Lena Teboul

As one of the founding members of Moana Belle Events, Lena Teboul heads the Principal Planning and Event Design for each event.  Her passion for creating meaningful, impeccably planned events is inspired by the moments — the quiet breath before walking down the aisle, the expression as one first sees their partner walk down the aisle, the emotion that ripples through a room when love becomes witnessed. Her joy lies in crafting the perfect, idyllic backdrop for these memories to unfold—so couples and their guests can be fully present, enveloped in beauty, and free to savor every second.

Born on the Island of Hawai‘i and raised at the lava’s edge in the town of Volcano, she grew up surrounded by the power of nature. At eight years old, her world expanded when her family relocated to France. Lena spent her youth between Paris and the French Riviera, embracing “joie de vivre,” discovering art, history, food, and the pleasure found in life’s finer details.

Eventually, island life called her home. She returned to attend the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, earning a degree in Communication and discovering her path in the wedding world. In 2004, she moved to Maui and dove headfirst into event planning—a love that has never waned. Today, Lena and her husband, Keith, have built their home on the gentle slopes of Haleakalā, where their bright, curious son Rev plays in their garden and orchard alongside their beloved fur-babies, Dexter and Peaks.

Jane Park-Gonzales

Jane Park-Gonzales is another founding member of Moana Belle Events and works in partnership with Lena to create and coordinate each detail to successfully execute the vision of each unique couple.  Born and raised on the island of Maui, she was gifted a childhood steeped in beauty, quiet rhythms, and a deep connection to nature and the aloha spirit. It is the sense of balance that inspires her work, ensuring that each event feels as natural and alluring as this stunning landscape.

With an education in literature, creative writing, and journalism from the University of Colorado at Boulder, she combines her poetic backgrounds with her training in Culinary Arts & Hospitality Management from the Johnson & Wales University and the Art Institute.

Her greatest joys are her husband, Tristan, and her beloved French Bulldog, Roux. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, cooking and savoring exceptional food, exploring great wines, being outdoors, and disappearing into a novel whenever time allows.

Chelsea Scheffer

Born and raised on the island of Maui, Chelsea has always been drawn to the visual arts—an early passion that naturally evolved into photography. She originally stepped into the wedding world behind the lens of a camera, capturing love stories with an artist’s eye. A few years later, her path led her from documenting celebrations to designing them, and she discovered a deep love for planning. With more than two decades of experience spanning both photography and full-service production, Chelsea is now one of Hawai‘i’s most seasoned and experienced planners.

Her years behind the lens gave her rare insight into the anatomy of a beautiful event: the flow of a moment, the interplay of light and design, and the authenticity that makes a scene feel alive. That perspective continues to guide her today as she partners with couples to curate celebrations that reflect their story—events that are thoughtful, aesthetic, and deeply felt. For Chelsea, the true reward is seeing a vision come to life on the wedding day, knowing she helped create something meaningful and memorable.

Forever an athlete at heart, Chelsea finds balance in long morning walks with her Australian Shepherd, Bronco, weekend soccer matches, and savoring a perfect morning latte with her husband, Christian, and their sweet kiddo, Ry.
