Did you share a particular drink on your first date? Or a cocktail you like to enjoy together? Don’t feel pressure to do a ‘His/Hers’ but instead an ‘Ours!’” - @crossedkeysestate ⏱️ “Couples should consider when the cocktails are offered and how quickly they need to be served as they choose the complexity of their drinks.” - @luckeleven_events ✍🏻 “Signature cocktails make getting creative with signage a breeze as well, as hand-drawn illustrations, unique fonts, and even quirkier names make for fun visual interest for guests to feast their eyes on.” - @alstonmaygerevents 🥂 “During the reception, consider having a short toast or sharing a few words about the inspiration behind your signature cocktails.” - @sheffproduction KEEP IN MIND: “Many venues and/or caterers will charge a per drink fee to account for the increased ingredients they must stock to accommodate the requests for it.” - @eventlightenment Head to the link in our bio for more cocktail insights! 🧉 📸 (see tags)

The Maui event community needs your support more t The Maui event community needs your support more than ever! Although West Maui is closed while the island grieves and heals, the North, South and East sides of the island are open and welcome your business. Many small businesses depend on weddings and visitors and that does not change with the current situation. Weddings support local families and businesses by creating jobs in the community. We understand that there are mixed messages and it can be confusing but please know that the majority of the small businesses and families on Maui are asking for your support and that means keeping your current wedding and travel plans. If you are unsure how your local vendors feel you can reach out to them directly or through your wedding planner. Most have been sharing their thoughts on social media. When you do visit please #comewithaloha. Remember that the island is grieving this tragedy and all the residents and tourists that were lost. Consider asking your guests to donate to one of the organizations to assist those that have been affected by the fire in lieu of gifts. Please stay away from the West side. Driving or sailing past Maalaea Harbor is unnecessary at this time. #comewithaloha #mauistrong

In the wake of the tragedy inflicted on West Maui In the wake of the tragedy inflicted on West Maui by recent wildfires, it is imperative that brides and grooms continue to consider Maui for their destination weddings. Destination I Do has partnered with local Maui wedding planner, @tarynstarkwyant, to spotlight areas of Maui open and eager to host couples and their families and friends! "Lahaina is my home," Taryn says. "I grew up there, I started a business there, I've raised a family there, and I own a home there. It is, in my opinion, the most magical place on earth and what makes it so is the community. The people of Maui are full of mana (power), full of aloha (love). Although Lahaina is closed to tourism at this time, the rest of our beautiful island is open. The Lahaina community, and the community of Maui as a whole, need our island economy to move forward in the wake of this tragedy. While our West Maui O'hana comes together to support each other and rebuild, we will rely on our visitors to continue experiencing the joy of Maui on the other sides of the island. The best thing you can do to help Maui is to come to Maui and enjoy our Southside and Upcountry." Chris Serna of @kckentertainment, another Lahaina resident and Maui wedding vendor, shared his perspective with our team. "Lahaina and West Maui are a proud and strong community as with all the islands. There are many many families that need to continue to work and South Maui needs to keep moving forward to help support all of us... It’s been a week - many people are still missing. Lahaina needs time to heal and needs support but from a distance." To learn more about the open areas of Maui, comment “#mauistrong” on this post for a link to the full article!

There is so much conflicting information about wha There is so much conflicting information about what the residents of Maui need and want when it comes to visitors right now. We’ve heard from wedding professionals and small business owners on the island to determine the best course of action. Here’s what we’re hearing: Maui IS open. And Maui needs you. They are working diligently as a community to adjust and adapt amidst the most unfathomable tragedy. There are parts of the island - the West side and Kula, which are not able to accept visitors right now - but the rest of the island wants and needs to get back to work. They need to support their families. Hospitality is one of their biggest industries and it’s being hit HARD. By canceling plans altogether, it will cost them much more than they’ve already lost. But here’s the thing: come with aloha. Know that this community is grieving. The entirety of the loss hasn’t even begun to really come to light yet and they need compassion, understanding and help. When you go, go with patience and kindness. Volunteer. Donate. Contribute. If your wedding was scheduled to happen on the West side of Maui, please work with your vendors to determine the best course of action. POSTPONE, don’t cancel! Lahaina needs space to recover and heal, however, there are many properties on the South side (and other areas) of the island that may be able to take your date if it is soon, so lean into your vendors to figure out next steps vs. canceling. Areas that are open and ready to welcome you: Wailea Kahului Wailuku Kihei Hana Paia Pukalani Makawao Maui is a treasured, special place…a true paradise with one of the best communities that is showing their resolve and strength in an unimaginable time.

Looking for someone who can capture wedding day mo Looking for someone who can capture wedding day mountaintop moments like these? @jameephotography is your gal! “Weddings are full of so much love and emotion, and it’s those fleeting moments that fuel my passion for what I do,” Jamee says. “It’s taking an intangible moment and making it forever tangible with a photograph. Each moment is what makes every wedding unique. I love building relationships of trust and friendship with my clients so there is a sense of comfort, ease, and fun on the wedding day. I have a sincere passion for photographing weddings and have been blessed to be a part of such special events since 2002. I live in the Denver area and work throughout the state of Colorado, primarily at mountain destinations like Vail, Beaver Creek, Aspen, Keystone, Telluride, and beyond. I shoot digital exclusively with mirrorless Nikon using fixed lenses. Whether nature brings rain or shine, order or chaos—it’s your story, and I’d be honored to capture it.” To learn more about our newest vendor partner, comment “photography” below and we’ll sent you a link to her site! 😍

Natalia Brown of @nationaldebtrelief shares some of her expertise below: 💵 “Before getting married, it’s important to understand what your financial goals are independently and together as a couple when saving for a house, children, retirement, education, etc.” 💰 “If you’re entering a marriage with debt, it’s important to understand and agree on a plan for how the debt is going to be managed to ensure both parties are on the same page about their joint financial responsibilities.” 📈 “Creating a budget together will help give you both a real sense of what’s left over after all bills are paid and the opportunity to discuss how it should be spent.” Comment “more info” for a link to the full article on destinationido.com!
