12 Reasons to use a Hawaiian Wedding Planner
Interested in an authentic Hawaiian wedding? Hawaiian wedding planners know the most romantic secret spots, the culture and local customs. And you can find these wedding planners on Hawaii.com.
We all know that the Hawaiian islands are one of the most beautiful places on this earth to have a wedding. But do you know how to make that wedding perfect? That's where a Hawaii wedding planner comes into play. It is always wise to use one of these skilled assistants when planning a Hawaii wedding.
Most major hotels have their own wedding planners, but there are some independent planners as well. Here is what a local wedding planner can do for you:
- Local coordinators know the best sites for the ceremony including beaches, waterfalls, churches and gardens. They also know the capacity, grounds fees and policies of each venue.
- For an outdoor wedding (a top reason to marry in Hawaii, after all), local wedding planners will know the best contingent locations, in case of rain.
- A Hawaii wedding planner knows local wedding officiants, florists, photographers, videographers and limo services. They have connections and can arrange deals unavailable to the general public.
- Local coordinators plan events with vendors in Hawaii every day and know who's reliable...and who is not. They know the pitfalls to avoid and would never book a location or vendor that is ill-suited to your desires.
- A local planner can pre-screen vendors in person and present the finalists to you for your decision.
- On-island wedding planners are familiar with local marriage license and beach permit rules. They can provide all the paperwork necessary to ensure everything is done properly.
- A local coordinator doesn't have to make phone calls from a different time zone or rack up huge long distance phone charges.
- A local Hawaii coordinator can be present at your wedding to help with last-minute details.
- Local coordinators know that the Hawaii's busy season is January through April. (Christmas and New Years are unquestionably the busiest period). If you are willing to marry in the off-season, they can save you (literally) thousands of dollars for the same ceremony.
- The best Hawaiian wedding planning companies have been approved by the BBB of Hawaii - you can check their standing easily and thoroughly. They can also provide local references.
- Want a sunset wedding? A local wedding planner knows that ceremony should begin about an hour before actual sunset. You'll get the best photos, and unlike other parts of the U.S., in Hawaii, when the sun goes down, it's dark within minutes.
- A local planner knows to discourage sunrise weddings, because early morning hours in Hawaii are usually windy and can be very cool, even chilly.
An experienced local planner can make a huge difference, but you'll want to research her carefully before choosing one. The last thing you want is to hire someone who "goes dark" on you. It's impossible to tell from a web site or a photo whether a planner is responsive and professional. A good way to find a reliable one is to visit destination discussion boards on Hawaii.com and ask newlyweds for their recommendations.
