When we asked Michael and Laura what they wanted their Maui Elopement to be, they told us “intimate and chill”. We think their Maui wedding ceremony was exactly that and more. It was also beautiful, moving and personal.
About The Couple
Micheal proposed to Laura at the top of her favorite hiking trail “sweaty and dirty” which she joked is their natural state. We’d say they clean up pretty well! We love their bridal style, with Laura’s lace dress gently blowing in the breeze and Michael’s blue suit complimenting the ocean, they looked perfect for their beach wedding.
They had talked about a courthouse wedding to take care of the legal side of the marriage, but then remembered they had a trip already booked to Maui. They decided to turn the vacation into a wedding and honeymoon! What a great idea! A beautiful intimate way to start your journey together as husband and wife.
They decided to make the drive together from the opposite side of the island rather than wait to see each other at the ceremony. This worked great for them and took a little of the pressure off, which kept the “chill” part of what they wanted. The ceremony started with a conch shell blowing and tears being held back. When they said their custom vows to each other, the tears could not be held back any longer. We loved how sweet they were to each other and the fact they took the time to write down their feelings and share them in such an intimate way.
Thank you, Laura and Michael, for including us in your “intimate and chill” wedding, we loved every minute of it! We wish you both the best in all your future adventures together!

When Abi & Olu’s Maui Elopement photos came into the office after their wedding the whole team was all “ooooohing and aaaahhhing” over just how gorgeous they were. Not only was their love radiating from the photos, their bridal style and floral was ridiculously on point.
Abi’s form-fitting mermaid dress with a flowing train looked stunning on the beach and on her! Olu’s tailored blue suit was perfect for the overcast morning weather, the soft tone complimented the sky and ocean perfectly. We also LOVED the custom bouquet Abi chose with the all-white tropical flowers and flowing greenery.
The Couple’s Story
They met through a mutual friend of Abi’s, they didn’t live in the same city but when Olu came for a visit they quickly fell in love! They are both active in their church and enjoy volunteering as a quality way to spend time together. They chose a Maui wedding because they didn’t want a traditional wedding and getting married on the beach sounded perfect. Although they had never been to Hawaii before, they loved everything about the idea of having a destination wedding.
The Wedding Day
They decided on a morning wedding because they wanted bright blue ocean in their photos, but Maui decided that it was going to be soft overcast light that morning. We actually LOVE the way it turned out in photos making everything look so dreamy. We also loved the fact that Abi wanted some getting ready photos. It helped document the day and showed the process of getting ready to marry her sweetheart. After an intimate ceremony, the couple turned on their modeling skills for some gorgeous couples photos, they were so natural in front of the camera! They then had the rest of the day to enjoy together and get the honeymoon started!
Thank you Abimbola & Oluwapelumi for trusting us to plan your Maui Elopement! It was truly our pleasure to have been a part of your day!

