5.0 out of 5 stars The Only Wedding Planner You need for your Hawaii Wedding, June 1, 2004

No matter where you live, if you're planning to get married in Hawaii you have to get this book. It gives you an easy to use format for every thing you need to know about planning your wedding in paradise. I found almost all my vendors from her book. She has so many options for each vendor category you'll have no problem finding some one that works for you. I loved her stories from couples who had tied the knot in Hawaii. She has dozens of worksheets in the back, suggestions for songs, leis, ethnic customs, beach weddings. The book is filled with interesting wedding tidbits and valuable insight. Whether you hire an actual wedding planner or not, this is the one wedding planner (book) you can't live without!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't hula too much over this book, October 22, 2005

I searched and searched with all of my excitement to find out all that I could about getting married in Hawaii. I had searched many webpages over along with many coordinator's sites and then found this book and purchased it. It did not tell me anything more than what information I could find online already and piece together. Get it if you don't plan on doing any other research, I would just be concerned about using this one source for such an important event.

The most comprehensive resource book for getting married in Hawaii I have found. She lists numerous vendors for every facet of wedding planning...ceremony sites, florists, entertainment, attire, etc. And all of the tips and suggestions are priceless, no matter where you are planning your wedding. If you are getting married, you need this book.
