Jamie and Jay surprised their loved ones at home by getting married here on vacation! So we were thrilled to be part of their Maui Elopement! They could not have been more in love or more fun to work with. I mean just look at them! You can tell by the smiles on their faces and their epic wedding attire that they have stellar personalities. And we are stoked we had the opportunity to help make this day a reality.
Jamie’s bouquet even had touches of gold and navy to compliment Jay’s suit! Which we loved!
This bride and groom were complete naturals in front of the camera! And it’s no wonder why since they actually met while working as extras on the movie, “The Intern” with Robert DeNiro and Anne Hathaway! It was the first summer Jay ever took off from tennis (he’s actually a tennis pro – no big deal) and we are so glad he did. These two are without a doubt, “meant to be”!
A Special Date
To make their Maui Elopement even more special, they actually said “I do” on the 5 year anniversary of their first date! How sweet is that?! Having a special meaning behind your wedding date is always fun. And we’re honored we could spend this evening celebrating with this happy couple! Thank you so much, Jamie and Jay, for sharing such a memorable occasion with Simple Maui Wedding. We are so glad we could be part of your first trip to Hawaii and hope it won’t be your last! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Jennifer and Thomas met over 20 years ago and were so excited to celebrate their love with a Maui Elopement at Ironwoods Beach. Neither our bride or groom had ever been here before, and they couldn’t have chosen a more amazing spot for their ceremony. Not only is it the perfect place to say “I do” but with it’s epic cliffs overlooking the ocean, it’s also the perfect place for wedding photos! See for yourself!
After taking portraits with our sister company, this happy couple was ready to head to Merrimans for a celebratory dinner. With its convenient location and incredible menu, this was a great choice! And it’s easy to see these two have great taste 🙂 . I mean just look at them! Plus they chose us to plan their Maui Elopement and we cannot thank them enough! Congratulations and Warm Aloha, Jennifer and Thomas!

The looks on Leah and Brian’s faces when they first saw each other at their Maui Beach Wedding left us speechless. The love they share is truly inspiring! Their wedding was full of excitement, from beginning to end and we loved witnessing it all.
On another note, Leah’s sons walked her in during her entrance. And one of her sons even blew the conch shell too! Which we thought was the cutest thing, and he was so good at it too. But we really shouldn’t be surprised, considering Hawaiian culture is in his blood!
Why a Maui Beach Wedding?
Our bride is originally from Oahu but now lives in California. When asked why she chose Maui for her wedding, she said her family is originally from Maui! So she wanted to get married here on a beach with her toes in the sand. A lot of her family flew here to Maui from Oahu and brought the flower crown she wore on her wedding day with them. How sweet is that?!
We seriously cannot get over how amazing this wedding was. Throughout the evening, this bride and groom didn’t stop laughing together. Brian was super animated and fun to be around, and Leah was completely comfortable and enjoyed every moment of being on the beach!
Thank you, Leah and Brian, for trusting our team to help create the perfect Maui Beach Wedding for you. We loved getting to know you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Diana and Ernesto kept their Maui Beach Elopement carefree and simple! So relaxed that they even kept it a surprise from their guests. Their friends who were with them found out they were getting married ONE HOUR before the wedding (otherwise they said they would have been more dressed up, haha). But they were all still so excited to celebrate with our happy couple! And so were we 🙂 .
Diana and Ernesto were SO into each other and were constantly laughing during their Maui Beach Elopement, which we loved. It was easy to see that they have a deep bond forged on friendship, giving us the confidence that these two will have the most amazing life together! And to make things even more exciting, they’re actually expecting their first child together. Woohoo!
We seriously couldn’t be happier for these two, and are so glad we could be part of their special day! Thank you, Diana and Ernesto, for letting Simple Maui Wedding celebrate with you. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

The backdrop at Morgan and Kegan’s Kanaha Beach Wedding was amazing! Just see for yourself. Iao Valley is one of our favorite spots on Maui. And it’s every bit as beautiful from afar as it is up close!
Before getting married these two spent the day in Iao! So it was perfect when at their ceremony Iao Valley lit up with beautiful sun rays peeking through the clouds. Which created a remarkable sight in person and in their wedding portraits. That’s not the only thing that caught our attention though, we also couldn’t take our eyes off of our bride and groom who both looked incredible in their wedding attire. Seriously tho!