When this couple started planning their Maui Elopement with us, we could immediately tell they were extremely laid back. Laurie especially! Kyle even joked, “she makes a terrible bride” because she still hadn’t gotten her dress 3 weeks before the wedding, haha. But she ended up with one of the most stunning wedding dresses we’ve ever seen!
We absolutely loved working with this bride and groom and were so inspired by their carefree personalities and way of interacting with each other. After being together for 6 years, these two have a very in sync relationship. And we are dying over how they met!
Tinder Success Story
Laurie had downloaded the Tinder app for fun not planning on really using it. But, sure enough, they both swiped right and got matched! They happened to have lots of mutual friends so she let us know she was able to “check if he was a psycho” and avoid a date turned horror story🤪. Has anyone else been listening to real crime podcasts? Our entire team is hooked!
Wedding Portraits
After an intimate Maui Elopement ceremony led by Reverend Joe Miles, our newlyweds were ready to showcase their love for the camera! When they’d mentioned previously that they “just wanted a couple of nice photos.” we told them they’d get that PLUS more, LOL. And our sister company delivered, just see for yourself!
The island was showing off extra hard with the soft lighting and glowing moon. This was Laurie and Kyle’s time here and Maui really left an unforgettable impression! And we feel the same way about these two.
Thank you, Laurie and Kyle, for letting us celebrate with you at your Maui Elopement. We had the best time getting to know you both and can’t wait for you to return, maybe on a special anniversary trip! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Melissa and Sandy live in Austin but also own a place here in Kihei so they come here a lot, and were excited to have a Maui Beach Elopement. Their excitement was magnified by the excitement of starting this next chapter of their lives not only as husband and wife, but also as mom and dad! Our bride is pregnant and they’re naming the baby Makena. So sweet!
After getting ready with the help of Maui Makeup Artistry, Melissa was ready to meet up with her groom at Maluaka Beach. Sandy was waiting for her as she pulled up, eager to see her in her bridal glory! We love that they were able to share this moment prior to their ceremony and then walk over to the sandy beach together.
Finding Love Unexpectedly
When Melissa and Sandy first met, neither of them were looking for love but when they saw each other everything just clicked! It’s easy to see they share a natural connection. And we just love the way they look at each other with pure joy. We have no doubt these two will experience a lifetime of happiness with each other and their growing family!
Thank you, both, for sharing such a beautiful evening with Simple Maui Wedding. We are honored we could be part of your Maui Beach Elopement and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Lara and Joel are such an amazing couple and we felt truly honored to be part of their special Maui Elopement! Our bride grew up coming here every Christmas with her family. And then when Lara and Joel came together last year, they knew they wanted to elope here 🙂 .
So while they would have loved to spend their wedding with family, a beach wedding in Maui just seemed like the perfect fit! And they are having a party at home next summer. They loved the lava rocks at Ironwoods and their ceremony photos were nothing short of breathtaking near the far left side of the beach! Big waves crashed in the nearby distance as they poured their hearts out to each other.
After a touching exchange of vows, it was time for wedding portraits that are seriously so beautiful! All in all, this truly was a day to remember and we love how intimate their Maui Elopement was! We cannot thank Lara and Joel enough for trusting us to help plan their special day. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We have been so excited for this couple’s Maui Beach Elopement, and we’re not the only ones who were eagerly awaiting its arrival! Paula arrived with three lady guests, she was so nervous and Debbie (her brother-in-law’s wife) said aloud, “FINALLY!” I asked, “Why finally?” They all laughed and Paula replied, “We’ve been together for 20 years!” lol! So it’s definitely about time they got married.
Personal Details
Before heading to the beach, Paula added a personal touch to her bouquet. She attached a handkerchief her great grandmother made, a pink ribbon, and pin. It was beautiful and she absolutely loved her bouquet!
It was a warm afternoon and the waves were small making the crashing sounds nice and subtle during their ceremony. It was a beautiful Maui Beach Elopement! After saying “I do” and signing the marriage license it was time for a very special surprise.
A Special Surprise
Kimo gathered all the guests and asked do we have any married couples here? And two couples raised their hands. Then he asked, “Why don’t we renew your vows right here and now?” Everyone laughed and said yes without hesitation!
Kimo then continued by saying “We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Paula and Damian. Because of their love for you, they’d like to honor your marriages by allowing you to reaffirm your love for one another on this joyous day and in this beautiful setting!”
John & Debbie and Kelly & Joe were super surprised! And it was funny because Damian’s niece and nephew were also in on the surprise and didn’t say a word. More tears were shed throughout the whole group during the vow renewal ceremonies!
A Day to Remember
Paula and Damian made this experience one to remember! And we are so glad we could be part of it. Thank you, both, for sharing such a special day with Simple Maui Wedding! We loved getting to celebrate with you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

We met up with Jessica and David on a gorgeous morning for their Maui Elopement at Southside Beach. This is one of our most popular locations for ceremonies because of the wide variety of scenery. From a soft sandy beach, lava rocks, and a beautiful area of greenery this setting has it all!
Our bride primarily spoke Portuguese, which our groom knows how to speak because he wanted to understand his Jui Jitsu teacher better. Wow! He was so adorable translating for her the entire time 🙂 . These two really were just so sweet together all throughout their Maui Elopement! And we are so glad we could be part of their special day.
Thank you, Jessica and David, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan such a beautiful occasion! We loved getting to work with you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Deanna and Sean decided to have a Maui Beach Elopement because they love being around the water and wanted a sunset backdrop. And even though we got a late start due to a sudden downpour, the colors in the sky did not disappoint! Just see for yourself!
Their Story
One of our favorite parts of helping plan this couple’s Maui Beach Elopement was hearing the story of how they met and got together. This bride and groom actually went to high school together over 20 years ago! They had a class together and were lab partners but never dated. But thanks to Facebook they reconnected and started taking trips between Arizona & Michigan to be together! And then Sean proposed when they were packing up Deanna’s stuff in Michigan to go live with him in Arizona!
We love that they ended up together and are so glad we could be part of their special day! Thank you, Deanna and Sean, for letting us celebrate with you. We wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

