Maui Venue Weddings

When Makayla and Kevin met at the flooring store they worked at, they would never guess they would build their own hardwood flooring business together as well as their family! This sweet couple has two adorable girls that loved seeing mom and dad all dressed up getting married. We loved being a part of their Maui venue wedding and were happy that we could create a romantic intimate day for them and their family.

Makayla and Kevin were planning on a big wedding back home in San Diego but obviously, that became impossible, so they re-focused and decided an intimate wedding in Maui would be a lovely way to get married and still make it special. We could not agree more, Maui is the perfect place to host a small wedding while creating beautiful memories.

Makayla wanted to do a first look with her dad before the ceremony. We just love this! Look at the expression on his face when he sees his little girl for the first time as a bride! He happiness and joy on his face is priceless.

Mahalo Makayla and Kevin for choosing us to be your Maui wedding planners, we loved being a part of your day!!

Abigail & Cody are a fun and carefree couple all the way from Louisiana!! They live on a farm back home and joked during their wedding that they came from the farm to paradise for their ceremony!! Maui shared with them its true paradise with a gorgeous pastel sunset and heavenly weather during their Maui venue wedding!

Abigail and Cody began dating in college. They were introduced to each other by mutual friends, and the rest is history really! They enjoy the outdoors, horseback riding, hiking, ATV’s, and really just love life as a couple. It means so much to have someone to share lifes joys with and that’s just what these two have found! Life partners in each other to do life with!!

It was such a pleasure meeting these two and capturing their sweet and fun personalities! Take a look at their gorgeous Maui wedding day here.

5 Palms is such a beautiful Maui venue wedding location that fronts Keawekapu Beach. We do lots of weddings here with larger guest counts but it truly is perfect for an elopement as well!

This is such a gorgeous photo of Abigail & Cody just before sunset. We love how the light is coming in from behind Abigail & Cody with the waves lapping up on the shore perfectly.

Mahalo Abigail & Cody for choosing us!! We wish you many years of love and happiness and hope to see you both back in Maui soon!!

Stacie & Andy have been together for about 7 years! They were engaged here on Maui 2 years ago and knew at that point Maui was where they wanted to get married! Maui is their happy place, their paradise, and they couldn’t imagine starting their married life anywhere else! With 43 of their friends and family in attendance, a Maui venue wedding was their perfect scenario for their ceremony.

Having a group of over 30, such as Stacie & Andy’s, make a venue wedding a must to ensure your guests are comfortable and parking isn’t an issue. A wedding venue such as the Five Palms in Wailea provides your guests with the ability to sit and hear the ceremony much clearer and enjoy the shade of the palm trees. Five Palms is the perfect South Side Venue location because it sits right next to the beautiful Keawekapu Beach making after photos just a short walk! Take a look at the pictures below to see the beauty it has to offer!

We asked this sweet couple what they were looking forward to most about being married and Andy immediately said they are looking forward to celebrating their anniversary here for all the years to come. We hope you do come back every year Stacie & Andy, and we hope we get to see you each and every time!!

It was a pleasure meeting you Stacie & Andy! We look forward to seeing you next year for some Anniversary Portraits!! hint hint!! 😉

Paige and Andrew had a sweet and simple gathering for the special day! Their venue wedding in Maui took place at Five Palms Restaurant in South Kihei. It’s a beautiful spot that overlooks the beach and ocean while accommodating larger group sizes.

Five Palms on Keawekapu Beach was the perfect ceremony location for their friends and family who were able to make the trip. Their loved ones were so incredibly happy that they were able to have their dream wedding in Hawaii. Unfortunately, Andrew’s sister wasn’t able to make it in person but she stayed up till 3:00 in the morning to make sure she could be there for them on Facetime. We could hear her warm wishes and love that she was sending over the phone to them. It’s very apparent that these two not only share so much love but they are loved by so many!!

Five Palms grassy lawn directly ocean front is one of our favorite locations for a venue wedding in Maui with easy beach access.

