In this week’s episode, I chat with Corissa, who planned her stunning Olowalu Plantation House wedding all the way from Berlin! From an intimate welcome party at Hotel Wailea’s Birdcage Bar to a whale watch with Trilogy and a heartfelt ceremony surrounded by loved ones from around the world — Corissa’s Maui wedding was filled with creativity, connection, and emotion.

We dive into her thoughtful design vision (inspired by volcanic tones and still-life art), her best advice for other destination couples, and how she and Jason navigated time zones, planning stress, and post-wedding blues with grace and humor.

Whether you’re planning from afar or dreaming of Olowalu, this conversation is packed with inspiration and heart.
