Did Elmer and Joan find the perfect location for their Maui venue wedding, or did the venue find them? Either way, it was a match made in tropical heaven! Elmer, the ever-busy electrician/rancher, and Joan, a dedicated stay-at-home mom to their two beautiful daughters, Arielle (10) and Natalie (4), have a full plate, to say the least. Between managing their 80-acre ranch—with 50 mama cows, a couple of horses, three dogs, and a dozen hens—they somehow found the time to plan a magical island wedding. And thanks to our incredible team of Maui wedding planners we made it happen!
Originally, they had set their sights on the Philippines, but when the pandemic hit and restrictions popped up, they quickly pivoted. Now here is where Maui into the picture—less busy, more a country lifestyle, and exactly the vibe they were looking for. The island already held a special place in their hearts, having visited once before, and this time, they would make it the setting for their big day. After 13 years together, including love at first sight (thanks, Elmer’s ice cream invite!), two kids, a home, and a life they built together, it was time to make it official!
Their day at Gather couldn’t have been more perfect. A stunning tropical arch framed their heartfelt vows, with friends and family cheering them on. The celebration continued on the lush lawn, laughter filling the air before they headed to Southside Beach. There, a breathtaking sunset was the cherry on top of an already perfect day!
Congrats, Elmer and Joan! Here’s to many more sunsets, family moments, and ice cream dates in your future!
