Exceptional

If you are in search of a dependable, honest, trustworthy, wedding coordinator for the perfect destination Maui sunset beach wedding, Josie Maltese is your coordinator! Not only is she an exceptional coordinator, she is a professional photographer by trade. Josie provided a stress free memorable day for us. All we had to do was show up and everything we asked for was there and more! She arranged and coordinated everything for a beautiful memorable day. Her photography skills are amazing. She was able to capture on camera all the special, intimate moments of our wedding and we were able to share the pictures with our family and friends back home. Truely a lifetime treasure. We highly recommend Josie for your wedding coordinator/photographer! Thank you Josie for making our Maui sunset beach wedding everything we dreamed of!

We felt that we could use some help coordinating all of the tasks involved for our March 7, 2016 wedding on Maui. After searching all of the reviews for the many wedding planners on Maui, we decided to use “Maltese Dreams Maui Weddings & Photography”. This turned out to be a great decision for us and Josie Maltese was excellent. She made terrific recommendations, coordinated everything for us and everything went better than we had dreamed. We could not have picked a better wedding planner that was easy to work with and worked within our budget! Josie is also a professional photographer and the pictures she took were amazing. We would recommend “Maltese Dreams Maui Weddings & Photography” to anyone who is looking for help coordinating their wedding in Maui.

Maltese Dreams Maui Wedding and Photography did an amazing job. Ours was a simple wedding, but we were out of country until just prior to the wedding and Jo Jo had everything organized and was prompt in getting us our photos. Excellent service!

JoJo was absolutely amazing! The wedding was everything I could have asked for and more. The pictures were phenomenal, and I'm not very photogenic, so I really appreciated her expertise.

JoJo was a great blessing for my husband and I's wedding. We are from Indiana and we got married so far away from home. She took care of all the details, and I couldn't have been happier. She also brought us Charles, who was our officiant, and he was awesome too. Everything was very intimate and personable and they made our wedding very memorable. The pictures she took were amazing and we loved them all. She really knew how to capture every moment, even the silly ones that we will cherish forever. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a beautiful and perfect wedding in Maui.

My husband & I wanted to have our wedding in Maui, HI. We live in California. From a recommendation we contacted JoJo of Maltese Wedding. She coordinated everything for us and made our wedding day very special. It was a dream wedding that I had always dreamed of having. The photographs are beautiful. I highly recommend Maltese Wedding to make your day special!!

Beware you get what you pay for and $700 won't get you much in Maui especially a dream wedding. It was very disorganized and hurried. Photography was lousy! Do your homework if you want a sunset wedding I suggest researching what time the sun actually sets. And be prepared to have your own poses in mind or you'll be subjected to very generic unprofessional snapshots. Our family captured better pics with their phones.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
