Greetings to you!
I’m Ariel (yes, like the mermaid). My professional journey began in Las Vegas, Nevada—Elvis weddings, anyone? With over 15 years of experience in event planning, I’ve had the privilege of creating celebrations that range from intimate gatherings to large-scale luxury events. In 2019, I launched Aloha & Amor, blending my deep expertise in event production with my passion for designing bespoke celebrations.
After COVID, I returned home to Hawaii and took on the role of Director of Romance and Special Events at Mauna Kea Resort, where I collaborated with major businesses and managed high-end weddings. While that chapter was deeply rewarding, my heart remained with Aloha & Amor, and I continued to grow the business alongside my hospitality career.
For me, wedding planning isn’t just about coordinating logistics; it’s about crafting a fairytale day that reflects your unique love story and feels like ‘home’ as two soulmates begin their journey together. Designing your dream wedding is about more than just beautiful details—it’s about creating memories that you, your family, and your friends will cherish forever, making it truly your 'Best Day Ever.’
After years of working in both destination locations and luxury venues, I found my heart drawn to the Midwest—a place where hospitality is genuine, community matters, and love stories unfold in timeless venues and breathtaking outdoor settings. From the charming small towns to the vibrant city energy of Indianapolis, I’ve found my home here. The warmth, kindness, and traditions of the Midwest inspire me every day, and I’m honored to help couples celebrate their love in this beautiful part of the world.
