Destination wedding in Hawaii

When planning your destination wedding in Hawaii there are lots of choices to make.

• Which Hawaiian island is best for your wedding?
• How many people will be attending?
• What time of the year should you travel to Hawaii?
• How long will you stay?
• Will you visit a second island for your honeymoon or just stay on the one island the whole time.

As your destination wedding travel agent I can answer all of these questions for you and save you money too!

One great way to save money on your wedding decorations is to BUY your wedding linens instead of renting. You can ship them directly to Hawaii and have them waiting for your arrival. We love Linen Tablecloth for all your wedding linen needs. Not only do they offer great prices and wonderful customer service, they also ship to Hawaii for a reasonable fee. I attended one of my clients weddings recently here on Maui at the Olowalu Plantation house. I took a couple of before and after photos of what a difference it made by adding chair covers, and sashes. Before photo of the huppa. After picture of huppa with blue sash. This only cost
the client less than $10.00. They added a few blue sashes to the huppa and what a difference it made. For more information about weddings linens contact Linen Tablecloth at http://www.linentablecloth.com/

Fun things to do on Maui

5/30/12 Written by Marie Glodt travel agent at Travel to Maui

As a resident of Maui and a Hawaiian travel agent I like to give my clients lots of ideas of fun things to do while they are here. Many things are very inexpensive or in some cases FREE!

This can range from day trips you can do in your car. To great places to have a romantic picnic for 2,  or just sit and watch a great sunset on Maui.

As you can imagine Maui is a beautiful island blessed with wonderful weather year round. One of the many things I love about Maui is it has something for everyone.

Not a water person?  Not to worry Maui has lots of different options for your Hawaiian vacation.

Do you like adventure tours? For example a zip line cruise, or horseback ride, or a helicopter tour.

Love the ocean and want to snorkel on your own? The best location will be depending on the time of day (mornings are best) and the time of the year. Our surf comes from the North during the fall and winter months, and the South during the summer and early fall. So what might be an awesome snorkel spot when your friends were here in December might be a terrible spot for you in the summer.

Another great option is to go on a snorkel boat. Molokini crater is a marine reserve just off the coast of Maui.

Want to see a waterfall up close? Looking for rainbows in Hawaii? Then the road to Hana is for you. This 75 mile drive is best when planned as an all day event. The reason is the road is very curvy, narrow, and often times just one lane.

The best tips I can give you for Hana would be: don’t go if you get carsick, pull over if you get a local behind you (or they will pass on a curve) and pack plenty to eat and drink. And don’t forget to fill up with gas before you leave your hotel!

Another popular day drive would be the dormant volcano of Haleakala Crater. This is a very popular destination at sunrise. But dress warmly as even in the summer this 10,000+ summit is in the 40’s or sometimes colder!

Maui has great beaches! This would include Kaanapali Beach, Makena Cove, Kihei, Big and Little Beaches, Kapalua and Napali.

One of my favorite beaches would be Big Beach in Makena. This is located on the south side of Maui. This means expect big surf in the summer months and use caution as no life guard is present.

As you can see there are many things to do on the Magical island of Maui.

Travel tips for honeymooners to Tahiti

Written and photos by Marie Glodt Certified Tahiti Specialist.

The mere mention of the word Tahiti makes people smile! What is not to love about the islands of Tahiti with their turquoise water, fresh flower leis, world class spas and a laid back life style only the Polynesians know how to master!

Dreaming of an over the water bungalow in Tahiti?

Unlike any other hotel room you've stayed in before, these traditional thatched-roof bungalows are perched above tranquil lagoon waters. In many of the over water bungalows, tropical fish swim below as you look through the glass floor or coffee table.

With all the amenities of a first-class hotel room, here on your private balcony surrounded only by water and sky, you can enjoy both breakfast, often delivered by canoe.

Looking for oceanfront view without being directly over the water? A beach bungalow allows you to walk directly from your bungalow to the sandy beach. Some of the finer properties also include your own pool or jacuzzi.

Trying to keep your costs down on your Tahiti vacation? A garden view is less expensive option while still offering all the amenities the resorts have to offer. Because the Tahitian islands are small and most aren’t densely populated, the garden bungalows offer privacy without the ocean view price.


We also offer an exotic 7-10 day cruise around the islands of Tahiti as an all inclusive option.

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.

Travel to Maui is a Hawaiian travel agency located on the island of Maui. Our specialty is honeymoons and destination wedding travel packages to Hawaii.
