"Using the Wedding Mapper helped a ton, especially with guests from all over the mainland flying into Honolulu for our wedding. Instead of playing phone tag or sending email after email, we would simply make a notation on our online map and that was it! Easy, convenient, great online tool, and did I say EASY?! On top of everything, it impressed even our tech-savvy friends/family!
