The
Wedding Belles
Pacific Aisles is a joint venture that started with the combined creative talents of Christina Lei Hassing and Maggie A Campolong. As two of Hawaii’s most respected wedding planners, these ladies have quickly built an impressive body of work. They are now well on their way to building a strong support team, too!
Christina Lei Hassing Born and raised in the Islands, Christina briefly migrated to the
great midwest where she received her business degree from Creighton
University. Creighton nurtured two things in Christina: an entrepreneurial
spirit and cold feet! Eager to stick those feet back in warm Hawaiian
waters, Christina chose O‘ahu as her permanent playground
and never looked back. When her best friend got engaged, Christina’s
life changed forever. Planning this wedding was the experience that
became the foundation of Pacific Aisles. “I just loved the
feeling I got seeing everything come together perfectly as planned
for the newlyweds. It’s just a magical place in time where
everyone is relaxed, everyone is feeling good and everyone is having
a blast, and I was thrilled to have made that possible for them.”
So, Christina got chicken skin for the last time, and her extensive
experience in catering, banquets, event planning, marketing and
business management was born into a new adventure: Pacific Aisles.
Maggie A Campolong
A native
New Yorker, Maggie knows what it means to take a plunge. After relocating
to Hawaii and immersing herself in the Polynesian culture, she has
seen the intrigue of the islands as a mainlander, and has inherited
the love of the islands as a resident. Maggie is formally trained
as a graphic designer and photographer, earning her BFA from upstate
New York’s Alfred University, School of Art and Design. It
is this artful eye and love for the idea of love that has drawn
her to weddings. “To be able to bring my creative nature into
play while helping couples realize their fantasy wedding day is
an amazing buzz. Designing weddings and events has become this incredible
artistic outlet for me." Maggie has also started designing
custom letterpress invitations for select clients, really impacting
these wedding visually in EVERY aspect. Recently Maggie hit the
trail again, paving her way to Seattle and opening up the first
West Coast Pacific Aisles office!
