Wedding planners for hawaiian destination wedding – local or destination planner?

My partner and I would like to have a Hawaiian wedding and we have decided to use a wedding planner since we are not based in Hawaii or the U.S. (we live in Toronto, Canada).

We were thinking of hiring a planner based in Hawaii, but a friend recommended hiring a planner here who specializes in destination weddings (she recommended Luxe Destinations).

Has anyone used wedding planners for a destination wedding? If yes, did you use a planner based at your destination or a local planner with experience in destination weddings?
