Hello.. my name is Valerie...and my FI and i are planning  a Maui destination wedding in Jan 2012.   there are so many places to choose from.. i have a question...do you pick a wedding coordinator after you have picked the ceremony and reception place or do they help you find one within your budget?  I've spoke with Lena @ belle destination weddings

Thank you,
Valerie

    I had mine picked out before I ever spoke with a coordinator.  They know all the locations, and if you fall for one it's worth it to ask them about it as they are familiar with the folks who manage the venue.  I have been in love with my venue for years, so there was no way I was going to change it!!

    In our case we're having a super small wedding on a public beach, so the coordinator helped us with their expertise for a nice, secluded spot.

    But definitely if you have your heart set on a venue, let them know!

    I had most of mine planned prior to hiring the coordinator. I just realized I wanted someone to deal with the set up and details rather than putting it on family. She has been a tremendous asset as things have changed as we moved along. 

    Welcome and congrats

    We also picked out the location before hiring a coordinator. We are using Deanne from Precious Maui Weddings. She has made this sooo much easier! Good luck!
