Planning a destination wedding?

Many little girls dream of their “big day” and what that will entail! As they grow older they may fine tune ideas that when you are 7 years old just don’t work when you are 27. Such as a horse drawn carriage in the snow may sound romantic but timing the weather can be a little tricky to say the least.

Another dream is being married with your “toes in the sand.” This vision is easy to have come true.
Especially in Hawaiian Islands where are average weather is 75 degrees year round.

Granted some islands in Hawaii can have a bit more rain than others. This all depends on the time of year and location of your beach wedding.

Hawaii is also a great location for your honeymoon or destination wedding! The key to get the best deals on your Hawaiian vacation package is to plan early!


Here are a several reasons why you should consider Hawaii as an option for your destination wedding or your romantic honeymoon in paradise:

Hawaii is rated as one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world!

The weather here in Hawaii is sunny year round. The average temperature at sea level is 75 degrees.

The Hawaiian Islands are the land of beautiful beaches, lush green valleys, amazing rainbows, cascading waterfalls, world class 4 and 5 star luxury hotels and resorts, plus so much more!

Hawaii is the 50th state and has been for 50+ years
(Buy American and help the economy in the US)!

In Hawaii we use U.S. dollars! That means no worries that the exchange rate may not be favorable, or trying to figure out another countries currency.

Hawaii has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.

The people in Hawaii are amazing! Talk about friendly! Here in Hawaii we call it the “Aloha Spirit!”

Why should you hire a professional travel agent?

Written by Marie Glodt Travel to Maui

In the age of the internet I am frequently asked “do people still use a travel agent?”
My response is “the smart ones do!”

In my years in the travel industry I have found just because something looks good online doesn’t mean that it is going to actually look like that when you check in.

I found that the photos you see online are seldom what you can expect when you check in! Internet photos are frequently taken at “low tide” (when the beach looks empty of people and is at its largest point) or when the room has been recently renovated (but they don’t tell you that not all the rooms look like that, or that last renovation was 5 years ago).

As a travel professional I make it my job to actually tour, inspect and stay at every property we offer our clients.

Working with a travel expert who specializes in your destination will make your travel plans stress free and the vacation of a life time!

“Being a Hawaiian Destination Specialist, and a resident of Maui, Hawaii allows me to know the best properties to fit your tastes and budget.”

“When creating your customized quote we work with the top rated discounted wholesalers to get you the best value on your travel package to Paradise.”

The extra benefit of working with a Hawaiian Travel agent would be our contacts with the management of the property you will be staying. We can also provide tours and excursions to complete your travel plans prior to your arrival in the islands.

Still thinking of shopping online? Please check out these quotes below!
• "The time an agency spends on your behalf may be worth any fees you'll have to pay." Frommer's Hawaii
• “A competent agent takes the time to listen to what you want, and then makes recommendations based on your needs. In fact, good travel agents don't consider themselves agents at all, but "specialists in a destination or travel type.” "They can get you information that can't be found on the Web. They listen more than they speak and then wow you with the perfect trip!”
• “The right travel agent that will save you the most money will have a few distinct traits. First, the travel agent will ask you tons of questions about your plans, travel itinerary, preferences, and flexibility. The travel agent that asks these questions will have a better chance of finding you deals that you can work with!”
• “Without a travel agent you are on your own!” “Asta”
