Tips For Couples Wanting A Maui Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


These days many couples are abandoning the traditional way of saying "I Do," and heading off to an exclusive destination to exchange their vows. Maui has long been a top spot for these destination weddings, offering up some of the world's best scenery for your special day. If you are considering a Maui wedding, here are a few helpful tips that will make the experience as easy to plan as possible.


Because your wedding will take place far from home, you definitely need to hire a Maui wedding planner. Your planner will handle most of the local details for you, and this will include securing a permit for a beach wedding or reserving another spot for the ceremony. The wedding planner also can find a minister, order flowers, reserve musicians and a photographer and handle many other details. At Love Maui Weddings, for instance, you will find a team of experienced Maui wedding coordinators that have been helping couples plan their special day for 20-plus years.

To make it easy for couples, they offer a wide assortment of wedding packages, from inexpensive elopement packages to larger weddings on a grander scale. For instance, the Simply in Love package is ideal for a couple that wishes to elope or will have 10 guests or fewer. It includes a beach wedding ceremony, the services of a minister, help with the marriage license, two handmade fresh leis and much more for just $575. Of course, you can also create your own custom package, and the Love Maui Weddings staff can help with all of the details.

Perhaps the first task a couple needs to consider is where they wish to hold the ceremony. In Maui, there are plenty of amazing options. Obviously, a beach wedding is an excellent choice and there are many local beaches to consider. You also could marry at one of Maui's privately-owned plantations or at a luxury resort or even a historic Lahaina church. Many local restaurants feature beautiful grounds with ocean vistas and allow both the ceremony and reception to occur on site.

Obviously, the guest list for a destination wedding is usually quite a bit smaller than for a wedding at home. While this certainly can reduce the costs of a wedding, you need to give the guests you are inviting plenty of time to plan for this occasion. Even if it's just going to be a few close friends, your siblings and parents, people will need several months to plan. They have to schedule absences from work, buy plane tickets and book accommodations. You can help by reserving blocks of rooms at a local hotel or resort, and sometimes if you reserve enough rooms, you can obtain a special rate.

No matter what type of Maui wedding you want, your wedding planner can make your dreams come true, and all you really have to do is show up. You don't even have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on wedding clothes. A simply white sundress is perfect for a beachfront wedding, and your guy can keep it just as casual with some khakis and a Hawaiian-style shirt or perhaps just a dress shirt and tie. When it comes to Maui, it is the destination that will make the day perfect, providing happy memories to last a lifetime.
