Lindsey and Austin’s Hawaii Venue Wedding featured bursts of pink, the sweeping view of south Maui, and a couple so in love it had us on cloud nine. Gannon’s Ceremony Lawn set the stage with a backdrop of glistening ocean and fuchsia bougainvillea blooms that perfectly matched our couple’s wedding colors. It was as if the island had been long preparing for Lindsey and Austin to say “I do.” 

The Hawaii Venue Wedding

We loved all the thought that went into the details of this Hawaii venue wedding. Sweet touches coordinated together with highlights of fuchsia pink. Lindsey and Austin brought their own sensibility to their ceremony while allowing us to take care of the big things so they could simply enjoy the beautiful moment together. 

Wearing navy with a pop of pink, Austin looks like a man about to marry the love of his life! Lindsey made her grand entrance draped in an elegant gown with a cathedral-length train and a veil fit for a queen. Her sweet smile says it all, she’s marrying her best friend. 

Lindsey and Austin knew they wanted to marry in Hawaii. Austin’s family owns a condo on Maui, and the two have enjoyed many beautiful days beneath the tropical sun. Gannon’s Restaurant in Wailea was the perfect location for Lindsey and Austin’s Hawaii Venue Wedding, not only is it a stone’s throw away from white sand beaches, but it also features an onsite reception area perfect for parties of all sizes. 

Also, that view! We mean the adorable couple, but the seascape is also great!

Our Couple’s Story

Lindsey works as a paralegal for a family law attorney, and Austin is an airline pilot for Frontier Airlines. It comes as no surprise that they both love traveling! Lindsey and Austin met online a few years ago. They got together for brunch and a football game, but it wasn’t the quarterback who made the epic shot, it was cupid! They hit it off immediately and the rest is wedding day history!  

Thank you, Lindsey and Austin, for selecting us to coordinate your Hawaii venue wedding. It was a joy seeing your Big Day unfold in such a magical and natural way. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead.

From the moment Nicole and Bryan set foot on the warm sand, we knew their Hawaii Beach Elopement was going to be something special. Set against the shore of Maluaka Beach, Maui did not hold back when it came to gorgeous lighting and scenery. With the sky layered in beautiful hues and the ocean gently humming in the background, this was a must-see Hawaii Beach Elopement! 

The Hawaii Beach Elopement

Nicole always knew she wanted to get married in Hawaii. And the reality was a dream come true and then some! We could not get enough of this stunning bride’s energy. As always, the Maui sun was magical, but the winner for warmth and a beautiful light that day was hands-down Nicole! We’re loving her sleeveless gown with drapes and drapes of chiffon and an eye-catching veil to match! And Bryan looked handsome in a coal-black suit with a blush tie, all while wearing the happiest smile. 

Our Couple’s Story

Nicole and Bryan both work in insurance. They met in the usual 21st-century fashion, through a dating app! From the moment they first met, they knew their connection was something special. Within a year, they brought a house together and have built an amazing life.

Two years following their first date, Bryan knew he was with his person. He arranged to propose in the comfort of the home they’d brought together, getting to his knee in the kitchen and asking Nicole to marry him. And the rest of the story is right here on our blog! 

Mahalo nui loa, Nicole and Brian, for trusting us with your Hawaii Beach Elopement. You were truly a joy to work with, and we were so thrilled to see your special dream become a reality! We hope to see you again in the future, but until then, we send our fondest Aloha.

Maui spread out her speckled clouds and brought all the beauty for Heather and J.R.’s Venue Wedding in Hawaii! Together on the lush lawn of the 5 Palms in Wailea, our couple tied the knot with their adoring loved ones watching on. With the bridesmaids in coral and the groomsmen in suspenders, this stylish wedding is a must-see! 

The Location of the Venue Wedding in Hawaii

The 5 Palms oceanfront lawn beautifully melds the perks of a venue with the jaw-dropping backdrop of a beach wedding. With the ceremony property literally feet away from the sandy shore, Heather and J.R. were treated to the kiss of the warm Maui sun and the invigorating salty breeze of the ocean. Does it get much better than that?! Add in true love and a gorgeous couple who’s not afraid to shout in celebration, and yeah, it does! 

