The Hawaii Destination Wedding Package Scam: Buyer Beware!

I’ve been getting a lot of wedding inquiries regarding all-inclusive Hawaii destination wedding packages.  These curious and potential customers are shopping for a package that includes everything.  A package that covers not only their wedding, but their air, hotel, food, rental car, entertainment, and here’s the kicker – unlimited drinks.  […]

Philadelphia Eagles Win NFC Championship!

We don’t have a professional football team in Hawaii, so the story behind why one fan chooses to follow a certain team can be rather interesting.  For me, I started following the Philadelphia Eagles back when Randall Cunningham was the quarterback.  That was back in the early 1990’s when the […]

FROM THE ARCHIVES: It’s 2018 and My Oahu Wedding Package Prices are Not Changing

Every year, companies always find an excuse to raise prices.  I remember in high school, every year, the price of a soda would go up by 5 cents.   By the time I graduated, soda was 20 cents more!  Hey for someone with only a summer family job, that was a […]

Nuclear Bombs, Weddings, and Hawaii

The State of Hawaii is a rather small State but we sure do make a big splash!  I obviously have a bias, but we’re in the headlines – a lot.   Did you hear that Jumanji was shot in Hawaii and it outperformed The Last Jedi!   And oh, that ethernet, you […]

“Mentally Raped” lesbian couple sues bakers & wins $135k

Aaron and Melissa Klein refused to bake a lesbian couple a wedding cake because it conflicted with their religious beliefs.   Not surprisingly, instead of just getting sued for the value of the wedding cake, they were sued for $135,000 because the incident caused that couple to gain weight and they […]

Star Wars Movie Review.

The Last Jedi (Spoilers) My Review

Before I begin, full disclosure,  I am a Star Wars fan.   I own a lot of memorabilia, my bed was draped in Star Wars sheets, I had the toys.  As an adult, I have lightsabers – Yeah, I’m pretty geeky.   But I’m not the nerd who reads all the books. […]

Big Waves North Shore

Hawaii Winter Beach Weddings Equal Big Waves!

Today, we had humango waves on the North Shore of Oahu.   Thirty to Forty feet!  Just to put things into perspective, the light pole in front of your house is most likely twenty feet high.  Can you imagine a wave twice as big as that?  Talk about “holy toledo batman!” Big […]

Recommendations and Advice: Luaus and your Wedding in Hawaii

I would say that close to all of my clients, at one point or another, find themselves at a Hawaiian luau.   A “luau, ” if you’re wondering, is just a Hawaiian-themed party.  If you’re wondering, a luau doesn’t have to be in Hawaii.  It could be in Afghanistan, it just […]

Do You Need a Wedding Planner if You’re Eloping or Having a Small Wedding in Hawaii?

I’m a wedding planner, and I’ll be quite honest, this job is pretty much overrated.  Wedding planning, for the most part, is glorified waitering.   You order off the menu, the waiter brings what you want (efficiently), end of story.    For something so simple, you would think it would be […]

You’re Getting Married in Hawaii, Now Who Pays For Everything?

DON’T YOU WISH MONEY GREW ON TREES? I’ll just come out and say it.  I don’t care what the circumstance is, money can make or break a friendship.  It can even sever ties between close family members.  I didn’t have to say it – it’s common knowledge, right?  But lately, […]
