Aloha!
Please review our COVID19 Policies & Procedures
Moana Belle oversees all vendor payments to ensure that your planner is accurately tracking all payments being made to the vendor and allows us to keep your wedding budget up to date. For this reason, we have outlined some specifics in terms of the different payment options below. In all cases, your Moana Belle planner will communicate when vendor payments are due and the amount that is to be paid. Please communicate clearly with your planner as to how you prefer to pay each individual payment
Should you decide to pay vendor payments via credit card, we ask that you allow Moana Belle to initiate payments on your behalf. This makes the process more simple and streamlined and allows us to accurately track payment details while keeping your budget up to date. Please download and complete the Credit Card Authorization Form (linked blow) and email it to your event planner directly once it has been signed. We will keep your credit card information on file for future payments you wish to make via credit card. We will never pay a vendor payment without your express approval to do so. Please note that an additional fee may apply to pay via credit card (typically 3% is added by the vendor depending on their policy). Your planner will advise of applicable fees before you decide on method of payment.
If mailing a check, please make the check out to the Vendor’s Name and mail it to the Moana Belle offices at the following address:
Moana Belle Events
Attention to: Jane Park-Gonzales
6354 Kalama Road
Kapaa, HI 96746
We will notify you once the check arrives and will record the payment in your budget for tracking purposes. We will also take care of communicating all details to the vendor. The payment will then be forwarded to directly to the vendor. If making payments via check, please consider the dues dates and send the check in advance of the due date to allow for the time it will take to reach the vendor (typically 7-10 business days).
Not all vendors offer ACH, but If ACH is an option for vendor payment, these fees are often lower than the credit card fees (typically around 1.3%). If you wish to set up an ACH payment or direct deposit with a vendor, please contact your planner directly for assistance so that we may initiate payment on your behalf.
*If you initiate any vendor payments directly, please always provide your planner with the following information so that we may accurately communicate with vendors and track your payments:
