Let us just start by saying: if love had a color, it would be the exact shade of the Maui sunset the night Jennifer and Alex said “I do” at their Maui venue wedding. You know the one—soft peach melting into coral with a splash of gold that makes everything look like it’s been dipped in a romantic filter. That was their light. That was their moment. And oh wow, it was perfect.

Jennifer, a brilliant oncology nurse with the kind of heart that could hug the whole planet, met Alex—construction manager and tennis enthusiast—on Hinge during the weird, wobbly chaos of COVID. (Proof that even a global pandemic can’t stop fate when it has plans.) Three years, countless walks, workouts, rollerblading afternoons, and deep love later, he proposed next to a sparkling lake in Chicago with the skyline as their witness. Romantic, right?

Their wedding at the Andaz Maui was the embodiment of everything they cherish: nature, beauty, meaningful connection, and a little ocean breeze to carry the magic. Before the ceremony, they shared a first look that was straight out of a movie. Alex stood waiting—nervous, excited, completely smitten and he turned around? The way his face lit up… it said everything! It was private, powerful, and absolutely unforgettable. It was a moment they both will never ever forget! Curious to see more of their amazing day? Keep reading!

Personal & Perfect

And then came the ceremony. Surrounded by their favorite people, they exchanged vows with the sea behind them, the wind whispering blessings, and the light turning them into a postcard. Jennifer looked stunning in a lace dress that honestly deserved its own standing ovation, and Alex in his sharp tux? He looked like the ever perfect gentleman.

They laughed, they cried, they glowed. Their Maui venue wedding ceremony was all the feels. It couldn’t have been any more perfect or personal. From the stunning setting on the lawn to the serene beach beyond, it was everything they dreamt of and more!

And as the sun dipped low, casting everything in that once-in-a-lifetime golden haze, they took their first portraits as husband and wife. The kind of portraits that make you believe in love stories and happy endings and the power of a well-timed sunset. And how gorgeous is her bouquet?! It’s the same colors as the amazing sunset! Picture perfect.

To Jennifer and Alex: congrats on your epic Maui wedding! May your love always feel like that first look—filled with awe, intimacy, and a whole lot of joy. And may every walk, every adventure, every tennis match or rollerblade ride, be just another chapter in your beautiful, shared story.

Love & Laughter – Jennifer & Brett’s Maui Beach Wedding

Some love stories are written in the stars—others, in the fuel industry! Jennifer and Brett’s journey to “I do” may have started at work, but fate had a way of bringing them together at just the right time. We were honored they chose us for their Maui beach wedding! With a deep love for laughter,

Tien and Jacqueline’s Maui venue wedding day at the Andaz Resort in Maui was a delightful celebration filled with joy, love, and the warmth of friends and family. Their journey began at a dental school’s welcome weekend in April 2019, where they quickly hit it off over dinner at the same restaurant. Their bond grew stronger over the summer, and by the time school started, they were inseparable.

Fast forward to May 2023, Tien and Jacqueline graduated, moved to Dallas, and began their careers in dentistry. Jacqueline practices as a general dentist, while Tien is completing his residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). In their free time, they enjoy being homebodies with their four cats, dining out, playing pickleball, and binge-watching the latest shows and movies! Two peas in a pod! So we were delighted when they contacted us to coordinate their special day! Re-live their beautiful celebration through these highlights below!

Tropical Elegance Done Right

Their proposal story is as enchanting as their wedding. Tien surprised Jacqueline with a proposal at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, using a ring his mother bought for him when he was four years old, reset in a simple golden band. How touching is that?! Just about the sweetest thing we’ve ever heard!

Choosing an intimate Maui wedding, they exchanged vows on the beautiful Laule’a 3 Lawn at Andaz Resort, marked by a stunning greenery arch. And of course the star of this site, the old-growth Kiawe tree! The ceremony was intimate and beautiful, reflecting their desire for a special moment shared with loved ones without the stress of a large, extravagant event..exactly what Simple Maui Wedding does best!

Jacqueline looked exquisite in her minimalist wedding dress, and Tien was handsome in a classic tux. They both were a sight to behold against the tropical greenery! Their happiness was contagious, radiating through every portrait… The newlywed portraits by the beach were especially romantic, capturing their love in the most picturesque setting. The sun, sea, and their glowing smiles made for truly unforgettable moments they will surely never forget! Our sweet couple were also blessed with an incredibly sublime sunset as you’ll see below!

Happy Moments

So you may be wondering where this incredible venue is… It’s the oceanfront lawn at the luxury Andaz Resort in Wailea! Kalia and Justin fell in love with the island when they visited in 2021, so the idea of a Maui venue wedding seemed like the ultimate dream for their big day! “I would love everyone I care about to at least see and enjoy its beauty at least once in their life,” Kalia told our wedding coordinators. As you can imagine, all of their guests were beyond thrilled to be there; it was a vacation for them, too! Our sweet couple originally planned on getting married at Olowalu Plantation House, but due to the recent wildfires, our nimble team made the seamless venue change. If couples have any concerns about the recent wildfires, our wedding coordinators are happy to assist in changing venues and locations without a hitch.

They exchanged their vows under the magnificent old-growth kiawe tree set against the turquoise ocean. The vibrant tropical floral arrangements and the verdant foliage illuminated in the sun really make their wedding photography pop!

Kalia and Justin were smiling ear to ear throughout their entire intimate ceremony. Their love and deep friendship were palpable; these two have been dating for six years! We couldn’t be happier for them both!

It wouldn’t be a complete Maui venue wedding without some newlywed portraits by the ocean! Our photographer whisked away our delightful new Mr. & Mrs. to the beach just out front of the venue. How exquisite do they both look? Kalia in her embroidered lace gown and Justin in his ocean blue suit took our breath away when they walked down the white sandy shoreline. Simply stunning! We are so happy they chose Simple Maui Wedding to make their dream tropical wedding come true!

Maui Wedding Venue – Andaz Wailea

This luxurious and private venue is situated right in the center of Wailea, on Maui’s Southwest Shore. This area, in general, is known for its spectacular sunsets and breathtaking views, home to some of the most beautiful beaches on the island! And what we love most about the Andaz Wailea as a wedding venue is the resort’s stunning beachside lawns. Lawns, Laule’a 1 or Laule’a 3, are surrounded by the natural splendor of the ocean and lush tropical greenery.

Both are stunning options for a Maui venue wedding! Laule’a 1 offers broad ocean vistas and swaying palm trees, creating a tropical and intimate setting. Laule’a 3 features a majestic, old-growth Kiawe tree that creates a distinctive and visually stunning backdrop. With both venues, couples have flexibility with their décor and design. Andaz graciously provides wood cross-back chairs for each ceremony and a sheltered area just in case the weather isn’t as pleasant!

(Laule’a 3 is featured)

Room Blocks & Reception Options

Not only does this venue offer two beautiful locations for an intimate, private ceremony, but the resort offers the option to block rooms off for you and your guests for convenience and simplicity. This makes your wedding experience far more enjoyable without the hassle of traveling throughout the day. We’re all about making your wedding day simpler! You can arrange a room block directly through the resort or via our preferred agent.

What’s even more convenient is after your vows, you can celebrate in style with your guests with a reception in one of the resort’s elegant private rooms or fine restaurants. Andaz‘s hospitable team will happily accommodate to your needs with a wide range of delicious culinary delights and local specialties.

Styling Experts – Vendors Creating The Magic

Bringing all the elements together for this styled shoot was so much fun – from the stunning setting to the little details of the day. The bohemian details with a touch of tropical flair were present throughout the shoot, which felt fresh and unique!

Hair and Make + Floral

Salon 253 Bride worked their magic again with our bride’s beautiful plaited hair! Her makeup was done meticulously by the talented team at Salon 253 with a soft natural look. Her long golden tresses paired with a lovely haku flower crown by florist Colie Marie Design Co was the perfect style for this tropical bohemian shoot. Our bride’s tulle gown reflected the beachy atmosphere, hinting at the white frothy waves just beyond the lawn… What an excellent collaboration to bring out the bride’s beauty.

