Maui Beach Weddings

The excitement leading up to Trisha and Nate’s Maui Wedding was so strong it was almost tangible! As they both put together the finishing touches on getting ready to see each other in their wedding attire, we could tell they were more than ready to be getting married. The moment Nate saw his bride make her entrance at Ironwoods Beach, he started smiling from ear to ear! This is exactly how every groom should react when they see the love of their life in their wedding dress for the first time, and Nate nailed it!

One thing’s for sure, these two make one good looking pair 🙂 . That’s not all they have going for them though, they also could not be sweeter together! We can tell by the way they act together that they will have a long and happy life as husband and wife. I mean just check out the way they embraced during their portraits with our sister company, Karma Hill Photography! Aren’t these newlyweds fabulous? We sure think so! Thank you, Trisha and Nate, for sharing your special day with Simple Maui Wedding. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Liz and Julien’s Maui Destination Wedding was an event to remember! From getting ready in the afternoon to partying until the sun went down, this day could not have been more perfect. They had such a great group of guests who treated the day so special but also were laid back and fun! Once our bride was all dolled up with the help of her friends and MeiLi Autumn Beauty, she was escorted down the aisle by her dad. We love that her bouquet included a touch of cobalt blue in memory of her mother, who was certainly there in spirit.

Afterward, they celebrated at the 5 Palms where they had fire knife dancing and even some hula lessons! We told you this was a Maui Destination Wedding for the books. It was such a treat for us to participate in such a festive occasion. One thing is for sure, with the amount of love these two have for each other, we are confident they will have a long and happy life together as husband and wife! Thank you, Liz and Julian, for letting Simple Maui Wedding celebrate with you on your special day, we had a blast! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

After meeting 10 years ago through mutual friends, Leslie and Michael were excited to get married at a Maui Beach Wedding! How lucky are this couple that their close group of friends were all able to fly out to Hawaii for this ceremony at Polo Beach?! Watching these two say, “I do” in front of those who helped bring them together was such a special experience. And one we are sure none of them will ever forget!

As this bride and groom exchanged heartfelt vows they couldn’t help but embrace for a quick hug during their Maui Beach Wedding, what a sweet moment! With so much love in the air, we are confident these newlyweds will have a long and happy life together as husband and wife. Thank you, Leslie and Michael, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with helping plan this very special day! We wish you all the happiness in the years to come. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Ana and Rodolfo were surrounded by loved ones at their Maui Beach Wedding! It was especially touching to witness as their 8-year-old daughter participated in the festivities as their flower girl. The morning started off in an impressive manner with the groom showing up early and so calm, the bride showed up right on time and was also calm! It’s obvious these two share a deep love and have complete confidence in each other and the future ahead!

They enjoyed their Maui Beach Wedding so much they even told us they would love to live here one day, and are excited to make plans to visit some of the other islands 🙂 . They tried to get in as much as they could while here on vacation, including driving the road to Hana and lots of snorkeling! These newlyweds and their wedding guests (including the groom’s sons and their daughter) were such a relaxed group, we loved getting to know them all. As our time wound to a close, they headed to celebrate the couple’s marriage with lunch at Nalu’s. Thank you, Ana and Rodolfo, for sharing your special day with Simple Maui Wedding! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

This bride and groom were so sweet together during their Maui Beach Wedding! Kristin and Rob are a fun loving couple, who couldn’t stop laughing and kissing throughout their wedding (and photos as you can see 😉 ). They thoughtfully decided to share their ceremony with family back home via a live stream webcast! What a great idea!

Rob loved coming to Maui with his late wife and was so excited to share this special place with his new wife! We love the sentiment of this gesture and hope these newlyweds will continue coming back to the island to make many more memories. After a beautiful morning at Lahaina Shores for their Maui Beach Wedding, this couple ended their day with a celebratory dinner at Mama’s Fish House! We can’t think of a more perfect day and are sure it is one these two will never forget. Thank you, Kristin and Rob, for including Simple Maui Wedding on your very special day! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Anna and Michael decided to make their entrance together at their Maui Beach Wedding! Watching as they stood holding hands behind their ring bearer and flower girl was a truly touching experience. We have confidence no matter what comes their way, they will always face it head-on with each other’s constant support by their side. That’s one of the best parts about marriage, experiencing and navigating every aspect of life together!

