And the music is such a small fraction of the cost of your
trip to Maui, compared to how greatly it impacts your ceremony!

All Maui wedding professionals agree... from ministers to coordinators, a wedding "WITH" music is just so much more memorable and incredible! Does Music Really Make A Difference? Please read below what many of the top wedding professionals and coordinators here on Maui have to say...

When planning your wedding, there are many variables and expenses that you are considering. As you are contemplating all of these wonderful wedding services that are available here on Maui, you are probably asking yourself, "What are the most important and the most necessary? Does Music Really Make A Difference?"

"I feel music is the greatest tool we have for creating mood and ambience. It adds romance and elegance. It lifts the ceremony out of the ordinary, beyond just words, and makes it something much more special... expressing so wonderfully where mere words fail."

"Songs that have special meaning to the bride and groom can bring back loving memories of times and places they have shared together!"

"All of our couples have always been so glad that they had music. It adds atmosphere, and extends the ceremony. Those couples that didn't have music almost always reply that they wish they had."

"They have come so far, the music is such a small fraction of the cost of their trip compared to how greatly it impacts their ceremony and their memories!"

"Sometimes, arranging and traveling to the wedding can be very stressful. That "special mood" has sometimes slipped away by the time the ceremony begins. Live music soothes, relaxes and creates just the right ambience and mood of your choosing."

"Many couples say that music helps them to relax and refocus... the ministers love it because it fills in the natural pauses around the vows and ring exchange."

"Music creates and enhances a romantic atmosphere and makes a connection that bridges words with emotions."

"Live music, after the vows and ring exchange, adds a poignancy to the ceremony, a time to emotionally reflect with each other. A couple's "special song" can bring them back to when they first met, first danced together and first kissed. Music offers an emotion that cannot be expressed in words."

"Some couples choose their own special song(s) and that adds even more romance. Having the conch shells blown at the beginning of the ceremony or at the kiss, is even more of a treat. It adds that 'chicken-skin' feeling to the ceremony."

"Music is important because it transports us to an inner place. It touches our hearts and allows us to relax and rejoice. The bride and groom can choose the songs that will most bring the desired effect for them."

Finding the right musicians for your ceremony depends on what type of music you want, your budget, and trusting in your wedding coordinator's recommendation - especially if you'll be getting married in a place to which you are traveling.

Your wedding coordinator is a wedding professional, does many weddings every year - and knows who is reliable and who can deliver a great performance that you'll be proud to have in your photographs and on your video.
