    We are hoping to use the backyard of a friends. (the house was featured in Honolulu Magazine).

    I told my FI if he wanted to get me wedding present, he could get me a day of coordinator. Over the years (yes ive been knotting that long off and on) that's what most of the brides in hindsight would have done for those who hired a wedding planner.

    My sister and all my besties are in Hawaii so they will be helping a lot. Also, im planning a couple of trips next year in order to check out vendors. I just moved up here a year ago and had wanted to get engaged/married before we moved up preciesly so i wouldn't have to do the planning LD, but then life happened.

    cnj: Way cool, when are u planning on getting married? We are looking at 10.10.10 though nothing is definate. Would be nice to plan along someone in the same boat

    ahh, i just looked up your profile and found your wedding date.  U got plenty of time :)

    as for wedding coordinators.  Ive noticed a lot of hawaii brides use coordinators (i guess cause of the # of destination weddings) so there are LOTS of reviews on them, should be no problem to look at previous posts or create one.

    well, its actually july 17h 2011. i have such bad ocd. i just want to be able to plan and not worry about being last minute...

    i am on the fence about a wedding planner, i might just take ur advice about a day of coordinator.

    i am looking for simple and casual...we are looking at lanikohonua...my FI is from seattle and he actually picked out the place. we can reserve up to 14 mths in advance so i am hoping to get home around that time to take a tour and reserve the place. i am also doing a day wedding. so non traditional but i envison light and minimal fuss...

    what about you? do u have a theme? any color schemes?

    so excited for you!!!

    My wedding ideas are so all over the board. Plan A fell through which was having it in a friend's oceanfront backyard, so now im actually looking at possibly having it at the Outrigger CC.  I think having it a venue like Lani would be much more work/stress cause ur starting from the ground up.  I know the food is good at the Outrigger and set up there is the right mood that I want. But there is one issue about this venue that I am going to actually start a new post on.
