How To Plan Your Maui Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


These days many couples decide to skip having a big wedding and instead plan their special day at a particularly romantic location. You might choose a romantic, scenic island or a special city such as Paris or Rome or even at the edge of the Grand Canyon. A destination wedding definitely can be the perfect way to celebrate your love, but planning a wedding far from home can be tricky. To make it easier, consider some of the following advice.

Planning a wedding anywhere is easier with an experienced wedding planner, but this is especially true if you are marrying at a faraway destination, such as Maui, which is one of the most popular wedding sites in the world. An experienced Maui wedding coordinator, such as those at Love Maui Weddings, can make everything as easy as possible. At Love Maui Weddings, for instance, the wedding planners can handle almost all of the details from finding your minister to securing a special location and all the other details such as ordering flowers, hiring a photographer, finding musicians, setting up the ceremony site and much more.

The staff at Love Maui Weddings even offers several different Maui destination wedding packages. Choosing a specific package can make the whole process extremely easy. You just choose one that suits your needs and go for it. If you want a few extras that aren't included in the package, just ask if you can purchase a few add-ons and really make the whole experience completely personal.

At Love Maui Weddings, there are some very unique add-ons. If you choose the romantic "Love is in the Air" wedding package, many amenities are included such as arranging for a Hawaiian minister and hiring a guitarist or a vocalist as well as hiring a hula dancer or perhaps a Hawaiian drummer. The package also includes the beach location and set-up, as well as some photography, a keepsake DVD and keepsake wedding certificate and a few other wonderful items. If you want to add an extra touch of romance, simply add on an option to have the bride arrive from the sea via outrigger canoe.

One big consideration you must make when planning this destination wedding is how the event affects your guests. Typically destination weddings are small simply because it is a great expense for people to fly out to a wedding and find suitable lodging. For those special people in your life that do make the journey, help them with travel arrangements and see if you can find a discounted rate for your wedding guests at a local hotel or resort. Sometimes if you reserve a block of rooms, it can be a bit less expensive.

Once your guests arrive, have a welcome kit placed in their hotel rooms. This should include all the details about the time and location of the ceremony as well as a reception or wedding brunch or any other wedding party event. You can also include helpful information about the area and ideas for dining and attractions. Planning a fun trip or excursion for everyone can be a great way to say thank you to your loved ones. On Maui, a whale watching boat trip can be an excellent excursion or perhaps attending an authentic Hawaiian Luau. Sometimes wedding coordinators can be a big help with guests, so ask for their suggestions.
