Hi Friends, I’m back home now so it may be easier to get you caught up on our Maui Destination Wedding.

The Rehearsal Dinner, a Luau that would take place outdoors under the Hawaiin stars, buttttt it was drizzling all day long. Melissa who is my right arm, said “Mindy you have to make the call, inside or outside?” I felt here we are in Hawaii and we have to have one event outdoors! So I said a prayed and the client said stick a sissor in the ground and it won’t rain!

I was loading the last few guests on the shuttle and next thing that came over the walkie “Ummmm Mindy it is a down pour what should we do?

I must say this was the first party ever that I didn’t have an area of protection or bad weather plan… so where did the guests go? Some ran in the bathrooms and ofcourse  the photographer got fab photos of that. But most of them took a napkin put it over their heads and enjoyed themselves! I have never experienced a crowd with better attitudes and  sense of humor. My dream guests…The Luau went on, the hula dancers and fire thrower were a great hit and I looked up to the big guy in the sky and said Mahalo

The only thing that didn’t survive was my camera…sorry for the blurry pictures but maybe you can make out some of the hawaiin decor. My favorite was the Tiki Bar and the vintage colored glass weights hung with rope  from the thatching…that picture is not good but use your imagination.

When the guests got back to their room they had a darling “turn down gift”

A Weekend Survivor Kit! I took pictures for you to see the contents… very cute and the guest not only laughed but actually had to use some of the contents. Especially the foot soak!
