The sun just peaked up over Haleakala-

Good morning from Maui-

Gorgeous day- nice cool 67 in Kihei with not a cloud in the sky and the birds are singing and the fragrance of Plumeria is just everywhere this morning. We still have a few more months of the Plumeria trees blooming, what a great reminder as we say here in local talk "lucky we live Hawaii"

What a great day to be married!

A question from an upcoming wedding just came in that is very important and applies to every wedding whether it is just the two of you or several given and chosen family attending.

Q: We have one concern we are hoping that you can help us with. Our party is staying up in Ka'anapali for the long weekend and we were a little concerned about the drive from Po'olenalena and the restaurant after all of the festivities. We don't want any of our guest to be to intoxicated to make it back to the hotel safely. Should we switch to a more northern beach? Is there one that you recommend? Or, should we hire a limo bus to transport us all safely?

A: Honestly, there just are not any locations on the West side that are accommodating for that many guests and give us any privacy- I’ll do a wedding in the middle of a mall, I love celebrating love anywhere- but it is uncomfortable for the couple and it is also a bit difficult for vendors to do their thing (i.e. musician, photographer etc.) so Po’olenalena really is the best choice unless… you secure a private location and the cost for that can be quite high- upwards to $1,000.00 on the West side.

We can absolutely accommodate the transportation needs with our limousine company- they have several options. I would have the two of you and up to 6 other guests in a stretch limousine and the rest we can have either Cadillac Escalades, or vans that can carry I think up to 10 each. Then let everyone get plowed safely (no sexual pun there I promise).
