Most couples think the first step in planning a wedding is locking in the venue. But here’s the truth: booking your venue first is actually step two. In this episode of A Dream Wedding Maui Podcast, I’m sharing why hiring your wedding planner before you choose your venue can save you time, money, and stress — and make the entire experience so much more enjoyable.

Fresh from a full day of site inspections with one of my couples, I’ll walk you through:

The common pitfalls couples face when booking a venue on their own.

How my insider knowledge and venue relationships streamline the process.

Why efficiency matters: how one couple planned on multiple days of site tours, but with my connections, we knocked it all out in a single day.

The hidden benefits of site inspections — building trust, setting priorities, and laying the foundation for a great planning relationship.

If you’re dreaming of a Maui wedding or just starting your venue search, this episode will give you the clarity to start planning in the right order.
