Maui Wedding Planner: Why You Need One

Many Maui Wedding Planners are offering small, inexpensive weddings at bargain prices. But usually, those weddings don't come with on-site coordinating. You are left to find the Maui wedding site yourself, where you'll typically meet the minister (who will have a couple of leis). And in some cases, your Maui wedding photographer will also show up at the wedding site (depending upon what you've ordered.

The problem is what happens when something goes wrong? In our 8 years of planner and coordinating Maui weddings, we have seen just about everything go wrong. We had one minister a few years ago who was normally very reliable, then he simply did not show up. We have had cakes implode on us. Florists have forgotten to give us boutenaires (actually, that happened again, just last night). Couples have gotten lost and gone to the wrong beaches. We've seen videographers come to the Maui wedding (not our company's wedding) and there only camcorder was not working. We've had a downpouring of rain several times. We've had the road closed so that our couple couldn't get to the wedding site on time. I've seen tables upended by a gust of wind and the glasses broken.

I could go on and on . . . because we've been doing Maui weddings for so long. The interesting thing is that most of the problems we've seen have happened when we have been hired by other companies. We always have a back-up plan on everything we do. For example, we don't want to be caught with an equipment failure, so my husband always has a back-up camera just in case his regular goes down. That's just the way we do business.

We usually don't put the glasses out on the table anymore before the wedding (because of past experience). But we alway have back-up glasses and tableware . . . just in case. We check and double-check everything. And in the event that something got missed, we have a back-up plan to solve the problem (like when the florist forget to give us the groom's bout last night -- we immediately called her and returned for it).

In so many cases, we've had problems which we've solved and the couple never even knew that anything was wrong. That's the way you want it to be, so that all you have to do is concentrate on each other and getting married.

Because problems inevitably do happen, and all the more if you're trying to coordinate your own wedding to save money. A Maui wedding couple is just plan smart to make certain that they hird a Maui Wedding Planner to make everything happens just the way its supposed to. But, of course, you do want to make certain that your Maui wedding coordinator knows how to have a back ups in case there are any problems. That way, you don't have to worry and fret if everything is going to go okay.

With the 1200 plus Maui weddings we've planned, it is truly nice knowing that the vast majority of them have come off without a hitch. You deserve to have that kind of Maui Wedding Planner.

I can't imagine planning a wedding in Maui without someone on the Island that I knew. You sound like a life saver!!

I know that weddings require a lot of planning to make that perfect dream come true. I found a site that I thought you and the brides to be who you are working with might be interested in. The site is by Marcia Wieder and it is www.mauidreamretreat.com. She is also giving away a dream retreat to Maui!!! I KNOW I would love to win that!! Wouldn't that be awesome!!

Thank you for sharing and allowing me to do the same!

May your day be filled richly with blessings and joy,
Gina
