided with my husband’s 40th birthday weekend). She and the whole team at FTG made us feel so well taken care of and everybody they brought on board to work with us was excellent. Their work is beautiful (I pulled almost my entire pinterest wedding board from their portfolio), the vendors they recommended were all wonderful, the food was excellent, everything went above and beyond all my hopes and expectations. The educational videos they offered as a free part of the service were helpful too. It was definitely the most magical and happiest day of our lives. Highly recommend Monique and the whole team!”
— Kim
“We had a great experience with For the Good. We had an initial meeting with them a year before our wedding where they gathered all the information needed, then the month before our wedding they communicated more frequently. Even when I became stressed out about certain details, Marisa was there to offer alternatives and help come up with solutions.
It was so helpful to have a team to organize and coordinate vendors and the day of the wedding. Our wedding day was beautiful and we are so thankful for this team!”
— LYDIA
“I had an amazing experience planning my big day with For the Good. They were the best coordinator I could ask for, especially since I was planning a destination wedding from California. She had all the local knowledge and also was so accommodating with what we had envisioned. She responded to my communications promptly and went above and beyond on the wedding day to make sure everything went smoothly and that my husband, my dog, and I were well taken care of. There were some last minute changes and I trusted her expertise with it - everything came out perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with for this special day!”
