A wedding in Maui was the perfect next chapter for Rachel and Dean, a California couple whose love story began with a little help from Hinge and some truly unforgettable timing! They matched in January 2020, just before the world turned upside down. Suddenly, their budding romance involved a whole lot of quarantining together. Talk about putting a new relationship to the test! Luckily, all that unexpected quality time only brought them closer. Then, in September 2024, Dean popped the question at the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. From dramatic Irish cliffs to the sun-kissed shores of Hawaii, these two certainly know how to pick a romantic backdrop!

Their beautiful ceremony at Po’olenalena Beach was everything we adore about a Maui wedding. Beneath the sweeping branches of a tree, Rachel and Dean exchanged vows with the sparkling Pacific Ocean stretching out behind them. Meanwhile, lush white florals, soft ocean breezes, and their closest loved ones made the moment feel effortlessly romantic. And can we talk about their portraits? Rachel looked absolutely radiant in her flowing white gown, while Dean brought timeless charm in his light-colored suit. Together, they were the definition of coastal elegance!

As the afternoon melted into a dreamy golden sunset, we whisked the newlyweds away for some seriously stunning couples portraits. With dramatic lava rocks, soft golden light, and crashing waves surrounding them, every moment felt almost cinematic. Moreover, their natural chemistry made each photograph feel beautifully effortless. From sweet embraces to playful moments along the shoreline, every image belonged in the pages of a romantic editorial.

A Maui beach wedding was the perfect way for Lindsay and James to celebrate their love, just the two of them, beneath Hawaii’s beautiful blue skies.

Their story began years ago, when Lindsay’s mom would frequent James’s family salon. Then, one day, James’s relatives decided to play matchmaker and set them up on a blind date. Thankfully, their matchmaking skills were excellent! Lindsay and James went on that blind date, hit it off, and the rest became history. Years later, James popped the question on Christmas Eve during a white elephant game, proving that holiday surprises can be pretty spectacular.

Their intimate ceremony at Baldwin Beach Park was everything they could have dreamed of and somehow even more. There were no guests, no crowd, and no distractions, only Lindsay and James promising forever with the ocean nearby.

Meanwhile, the Maui weather delivered blue skies, gorgeous light, and a truly unforgettable surprise. A stunning double rainbow appeared over their ceremony, because apparently the universe wanted to RSVP too.

A Maui elopement feels like a particular kind of magic. After all, two people decide the whole world can wait. All they really need is sand between their toes and each other’s hands to hold. Adrienne and Jason understood that completely, so they traded crowded aisles for open shoreline. Meanwhile, the sky could not decide if it wanted to be moody or golden, and in the end it gave them both.

The morning started soft and silvery, with clouds hanging low over the water. Adrienne stood barefoot in her flowing gown, bouquet in hand, waiting for the moment that would change everything. Then Jason arrived in crisp white, and the two exchanged leis in the sweetest, most tender ritual. As they bowed their foreheads together, they placed the flowers with so much care that the whole beach seemed to hold its breath.

Next, they spoke their vows hand in hand with the waves as witness. Finally, they laced their fingers together and let laughter break through the nerves, turning a quiet promise into something loud simply by showing up so fully for each other.

Eventually the sun broke through, and everything felt like it had been waiting for them all along. Vivid orange, pink, and yellow blooms punched color against soft blues and greens, while a new ring caught the light on Adrienne’s hand. Afterward, the two wandered beneath twisting trees and along open shoreline as husband and wife, wrapped up in each other and unbothered by anything else. In many ways, this is the kind of love story that reminds you why people fall for this island.

Ultimately, a Maui elopement, small and unhurried and entirely their own, was always going to be the perfect way for Adrienne and Jason to begin.

Monica and Joshua’s Maui elopement began with one simple question: “What if?” What started as a family vacation soon became something much more meaningful. The Florida couple first met while working for the same company. Later, they quietly got engaged at home. However, Monica wanted a wedding day that truly honored their relationship and family. So, they chose Polo Beach for an intimate celebration designed entirely around them.