Our Couple’s Story

Heather is an x-ray technologist at a hospital, and J.R. is the store manager of a Valvoline instant oil change. They met at a mutual friend’s house, and if Heather had an x-ray handy that day, she would have noticed J.R.’s heart was practically leaping out of his chest! Their family has made it a tradition to visit Maui every year, so Jon knew exactly where he’d propose. During a luau on the island, Jon asked Heather to marry him. And now their story comes full circle with a Venue Wedding in Hawaii! How beautiful are these two?!

Mahalo nui loa, Heather and Jon, for trusting us with your venue wedding in Hawaii. We had a joy working with you and look forward to your ten year vow renewal! Wishing you all the best in the years ahead!

Lindsey and Jordan wanted a small yet elegant micro wedding in Maui, and what they got was everything they’d hoped and then some! Having never visited the island before, they fell in love with Maui after their friends returned and shared their beautiful photos. With only a handful of loved ones in attendance, Lindsey and Jordan’s wedding was nothing short of gorgeous. Small in all the right ways and decorated with tropical goodness, this micro wedding in Maui is a must-see!

The Micro Wedding in Maui

One of our newest venues, the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins, set the stage with dramatic coral brick walls and a towering cross of driftwood. A hush came over the venue as Lindsey’s father walked her down the aisle. Carrying a bouquet of greenery with flowers grown on the island and wearing a flowing gown with a rhinestone bodice, Lindsey is simply stunning.

Reverend Kimo opened the ceremony with the traditional Hawaiian conch shell, and our couple took their first steps on the beautiful journey of marriage. 

Our Couple’s Story

Lindsey and Jordan met the old-fashioned way, through mutual friends! Lindsey works part-time as an occupational therapist assistant and shift manager at a retail salon and spa. While Jordan is a vendor for Little Debbie–no wonder this couple is so sweet!

Together they have two furbabies, an adorable Jack Russell and a beautiful Labradoodle. They love to hang out with friends and be outdoors together. Jordan proposed to Lindsey at an out-of-town winery, and the rest is in this blog! 

Mahalo, Lindsey and Jordan, for selecting us to coordinate your Micro Wedding in Maui. It was a gorgeous day, and you were a joy to work with! We wish you only the best in the decades ahead!

Teresa and David chose to elope in Maui to celebrate their love and the beautiful family they’ve created. With their two adorable kiddos watching on, Teresa and David tied the knot against the spectacular backdrop of Southside’s glistening shore. There was no shortage of love or cuteness at this Maui wedding! 

Wearing a gown designed by Katie May and iced with a tropical flower crown, Teresa looks gorgeous against the white sands. With an open back, a form fitting bodice, and finely detailed lace applique, this Maui bride is take-your-breath-away stunning! Just look at that smile!

Sporting a simple yet elegant suit by Ermenegildo Zegna, David looks pretty great himself! We think he takes the prize for “happiest groom”! 

When the special moment arrived, their six-year-old son stepped forward and pulled off the most important job on the beach, delivering the rings! We just loved his sweet smile yet serious composure as he pulled the rings from his jacket pocket. Keep scrolling for more sweet moments as Teresa and David elope in Maui! 

Our Couple’s Story

Teresa and David met through mutual friends and were engaged in Italy… on a gondola! Does it get more romantic than that? Well, their decision to elope in Maui is a pretty good bet! Six years and two kids later, Teresa and David, at last, get to share their wedding day, with each other and with their sweet children! Win, win, win!  

Congratulations, Teresa and David! We had a wonderful time celebrating with you as you eloped on Maui! We wish you and your family all the happiness in the decades ahead!

With the craziness of the pandemic, all Katherine and José wanted for their union was a relaxing and simple Maui Destination Wedding with their closest friends and family. We were thrilled to help Katherine and José turn their dream into reality all while keeping it easy and breezy, so they could just sit back and enjoy their Hawaii vacation! 