Paige & Andrew are both in the medical field. Paige is a Registered Nurse and Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner Student and Andrew is a Medical Student! We honor and thank them for everything that they have done through this pandemic. For a long time they’ve put other lives first, but today, their love comes first!

Paige was a stunning bride with a humorous and fun personality to be around. She made taking her portraits as easy as it gets, willing to be adventurous and explore the lava rock terrain. She also  communicated what was most important to her, the beach shots. We made sure to get some breathtaking wide shots and focus especially on the beautiful Maui backdrop.

Paige giggled with love every time she looked at her husband Andrew. It made for some perfect, natural smiles and moments that really captured their love for each other. 

Mahalo Paige & Andrew for choosing us to make your dream venue wedding in Maui happen! You were such a joy to work with and we wish you many years of love and happiness!

Madison and Austin have known each other from a very young age. They always had an undeniable connection and friendship and as they grew older they just grew closer and closer. This is a true definition of soul mates and these two were lucky enough to find each other early on in life. Many people spend a lifetime trying to find a love like this. We feel so blessed to have met them on this big step in their lives when they shared their commitment to each other during their Maui venue wedding. After meeting them and spending time with them we truly believe that love knows no age!!

We began documenting their special day at the bridal suite at Steeple House. It offered a private setting for Madison to slip into her dress and reflect on the moment she’d been waiting for. We snagged a couple shots of Austin prior to the wedding and we just love his classic black and white tuxedo and look.

Shortly after they stepped outside to the beautiful setup just out front of Steeple House. This spot highlights a secluded yet picturesque setting for our bride and groom. Their ceremony was officiated by Reverend Joe and then they were off to celebrate with family portraits and then couples portraits! You don’t want to miss all the gorgeousness in the pictures below so keep scrolling!!!

Madison & Austin shared their own personal vows with each other. They were so heartfelt and you could see and feel Madison tearing up with happiness. You could see just how much love and admiration Madison has for her husband and family. Austin’s mom was tearing up in the ceremony as well and you could just see how filled she was with joy that her son was marrying his best friend and partner for life.

Madison & Austin were the sweetest couple! She radiated with the love she received from Austin. You could tell he doted on her with everything he had and loved her deeply. And the same went for Madison and the love she felt for Austin.

We explored the top of the cliffs and Madison was the most easy going bride letting the train of her dress get dirty and embracing the adventurous landscape Ironwoods has to offer. We know they will love their timeless wedding photos that will speak wonders of their love for generations to come!

Mahalo Madison & Austin for allowing us to be a part of your special day! We hope that you enjoyed everything about it and we look forward to seeing you in the future!!

Kristy & Darius were surrounded by so much love for the venue wedding in Maui! They are actually a local couple blessed with being able to have their family join them on their big day! It was extremely important to them to have their loved ones present and thankfully the restrictions on the island lifted just enough to make that happen!

We call this story Love & Basketball because that’s where the chemistry began. Kristy had her eyes on Darius for quite some time, but it wasn’t until a pickup game on the basketball court that she really caught his eye.

Kristy & Darius dated for about 8 years before Darius proposed. He ‘Popped the Question’ at his birthday celebration with all their friends and family in attendance. We love how this sweet pair cherishes their family! We know as their family grows they will continue to adore each other and grow this new family bond.

Camden is 5 months old and their biggest joy!! In addition to tying the knot and having a beautiful baby boy, Kristy & Darius also bought their first home this year! 2020 brought amazing things for this sweet couple!

It was such a pleasure being a part of your big day Kristy & Darius! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it, your photos turned out amazing!

Check out our last Maui 5 Palms wedding on the blog here: https://simplemauiwedding.net/maui-venue-wedding-joy-david/

Malaya & Jarquece are first-timers to Hawaii and we can’t think of a better time to visit than for their Maui Wedding! It was a perfect afternoon for sharing nuptials along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. The sun was shining, the breeze was light, and their close family and friends were in attendance to share in the moment with them! It was so important to them to give their families a different experience for their wedding and bringing them to Maui was just that!

