If you are planning your own wedding, not using a coordinator, you will be looking for the perfect church or beach, and perhaps a minister who can give you the spiritual and ritual elements you value.

You will have dozens of choices to make. And, even if you have the support of a planner, you may want to look into some of the details yourself. Maybe you have special wishes you can’t even explain to yourself: “I’ll know what I’m looking for when I see it.”

If you feel that urge to explore, Maui businesses, many of them not necessarily focused on weddings, have a great deal to offer. How about a catered picnic, a special gift for the mother of the bride or thank-you baskets for wedding attendants—something you hadn’t thought of but can’t get married without. Explore here and in the business directory on this site.
