What is your Dream Wedding Location?

 HAWAII

We here at First Class Weddings (FCW) are eager to help guide you through all the stages of the wedding planning process. However, there are some decisions that you must make on your own before we can help you.

Decision 1: Make a final decision on where your destination wedding will be.

You can spend countless hours researching the web and weighing your options ahead of time. To better help you, one site that FCW finds extremely helpful for clients considering Hawaii is www.gohawaii.com. This site will provide you with information on the seven Hawaiian islands and what each of them have to offer. Another site for those of you that may be considering France is www.hautewedding.co.uk. This site is great if you're looking for a European adventure. Finally, if you're wanting to get married in the Rocky Mountains we suggest www.coloradoweddings.com.

Whatever location that you're dreaming of it is important that you decide on a destination location first and focus your attention on this decision as your FIRST priority. This will save you TONS of time and literally add years to your life. Also, we hope that your decision does not rely on finding a wedding planner to help you first, but rather on the amazing destination itself.

Once you decide on a location then you can begin seriously looking for someone to guide and assist you in the State/area that  you have selected. First Class Weddings can then help you determine who will warrant your time and attention in the wedding industry. Keep checking back for the launch of our exclusive directory of qualified professionals.

Offering an oasis of seclusion and tranquility amongst the typical hustle and bustle of the Waikiki area here, couples can choose from a lush garden courtyard or a luxurious tropical lanai for their wedding location set in paradise. Enriching everyday life with its timeless elegance, the Halekulani offers an experience like no other. With world class cuisine and an endless commitment to excellence, the Halekulani remains faithful to ensuring a seamless occasion for both you and your guests. 
 
Kauai – Princeville Resort
With a level of sophistication and elegance unlike anything else found on Kauai, the Princeville Resort is undoubtedly a truly remarkable destination location. Engulfed in the fragrance of exotic flowers mixed with pure romance, the Princeville Resort sits gracefully on Pu’u Poa Ridge, terraced along the bluff facing the picturesque Hanalei Bay.

Here you can choose from a selection of eight elegant garden settings, including one with a koi pond, blushing lotus flowers, and gentle waterfalls washing over black lava rock.

Known for their world class cuisine and impeccable service offering all the amenities of home, the Four Seasons can accommodate any group for both their wedding and reception.

Big Island – Hilton Waikoloa Village
Set in the heart of Hawaii, the Hilton Waikoloa is known as a once in a lifetime island getaway you won’t soon forget.

Paris vs. Hawaii from Frenchy in Hawaii


Bonjour Ladies!

FCWeddings French intern here... 

To Whom It May Concern: I’ve been in Hawaii for more than a month now and have experienced what is like to get married in Maui and everything is amazing here, landscapes, beaches, people, food… E-VE-RY-TH-ING !  

Sure I know that Paris is the most romantic city of the world but what about replacing the fake, Paris-Beach with an authentic beach in Hawaii ? Being from France myself and knowing first hand the différence between the two, I can no longer imagine getting married anywhere else. The beautiful sunsets and gorgeous resorts make it all the more magical.  

Sounds great, doesn’t it ? 

Still not convinced ? Let’s see what could be the problem…

The Distance?
Travelling from France took me 30 hours by plane but hell, this a Small price to pay to to get married in  paradise .  A wedding is already an adventure so why not make it the best adventure of your life ? Don’t let the thought of a long travel stop you !

The cost?
Sure, weddings can cost a lot, even Destination Weddings. But what do you prefer? A gigantic home wedding with 200 people (some of which you don’t even know), or a more intimate destination wedding with your closest family and friends? It’s really up to you, but for me, it’s a no brainer. I’d go to Hawaii and make my wedding day, the most unique day in every way possible.

Working here at First Class Weddings it has made me see the value of a wedding planner and all that they can do for you. My advice is to hire a wedding planner that already knows all those things, their package will make you save some money and the planning will already be done when you arrive on the Island :) 

You live only once so…do everything possible to make your wedding dream come true.

A bientôt!