Malaya & Jarquece are high school sweethearts. They knew each other for a few years and became close friends before they actually started dating. It became clear to Jarquece that he wanted Malaya to be his princess forever. He proposed to her back in 2018 on a trip to Miami for her birthday. These two seem to enjoy the warmer, tropical weather, and we’re so glad they decided on Maui for their wedding.

This gorgeous couple chose 5 Palms, which sits right in front of Keawekapu Beach. It’s really the best of both worlds because you can enjoy an intimate ceremony with your close family and friends, then walk right out to the beach for pictures. We really enjoyed spending time with them and getting to know their sweet family! We hope you enjoy the pictures of their special wedding day.

Malaya looked absolutely stunning and she took Jarquece’s breath away as she walked down the aisle to him. Jarquece was looking pretty dapper himself in his maroon suit, Louis Vuitton belt, and white sneakers! Loving the unique style here!!

This Maui sunset was one for the record books on Malaya & Jarquece’s Maui wedding day. The purples and oranges painted across the sky created an epic backdrop for their couple’s portraits.

Mahalo Malaya & Jarquece for choosing Simple Maui Wedding! You were such a pleasure to work with and we wish the very best for you two!!

When your love is strong, and your bond is unbreakable, not even a global pandemic is going to get in the way! Samolia and Mark had originally planned for a beach wedding but switched to a Maui venue wedding at Gannon’s due to permitting group size restrictions. The intimate, quiet setting proved to be a lovely place to say “I do”.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds went down to the beach to get some iconically beautiful beach pictures. Being flexible is the key to having an enjoyable wedding in these uncertain times and we are so happy that Samolia and Mark chose us to help them through and make sure they had an amazing day!

Mark & Samolia celebrated their 5 year Anniversary on the first day of their marriage! It was clear during their vows that these two have so much love for each other. The both shed tears and so did their family and friends who shared in the moment with them!

Southside Beach was just a hop, skip and a jump away from Gannon’s and Samolia & Mark were sure to take advantage. Most of our private venues have a beach just a short drive or walk away from the ceremony location.

It was a perfect evening, a perfect sunset, and we got to share it with two very special people. Mahalo Samolia & Mark for giving us the honor of planning your Maui venue wedding. You were such a pleasure to work with and we wish you two many years of love and happiness.

For some couples, a destination wedding in paradise just seems out of reach. They prefer to celebrate back home where all their friends and family can attend. Others, like Tathiane & Joe believe a venue wedding in Maui is the perfect setting for a dream wedding! We asked the happy couple, “why a destination wedding in Maui?” They replied, “Because Maui is Our Place!”

Tathiane & Joe have been coming to Maui for the past 3 years together. It has become such a extraordinary place for them, they knew having their wedding in Maui was an absolute must. This beautiful couple was so excited that so many of their family and friends were able to join them in this momentous time in their lives.

Tathiane & Joe are a blended family of 6. This marriage was not only a union of the bride and groom but the uniting of two families into one. They included their 4 kids in the ceremony standing by their sides as they became one single family. It was a beautiful afternoon for a wedding and we are honored they chose Simple Maui Wedding to be a part of it!

A few tears were shed during their heartfelt vows as tears from the heavens also flowed. After their vows though, the rain stopped and they were blessed with a beautiful rainbow. The timing could not have been more perfect. Clearly they had someone watching over them and sharing in that exchange.

Check out our last Maui venue wedding on the blog here: https://simplemauiwedding.net/michelle-john-maui-venue-wedding/

Michelle & John were forced to just go with the flow this year! Like so many other couples their wedding plans had to be changed many times due to Covid. It’s funny though how sometimes things come together and you realize they are just as they should be. Having a small, intimate Maui Venue Wedding turned out perfect for these two. They were married in a beautiful ceremony surrounded by swaying palms and their closest family and friends.