Beach Wedding Styling
Morgan was absolutely stunning in this high low wedding dress by Calvin Kline. Plus we love that she chose to wear block heels so they wouldn’t sink into the sand, making them ideal for a Kanaha Beach Wedding! And we can’t say enough about how great Kegan looked in a navy Tommy Hilfiger suit, which he paired with a white button up and brown dress shoes. Classy yet casual, well done!
Thank you, Morgan and Kegan, for sharing this magical evening with Simple Maui Wedding. We loved getting to celebrate with you both and wish you every happiness on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Louisse and Nicholas met earlier this year and are planning a big formal wedding, but before that they wanted an intimate Maui elopement. So we are so glad we were able to help make this beautiful day a reality for them! And we couldn’t have asked for a better morning for their ceremony.
They also wanted some beautiful photos for their formal wedding, and our sister company captured the sweetest moments of these two! We especially love these shots of them dancing in the water. Just look at them together, aren’t they darling?
Thank you, Louisse and Nicholas, for sharing your intimate Maui elopement with Simple Maui Wedding! We loved getting to know you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and good luck planning your big day! Warm Aloha!

With loved ones surrounding them, this bride and groom were so excited to be getting married at their Maui Outdoor Wedding. And seriously though what could be better than having a ceremony right by the ocean?! With the sand beneath their feet and waves crashing nearby, Shannon and David were more than ready to say “I do” in paradise.
How They Met
From the moment David turned around to see Shannon walking towards him, it was easy to see that she really is the love of his life! And we are so glad these two found each other all those years ago in college. They were actually neighbors in their dorm! They had both just arrived, unpacked, left their rooms and met in the elevator. And they’ve been together ever since!
Thank you, Shannon and David, for inviting us to help plan your Maui Outdoor Wedding. We loved getting to know you and loved being part of your special day! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We loved helping plan this couple’s wedding at 5 Palms and can’t get over how amazing they look in these Maui Wedding Portraits! Danielle and John brought their own photographer from Orange County for their wedding photography. But since all of our packages include photography they decided to do an extra couples shoot with our sister company, the day after their wedding!
Photography Options – Bringing your Own Photographer
This is a great option since photography can’t be removed from a Simple Maui Wedding Package. We understand some clients might already have someone in mind for their wedding photography, but why not take more photos!? You can never have enough shots of you and your new spouse, especially in your amazing wedding attire!
Dreams Coming True
Our bride said she’s always dreamed of having photos in a pretty dress with pretty flowers on the beach in Hawaii at Sunset. So taking these Maui Wedding Portraits was perfect, and she lucked out with the most GORGEOUS lighting! Danielle grew up coming to Maui every year as a kid, so it is a very special place for her. And now she can’t wait to come back when they have kids and have portraits this very same beach, so sweet!
Danielle and John, we cannot thank you enough for sharing not just one but two beautiful evenings with us. We loved getting to know you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We loved helping Marissa and Travis plan their Steeple House Maui Wedding, especially since they got engaged while visiting Maui last year! And we absolutely love how Travis proposed. He decided to be adventurous and pop the question while repelling at a waterfall in Hana. Sounds amazing right?! But just as he was about to pull out the ring, he dropped it! He somehow managed to find it (without her noticed) and proposed away! What a great story!
The Steeple House
Besides having an epic love story, these two also had an absolutely epic wedding day! They wisely chose to get married at The Steeple House, which is one of our favorite venues for so many reasons. The first being that it has a beautiful bridal suite perfect for getting ready just prior to the ceremony! We love this because we know the last thing a bride wants is for her wedding dress to get wrinkled in a car ride. Plus it’s always nice to put on a few finishing touches before seeing the groom :).
Another reason we love this venue is the outdoor setting is out of this world! With majestic views from all sides, it really is an incredible place to say, “I do”. It’s also conveniently located right by one of the best beaches for wedding portraits! And we love that these newlyweds were able to head down for a few photos before heading on their merry way.