These two met in grad school, where they both studied in the field of science. It’s obvious learning together and helping each other reach their goals is one of their main priorities – which we love! With this being both of their first time to the island, they chose to have a Maui Beach Wedding because they thought it would be a great meeting point for their families who live in different parts of the mainland. Smart thinking Anna and Michael! I mean who would ever complain about being invited to a wedding in paradise, not anyone we know!

As their time at Baldwin Beach was brought to a close, these newlyweds headed to the Mill House for a celebratory dinner. This sounds like such a wonderful way to end an already wonderful day! Thank you, Anna and Michael, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to make this a day every bit as special as you hoped it would be. We wish you every happiness on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Tanis and Gregg were so grateful to have their children participate in their Maui Beach Wedding. Their story is one that had everyone smiling all evening long, and we are so excited to share it here. After dating for a few years in high school and college, they went their separate ways and married other people. 5 years ago Tanis called up Gregg and he asked her to go to dinner that weekend. They’ve been together ever since!

The moment their Maui Beach Wedding started with these teenagers making an entrance with Tanis at Lahaina Shores Beach, we knew this was going to be a very special occasion. The joy on all of their faces was so pure and strong it was almost tangible! Watching as this bride and groom were pronounced husband and wife was an incredible experience. The love they have for each other and excitement for the future ahead is truly inspiring!

We have every confidence they will have the most wonderful life together, starting with having a wonderful Thanksgiving Honeymoon in Maui. Sounds like a pretty great way to start a marriage to us 🙂 . Thank you, Tanis and Gregg, for letting Simple Maui Wedding celebrate with you at the start of this new chapter in your lives. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Marie and James met several years ago in NY and were so excited to be getting married. And we love the story of how they decided on a Maui Beach Wedding! Their friends’ (who live on the west side of the island and were in attendance) daughter recently got married with the help of Simple Maui Wedding. Marie fell in love with their photos and so she chose to have her and James’ wedding at the same beach and with the same company, us 😉 . It’s always fun when we are referred to our bride and groom and so we were extra excited to work with this adorable couple!

The week before their Maui Beach Wedding, Marie and James vacationed on Oahu so they got their marriage license in advance so they wouldn’t be stressed leading up to the big day. What a smart idea! As we had the opportunity to watch these two together, it was obvious to us that the bond they share couldn’t be stronger. The confidence they have in each other and in their relationship is truly inspiring! We love the excited yet peaceful looks on their faces as they stood together and were joined as husband and wife. This was a truly magical moment and one we are sure neither of them will ever forget! Thank you, Marie and James, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help make this day every bit as special as your relationship. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Janaye and Douglas were so great to work with for their Maui Beach Wedding! Coming from Vancouver Canada, they couldn’t wait to celebrate with loved ones. Even though Janaye has been to Maui a bunch of times, this was Douglas’ very first time here and we are positive this is a trip neither of them will ever forget!

It was especially touching to see this bride and groom with their adorable 1-year-old son! It’s obvious they love the life they have built together and cannot wait to see what the future holds. As this couple stood together, encircled by a beautiful flower arrangement on the sandy beach, it was evident they share an unbreakable bond. After their beautiful ceremony, these newlyweds took advantage of the epic scenery at Ironwoods Beach for some couples portraits with our sister company Karma Hill Photography. Unfortunately, it started raining pretty hard at the end of the evening but luckily they still managed to get a few dramatic shots on the cliffs overlooking the ocean. We are obsessed with how incredible Janaye’s wedding dress looked draped along the lava rocks! This couple rocked it at going with the flow and embracing every moment at their Maui Beach Wedding. Thank you, Janaye and Douglas, for sharing this special occasion with Simple Maui Wedding! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

