Maui’d Forever, Hawaii’s premiere wedding planning and coordination company is dedicated to being an effective and cost effective way to provide for ones entire Hawaii wedding, reception needs. They have partnered up with Tom Barefoots Tours providing an activity agent that gives experienced advice and discounts on most of Hawaiis activities.

They have just released a new YouTube video that shows an experience anyone traveling to the Island of Kauai Hawaii should experience. The activity in the video is an excursion provided by Kauai Sea Tours. It is a regularly scheduled boat tour to the Napali coastline which is inaccessible by car. One can do a several day hike over dangerous terrain or one can take a boat to see this uninhabited coastal wonderland. The video shows the Napali morning snorkel which allows passengers to swim in pristine waters. This is another in a series of informative videos.

With these ongoing video productions Hawaii activity clients can accurately preview what they are getting involved with. Getting to Hawaii is usually a long plane ride and a costly vacation and many prefer not to waste valuable time and money doing an activity that is just not right for them. These previews help prevent these types of mistakes. Mauid Forever clients also get an experience activity agent to assist them in the process of determining how they want to spend their time and money.

These agents have experienced many of the activities personally. Maui’d Forever suggests to their wedding and vow renewal clients that they preview the activities they think they might enjoy with links to YouTube videos or the profiles with pictures on their website.

This expert advice is one of the reasons why Maui’d Forever selected Barefoot. Most of the activities they provide are done so at a discount. So with the ability to reserve most any activity on any island at a discount with expert advice was what swayed Mauid Forever to work exclusively with Barefoot. The clients are given a discount code (#1659) which they use when they speak to their agent. The discounts are already calculated into online sales for those that want to self book on the website.

Mauid Forever provides the link and code for those that use any of their wedding or vow renewal packages. They can do these packages on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii.

Maui’d Forever is now offering beach area weddings with the ability to offer a last minute permit. The advantage to this new offering is that one can pick their wedding or vow renewal location after their arrival on the Island.

The State of Hawaiis, Department of Land and Natural Resources started requiring permits for beach weddings starting in 2008. At first this outraged many in the Hawaii wedding industry especially the wedding planners and coordinators who were used to just going to the beach and doing a ceremony.

The regulations also restrict the activities of what can transpire at one of these beach weddings. Prior to 2008 beach weddings were unrestricted and often had flower arches and chairs set up on the sand. This is no longer allowed. Many florists and equipment rental companies were left with inventory that cannot be used.

These regulations are only for beaches and up to the mean high tide line. So to bypass the regulations and accompanying fees many Hawaii wedding planners have chosen to do their beach weddings at beach parks or just on the other side of the mean high tide line.

Most destination wedding couples traveling to Hawaii dream of having their wedding on a beach so a permit is a must. Since the public became aware of this issue it put a little bit more stress on them since it is very difficult for individuals to obtain permits. it is not only difficult but costly and time consuming because one must obtain liability insurance to be able to purchase a permit. Wedding planners such as Maui’d Forever offer permits with all of their wedding packages to help alleviate that stress.

Those same couples often fret that the beach selection they make for their wedding is just not the correct choice for them. Maui’d Forever is offering the ability for the couple to get a last minute permit enabling them to arrive on the Island and search for themselves what beach they prefer.

The only caveat to getting the last minute permit is that it must be within a certain geographical range. The wedding vendors such as minister and photographer are scheduled at the time of booking and are told time and location. Since many of them do multiple weddings in a day they need to know where and when the ceremony will take place.

The policy Maui’d Forever has adopted is to allow the couple a 30 minute driving window between a chosen location. That way the vendors know at most they can plan for half hour drive in any one direction. The couple is advised on a suggested location and once on Island given directions to the alternatives. They are then instructed to call Maui’d Forever to get the permit for their choice and the vendors are then emailed a copy of the permit. This will help alleviate some of the stress of a destination wedding.

The company operates on the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. They use over hundreds of different wedding vendors and still find the need for additional quality photographers.

Jana Rothenberg, Hawaiian Style Weddings Director announced that “We are delighted to offer photographer Bob Brown’s excellent photography on the Big Island of Hawaii. Bob has agreed to work with Hawaiian Style Weddings for our Kona Kohala Coast Weddings.”

Bobs company is Eye Expression Photography, based in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island has been in business since 2003. Bob has traveled throughout the Hawaiian Islands and around the world photographing everything from weddings to torch runs; his photography has taken him to 5 out of the world’s 7 continents.

On the Big Island, Bob is a preferred vendor at a half dozen resorts including the Four Seasons Resort at Hualalai. Coming up on 10 years in business he has shot a variety of weddings, from celebrity weddings to weddings featured in Modern Bride and on the Lifetime Network. His experience, friendliness, photo journalistic style, and ability to capture and create images that stand the test of time earned him a “Best Of Weddings” from The Knot and consistent five-star ratings from brides.

Eye Expression Photography has had a lot of experience in high pressure situations, offering professionalism and fun with his wedding, portrait and commercial clients. Bob says I will always remember hanging out the side of a helicopter taking photos of sharks, flying down into a remote valley to capture a proposal, and the time the 4 year old ring bearer dug a hole and buried the couples rings.

You can preview Bobs work on the Hawaiian Style Weddings website. He is available with any of their wedding and vow renewal packages.
