You may have got tired about hearing all the hoopla on July 7, 2007 weddings. I thought you all might like to hear more about the results. Maui’d Forever has successfully hosted 15 7-7-07 weddings on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. Good weather was had on all 3 islands. We sure kept our vendors busy too. Our first wedding started at 7am with a large group at Makena Surf beach. See some great pictures of this beach by clicking this link.

Most of the weddings were quite simple affairs with a minister, photographer and a few flowers. However, some where our “Extravaganza” wedding which includes a private dinner on the beach, catered by a gourmet chef. See our wedding packages.

Be sure to call us early if interested in 8-8-08. We already have bookings and plenty of inquiries. Call the pro’s at 1-800-871-2758.

It is quite easy to plan a destination wedding to Maui, Kauai or the Big Island. A good wedding planner will have everything you need for your wedding day all set up. You’ll simply need to show up. The more difficult planning issue is when you are having a larger affair with 20 or more guests attending.

That is where a individual wedding website comes in handy. Maui’d Forever will create, at no charge, a wedding website dedicated to YOUR wedding. On your site we will have a picture of the couple and a short story or biography. We will also list all the important events date, time and place. so if there are activities, rehearsals, receptions and the like they can all be listed.

Another aspect of a larger wedding is getting everybody to the Islands and in the same general locale. That is where having your wedding planner also being the groups travel agent is a benefit. Our client web page has travel information, a travel booking engine and personal support to let your guests get to your wedding with ease. See more Hawaii wedding information. Or you can call 1-800-871-2758 for your Free client website. See a sample of the client website.

It’s mid-June here on Maui. Our wedding calendar is getting into sunset weddings starting at 6pm for a sunset after 7pm. South and West facing shores are getting spectacular sunsets. Be prepared for warm weather. Day time temps are getting into the low 90’s and boy does the sand get hot! Those desiring a luau for after the wedding need to consider a grassy park area overlooking the ocean. We have several that also have trees for shade! The sand, unless you are standing in the surf, is just too hot. In any case dress for the occasion. Full heavy wedding dresses and tuxedo wear can add stress (and a little sweat) to your wedding day. Consider lighter wear, go for the “Island” look.

Maui Weddings and Maui Hawaii Honeymoons

Melissa called me from Muncie Indiana, less than a month ago, inquiring about our Basic Maui Beach Wedding Package, and asked if we had an opening on 4/7/07, at sunset. She said she and her fiance Shaun were staying at the Hyatt Regancy in Kaanapali and wondered if there was a location we could recommend close to their accommodations. I sent her photos of Kapalua Bay, and the rest is history. Last Saturday evening at approximately 6:30 pm Hawaiian Minister Cleighton Eaton, pronounced Melissa and Shaun Smith, husband and wife, as one of our talented photographers, Alex Ignath captured the moment. Melissa’s Bouquet, consisted of Dark and Light Purple Flowers, accented with Dark Blues. Shaun wore a Ti Leaf Lei, and Melissa a Soft white Tuberose Lei. Rev Eaton began the ceremony, with the sounding of the Conch Shell, followed by the Ole’ Aloha Chant. It was the perfect evening, everything a Bride and Groom could have imagined and more. The out stretched arms of Kapalua Bay, are waiting and hoping for another perfect evening, for another loving couple to look into each others eyes and say, I do. We would love to help you plan your special day, so aloha and mahalo, Melissa and Shaun from your friends at Maui’d Forever.

Ask most any Maui Wedding professional what their favorite ceremony time is and the answer will be morning. Agnes & Peter became husband and wife at approximately 9:20 am Saturday morning March 31, 2007. Agnes had arranged through us to have her Hair & Make Up done in her room earlier that morning, and looked breathtaking beautiful as she stepped from the car, driven by her fiance Peter. The wind was calm, the colors of the water and sky were incredible, and the crashing waves of a south swell added dramatically to both video and photos. Although I’ve witnessed hundreds on hundreds of wedding, I never take for granted where we live, what we do, and how lucky we are to be involved in such a wonderful business, which brings so much joy and happiness to so many of our Maui’d Forever couples. By the way,if your asking, my favorite ceremony time, it’s morning, you’ll love it.
Aloha & Mahalo