View our recent wedding: A Vision in White Lace ~ Chelsea & Ryan’s Maui Elopement 

An outdoor wedding is the most popular choice for most of our couples. They are beautiful, scenic and the beach is a huge part of why our couples choose to get married in Maui. The only downside to an outdoor wedding is the fact that we are not in control of the weather! This can be a stressor at a time when you should be relaxed and happy, but don’t worry, we got you! A major part of our job here at Simple Maui Wedding is helping our wedding couples feel as stress-free as possible. So we’ve come up with the top five tips on the best way to have a fabulous Rainy Maui Wedding, no matter what.

1. DO NOT LOOK AT THE WEATHER FORECAST

Forecasting weather for a tiny island in the middle of a vast ocean is very difficult and the forecast is often wrong. Honestly, even the live weather feeds are rarely accurate. Keep in mind this is the tropics and it will almost always be raining somewhere on the island, just not necessarily where you will be getting married. Maui has many microclimates and it can be wet in one spot and dry a mile down the road.

So stay calm and think sunny thoughts! We are confident, rain or shine this day is going to be every bit as special as your relationship. If it does end up stormy on your wedding day, rest assured we have things under control and are working on a fabulous backup plan! We want nothing more than for your special day to be beautifully memorable.

If the weather isn’t ideal, we always try our best to relocate beach weddings in order to offer you the most enjoyable experience. However, if you’re up for it, a ceremony with light showers can turn out really cute and fun IRL (in real life) and on camera. We’ve had some of the best times with our couples when they were sprinkled with extra luck on their wedding day. Plus, oftentimes you’ll even see a rainbow or two and your chances of an epic sunset also go up! Don’t believe us? Check out these photos. They might even have you secretly hoping for a rainy wedding just to get some epic shots similar to these 😉 .

2. Be Prepared

Our lead coordinator Emily says that preparing for a rainy wedding both mentally and physically will help in the event it does rain. Our onsite wedding coordinators are absolutely incredible at what they do! Regardless of the weather forecast they are always prepared and have a few umbrellas on hand. When the chances of rain are more likely we stock up with all the umbrellas available. If you or wedding guests are worried at all we also invite you to bring rain protection. Most hotels have fancy umbrellas you can borrow or your guests can rock a clear plastic poncho from the ABC store. Preparing yourself mentally to be happy no matter the weather will also help. If you keep in mind you are marrying the love of your life and that is what the day is all about, no amount of water can put out that fire you have for each other!

These bucket umbrellas helped keep this couple dry on their wedding day and also made for cute props in photos.

3. Think About an Updo Hairstyle

Regardless of what hairstyle you choose, your photos will be amazing! One reason we only work with our sister company, Karma Hill Photography, is because we recognize how important your wedding photos are! We do our very best to coordinate the details of your dream wedding so it will be an incredible in-person experience, as well as look incredible in photos. So we get that you want to make sure you look good on your wedding day and not like a drowned rat, we would never want that either!

Due to the unpredictable weather and common winds in Maui, we suggest a bride consider a hairstyle that will not get blown around too much. An elegant updo or pulled back bridal hairstyle not only looks stunning but it also will help keep a bride’s hair from looking ruined in the rain. Most of the time you can hardly tell from the photos that it even rained, that is unless the photographer is purposefully trying to capture a dramatic rain shot! If you use one of our trusted hair and makeup vendors, the chances of your hair and makeup lasting in the rain is much better than if you tackle it on your own. They have proven secret ninja beauty secrets to keep our brides looking stunning in the heat, rain, and wind!

This bride and groom looked incredible together despite the rainy weather at their beach wedding.

