Congratulations, you've decided to get married in Maui......your first question is probably, "now what ??". Here are some great resources, for a wide variety of budgets, to help plan the perfect wedding in Paradise!!!! Hopefully, you can take these resources and have the Wedding of your Dreams !!!!
Finding a Wedding Coordinator:
This, by far, is the MOST IMPORTANT factor to planning a wedding in Maui. It's not like planning to marry locally. You need to find a coordinator that understands the vision you have for your wedding day. And, in most cases, you need to create a bond between you and your coordinator that is really an extension of you and your tastes. Most of your interaction with your coordinator takes place via email and telephone, so you need to establish a comfort level with the person you choose to help plan your wedding long distance. Most coordinators offer packages that include additional services, like photography, cakes and flowers.
Here's a list of recommended coordinators (alpha by company name) that service a variety of locations on Maui.

Photography/ Video (again alpha by company name):
This is probably the single-most important decision to make about your big day. You most likely will not have everyone that you wish could attend, at your island wedding, so a visual record of the big day is, in essence, a priceless memory of your wedding on Maui. There are many different photography styles that can be used.......view the photographer's work.......it will give you the best sense of what your day will look like to others. Also consider what type of format and album you ultimately want.....traditional 35mm and a photo album, or digital color & black/white in a coffee-table style book. There are many options available.
