Maui Wedding Planners -- 10 Tips for Selecting the Right Hawaiian Coordinator

If you are thinking about getting married on Maui, or anywhere in Hawaii, you will probably want to read a new article that my husband John Souter wrote and put up on our website. It's called: "Maui Wedding Planner: 10 Tips for Selecting the Right Hawaiian Coordinator."

I think he did an excellent job on the article, giving the kind of insight that only someone who knows Maui weddings inside and out can offer. So many articles (and websites) from people in our business tend to candy coat everything. John has specifically pointed out some of the issues which you should be aware of and how to make sure that you get a good reputable Maui Wedding Planner. Let me quote for you just two of the better points he makes:

"Point 1: Select a wedding planning company located on Maui.

"There are actually wedding coordinating companies who are trying to coordinate weddings on Maui from Oahu or even the mainland. These companies, inevitably, will have to "farm out" the onsite coordination of your wedding to someone here on Maui. That means they act like a middle-man, and generally have to charge higher prices. But most importantly, they will not be able to effectively follow-up with your wedding if anything goes wrong. The larger your wedding, the more likely this will be true. Can you imagine them solving a large problem long distance? Make certain, before you book, that your Maui wedding planner is indeed, on Maui.

Point 2: Make certain your Maui wedding planner will actually be at your wedding.

"There are cut-rate Maui wedding companies who only perform front office services. They book a minister, a photographer and maybe a videographer to do you wedding, but they don't send a coordinator to oversee everything (because that would cut into their competitive edge). If no on-site wedding coordinator will be showing up, who will make certain that everyone knows what they're doing? And if for some reason, one vendor (like the minister) is late or heaven forbid, does not show up at all, who will pull everything together by getting a backup? Unless your wedding only involves a Maui minister, and no one else, you want to be certain that a Maui wedding planner will be in attendance when your ceremony is performed.
