From the sunset.
And every decision feels exciting.
Where stress is kept as far off as the sunrise
Where you wake late with the sound of the ocean outside your window, temperate trade winds blowing through and a relaxed call to brunch with a mimosa (or two). Unhurried, you enjoy the process of getting ready.
As the sun sets across the horizon, lighting the path to you across the ocean, you say, “I do”. Lanterns glow, guests chatter and servers bring out the finest cuisine of freshly caught fish, local delicacies and decadent desserts.
Finally, you escape away, back into your little slice of Hawai’i with your new partner for life. And only now do you realize it’s finally paradise.

Collis Co focuses on curating the most exclusive and radiant venue locations, bringing together the finest chefs for culturally inspired cuisine and collecting the most luxurious decor for a one of a kind experience.
We work with our clients having their dream destination wedding across the islands of Hawai’i, Maui, Oahu, Kauai and Lanai.
Developing incredible, multi day celebrations where guests are catered to, wedding couples are celebrated and unforgettable memories are born. Our planning covers the entire scope, where our couples only have to decide the fun details - which of our incredible venues they love the most, what type of cuisine should be featured and what kind of band will be playing. Each event is designed to inspire love, connection and gratitude while being entertaining, fun and relaxing.
Maurisa Collis, artist owner and planner for Collis Co, believes everyone should live their lives in love.
To be deeply, irrevocably in love each and every day is a sublime experience. To view each day as a romantic overture, where your beloved’s voice, presence and embrace never stop being the thrill they were when you realized “This person is for me.” is an indescribable blessing.
Now, Maurisa creates only deeply bespoke and powerfully personal celebrations of that love.
(SUNSET)
There was just something in the way
The golden sun set across the ocean
Lit you aflame, cast you gold
And I realized, I must be Midas
Because only he could be
As obsessed as I
For you
I am beyond grateful for Collis Co! From the very beginning, Maurisa makes you feel so comfortable! She really puts your mind at ease! She has this calming and positive energy that helps sooo much in the planning process.
I could ask her for anything and she would always help me without hesitation and with a smile on her face. Our wedding was an absolute dream! Maurisa coordinated our wedding day with her assistant Anna and everything exceeded our expectations and vision!
They were both amazing to work with! So sweet, thoughtful and organized! I truly loved them and miss them already! Our wedding day will live in our hearts forever! A genuine and profound THANK YOU!
There are truly no words to describe how incredible Maurisa is. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking. To start with, she only had one month to plan our wedding due to the Maui fires. Maurisa stepped in and we immediately felt at peace. She was not only able to find us a new venue with only one month’s notice but it was literally everything we’d imagined and more.
Truly a dream come true. She was available any time we had a question, was clearly experienced in her role, professional but with a warm & friendly energy. She helped coordinate with our guests and all other vendors. There wasn’t a single detail out of place and on the most important day of our lives we were able to just be in the moment because of her leadership, skill, and professionalism. We are forever grateful to her for this. If we could work with her for any event in the future we would gladly do it.
Maurisa was our wedding coordinator and I genuinely cannot thank her enough. My husband and I wanted to take the easy way out of wedding planning and Maurisa made it happen. We had our entire wedding planned in less than a dozen emails.
She is so organized and on top of everything - we had very little we HAD to do. She knows how to make a day magical. She understood our wants and our vibe and made it happen. The Day-Of was so seamless, it literally felt like “this is naturally when we could move on to the next thing” and we were exactly on Maurisa’s schedule. I genuinely don’t know how she did it, but it was absolutely perfect.
Maurisa is also just an absolute gem of a human, unbelievably kind and thoughtful. Ready with a steamer if you need one last minute or reassurances that everything is taken care of. I wholeheartedly would recommend her for anyone looking for an amazing wedding planner.
We are so thankful we found Collis Co to be our wedding planner/coordinator! We are from FL and planning a destination wedding on the Big Island was so easy because of Maurisa!
She is extremely professional and extremely easy to work with! Every time we got off a phone conference with her we immediately felt less stressed because we knew she had everything covered for us!!
I 1000% would recommend using Collis Co! She really did make our wedding dreams come true!! She also made it easy to work with other vendors and led us to the most amazing florist! She knows her stuff and again we are extremely thankful we found her and chose her to be our person!
Thank you Maurisa!!
