Seeking advice: How to handle large wedding decor and equipment after a destination wedding?
Hi everyone. I’m a 2026 bride having my wedding on Maui. The island does not give brides many options for wedding rentals, and the cost is expensive (for me). therefore I’m shipping some items to the island for my wedding to save money.
For example, I want a round stage for my wedding. the stage rental fee is $2200 on Maui, but purchasing and shipping the stage would only cost $1000.
My question is: how should I handle these items after the wedding? I’ve started posting them for resale in Maui bride Facebook groups, but I haven't received any responses yet. I would appreciate any suggestions or experiences from fellow brides on how to deal with wedding items like these!
