Maui Destination Weddings: Some Helpful Tips

By Ella Hemmings


There are many great reasons to consider a destination wedding, especially when the destination is the scenic island of Maui. Not only will you create some incredible and romantic memories, planning a destination wedding can be just as easy (or easier) than getting married near home. Here's some advice for couples that wish to plan an exciting destination wedding ceremony in Maui.

With a faraway destination, the hiring of a wedding planner is absolutely essential. This professional can help with all of the details locally, including securing the location for the ceremony, reserving a spot for the reception, finding an officiate for the service and booking florists, photographers, musicians and everything else you will need. For a Maui wedding planner, give the staff at Love Maui Weddings a call. They have been helping couples plan Maui destination weddings for more than 20 years.

This Maui wedding planning service offers several different packages to consider but also can help you plan out a custom wedding and reception. Packages range from a very affordable $575 package to more elaborate packages that include limo service, helicopter tours and many other exciting options. The $575 Simply in Love package is perfect for those wishing to elope or for couples wishing to have a wedding with 10 or fewer guests. The package has many included amenities such as a beach permit for your ceremony, the services of a minister, beautiful handmade leis for the bride and groom and some special keepsakes.

When it comes to ceremony locations, Maui has much to offer and this will probably be the first decision you make when talking to your wedding coordinator. There are many local beaches that allow wedding ceremonies, but you also could opt to marry at the local botanical gardens or perhaps on a lush, private plantation. Many local restaurants also serve as the site for weddings and receptions; some are located right on the beach or perhaps on a bluff with sweeping sea views. Lahaina has several historic churches where you can exchange your vows, and there are also resorts where you can book the ceremony, the reception and even the honeymoon.

A smaller guest list is usually a byproduct of a destination wedding. Because it can be expensive for guests, couples typically just invite the closest of friends and family. This actually can be nice because these are the people with whom you are the most intimate, which means you really get to spend quality time with them rather than having to mingle with dozens of people you don't really know. Still, if you are planning a Maui wedding, be sure to allow your guests several months of time to plan. It's wise to check with local hotels and ask about special deals if multiple rooms are booked. Be sure to treat these guests, who have traveled so far, to a special treat, such as a night at a local luau or perhaps a whale watching trip.

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.
