The Coronavirus in Hawaii and our concerns for you…
Being asked to be part of your special day, to play a key role in your special Hawaii wedding is a true honor. I approach each wedding as a privilege. You’ve found the love of your life and you’re ready to marry and walk the same path in life. You’re ready to elope in Maui and feel the sand between your toes…
And then the world goes into a panic. Unlike anything we could have predicted.
Many of you have questions and I encourage you to contact us. We’re happy to help alleviate concerns and help you plan for something special in the future. We believe that we all must have hope and aloha for a brighter future. Looking forward to something will help us all get through this.
Wondering when the Coronavirus might hit Hawaii weighs on everyone’s mind here. Your Maui Wedding Team is diligently washing hands often, antibacterializing the equipment, washing down surfaces every 15 minutes and attempting the 6′ rule between strangers. We are sharing the aloha by watching out for shut-in neighbors, helping the elderly and watching over each others’ families. Our lives are fairly normal notwithstanding those adjustments. The Communities on Maui haven’t gone into a panic mode as it sounds like many places in the World has. Our hearts break as we read the news and hear what you all are going through. We hear your panic and your concerns as we don’t know what governmental changes will be administered next.
So where does that leave your dream of a Maui wedding? Please continue to plan your special day. If you feel more comfortable planning further out, then do that… but please don’t give up your dream out of fear. We will get through this. There will be an “other side”. Let your other side be bright and hopeful and ready for a brilliant future. Don’t wait in sadness and bleakness. You can inspire others with your own hope and optimism.

Please continue to be safe in the way you go about life but don’t forget about your Ohana. Phone calls and Facetime are huge to people self-isolating. Involve them in your wedding discussions. Talk to them about all the incredible adventures you will have on Maui. Just letting someone else know that you are hopeful can be all that is necessary to keep them from going to a dark place also.
