We live here, Wedding's in Hawaii -- advice?

We live here in Somerville, and my family lives on the East Coast, but my fiancee is from Hawaii (Oahu) and all her family lives there.  So we're getting married in Hawaii.

I'd like to get some help planning the wedding.  I *think* what I'm looking for is a "decor coordinator" here in the Boston area who can help coordinate the invitations, centerpieces, etc etc etc, along with a "wedding day manager" in Hawaii who can help keep us stress free in our limited time in Hawaii (we're arriving there a week before the wedding).

Does anyone here have experience or advice to offer?  Also, any info about rough price ranges would be nice.  I don't have a ton of money to burn, but both me and my fiancee are working professionals in our mid-30s, so I like to think maybe we don't have to quite pinch as many pennies as we used to.  And I'm not sure we've got the time to hand-assemble all the arts-and-crafts stuff any more!

    I would cut out the middle man and just go with the Hawaii wedding planner.  Do some research on the Hawaii board and get references for a great DW planner there.

    I agree with blueyed, where in Hawaii are you getting married? If it is at a hotel, I am sure they do a lot of weddings and can handle all the decor. Or if not, then hire a wedding planner in Hawaii that is good with communication by email/phone. As for the invites, you could save money and do those online or locally. But, I don't think you need a wedding planner here.
