I’ve been getting a lot of wedding inquiries regarding all-inclusive Hawaii destination wedding packages.\u00a0 These curious and potential customers are shopping for a package that includes everything.\u00a0 A package that covers not only their wedding, but their air, hotel, food, rental car, entertainment, and here’s the kicker – unlimited drinks.\u00a0 They are seeing these packages pop up on various websites to craigslist.<\/p>\n
Does it sound too good to be true?\u00a0 Yup.<\/p>\n
Those packages are scams!\u00a0 \u00a0If you can get all of what I just mentioned for under $1000 per person, that’s pretty much a miracle, pretty much – impossible.\u00a0 More so, if any company offers anything similar or close, it’s impossible.\u00a0 \u00a0If you see them, run.\u00a0 Air prices rise and drop like bitcoin, restaurants prices around Oahu are never set or uniformed, alcohol is expensive; how can one company every offer to pay for everything?\u00a0 It’s impossible.<\/p>\n
Cruise ships can offer packages that offer everything because they control the entire economy when you’re out to sea.<\/p>\n
With that being said, there are a lot of other scams out there that you need to be aware of.\u00a0 Such as the wedding company that doesn’t show up, to the wedding company that doesn’t deliver on the quality that they advertise on the net (boy there’s a lot of them out there!)\u00a0 The best way to swim through all the crap is by looking at a wedding company’s reviews and portfolio.\u00a0 \u00a0What you’re looking for is consistency.\u00a0 Consistent good reviews, consistent good photos, consistent\u00a0good videos, etc..etc..\u00a0 If they are active on social media, that also helps.\u00a0 \u00a0That way you know they are alive and kicking.<\/p>\n
Customer service is a biggie, of course.\u00a0 \u00a0Phone calls, emails, should be returned promptly.\u00a0 \u00a0If they are slow, there could be one or two reasons.\u00a0 One, they are just busy.\u00a0 Two, this is not their fulltime job.\u00a0 \u00a0Oh wait, one more reason.\u00a0 They’re a scam.<\/p>\n
Be careful out there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
