How To Plan Your Maui Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


If you'd rather choose a fantastic destination for your wedding than plan a large event near your home, you aren't alone. Destination weddings continue to rise in popularity because they allow a couple to choose a truly special place for their wedding ceremony. While this is an excellent idea, it also means you have to plan the whole event over the phone or via email and this can be difficult. So, if a destination wedding sounds good to you, think about following some of these helpful tips.

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.

One way to make it even easier is to simply purchase a Maui wedding package or a wedding package from wherever you choose to be married. At Love Maui Weddings, there are many packages to think about, including packaging for those wishing to elope, for couples who will have only a few guests and for couples wishing to invite a larger party of guests. You can choose from a huge assortment of destinations, and there are even some amazing add-ons to consider that will personalize your Maui weeding package.

For example, one package at Love Maui Weddings, called the "Love is in the Air" package, includes the services of a Hawaiian minister, a Hawaiian guitarist or vocalist, a special conch shell sounding, a torch bearing maiden, a drummer or hula dancer, fresh leis for the bride and groom, professional photography, a DVD and several more items. In addition, one of the extra add-ons for this package would be having the bride arrive to the ceremony aboard an 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.

It is nice to create a special wedding welcome package for your guests. Include an itinerary of all the wedding-related events as well as a map of the area. It can be fun to plan a few fun excursions for your guests, if possible. For example, if you are marrying on Maui, treat everyone to a sunset whale watching cruise. Often your wedding planner can help with these types of arrangements, so be sure to ask.
