Finding the right Maui Wedding Officiant is a very important decision. Your ceremony is what this day is all about. It's the reason you're here. Your Wedding Officiant will play a large role in setting the tone of this most treasured day. Here are a few points to consider which will hopefully help you choose an officiant you will be delighted with. 1. Make sure the officiant recognizes the ceremony as an integral part of your Wedding Day, not just a     ritual. 2. Obviously, the minister or officiant should have a belief system similar to yours. Does the minister     respect your spiritual beliefs? 3. Does the officiant have a pleasant speaking voice? Is he or she an eloquent speaker? 4. If you desire a Catholic Wedding, all of the priests on the island require that you marry in their     respective churches. 5. Ask if any pre-marital counseling is required. 6. Is he or she a Professional Maui Wedding Officiant or is this something they do on the side? Are they     Wedding Ceremony experts or is their attention diverted to other wedding details? 7. Is everything provided in writing; fees, extra charges, deposits, cancellation policy, etc? 8. Is the Wedding Officiant willing to share past experiences with you as to what worked and what     didn't? Is he or she willing to let you make the final call? 9. If you want to make it legal, your officiant must be licensed with the state of Hawaii. Is he or she     knowlegeable about Hawaii's license requirements and will they advise you about the process? Did you know? - You are not legally required to have witnesses present at your ceremony. Although some wedding planners and officiants will offer to provide you witnesses (for an extra fee), they are not required by Hawaii state law.
