There are many great reasons to consider a destination wedding, especially when the destination is the scenic island of Maui. Not only will you create some incredible and romantic memories, planning a destination wedding can be just as easy (or easier) than getting married near home. Here's some advice for couples that wish to plan an exciting destination wedding ceremony in Maui.

With a faraway destination, the hiring of a wedding planner is absolutely essential. This professional can help with all of the details locally, including securing the location for the ceremony, reserving a spot for the reception, finding an officiate for the service and booking florists, photographers, musicians and everything else you will need. For a Maui wedding planner, give the staff at Love Maui Weddings a call. They have been helping couples plan Maui destination weddings for more than 20 years.

This Maui wedding planning service offers several different packages to consider but also can help you plan out a custom wedding and reception. Packages range from a very affordable $575 package to more elaborate packages that include limo service, helicopter tours and many other exciting options. The $575 Simply in Love package is perfect for those wishing to elope or for couples wishing to have a wedding with 10 or fewer guests. The package has many included amenities such as a beach permit for your ceremony, the services of a minister, beautiful handmade leis for the bride and groom and some special keepsakes.

When it comes to ceremony locations, Maui has much to offer and this will probably be the first decision you make when talking to your wedding coordinator. There are many local beaches that allow wedding ceremonies, but you also could opt to marry at the local botanical gardens or perhaps on a lush, private plantation. Many local restaurants also serve as the site for weddings and receptions; some are located right on the beach or perhaps on a bluff with sweeping sea views. Lahaina has several historic churches where you can exchange your vows, and there are also resorts where you can book the ceremony, the reception and even the honeymoon.

Obviously, the guest list for a destination wedding is usually quite a bit smaller than for a wedding at home. While this certainly can reduce the costs of a wedding, you need to give the guests you are inviting plenty of time to plan for this occasion. Even if it's just going to be a few close friends, your siblings and parents, people will need several months to plan. They have to schedule absences from work, buy plane tickets and book accommodations. You can help by reserving blocks of rooms at a local hotel or resort, and sometimes if you reserve enough rooms, you can obtain a special rate.

After you hire your planner, decide on a location and invite the guests, most of your job is complete. With most of the details set, simply decide on your attire. You might wish for formal ware and a lavish bridal gown, but in Maui, you can also opt for more casual choices. A long sundress could be a perfect option for the bride, and the groom could wear a Hawaiian shirt and dress pants. No matter what you choose, your Maui destination wedding is sure to the perfect start to a happy marriage.