The Maui Destination Wedding Location

Overlooking the panoramic view of Keawakapu Beach, 5 Palms Restaurant is a spectacular location choice for a Maui destination wedding. With a manicured ceremonial lawn that melds the atmosphere of a beach wedding with the perks of a venue, guests like Katherine and José’s fantastic crew can watch the “I do’s” while sitting comfortably. And what a great view they had! How cute are Katherine and José’s smiles?!

Following the ceremony, Katherine and José stepped out onto the powder-soft sands to celebrate their union with gorgeous Maui Wedding Photography! 

Our Couple’s Story

Katherine and José met during their senior year in high school–in Mrs. Mendoza’s Spanish class, to be more specific. Although they were young, it was true amor, and they’ve been together now for over a decade! José works as a Biotech Sales Representative and Katherine works as an HR representative for a dermatological company in California. They have two fur babies named Simon and Sol, who they absolutely love and look forward to introducing to their future children.

Just before the world closed down in 2020, Katherine and José took a trip to Thailand. On the shore of a spectacular beach in Phuket, José asked the big question, and Katherine, of course, said yes! In her words, “It’s so special that we are getting married on the beach as well! Complete a full circle.” Keep scrolling for all the gorgeous beachy shots of this beautiful couple! 

Thank you Katherine & José, for choosing us to help turn your wedding dreams into a reality. It was a joy working with you, and we wish you all the smiles and love in the years ahead!

With only their adorable 20-month-old son in attendance, Hannah and Colby’s Hawaii Beach Elopement was filled to the brim with love and sunshine! On the shore of Poʻolenalena Beach, the weather was textbook “tropical goodness,” with soft skies and warm ocean breezes. It was truly a blessing to work with Hannah and Colby and their sweet son EJ to make this special day a reality. 

The Hawaii Beach Elopement Ceremony 

In quite possibly the cutest entrance we’ve ever seen, baby EJ walked Hannah down the aisle (with a little help from Mom, of course). Wearing a form-fitting gown with bead threading and a mermaid-flair train, Hannah even had the Maui ocean temporarily pausing in its tracks. We loved her beachy hairstyle with a floral demi-circle to match her rustic Hawaiian bouquet.

Sporting a beige jacket and a cabana print button-up by Ralph Lauren, Colby looks right at home against the backdrop of palm trees and sweeping ocean views. And of course, in a blue coral-themed shirt and adorable rolled up pants to match his dad, EJ is the perfect little guest of honor. We love how professional he was in his role! How cute is that face?!

Our Couple’s Story 

Hannah has her doctorate in psychology and has been taking a much-needed break to raise their sweet toddler. She recently accepted a position to work with kids with behavioral needs at the Yellowstone Academy in their home state of Montana!

Colby is a public affairs specialist for the US Department of Interior. He’s also studied media, produced short films, and worked as a photojournalist and video producer for the US Navy. His work has been published by news outlets like CNN and last year made the cover of The Economist Magazine!

Hannah and Colby’s “meet cute” is one of the best we’ve heard! Colby was visiting his brother-in-law’s tattoo shop when his brother-in-law snapped a photo of Colby and posted it on his own Facebook page. He told all of his followers that Colby was available and looking for love, and those interested should stop by the shop!

And who should walk through the door first but Hannah herself! She admits to seeing the post beforehand but SWEARS she had an appointment. She walked in expecting a tattoo on the skin and left with one on her heart as well. Beautiful impressions like these last a lifetime. Keep scrolling for more of this sweet family! 

Mahalo, Hannah and Colby, for trusting us with your Hawaii beach elopement. It was a beautiful day, and we had a wonderful time sharing it with you and your cutie. We wish you only the best in the years ahead!

Check out another elopement in Hawaii here: https://simplemauiwedding.net/anna-kyle-elope-in-maui/

Lisa and James confess that they “Love, love, LOVE Maui!” So, of course, they wanted to tie the knot with a Maui elopement! Ironwoods beach was the original plan, but rain was in the forecast, so we decided to relocate to the friendly skies of Lahaina Shores. With boats speckling the horizon and swaying palms in the backdrop, this Maui elopement was filled with beauty and a strong sense of unity. 

Our Couple’s Story

Lisa is a semi-retired banker, and James is a jack of all trades, working as an electrician and owning both real estate and a restaurant. Their marriage ties together two families, Lisa’s three girls and James’ son, daughter, and granddaughter. These two have plenty to smile about!

Lisa and James chose a Maui elopement because it was a natural choice. As we said earlier, they simply LOVE the island! So much so, that they even bought a condo! Consider the honeymoon lodgings covered!

Lisa and James met through business dealings nearly 20 years ago, but it wasn’t until five years ago when they embarked on their first date. After that, it didn’t take long before they were engaged in Chicago, and now here they are! Keep scrolling for all the sweet moments of this Maui elopement! 

Thank you, Lisa and James, for choosing us to coordinate your Maui elopement. It was wonderful getting to know you both, and we hope to see you again for couple’s portraits sometime soon! Until then, we wish you all the best in the decades ahead!

Jessica and Robert’s Maui Beach Elopement graced the powder-soft sands of Ironwoods Beach in Kapalua. Dynamic cloud coverage created soft lighting that cast the ceremony in dreamy tones of peaches and cream. With a beautiful couple and an endless love between them, this special day was flooded with positivity and those magical “Just Maui’d” vibes. 

The Maui Elopement Beach Location

When you’re looking for take-your-breath-away backdrops, it doesn’t get better than Ironwoods Beach. Tucked away on the island’s west coast, Ironwoods features plunging cliffs and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. This locale is truly “epic” in the most traditional definition of the word. What could possibly be more awe-inspiring than the beat of the ocean against the cliffside? Well, maybe we can think of something… Jessica and Robert’s love story! The deep looks and smiles shared between these two say everything. 

What They Wore 

Draped in an illusion-back gown by Jenny Yoo Elinor, Jessica is absolutely radiant. We love the subtle eye-contours of applique floral designs. With a cathedral train that elegantly drifts over the sandy shore and a flower crown in pastel hues to match her rustic Hawaiian bouquet, Jessica is an effortless beauty. 

Keeping it clean and simple, Robert looks beach-wedding ready in a short-sleeved button-down with khaki slacks and a perfect pair of loafers with woven accents. Keep scrolling for more of this amazing couple! 

Thank you, Jessica and Robert, for trusting us with your beautiful Maui Beach Elopement. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and helping to make your dream come true. We know your marriage will be strong and successful, and we wish you all the best in the many years ahead!

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.

Looking to create a stunning Dream Hawaii wedding? Get expert guidance and suggestions for save-the-dates, stunning floral arrangements, and a few of our favorite wedding extras. With our resources and expert recommendations, creating your dream Hawaii wedding has never been easier! So what are you waiting for? Let’s get started planning your special day today!

1. Get Married in Maui. Check!

Although this step is simple, we had to include it because there are so many location options to choose from! Maui’s venues and beach locations are all uniquely tropical and postcard-worthy. Our coordinators will help you narrow down your options to find the perfect location for you both.

2. Excite Your Guests with Styled Save The Date & Invites!

We’re confident that your guests and photographers will love these! Who wouldn’t be thrilled that they get to join you in Hawaii for such a momentous occasion? Additionally, these beautiful invitations are ideal for including in your wedding photos on your special day. Bonus if they have a tropical theme! It’s finally here—you’ve been looking forward to your Maui wedding for months!

3. Incorporate Lots of Tropical Florals

Definitely use tropical florals in your bouquet, lei, flower crown, or boutonnieres. With florals that are native to Hawaii, this added touch will have you and your guests indulging in the vibrant colors and scents Hawaii has to offer. You won’t regret having tropical flowers for days after your Hawaiian wedding ceremony!

And if you’re looking to add something extra special to your wedding bouquet, try incorporating orchids into your arrangements. Orchids are a popular choice in Hawaii since they come in a variety of colors and sizes, making it easy to create beautiful and unique floral designs. Whether you would like an all-white bouquet or one with several different types of foliage. Orchids are the perfect addition.

4. Add Aloha Print to Your Wedding Attire!

There’s a fine line between the perfect amount and overkill when it comes to wearing aloha print clothing on your wedding day. Be subtle with it. You don’t want your wedding attire be too distracting! 😉

A few key things to remember when wearing aloha print attire is to choose pieces that are comfortable, timeless, and made of quality materials. That way, you won’t have to worry about anything going wrong or feeling uncomfortable on your big day! Plus, your photos will look amazing in a classic aloha print or updated floral fusion print look.

5. Tropical Ceremony Decor

Okay, so you want a little more personal style added to your Hawaii wedding day? Simply decorate your ceremony with Hawaii plants, pineapples, shells, and all things tropical.

We’ve seen venues with arches of beautiful Hawaiian floral arrangements! With our couple’s concept in mind, we organized spectacular floral circles and exquisitely constructed pathways for beach weddings where arches are not permitted. These stunning images below speak for themselves as to what we can create…

6. Have Your Officiant Dress for the Occasion

Every Maui minister we work with is delighted to perform the ceremony of your dreams and is able to include Hawaiian elements! Including some Hawaii wedding customs into your ceremony will give it more culture and meaning. Your hand-selected officiant will perform traditional Hawaiian chants, blow the conch shell, and dress in traditional Hawaiian attire for an authentic island celebration!

7. A Lei For Each of Your Guests

We can easily arrange tropical flower or shell leis for each of your guests as another way to say thank you for coming and enjoying your wedding in Hawaii! They will feel the aloha spirit too!

8. Invite Vendors Who Specialize in Cultural Services

Serenade your guests through song or melody with our favorite ukulele musicians! Or go a step further and have yourself a personal Maui luau with a hula dancer as the musician plays. Enjoy the music and learn a little hula yourself while you’re at it!

Also available is The Catered Coconut for a sweet refresher after your ceremony! With fresh coconut juice made right before your eyes!

Leave your guests impressed with an experience they’ll never forget with these add-ons.

9. Don’t Forget the Extra Wedding Details

Everything from our “Just Maui’d” rental, to cute favors, cakes, cake toppers, and custom napkins (to name a few) will add personality to your Hawaii wedding day. When it comes to these details, the options are limitless! View some of our favorite additions here: Maui Wedding Add-ons. With our help, you can make your celebration as unique and memorable as you are.

A beautiful Hawaiian wedding is more than just the location, it’s the experience. From the lush greenery and unique culture to the refreshing trade winds and iconic beaches, there are endless possibilities for capturing your perfect day in the islands.

Feel free to contact us with any questions or to have us plan your Hawaii wedding here on Maui! We can’t wait to work with you!

Having a Hawaii wedding offers endless beauty in itself, but adding a few personalized touches here and there can really highlight your unique love story on your Special Day. We cherish all the little additions our clients have brought to their ceremonies, so we’ve collected some of our favorite Maui destination wedding ideas to share on our blog!

If you’re looking for Hawaii wedding details, we’ve got plenty of ideas and a ton of inspiration from our clients that we LOVE!

Getting Ready

The moments before you say “I do” are destined to become sweet and special memories of your Big Day. Our sister company, Karma Hill Photography, specializes in capturing the details that showcase your personality. From custom bridal robes and t-shirts to personalized hangers, these items make for great photographs to add to your wedding collection!

Jewelry

Another piece that deserves some attention are all the details that shimmer and shine! Of course, the wedding rings are a must, but you put time and thought into earrings and necklaces and everything in between, so why shouldn’t they be memorialized?

Rings and Ring Boxes

You can also bring those gorgeous rings and personalized ring boxes to the beach!! You don’t have to have “getting-ready” coverage to get those sentimental items photographed! Soft white sand and dark rugged lava rocks make for a gorgeous textured background for your Hawaii wedding details!

