Everything started at age 9 with a rotary phone, a heavy phone book, and a secret call to plan my parents' surprise anniversary party.
At age 11, a trip to Hawaii with my grandparents introduced me to my happy place. Over the years, this connection grew into countless family and friend trips, a thriving business, and my eventual relocation from California to Maui.
Planning massive youth conventions across the Western US as a teen taught me the hospitality industry firsthand. Managing events for over 400 peers built my foundation in logistics, vendor coordination, and guest care. Today, I bring that same joyful, organized leadership to crafting your perfect wedding day. Thank you, USY!
Event planning has always been my true creative outlet. Even while working in special education, retail management, and personal styling, I was always the go-to person to plan parties, celebrations, and meetings for family and friends.


After helping others, I planned my own Maui wedding in the 1990s using the Yellow Pages and early internet. Local vendors were so impressed by my detailed questions and planning skills that they encouraged me to turn my passion into a professional career.
Since 1997, Celebrations by Tori has grown and thrived through hard work, education, and deep relationships. Tori brings passion and dedication to every unique event, proudly staying in touch with clients from around the world long after their big day.
With nearly 30 years of experience, my passion for planning exceptional weddings remains as vibrant as it was on day one. My deep industry relationships and transparent approach ensure a stress-free process, while my love for creative personal touches allows me to craft a celebration that is uniquely yours.
The evolution from Hawaiian Island Wedding Planners to Hawaii Weddings by Tori Rogers, and now to Celebrations by Tori, has been an absolutely amazing journey! While my business name has grown and changed over the years, my heartbeat remains exactly the same. I have always worked diligently to cultivate an environment rich with kindness, transparency, creativity, integrity, and genuine generosity. Both vendors and clients frequently tell me that what sets me apart in this industry is a rare, perfect blend: my meticulous, Type-A organization skills and appreciation for aesthetic detail, balanced by a remarkably calm, relaxed vibe and an unwavering professional work ethic. No matter where you are in your planning process, my mission is to deliver exceptional service while keeping your experience joyful, stress-free, and beautifully organized.
With over a decade of industry experience, my work has been featured across top television networks, leading wedding websites, and prominent print magazines. As a multi-year contributor to Hawaii Bride and Groom magazine’s "Wedding of a Lifetime," I have proudly donated my expertise to design dream celebrations for deserving couples. From high-profile celebrity events and ultra-luxury galas to intimate barefoot ceremonies on the beach, I bring unmatched vision and execution to every love story.
Sharing knowledge, experience, and resources with you keeps this work fun. We focus on how to merge your unique story into the event details. Every celebration brings together skilled professionals to build a timeless experience that goes beyond your dreams.
