There are several companies in Hawaii that have incredible experience in handling destination weddings. They can typically handle all of the planning including filing papers, arranging a minister, and coordinating vendors.
Many hotels and resorts staff dedicated wedding coordinators and have chapels, gazebos, and reception areas onsite.
The cost of a destination wedding can be fairly affordable. Many are 'packaged' from flower arrangements to limo service. Destination wedding packages can often be customized to fit the needs of the bride and groom.