Bouquet Charms

These one-of-a-kind trinkets are so personal and special, and we absolutely ADORE them! Bouquet charms frame and display the dearest things to your heart, sometimes remembering a loved one and sometimes just sharing your personal journey. Whatever they represent, we want you to know that we treasure them too. We can help you select a custom bouquet with colors and blooms that emphasize the story behind your charms, and the Karma Hill Photography team will take special care to capture every sweet frame, so you can forever cherish these lovely wedding day additions.

Vows

These words come straight from the heart!! We love to hear the special sentiments you share on your Big Day, sometimes we even shed a tear or two. Although reading from cellphones definitely does the trick, we adore these special little booklets for sharing your vows. These are perfect Hawaii wedding details to be kept forever and cherished for generations!

Invitations

These mementos aren’t for everyone, especially if you’re eloping or just having a few guests. But if you do make them, bring them!! We were invited to your wedding, so we need to see all that loveliness that you put so much time and effort into creating! These will keep well in your memory box along with your vow booklets, and will make great additions to your photo collection.

Beach Decor

The beach is the most beautiful backdrop you could ask for, but adding a little decor never hurts! One of our favorite Maui destination wedding ideas is to bring fun little (State-approved) details to decorate the sand–or ask us how we can help spice things up a bit! We can add some flair to your beach wedding if you wish!! Ask us about our styled beach setup options!

Arch Decor

Another great way to add some color and style to your wedding is with a unique arch! Each of our beautiful venues has the option to add a custom arch, and with vivid floral decor or greenery, you’ll have an “I do” backdrop that really pops! While beach ceremonies are always stunning, you have much more flexibility with the decor at a Maui wedding venue!

Shoes

These little items aren’t always in the cards because you don’t really need them on the beach. We do love them though!! Your kicks really show off your personality. Whether they’re extravagant Badgley Mischka’s or your good ole’ cowboy boots, we want to see them! And our sister company wants to photograph them, of course!

Socks

These hidden gems add fabulous flair and we love to get surprise glimpses of them! While pineapples and blue stripes are perfect for the beach, you can’t ignore that sweet little sloth pictured here! Is it just us, or does everyone want a baby sloth?? Having a special someone who’s not afraid to rock the sloth socks is the next best thing!

Groom Swag

This one is immensely important! We all know it! While of course, the bride will be looking her best, we think it’s key to let the guys shine a little too with stylish Hawaii groom wedding attire! Let them bring in some personality with prints, whether it’s all over the outside, tucked inside the jacket, or on a tie or napkin in the pocket adorned by a charm! No matter what your personality is like, we want to embrace it!

Another great way to personalize the Groom Swag is to have embroidery done! This moment is so special and so memorable, and having that stamp of personalization really makes it official. After all, this isn’t just another suit, it’s your wedding gear.

Just Maui’d Signs

I mean, you’re getting married in Hawaii right? So shout it from the rooftops! It might be overused, but that is never going to stop us from using it! You can bring your own personalized Just Maui’d sign with you OR, even better, you can rent our custom circular Just Maui’d sign (pictured in the top right corner here) and save some room in your luggage for memorabilia! Ask your coordinator for details!

Other signage is gorgeous and fitting! And remember, you don’t have to have a reception to have a sign! Just check out the brilliant ways signs were used in the weddings below! One was set up on the beach to welcome guests, and one was even used as a fabulous reminder to the Groom: the little guy in the bottom left holds a sign that reads, “Daddy, Are You Ready? Here Comes Mommy!” It doesn’t get much sweeter than that!

Cake Toppers

These classic add-ons are another great way to bring a personal touch to your wedding day. Whether you’re having a cake cutting at your reception, or adding our “cake-package” option on the beach, a cake topper or personalized cake slicer is always welcome!

Favors

These guest-favorites aren’t always something you’ll need to think about because you may be escaping the wedding planning at home and eloping!! If you do have guests though, a Hawaiian themed favor is fun and special! You could also give a sweet gift to your life partner. Who says only the guests get to indulge in the offerings? Surprising your special someone with personalized letters or sweet mementos will add a touch of spontaneity to your Big Day.
