All of our Maui beach wedding venues have been hand-selected because of beauty, proximity to popular island locations, photographic backdrops and accessibility.
We have not included some beach wedding locations on Maui to our list of 9 beaches because of overcrowding. Customer experience is our number one priority, and maximum intimacy for your wedding is very important to us. Therefore some popular beaches are not on our list.
Also, if you want beach wedding photos with the intimacy of a private venue take a look at our Maui wedding venues to find a private ceremony location close to the beach. As long as you add on some additional photography time, these wedding venues can accommodate the quintessential destination beach photos as well as the privacy and beauty of a venue.
If for some reason Oahu, Hawaii is a better wedding location for you check out our sister company Simple Oahu Wedding. Go here to take a look at their Oahu Beach Wedding Venues and everything they provide.
