Gas Prices Highest In The Nation

Photo automatically updated weekly

Although they (the media in Oahu) say that Hawaii no longer has the highest gas prices in the country (lowest at $3.47) and that California now has the highest gas prices in the nation (about $3.53), Maui gas prices really are. Maui prices for regular gasoline are currently $3.98 to $3.99 (at time of this writing). Soon we expect to be over the $4 mark. In all of Hawaii, Maui leads the way in high gas prices, even over Kauai, the most remote of the Hawaiian islands at 108 miles from Honolulu - the main port for Hawaii.

High gasoline prices in Maui affect the price of everything in Maui, from the cost of electricity, to the cost of your wedding bouquet and dinner at a restaurant. The average price of milk is $8 per gallon, since it has to be flown in from Honolulu. And now with the closure of Aloha Airlines, the cost of goods being flown to Maui is increasing. And why did Aloha Airlines fold? Why, the cost of fuel of course.

The Blue Hawaii Chapel Wedding Is Back!

It's Back! The Blue Hawaii Chapel Wedding Is Back!

Our Blue Hawaii Chapel Wedding takes place where Elvis Presley´s movie "Blue Hawaii" was filmed at the Coco Palms Lagoon in Kapaa, Kauai. If you´ve ever dreamed of your wedding the way Elvis did it, there is none other than our Blue Hawaii Chapel Wedding package.

Your ceremony begins with the ceremonial blowing of the conch shell by our Hawaiian conch shell blower. In ancient Hawaii, the blowing of the conch shell signified that something very special was about to take place. Two Hawaiian canoe paddlers, steering the tropical flower decorated canoe (just like Elvis rode on), gently glide you over the Coco Palms lagoon as a prelude to your wedding.

The Chapel Wedding takes place at any time of day, although afternoon is usually best. Sunset weddings begin at 5:30 PM to in summer and 4:30 PM in winter. We will meet prior to the wedding time to go over any last minute details. The Chapel is decorated with a beautiful tropical flower arrangement.

Our Hawaiian Christian ministers are non denominational and marry all faiths. Feel free to add your own wedding vows to the service. If you wish, we can put you in touch with your minister prior to your ceremony.

The flowers included in this package are: Two orchid, plumeria, tuberose or carnation leis, one for each of you to exchange during your ceremony. Or you may choose a beautiful French style bridal bouquet and boutonniere instead. You may also order a variety of bridal bouquets, nosegays, corsages, hair flowers, Haku head leis or boutonnieres at an additional cost. If you have guests you may want to order additional flower leis for them. Just let us know what your needs are and we´ll be happy to arrange it for you.

Your wedding photography includes ceremony, formal and candid shots after the ceremony. Your photography includes a CD or DVD of all the images taken and license to make your own prints and enlargements, No photos or album are included. Your ceremony is also videotaped and made into a professionally edited DVD production. Bring along your favorite songs on CD and the videographer will edit them onto your video.

Also included is our Hawaiian singer/guitarist who adds to the celebration throughout your wedding. He will also perform the Hawaiian Wedding Song during the ceremony.

The bride and groom´s Champagne toast takes place following the ceremony. If you have guests you may want to order additional beverage and glasses for them. The Bride & Groom´s toasting glasses are included.