Decor Specialists

Thanks to Colie Marie Design Co for the beautiful tropical bouquet and amazing chair arrangement. The flowers looked so vibrant and the colors were perfect for an outdoor Maui wedding inspiration shoot.

Kiawe Outdoor created the perfect lavish weddinging setup. Peacock chairs, plush bohemian decor, feathers, candles, and tropical blooms artfully set the tone for this spectacular aspirational shoot. With Hawaii’s lush scenery as our backdrop and gorgeous details, the outdoor venue was the perfect romantic escape for our couple.

Models

Thanks to our gorgeous models Chelsea and Cody who are actually newlyweds! You both looked relaxed under the magnificent Kiawe tree overlooking the beach. We are so lucky to have you both help create this beautiful wedding scene…with a sip of champagne, of course!

Andaz Wedding Photography Coverage

After relaxing at our luxe bohemian spread, our couple walked around the grounds for a few romantic sunset portraits against the ocean backdrop. Our highly skilled team of photographers at Karma Hill Photography will capture all the best elements (both natural and any decor) of the setting for each portrait, ensuring our couple’s Maui wedding photography is dynamic with flattering angles within the tropical splendor.

Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee there will be no passers-by or beachgoers on the public beach in front of the lawn, but thanks to our skilled photographers and the magic of our talented editing team, we ensure each photo will be just the two of you savoring the moment of your big day!

The beach is just a few steps from both of Andaz’s ceremony sites. When planning your ceremony our coordination team can ensure you have time in your photography timeline to add on beach photos. For this styled shoot, the photography team was focused on the ceremony location and all the fun details!

To start their intimate ceremony, their friends and family gathered under the magnificent Kiawe tree on the Laule’a 3 Lawn, just one of two gorgeous oceanfront lawns offered in our Andaz Resort Wedding Package. Kathyrn and Joseph hail from Tacoma, Washington, so you can imagine they were delighted to bask in the sunshine and tropical temperatures in mid-February! The gorgeous scenery and tropical flower sconces provided all the natural decor in the simple, elegant style they hoped for…

Since our charming pair visited Maui for the first time last year, they fell in love with the island and knew they wanted to return and get married here! So they were beyond happy to exchange their vows in our newest venue location in paradise, making it feel even more special for everyone. It was fun, carefree, romantic, and relaxed…just how they wanted their Maui venue wedding to feel!

More Than A Dream

After their beautiful ceremony, we were excited to photograph our newlyweds in the gorgeous spots this tropical oceanfront venue offers! Since Joseph and Kathryn are nature lovers, we captured several stunning portraits with their friends and family under the towering tree and the surrounding tropical foliage. This is the perfect spot for a couple wanting privacy yet being outdoors in a natural oceanfront setting without the beach crowds…

The Best Of Both Worlds

Another fantastic and dramatic setting for newlywed portraits is the striking entrance of the resort. It’s bold and minimalistic, making it a beautiful contrast to the portraits taken in the lush natural surroundings outside.

Naturally, our newlyweds wanted to head down to Mokapu Beach in front of the resort for some more intimate portraits. After all, when in Hawaii…! This beach is truly stunning because it has a variety of backgrounds for stunning photos, such as lava rocks, turquoise waters, and palm trees… And maybe a turtle or two! The natural beauty and marine life of Maui are what Kathyrn and Joseph love so much!

A Touch Of The Tropics

We love the tropical flair of their attire! Especially Joseph’s bright aloha shirt and Kathryn’s gorgeous tropical bouquet against her sparkly gown. Relaxed yet refined with a touch of aloha – a perfect choice for a Maui wedding!

With easy access to the beach, tropical scenery, and a private ceremony location, our Andaz Resort Package is truly the best of both worlds! Our newlyweds had an unforgettable wedding day which surely their guests are still talking about!
