Oh wow!!!! That's wonderful, I am jealous!!! I wish I lived there!!! I do have a few questions for you. My fiance and I are getting married in Maui next January. We think that we have finally chosen our ceremony and reception sites. We think that we want to have the ceremony at Marriott Wailea and our reception at Mala Wailea. I have been to the Mala in Lahaina but never to the one in Wailea. Have you been there?
I am also unsure if I should encourage my guests to stay in Ka'anapali (an area I'm familiar with) or in Wailea (an area I've never been to but where I am having the wedding.) What would you say are the positives and negatives of both? Hope I didn't overwhelm you with questions. Thank you sooo much!
I like the idea of staying in Wailea but the majority of my guests are looking into condo's and not really hotels. The Grand Wailea does look gorgeous and I will hopefully get a chance to check it out during my site visit in May. Do you know of any condo's in Wailea? Ones that are preferably on the water and close to activities? 
So I guess I'm asking if anyone can tell me if there's a price break when you book the caterer yourself? Do coordinators get better rates? Or should I just try to book all vendors on my own? I've spoken with a few nice coordinators, but I can't tell who's best, or if I'm being ripped off... I also don't know how necassary a coordinator is for the cocktail hour/reception since the caterers will be there? Any advice would be much appreciated for this slightly overwhelmed bride! I know I have lots of time to get organized, but once I get the important stuff booked I think I'll be much more relaxed