A bonus tip for you grooms out there: It’s always a good idea to wear an undershirt and dark pants at a beach wedding. This way if the weather does turn for the worse your shirt won’t end up see-through and your pants won’t show dark rain spots. We promise you’ll thank us for this added suggestion, and so will your bride 🙂 .

This groom and his groomsmen embraced already being wet from the rain to splash around in the crashing waves.

4. Choose a Location in South Maui

If you want to reduce the chance that you will get rained on, choose a beach location in South Maui. This area of the island is almost always sunny, which is why it is the area we recommend most for weddings. However, nothing is ever 100% guaranteed. When it does rain at Southside Beach the epic lighting and incredible sunsets at this spot never disappoint. We’ve had some of the most beautiful rainy weddings at this location.

5. Consider a Maui Venue Wedding vs. a Maui Beach Wedding

If rain is a major concern for you and you’d rather play it safe we totally understand and highly suggest booking a venue for your wedding day! Most of our Maui wedding venues have an indoor and outdoor option so if it does end up raining you can always head inside for the ceremony.

If you’re considering having a Maui Venue Wedding for the possibility of an indoor ceremony, Steeple House is ideal! Their inside and outside settings are equally stunning, making it the perfect option if you want the comfort of having an awesome backup plan in place.

Whatever you decide, we want your stress levels to be low and we will take care of everything on our end to ensure this is one of the happiest days of your life!

We absolutely love how this wedding at Gannon’s turned out! The couple said, “I do” in front of the open doors so the lush greenery is still in their ceremony’s background. They even got to head outside for a few stunning sunset photos once the rain calmed down.

As you can see, rain on your wedding day doesn’t have to be the end of the world. In fact, it can make your day even more memorable and incredible! Our last advice is this, DON’T WORRY! If you make the most of it, we believe your wedding will be every bit as magical as it was for all the bride and grooms pictured above. Hawaii isn’t considered paradise for no reason. Having your wedding here will be an amazing experience regardless of what the weather forecast might indicate. Trust us 🙂 .

Melanie and Bryan couldn’t have been sweeter together at their Maui Beach Wedding! After being together for 2 years after meeting on match.com they were so excited to start this next chapter in their journey together. Surrounded by their loved ones on this special day, these two were more than ready to seal the deal!

As the ceremony started out, little Ella scattered flower petals for the bride and her mother to follow on the sandy beach. She did an incredible job and looked so cute while grabbing a handful at a time. The moment Melanie made her entrance and found her way to her groom, Bryan’s face lit up with a genuine smile! It’s easy to see these two make each other the happiest and can’t imagine their lives without each other. They cannot wait to experience everything life has to offer as a married couple! We especially love that they made plans to go on a waterfall hike the day after the wedding with all their wedding guests and then the two of them plan to head to Ka`anapali for the rest of their honeymoon. What a perfect way to start off a marriage! Thank you, Melanie and Bryan, for sharing your special day with the Simple Maui Wedding team. We wish you every happiness! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

View our recent wedding: Revealing Something Blue ~ Brittany & James’ Maui Beach Wedding

We had so much fun with Brittany and James at their Maui Beach Wedding! They are originally from Georgia but live in Florida now. This was their first time to Maui, and they love it so much they are already making plans to retire here! We totally support this goal and can’t wait to have this fun sweet couple to come join us on the island permanently 🙂 .

This bride and groom had a beautiful ceremony at Southside Beach followed by a cake cutting and super adorable gender reveal! Brittany is just over 3 months pregnant and was so excited to share this moment with their family at their Maui Beach Wedding. They had a wedding guest bring a festive wooden box with leis inside that would reveal their baby’s gender. Such a fun idea! It was so cute to watch as these newlyweds and soon to be parents, reached into the box to pull out blue leis! Their reaction was the best thing ever, we absolutely love how enthusiastic James was. Clearly, he is excited to be a father of a little baby BOY! With how loving these two are with each other, we have no doubt they will rock it at life. Thank you, Brittany and James, for sharing this special day with the Simple Maui Wedding team! We wish you all the best in the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
