Hawaii Wedding Vendors Unite
Words by Jennifer SteinPhotos courtesy of Karma Hill Photography
What happens when Hawaii wedding vendors unite in paradise? Magic.



The ladies at LA-based Be Inspired PR decided to bring their trademark Tassels & Tastemakers event to Maui, as their first ever traveling destination event for the wedding industry! The best of the best from the Hawaiian Islands came together in Maui to network, support each other and work together. Tassels & Tastemakers gives wedding vendors a chance to forge new relationships, take a night off of work and celebrate the industry.
The inspiration for the event was a tropical-chic vibe, in all hues of pink with pops of yellow and gold. Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa, situated on famed Ka’anapali Beach, played host during the sunset event.
The tagline for the party was "Tropic Like It's Hot," and bright colors paired with modern furniture let the backdrop really be the focus! With endless ocean views and the sun setting over the horizon, the atmosphere couldn’t have been more perfect to foster fun, relaxation and collaboration. Guests were invited to take part in a DIY styling table, where they could create their "dream table settings" from a variety of chargers, napkins, flatware, glassware and plates. What's a wedding event without some creative Instagram styling?!
When the sun went down, it was all about the food stations, candy bar, custom cocktails and dance floor. To get an inside look at the event, check out the video below by Stephan Boeker Films!
