Many locals make it a point to stop here on their way to the airport on the return home, but since I was on my way in and barely had breakfast this morning, that would be a good excuse to pick up some doughnuts.
Yummmm...bad for my fitness, but good for my tummy :) (And yes, there were originally six in the box, but somehow two managed to disappear into my mouth, never to be seen again...BWAHAHAHAHA)
I'm here this weekend to meet with some brides-to-be, to network with some wedding vendors, and to have lunch with some local DJs and MCs. Based on the response I got from the recent Hawaii Bridal Expo and the success of Jennifer & Kevin's wedding on the Big Island last October, I may be hosting more neighbor island events in the near future. While other MCs may shy away from hosting neighbor island events because of time away from their day job, I welcome it! After all, since I do this full time, I'm better able to serve my neighbor island clients by offering awesome customer service, which includes traveling to their island to meet them! Besides, any excuse to travel is a welcome one!
Since I'm traveling this weekend, today's Wedding Tip Of The Day is geared towards my destination couples, but could also be applied to local couples with many out-of-town guests.
For all of the key people involved in your wedding (e.g., wedding party, parents, etc.) who are flying into Hawaii, insist that they try to arrive at least three days before the wedding. While scheduling days off may be beyond their control, at the very least they should try. With the delays in air travel these days, the slightest delay can have a profound effect on your wedding. We recently did a wedding for a couple who was traveling from the East Coast. Most of their wedding party and parents were on the same flight that was supposed to come in on the Thursday before the wedding. But due to horrible weather in Chicago (where the flight stopped over on its way west), the flight was delayed for a day. Then the bad weather continued, and the flight was pushed to the night before the wedding. Fortunately, they landed just in time to go straight to the church, get ready quickly, and have the wedding, but needless to say, the bride-to-be was very very concerned up until the limo pulled up to the church and the wedding party spilled out.
Save yourself the terror, frustration, and stress on your wedding day. Make sure your wedding party books their flights early enough so that any delay in the air travel system will be of minimal impact to your celebration!
Travel safe,
