I agree with the recommendation for Cherise. She is the one we are using.

We were in maui and had the opportunity to try both of the companies mentioned here. DO NOT USE MAUI WEDDING CAKES. They rubbed us the wrong way and they cakes we tried were so-so. After visiting with them we hoped we could find someone that would produce a good cake. We even thought about baking our own cake in the condo becuase we could do better. Their facility is in their home and very small. Normally I would not care about that but in this case seeing it adding to the bells going off in my head. The attitude cheryl had was shocking. If you have used her or will be I hope your experience is not like the one I had. Our wedding coordinator referred us to Patricia at Cravings Bakery. We were able to get in for a last minute tasting and were amazed at the facility and flavor. She does amazing work!! Her price is a little more if I remember right but I am willing to pay it. We were able to taste many different things and see actual cakes she was working on or had completed. For us it was a no brainer to use her.

I am the groom here but very involved in the planning process. We chose Cherise at The Perfect Wedding. We have had a long engagement and we were able to go to Maui to visit the venues and meet with Cherise and other vendors. Cherise has always been on top of things for us and very responsive. She has been right about what she recommends and always has our best interest in mind. IMO her cost is not bad and there are no hidden charges. She gets her set fee and then everything else is what has been negotiated. No additions or suprises yet. Wedding is in May 2012. Her website: http://www.theperfectweddingmaui.com/index.html Concerning photography we chose Tradewinds Photagraphy. Tracy does amazing work and is very pasionate about it. I have seen some of the others work and there is no comparison. I have not seen the ones mentioned in this thread though. His site is http://tradewindsphotomaui.com/ Hope the helps but maybe it add another person to the mix causing more confusion.

what a pain in the but. 149 more
