Our Founder. Rev. John Souter began the company 13 years ago. He is our default minister and also the main photographer for Affordable Maui Weddings. Almost all of the photography on this website was taken by him so you can get a feel for his work while looking through the Affordable website. To learn more about how he shoots our Maui weddings follow this link:
 

When John is performing a wedding, his assistants shoot the photography while he is officiating the service. John has been a licensed and ordained minister for 42 years. Unlike most of the other officiants here on Maui, he is a true minister and Christian College graduate. He has written almost 50 Christian books (which have been translated into eight languages). All of his ceremonies are original and he performed his first wedding 40 years ago.
 

We have carefully selected our wedding coordinators and staff members to give our couples the best possible Maui weddings. Because the actual work of coordinating all of the details of each of our weddings takes an attention to detail, we have found just the right person to do most of our onsite coordinating. Once you book your wedding, we want to make certain that all of your needs are met. To learn more about our Maui Wedding Coordinator process look here:

Nikki Souter. Nikki will normally be your on-site wedding coordinator. She also works with John on the beach, shooting the photography during the ceremonies and often also after the wedding giving us dual coverage of your event. She also coordinates all of the many onsite details that go into each of our Maui beach weddings.

Nikki makes certain that all of the wedding services that our couples want are ordered and taken care of. In the office (and out running errands for the business) she is clearly John's right hand.

Nikki knows from first-hand experience how exciting a Maui wedding can be, having recently been married on Maui to John. She is dedicated to giving you the same kind of Maui beach wedding that she and John received. 

Linda Simon. Linda has been doing our Maui photography and coordinating for several years now. We are happy to have her expertise as one of our staff members. She is quite proficient in getting the kind of photography that our couples want. Linda is also very adept at coordinating all of the onsite activities that go into even the biggest Maui weddings. We know that you'll enjoy the service that she gives to you through Affordable Maui Weddings.
 

We also have a number of great musicians, florists, ministers, and videographers, limo companies, caterers who we use on a regular basis for many of our Maui weddings. We have chosen them because of their experience and their ability to produce the excellent results for our couples deserve and expect. We know you'll be satisfied.
