Jane Park is the President and co-owner of Belle Destination Weddings & Events, a luxury wedding planning and design firm based on the island of Maui. Jane began her event planning career in 2005. Jane identified a lack of luxury planning & design services in the Hawaii destination event industry. Focusing on this niche, she formed Belle Destination Weddings & Events in 2008.

Undeterred by the bleak state of the economy at the start of the recession, Jane began Belle with one motto, “Do things the right way the first time around”, setting up her business to grow successfully.

Today, Belle Destination Weddings & Events is one of the most successful planning firms in the industry and was voted one of Hawaii’s Fastest 50 growing small businesses for 2015 by Pacific Business News.
