Maui Room Blocks

ing planning, which was planned for March 2019 in Maui. That previous summer, I had volunteered to handle the search for a room block as well as coordinate room type requests with their two dozen guests. The couple had suggested I reach out to Maui Room Blocks, which they had found and reviewed a bit on their own before I was involved. I’ll add that they live in Chicago, I live in New York, and the wedding was obviously in Maui, so now we were dealing with three time zones that spanned 5-6 hours (depending on the time of year). Soon after I reached out to Kauilei in late summer 2018, we had our first couple of live conversations. That’s when I knew we were in good hands. Kauilei was on top of the planning from the start. She provided multiple options with very good quotes, allowed us enough time to review each hotel on our own before making a decision, and then helped facilitate the contract negotiation and acceptance once we were ready to commit to a resort. We went with the Marriott Wailea Beach Resort and found that the hotel grounds, rooms, amenities, restaurants and bars, services, and hotel staff were top notch. Kauilei helped us organize rooms that were near each other for those guests that were traveling together or needed adjacent rooms for larger family sizes. She also helped us book a short stretch of rooms that had their own private decks along the poolside so that some of the younger adults could hang out together by the pool day and night, but still be off to the side in their own private outdoor poolside area (which each had direct access from those decks into their rooms through their own sliding glass doors). That was a very nice touch and we ended up hanging out on those decks pretty much each day. Additionally, Kauilei knew the on-site events team and she helped coordinate planning with the hotel, like a pre-wedding reception at the hotel before the entire wedding party had to board a bus and leave for the wedding itself. The overall attention to detail from start to finish (summer 2018 to March 2019) along with her availability and flexibility for any phone calls (even around the time zone differences) made planning the room block and wedding extras much easier. I would highly recommend booking through Maui Room Blocks and working with Kauilei for any weddings in Maui. Honestly, everyone that attended the wedding found the room planning so seamless and accommodations so top notch that we could not recommend her enough for making that happen.