The ceremony unfolded beside a vibrant circle of tropical flowers overlooking the ocean. Monica looked incredible in a fitted mermaid gown and colorful floral hairpiece. Meanwhile, Joshua wore a neutral suit paired with a fresh maile lei. Their children completed the relaxed island look in beige pants and crisp white linen shirts. Together, the family looked elegant, joyful, and completely at home beside the sea.

Afterward, Monica and Joshua wandered along the shoreline as golden light warmed the beach. They laughed beneath the palms and shared quiet moments beside the lava rocks. Then, the Maui sunset arrived in a dreamy wash of soft color. Their celebration felt personal, vibrant, and full of heart. Most importantly, it honored the beautiful life they had already built together.

A Maui beach elopement has a certain kind of magic, the kind that feels like it was written just for two people. Nick and Mike’s day at Ironwoods was exactly that.

These two turned a simple coffee date into a full day of connection that never really ended. They brought their Minnesota warmth to the soft, sunlit shores of Maui.

Standing barefoot in the sand, they exchanged vows with the ocean stretching behind them. Meanwhile, their closest loved ones formed a circle of smiles and happy tears. The floral arrangements tucked into the beach felt effortless and organic, as if they had always belonged there.

What stood out most was how easy everything felt. The laughter, the quiet hand squeezes, and the way they looked at each other like they were still on that very first date.

As the sun dipped lower, it painted the sky in soft golds and blues. Then, they wandered along the shoreline, stealing kisses between waves and wrapping each other up in that just-married glow. It was intimate, joyful, and deeply personal.

Ultimately, it proved that you don’t need anything more than love, a beautiful place, and the right person beside you. Congratulations, Nick and Mike, on a truly unforgettable beginning together.

From hello to I do

How Do You Elope in Maui?

Eloping in Maui takes five simple steps, from picking your date to saying I do on the sand.

  1. 1

    Pick your date and time.

    Mornings give a bright, tropical look and sunsets give warm, golden light. Midday sun is harsh for photos, so we don't recommend it.

  2. 2

    Choose your package and book.

    A completed booking form and a 50% deposit hold your date. The balance is due two months before your wedding.

  3. 3

    Apply for your marriage license online.

    It costs $65 online ($60 application plus a $5 portal fee), and you can apply up to a year ahead.

  4. 4

    Meet a license agent on Maui.

    You both go in person with photo ID. There's no waiting period, no residency rule and no witness requirement, and the license is good on every island for 30 days. Our Hawaii marriage license guide walks you through it.

  5. 5

    Say I do.

    Your officiant and photographer meet you on the sand. A sneak peek of about 20 photos arrives within a week, and your full gallery in about 4 to 6 weeks.

Good to know

Maui Elopement FAQs

Updated November 2026

How much does it cost to elope in Maui?

Our Maui elopement packages start at $1,850 plus tax for the officiant, photography and beach permit. Maui Elopement on the Beach, at $3,100 plus tax, adds an on-site coordinator, a bridal bouquet and two lei. Extra photography is $375 per half hour.

Do you need a permit to elope on a Maui beach?

Yes. Beach weddings on Maui need a State of Hawaii beach permit, and every Simple Maui Wedding package includes the permit and liability insurance. Permit rules also mean no chairs, arches or alcohol on the beach.

How many guests can come to a Maui beach elopement?

Our Just the Two of Us package is for couples with no guests, and Maui Elopement on the Beach welcomes up to 10. Chairs aren't allowed on Maui beaches, so for any beach wedding we recommend 15 guests or fewer so everyone can see and hear your vows. For a bigger group, one of our Maui wedding venues is a better fit.

Do you need witnesses to get married in Hawaii?

No. Hawaii does not require witnesses, so your ceremony can truly be just the two of you, your officiant and your photographer.

What is the best time of day to elope on Maui?

Morning or sunset. 86% of our Maui elopements happen at sunset for warm, golden light, and mornings give a brighter, more tropical look. Midday light creates harsh shadows in photos, so we don't recommend it.

Can we bring our own photographer?

Photography by Karma Hill Photography, our sister company, is part of every package, so our packages aren't offered without it. That's how we make sure every couple goes home with photos they love.