The Rustic Hawaiian Ruins are our newest venue here on Maui. They offer a lush tropical setting in the historic ruins of the Kilohani Church. This is the perfect spot to say “I do” if you have over 8 guests. Beach weddings are currently restricted to 10 people total including vendors, but a private venue offers more flexibility.

A butterfly fluttered around them during the ceremony. Michelle felt that it was a sign from her grandmother being their for their special moment.

Michelle & John still hope to have a big wedding at home in 2021, but just in case that doesn’t work out, they’ve at least had a great wedding here in Hawaii!

John proposed to Michelle with the help of a sweet puppy last December. The puppy had a collar around it’s neck that read “Will you marry me?” Well played John!! A puppy is definitely the way to a woman’s heart!!

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding, Michelle & John! You were such a joy to work with and we hope to see you two in Maui again soon!

Check out our last Maui venue wedding on the blog here https://simplemauiwedding.net/maui-venue-wedding-joy-david/

Joy & David booked their Maui Venue Wedding a few months ago and we were all on the edge of our seats seeing if the state would open up for tourism in time. Thankfully the state travel regulations changed and everything just fell into place. Joy & David were able to get here with their closest family and friends and they enjoyed an intimate ceremony at the 5 Palms.

The morning of the wedding they were singing “Going to the Chapel and we’re gonna to get ma-a-a-rried” as they were playfully getting ready! They enjoyed that song so much that they decided to play it just before Joy walked down the aisle to David. The love and excitement that Joy & David share is so special! They were blessed with a rainbow just after their ceremony and they consider that a sign of good luck! We would have to agree, and we feel very lucky that you chose us to be a part of your special day.

We could see a rain shower slowly headed our way during the wedding & couples pictures afterwards but luckily it held off and they got great sunset shots, which was their dream for the wedding!

Mahalo Joy & David for choosing us to be a part of your Maui Venue Wedding. It was a pleasure working with you and meeting your beautiful families!!

Check out our last Maui venue wedding on the blog here: https://simplemauiwedding.net/backup-plan-perfection-nicole-averys-intimate-maui-venue-wedding/

Nicole & Avery, like so many couples, were blindsided by Covid-19 lockdowns and had planned a larger Maui venue wedding with friends and family. With restrictions on group size, restrictions on travel, and a statewide shutdown, Nicole & Avery had to put their backup plan into motion.

This beautiful couple thought 10/10/20 would be a perfect wedding date and decided to move forward with a simple plan. They found the perfect ceremony location and invited their closest family and friends to keep the group size down! We had to agree, this was the perfect backup plan and we were so excited to make it happen.

Their wedding venue, the King Kamehameha Golf Club, offers a beautiful mountainside setting overlooking central Maui. This private ceremony spot just past the Marilyn Monroe house sits right above a waterfall and pond and overlooks the golf course. Reverend Richardo officiated their intimate ceremony and pronounced Nicole & Avery husband and wife as their immediate family watched along! Sometimes the backup plan turns out to be the perfect plan and we’re reminded that everything is meant to be as it is!

Nicole & Avery’s little girl Aubrey couldn’t make it through the ceremony but she sure was adorable sleeping in her mommy and daddy’s arms afterwards. What a special moment for this sweet little family to share their love and commitment for each other.

Nicole & Avery met while Avery was working at Nicole’s Dad’s restaurant, Gianotto’s Pizza! We can all agree that Gianotto’s is a pillar in our community but we had no idea it was also a place where one can find their soulmate! Singles, take note!

After their ceremony we took full advantage of the picturesque setting on the side of Pu’ukukui Mountain range. The sun was shining, love was in the air, and we sure enjoyed capturing it.

Mahalo Nicole & Avery for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to coordinate your very special day! It was such a pleasure meeting with you and we look forward to seeing you around in Wailuku town!