After meeting at a pub 2 years ago and getting engaged 1 year ago in Cancun, this couple was so excited to say “I do” at a Maui Elopement! With no guests, Danielle and David’s ceremony at Maluaka Beach was an opportunity for these two to focus on only each other and their love. What could be better than that?!
All throughout the evening we couldn’t help but notice the way this bride and groom looked at each other. It’s easy to see that they make each other so happy and we are so glad they found each other! Thank you, Danielle and David, for trusting us to help plan your intimate Maui Elopement! We loved being part of your special day and wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

It was Chelsea’s idea to get married on Maui at an Ironwoods Beach Elopement, she’s always wanted to visit and David was all for the idea! He’s a “go-with-whatever-chels-says” kind of guy 🙂 . He even said himself, “Hey! Happy wife, happy life. Right?” lol.
First Look With Dad
Before the ceremony started, Chelsea’s dad and our groom took their places prior to our bride arriving. We positioned David in his ceremony spot and just a few steps by the beach entrance, we positioned Chelsea’s dad so he could have a first look moment with his daughter! When Chelsea arrived with her mom, she was so excited and extremely happy when we put the flower crown on! She felt beautiful and went straight into the first look with her dad. They were both emotional and tried to hold back tears because she said if she cried during the first look, then dad would cry, and her makeup would be destroyed.
They collected themselves, linked arms and Reverend Joe Miles blew the conch shell so David knew it was time to turn around and see his bride for the first time. It was a beautiful moment!! And one we know none of them will ever forget. They had a beautiful evening and it even rained for the first time during their stay. So they were happy to know rain is a sign of good luck!
Intimate yet Documented
Chelsea and David loved the idea of having an intimate elopement at Ironwoods Beach and then sharing amazing photos from our sister company and videos from their GoPro at their reception with all their family and friends. And we think this is a great idea because then you get the best of both worlds!
Overall this was truly a day to remember and we are so glad we could be part of it! Thank you, Chelsea and David, for sharing your special day with Simple Maui Wedding. We loved getting to know you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

When Tara and John arrived for their Maui Beach Elopement, it was obvious how in love they are! There’s no doubt they’re “meant to be”. Just wait until you hear the story of how they met, it’s seriously so good!
At First Sight
Tara and John met in North Carolina at Happy Hour. John was on a business trip and never drinks but for some reason was pulled towards going to this bar. And when he saw Tara and that was it! Tara was actually filming on a T.V. show called Married at First Sight. So in the first few weeks of the show, John had to watch it!! And lucky for our groom, despite being a show favorite Tara left the show single and knew she wanted to be with John. The rest is history 🙂 .
Sweet Ceremony
We are so glad these two found each other and are so inspired by their love! Their ceremony could not have been sweeter! John typed out what looked like 4 pages of vows and bawled the entire time he was reading them, it was truly adorable. And even made our bride tear up!
Thank you, Tara and John, for sharing your inspiring love story with us and trusting our team to help plan a Maui Beach Elopement every bit as special as your relationship! We could not be happier for you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Melissa and Thomas embarked on a 15-hour adventure plane ride from Massachusetts for the Sunset Maui Elopement of a lifetime! And we are so honored we could be part of their special day 🙂 . We were greeted with beautiful soft sunset lighting that made our bride’s dress glow during the entire wedding and photos afterward! Just see for yourself.
Thomas admitted that he was worried there wouldn’t be much of a sunset because of the clouds but we always say “bring the clouds on”! That’s when we get the most beautiful sunsets sometimes! And Maui did not disappoint them with a gorgeous winter sunset that was just on fire. Seriously tho, it even blew us away!
Plus these newlyweds nailed all of their shots, laughs and intimate moments and were just a breeze to work with for their Sunset Maui Elopement. So thank you, Melissa and Thomas, for sharing such a beautiful evening with Simple Maui Wedding! We loved getting to know you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness as husband and wife.
