A Few of Our Favorite Things

Over the years, we’ve had the joy of helping couples create beautiful, romantic, and truly unforgettable celebrations. One of the best parts of being a wedding planner on Maui is meeting couples from all around the world and bringing their unique vision to life. No two weddings are ever the same—that’s what keeps the magic fresh and exciting!

To inspire your own big day, I’ve gathered a list of my 10 favorite wedding details that always make an event stand out and leave guests talking long after the celebration is over.

1. Photo Booths

Photo booths never go out of style! Whether you choose an old-school booth, a luxury setup, or a modern selfie station, they’re guaranteed entertainment. Plus, your guests get to take home a keepsake with your names and wedding date printed right on the strip. Instant memories!

2. The Aloha or Love Marquee

Big, bold marquee letters instantly set the vibe and make the perfect statement backdrop. Whether it’s ALOHA, LOVE, or your initials, these glowing letters double as décor and photo ops your guests will be lining up for.

3. Shaved Ice Station

Cake is sweet, but nothing beats the refreshment of shaved ice after dancing the night away. We love working with a local company that serves shaved ice from the cutest old-fashioned bike cart—adorable in photos and made with all-natural ingredients. It’s as delicious as it is Instagram-worthy.

4. Champagne Tower

Few moments feel as glamorous as a champagne tower. Guests gather around as the couple pours that first sparkling cascade into the top flute, and suddenly everyone is cheering. It’s elegant, celebratory, and makes for unforgettable photos.

5. Fire Knife Dancer

Talk about a “wow” factor! Imagine surprising your guests with a private fire knife performance or a full Hawaiian luau show. From hula dancers at cocktail hour to fiery entertainment to kick off the evening, it’s a cultural experience your guests will never forget.

6. Coconut Station

A fresh, chilled coconut on a warm Maui afternoon? Yes, please! Catered coconuts are not only refreshing but also bring the tropical vibes to life. The setup is absolutely adorable, and it’s a great way for guests to cool down after the ceremony while getting the cutest cocktail-hour photos.

7. Neon Signs

There’s just something about neon that instantly makes a space feel modern, playful, and a little bit edgy. At weddings, neon signs aren’t just décor—they’re an experience. Whether it’s your new last name glowing in script, a favorite phrase like “Better Together”, or a custom symbol from your love story, neon signs create a glowing focal point. They light up the dance floor, point the way to the bar, and give guests the ultimate photo backdrop.

8. Flower Petal Toss

There’s something so timeless and joyful about a flower petal toss. Whether it’s right after the ceremony as you walk back down the aisle or staged later for dreamy photos, it adds a burst of color and movement that looks stunning on camera. Plus, guests love being part of the moment!

9. Late-Night Snack or Sweets Station

When the dance floor is still packed at the end of the night, nothing makes guests happier than a surprise late-night bite. Think sliders, fries, cookies, or even a donut wall—the options are endless! A snack station keeps the energy up and sends everyone home smiling (and full).

10. Bridal Send-Off

The end of the night deserves just as much magic as the beginning. A thoughtful send-off gives your wedding a true finale instead of an abrupt ending. Whether it’s bubbles, sparklers, LED wands, or even balloons, it creates that perfect last photo-op and a memorable farewell for the newlyweds.

I hope this list sparks some ideas for your own celebration! If you’d like help bringing these details (and so much more) to life, I’d love to chat.
