We are delighted to share Gloria and Randy’s Maui 50th wedding anniversary and their love story! The officiant welcomed everyone with a warm smile, setting the tone for a joyous occasion. They shared stories about marriage and the incredible milestone of reaching 50 years together…
With their love and warmth setting the stage, it was Randy’s turn to share his feelings. As a retired nurse practitioner and family doctor, he’s always busy taking care of his loved ones. From picking up his grandson Milo from school to walking the dogs, Randy is a man of many tasks. And let’s not forget his love for river trips, a hobby he shares with many of the celebration attendees, though not with Gloria. River trips aren’t her cup of tea. Instead, Gloria relishes lunch dates with her friends, savoring good food and engaging in conversations.
Both Randy and Gloria have traveled the world, collecting memories along the way. As high school sweethearts, their love story began long ago, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. With their daughter Samantha and grandson Milo by their side, the celebration truly became a family affair. The happiness was palpable as everyone gathered on the beach to commemorate this remarkable milestone…
Highschool Loves
Throughout the evening, Gloria and Randy looked absolutely radiant! Gloria was the picture of elegance in her cream dress with her white blooms, and Randy looked very sharp in his pale green suit. It was as if they were transported back to their high school days, with love and affection lighting up their faces. Their connection was undeniable, and their joy was infectious as they read their endearing words aloud…
Their intimate celebration took place at Polo Beach, where the golden light of the setting sun created an enchanting ambiance. Each moment captured in that golden glow became a beautiful memory to be treasured for years to come!
As you can see, it was just as much a marriage celebration as it was a family celebration! Seeing their family gathered by their side to commemorate this milestone was so sweet! Maui is one of their favorite places to vacation; they’ve visited Maui many times and especially love Wailea. So this celebration with their family and friends in a place they love made it feel even more special!
So, let us raise a glass and send our heartfelt congratulations to Gloria and Randy on their 50th anniversary! May your love continue to shine brightly, guiding them through the next chapter of their journey together. Here’s to the beautiful memories created, the laughter shared, and the love that knows no bounds. Much love and aloha to you both!

In the aftermath of the devastating Maui wildfires, our island has faced a profound impact. While some businesses in Lahaina were tragically reduced to ashes, we are compelled to shed light on and uplift all of Maui’s small businesses. These businesses hold a special place in our hearts; they are not only our team’s favorites but also cherished members of our community. Despite the physical damage inflicted upon many establishments, it is the economic toll on our small local business community that has begun to sting.
Yet, these are just a handful among all of the remarkable small businesses on the island that depend on our support. Even though some Maui small businesses may not have been physically affected by the fires, the economic repercussions are reverberating throughout our island community. Together, we can empower and rebuild, ensuring a brighter future for Maui! West Maui remains closed, but the rest of the island is open for all to enjoy and explore!

Are you just as curious about amazing love stories? Well, let us tell you the heartwarming tale of Phuong and Brandon’s Maui beach wedding. It all started in September 2018 at a children’s science center in Orange County, CA. Phuong was busy working the annual Gala, where Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was set to perform. Little did she know, her life was about to take an unexpected turn.
As fate would have it, Brandon was part of the band crew and had to arrive early to set up for the show. Phuong was assigned to assist them, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Both were hustling and bustling throughout the day, with minimal interaction between them. Exhausted after a 16-hour workday, Phuong left without saying goodbye.
The following day, Phuong decided to keep things professional and texted Brandon to inquire about the loadout. Little did she know that one text would lead to a conversation, which led to their first date and many more after that. Their connection grew stronger, and in May 2022, they found themselves on a romantic vacation in Maui…and you can imagine it led to something truly special!
Where It All Began
Surrounded by the beauty of Maui, Brandon surprised Phuong with a proposal. Overwhelmed with joy, she said, “Yes!” before he could even finish asking. But there was a funny twist – the ring he presented was a silly plastic smiley face ring, causing Phuong to think it was a joke momentarily. However, Brandon quickly reassured her that it was just a placeholder, as he had a real ring on hold pending her ring size confirmation. “Peace was restored in the world,” Phuong jokingly said, and their love story continued to unfold!
So fast forward to their Maui beach wedding, which was a beautiful and intimate event, reflecting their deep love and commitment. They couldn’t think of a better place for their vows than Maui. Maluaka Beach provided the perfect backdrop – elegant yet beachy, just like their love. With only the two of them and the breathtaking Maui sunset, they celebrated the beginning of their next chapter.
After their lovely ceremony, our happy newlyweds took full advantage of the gorgeous setting to bask in their joy! The sunset photos captured during their wedding are nothing short of breathtaking. The golden hues of the sky seemed to signify the start of their new romance. It was a moment filled with beauty, love, and pure magic! How happy do they look in these photos? Carefree and so in love…never minding their wet feet! Their big smiles say it all…
It’s clear the universe had a hand in your meeting! We hope you had a wonderful day! All of us at Simple Maui Wedding send you all the love and aloha for your future! Congratulations!!

As you can imagine, all of their guests were beyond thrilled to be there; it was a vacation for them, too!

Kalia and Justin were smiling ear to ear throughout their entire intimate ceremony. Their love and deep friendship were palpable; these two have been dating for six years! We couldn’t be happier for them both!
It wouldn’t be a complete Maui venue wedding without some newlywed portraits by the ocean! Our photographer whisked away our delightful new Mr. & Mrs. to the beach just out front of the venue. How exquisite do they both look? Kalia in her embroidered lace gown and Justin in his ocean blue suit took our breath away when they walked down the white sandy shoreline. Simply stunning!