Thank you, Marissa and Travis, for sharing your special day with Simple Maui Wedding! We loved working with you to create the wedding of your dreams and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Few places are as perfect for a honeymoon as Maui. The idyllic beaches, the luminous water, the star-flooded sky—everything down to the swaying palms and gorgeous foliage evokes romance of the highest order. (And this is to say nothing of the island’s collection of impressive restaurants and dreamy resorts.)
Whether you were just married on Maui or are heading to Hawaii’s second-largest island after tying the knot at home, here’s how to have a Maui honeymoon that will live on in your mind and hearts.
Revel in an Epic Sunset Sail
Your first evenings as newlyweds ought to be spent in style—and what better way to do so than gliding on the sea aboard a luxury vessel?
The Kai Kanani has been catering to the freshly-betrothed for over three decades, and, as such, provides some of the best escapades on the island. Their Adventure Sunset Sail marries the aloha spirit with Maui’s greatest sensory delights: Magnificent views of the descending sun, the tantalizing tunes of Maui-made musician Brother Dwight, and The Market’s scrumptious food (think: seared ahi, grilled ribeye, and toasted coconut cookies).
Arrive early to Maluaka Beach—the Kai Kanani’s point of departure—for an afternoon swim before stepping onto the plush catamaran. The hours you’ll spend on the water will be nothing short of divine.
…and an Epic Sunrise
No trip to Maui is complete without paying tribute to the massive shield volcano that comprises three-quarters of the island.
Haleakala—or “House of the Sun”—soars 10,023 feet into the sky, making trips to its summit an exercise in seeing the island from an informed perspective. The behemoth’s 3,000-foot deep depression—as well as its distinctive flora and fauna—render it a pleasure to tour no matter the time of day, but a visit at sunrise is unforgettable. Otherworldly colors paint the sky as Hawaiian chanting—and a sea of onlookers—give the event a momentous, celebratory effect. As it should be: There are few spectacles as staggering as this.
While making the trip on your own is delightful, you can hand over the keys—literally—to the affable folks at Haleakala EcoTours, which will allow you and your new spouse to do little more than kick back, absorb the interpretive tour, and drink in the splendid vistas.
Dive into a Marine Wonderland
Above water and Maui is a sight to behold; dive under the surface of its water and another, possibly even more amazing world unfolds.
Snorkeling spots are ubiquitous around the island—particularly on the leeward side—but nothing beats zipping over to Molokini to see Hawaii’s aquatic wonders. The volcanic caldera (one of three in the world) cradles a bay that brims with ocean animals, from 250 species of fish to live—and colorful—coral. Experience all of this and more with Redline Rafting. Here, 35-foot, customized rafts are used to accommodate small groups of passengers, who are taken to Molokini before heading to the site of the island’s last lava flow.
Dubbed Maui’s Forbidden Coast, this radical coastline is alive with one marvelous sight after another, including underwater grottos, sea cliffs, pristine lava fields, even, at times, spinner dolphins. It blends intimacy with education and thrills—which, come to think of it, is just like marriage.
Capture the Moment!
Take a break between adventure and great meals to capture the excitement of your honeymoon with professional Maui portrait photography. With Karma Hill’s team of talented photographers, you can get beautiful beach shots with turquoise water or amazing sunset shots before dinner without losing much time on your vacation. This is the time to get photos for your Christmas cards or just to share with friends and family.
Dine Under the Spell of Maui’s Top Chefs
Dining any night of the week at The Mill House Restaurant is exceptional (see the photo), but on select weekend nights, Maui Tropical Plantation undergoes a transformation of sorts as the culinary talent at its on-site restaurant hosts Maui Chef’s Table.
Drawing on the freshest seasonal ingredients—including crops that grow mere yards from The Mill House’s kitchen—the chefs create dazzling meals while explaining the stories behind their dishes (and encouraging diners to partake in a lively conversation). Communal tables give the event a dinner-party feel while the grounds—all vibrant Hawaiian flowers and relics from Maui’s sugarcane past—enhance the romance.
Skyrocket Above the Treeline
Bonds are inevitably intensified when you and your partner participate in an exhilarating venture—and Skyline Eco-Adventures is just the outfit to provide you with a safe and electrifying experience.
