First Vendors to Book When Planning Your Beach Wedding in Maui Hawaii
After you get engaged, things can become a whirlwind very quickly. From booking the perfect venue to determining your budget and choosing a date – it’s a lot of planning. While during your planning, maybe you’ve decided to plan a beach wedding in Maui, Hawaii. As a wedding photographer in Maui and full-time resident, I understand the excitement and dream of getting married here. Maui is filled with adventure, breathtaking scenery, relaxing beaches, and an opportunity for memories to last a lifetime. However, knowing what vendors to book and where to start can be challenging. I’ll guide you through my top three vendors to book during the planning process. Hopefully, this will get you and your partner off on the right foot and ease some wedding planning stress. Let’s dive in!
Maui Wedding Photographer + Videographer
First on your wedding planning list should be finding the perfect photographer and videographer team for your day. Booking a team that lives full time in Hawai’i will ensure you receive all the best location tips for your special day. After the wedding day, there isn’t a whole lot you get to take from that day. Everyone goes home, and the party is over WAY too quickly. However, photos and a wedding video are tangible memories you can hold closely for the rest of your lives. As a Maui wedding photographer and videographer team, we, like many other photographers, fill our schedules very early in the year. It’s essential to start contacting photographers when you decide to get married here. While it may seem early, this will give you the best chance of getting your dream Maui wedding photographer + videographer team. Pro tip – support Hawai’i small businesses by hiring vendors who LIVE on the islands!
Book Your Florist for Your Beach Wedding in Maui Hawaii
Next on your list should be a florist for your beach wedding in Maui, Hawaii. Many couples opt for a simple and elegant ceremony on the beach and may not even think about flowers. However, I would encourage couples to reach out to local florists for bouquets and boutonnieres, at the least. Throughout your wedding planning, your vision and dream may change; having a florist on your vendor team from the start is a great way to ensure you get precisely what you want for your wedding day.
For couples who book with us for photography or videography, we have gathered a list of the top vendors on the island to help them in their search!
Wedding Officiant
Lastly one of the most important vendors to book right away? Your officiant. Like any other vendors, there are plenty to choose from. However, each officiant will do things slightly differently. You must begin your search for the perfect officiant early to find someone who fits your needs and is someone you align with. While the majority of the ceremony and wording will be the same, you must find someone you want who can create a space for emotional vows and beautiful commitments. An officiant is the one that brings the whole event together! When you book our team, we provide all of our favorite officiants in our vendor list.
If you and your partner can sit down together and begin the planning process of at least these three vendors, you’ll be in a great spot! Wedding planning and engagement is a sweet time and should be enjoyed. Try to relax and enjoy the newly engaged bliss!
