The following tips are offered by the Maui Wedding Association for visitors to the upcoming Wedding Expo:
Dress comfortably: Wear comfortable shoes and clothing. You’ll be doing a lot of walking.
Bring pre-addressed mailing labels: including your name, address, phone number, wedding date, and email so you won’t need to fill out different forms at every vendor table you visit.
Bring a camera: to take photos of the exhibitor booths and the showcase room.
Bring a notepad and pen: In addition to taking notes, you may want to have some way to organize the business cards and brochures you collect during the expo.
Collect everything at the show: You may not know that you’ll need it later.
Catch the fashion show and listen to the entertainment: and take notes of attire and entertainment you like.
Bring a tote bag: in case the one provided is not large enough or sturdy enough for you.
Bring money: to purchase snacks and beverages.
Take your time: It can be overwhelming to see more than 40 booths and speak to the vendors. Pace yourself to stay excited and avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa’s parking structure will be available for self parking during the event at $1 for every 3 hours with expo validation. The Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa will also be providing property tours during the event.