The winner of frequent accolades, including one of Fodor Travel’s world’s most amazing zip lines, their 5-line zipline on the slopes of Haleakala will leave you breathless. You’ll zoom across immense canyons, through perfumed eucalyptus forests, and above 90-foot drops—all of which will have you and your better half grinning even wider. You’ll also undoubtedly feel great in knowing you’re supporting a company that pays it forward: Skyline Hawai’i contributes a large part of its earnings to nonprofit organizations that directly assist the island.
Get Immersed in Polynesian Culture
Ancestral stories, lavish food, mesmerizing dances—the Te Au Moana Luau at the Wailea Beach Resort, Marriott Maui is sure to rise to the top of your list of lasting memories.
The location of this acclaimed performance is incredible—a seaside splendor that provides dramatic views of Molokini, Kaho’olawe, and Makena—while the cultural details, from an imu oven to kapa making, will allow you and your darling to step back into ancient Hawaii. Presented by the islands’ premier production company, Tihati, the enchanting event is punctuated by classic luau fare, notable cocktails, and stirring music. (Hello, aphrodisiac.)
Hike into the Mist
Holding hands and hiking in Maui through a fog-tipped forest epitomizes romance at its finest. The chance to do so abounds across the island—from Hosmer’s Grove to Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area—but we have a soft spot for Waihe’e Ridge Trail. Here, steep ridgelines and lush vegetation lead to a 2,600-foot peak that offers views of West Maui’s verdant valleys and striking coastline.
Take the Ride of Your Life
Depending on who you’re asking, that maybe marriage itself—but in the literal sense few things are as stunning as the Road to Hana.
The three-hour drive may put undue stress on a holiday that should be marked only by contentment; with this in mind, take a guided tour with Valley Isle Excursions. The venerable company has been giving visitors remarkable trips since their inception two-plus decades ago—and has only grown in superiority.
Their custom cruisers are outfitted for comfort, with extra legroom, expansive viewing windows, climate control, and elevated seats, all of which will enable you and your S.O. to relish the sublime settings. There are many on the way to the island’s remotest outpost, from pools and gardens to gorges (even a state park that boasts a blowhole, an onyx-sand cove, and a sea arch). Slip away from your group to steal a steamy moment with your spouse. Because, really, what’s a Maui honeymoon without a kiss under a waterfall?

These are some really fun things to do if you’re getting hitched. Want more? Here are a few more Maui Honeymoon Activities.

We love that this bride and groom chose to get married at a Maui Destination Wedding. And are so glad we got to be part of it! With Stephanie’s family mostly in China and Jonathan’s family from the East coast, they figured Maui was the halfway point between the two locations. Making it the perfect place to have their ceremony! And as you can see their wedding really was perfect 🙂 .
With just the right amount of cloud coverage, the lighting couldn’t have been more amazing. They even had the most incredible sunset down at the beach during their wedding portraits! After taking photos with our sister company, these newlyweds returned to Gannon’s to have their reception at the Upper Pond. Talk about convenient! We love how this couple’s special day came together and wish them all the best on the journey ahead!
Thank you so much, Stephanie and Jonathan, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan your Maui Destination Wedding. We loved meeting and celebrating with you both! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We loved helping plan this Ironwoods Beach Maui Wedding! This is one of our favorite spots on the island and it’s easy to see why. With a beautiful sandy beach surrounded by greenery and the most epic cliffs you will ever see, it not only makes for an incredible experience in real life but it’s also the most amazing setting for wedding portraits! And to make this location even better, there are lots of options for lodging nearby making it super convenient. Our couple stayed at the Kaanapali Villas, which are under 15 minutes away from where they had their ceremony. Not bad!
Our Bride and Groom
Nina and Bryon had been dreaming of visiting Hawaii for the longest time, and what started out as a joke to have their wedding here quickly became an amazing reality! This evening was filled with so much love and good times with their family and friends. We had so much fun with everyone and could tell how special it was for this bride and groom to share their special day with their guests!
After taking the most beautiful sunset portraits with our sister company, our newlyweds were ready to celebrate with a fun reception at The Plantation House. Which is located right above where our couple said, “I do”, and always has the most delicious food! Making it the perfect choice for a celebratory dinner after an Ironwoods Beach Maui Wedding.
Thank you, Nina and Byron, for inviting Simple Maui Wedding to participate in such a special occasion. We loved getting to know you both and know this a day you will never forget! We know we sure won’t 🙂 . Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
