February 2, 2022

We can’t believe we’ve made it to the end of 2021! What a year it’s been to say the least. We are so happy that we finally could celebrate with so many couples who originally planned to marry in 2020, along with a lot of other couples who always planned for this year. Despite all the stress and uncertainty throughout all the planning because the pandemic’s curveballs, we really do think everything worked out really well in the end. We are thrilled that we helped so many happy couples tie the knot with our guidance! Some small weddings, some very large parties, and everything in between. Some weddings had majorly strict rules in the first quarter, some had hardly any restrictions nearing the end of the year. It’s pretty crazy to think back that everyone had such a different experience based on the location of the wedding and also the time of year they wanted to get married.

For another yearly wedding wrap, we wanted to summarize all of our 2021 couples and THANK all of these amazing couples for trusting Ohana Events to plan their big day. We would not be such a happy, growing company if it weren’t for all of our support and trust from our couples.