Danica made a show-stopping entrance in her chic white pant jumpsuit adorned with a tropical flower crown! So stunning. Everyone’s head turned as she made her way down the aisle. It was so important to our happy couple that their friends and family were there to celebrate their big day. The ambiance was simple, relaxed, and elegant…just what they envisioned!
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer beauty of their Maui venue wedding! Our Rustic Hawaiian Ruins venue provided the perfect backdrop for their special day. The old stones and lush greenery added a touch of history and charm, creating an ambiance that was simply breathtaking. It was an enchanting blend of elegance and natural beauty, setting the stage for their love to shine.
These two couldn’t be more adorable! Noah swept his beautiful new wife off her feet for some beautiful newlywed portraits – with many kisses along the way, as you can see! These two clearly are the best of friends, and it warms our hearts to see how perfect they are together! Noah and Danica love adventure, camping, and the outdoors, so our photographer included all the lush greenery and palm trees in their portraits. Maui sends these lovebirds many blessings for their next big adventure ahead!
Congratulations, Danica and Noah! We are honored to have made your dream wedding in Hawaii a reality! We hope it was everything you hoped for and more! May you continue to love and cherish each other in the decades ahead!

Today, we have a delightful love story to share with you! Meet Jessika and Ryan, the ultimate high school sweethearts who recently embarked on their Maui venue wedding adventure. And as you’ll see below, it was nothing short of magical!
First things first, let’s talk about their wedding date. It held a special place in their hearts as it marked their 10th anniversary as a couple. Talk about a milestone worth celebrating! From their humble beginnings in Southern California, these lovebirds now call Bellevue, Washington home. Jessika teaches little ones as a Pre-k teacher, while Ryan works his magic as a realtor.
Maui, our tropical paradise, stole their hearts. Not only did they choose this stunning island as the backdrop for their wedding, but it’s also where their love story took an exciting turn almost two years ago when they got engaged. Talk about full-circle romance! Maui holds a special place in their hearts, and they adore the island for its natural beauty, tranquility, and total happiness-inducing vibes. How can you resist the allure of this tropical wonderland? So when they thought about planning a wedding, Maui came to mind and felt like a dreamy fit! It was a colorful and joyous day…
Maui Is Special To Us
Our Rustic Hawaiian Ruins, adorned with vibrant tropical blooms, overflowing with an abundance of lush greenery, juicy papayas, and fresh fruits, was nothing short of stunning. It was a sight to behold, truly spectacular! As Jessika and Ryan exchanged vows, they looked absolutely radiant against the backdrop of tropical greenery. The sheer joy and happiness emanating from them were contagious, spreading smiles across the faces of everyone present!
After their colorful and intimate ceremony, our wedding photographer swept away the happy pair for some newlywed and family portraits! The lush setting provided so many picture-perfect backdrops for their first moments of being husband and wife. All of their guests were so overjoyed for the happy pair!
But let’s step back and reminisce about how their love story began. Picture this: a high school romance where Jessika, a freshman, and Ryan, a senior, started off as friends of friends. Fate had other plans for them, though, and they soon found themselves falling head over heels in love. Their first date? A classic trip to the movies, where Ryan mustered up the courage to ask Jessika to be his girlfriend. Their love story has been nothing short of magical since that moment. And ten years later, their love blossomed in the most beautiful way possible! What a lovely couple they make… And all the tropical flowers from their Maui venue wedding reflect it all…
Congratulations on your Maui venue wedding! May your life together be filled with endless adventures, laughter, and love that blooms as beautifully as the tropical greenery that surrounded you on your special day. Maui sends you many blessings!

“We have always talked about it, and it has been our dream to make it happen,” Katie told our wedding coordinators before their Maui elopement! Katie and Bryan, a lovely couple from Washington State, have been together for 15 years, and they couldn’t think of a better place to make it official than a gorgeous beach on Maui! It was a simple celebration but no less full of love and joy. Their son, Turner 4, was their special guest of honor…he is their biggest blessing! They were so happy to share this moment with him. Curious to see how their day unfolded? Keep scrolling!
A Family Moment
What stood out most to us was how their Maui elopement was a loving family affair too. Their love has been and will continue to be the foundation for their family. Don’t they look beautiful?! The way they look at each other during their sacred vows says everything, more than words can express. Their beachy celebration was the best way they could think of to keep their special day just for themselves. Without the frills and fuss of a larger traditional wedding, Katie and Bryan’s Maui elopement was just for them in the dreamiest ways.
They tied the knot under the golden sun at Po’olenalena Beach. The sun made the sand glitter around them, enhancing the dreamy atmosphere. Their guests were beyond thrilled to make the trip to celebrate the happy pair finally getting married after all this time! Everyone enjoyed themselves, and Katie and Bryan even enjoyed a slice of cake right on the beach with the turquoise water glowing in the distance. It was a lovely end to their elegant Maui elopement, one they will never forget!
Congratulations, Katie and Bryan! It was an honor to bring your dream beach wedding to life! We hope you had the best day of your lives. May you continue to grow in love with each passing day! Cheers to 15 years and many more to come! Sending you lots of aloha…
