Overlooking Wailea, the grassy terrace set the stage for Ashley & Robert’s airy and elegant Gannon’s wedding on Maui. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony: overcast skies with soft, romantic lighting and a cool breeze that drifted up from the ocean.
Shades of purple were the colors of choice for this vibrant young couple. After visiting Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm, Ashley and Robert fell in love with the subtle hues and wanted to weave the soft color palette into their Special Day. And the result? Beauty for ages!
Robert looked on-point in a dusky lavender tie and a violet boutonniere.
And their adorable (and very good girl) Chloe joined the party while sporting an extra stylish purple hair ribbon. Which was just the cutest thing! Who’s a pretty girl?
Ashley is! We love this shot of pure joy on Robert’s face as he watches his bride walk down the aisle. Keep scrolling for all of the heartwarming moments!
After our beautiful couple said “I do,” we traveled down to the white sandy shore of Southside beach. These two newlyweds have a special connection to the Wailea cost… It was about a year and a half ago, on the shore of Po’olenalena, where Robert asked Ashley to be his wife.
And to make it something of a tradition, they hoped to visit as many Maui beaches as possible during their stay… in fact, Southside was the beach they’d planned on visiting next! It worked out perfectly… and speaking of perfection, we can’t get over how amazing these Maui couples portraits came out!
Mahalo nui loa, Ashley and Robert, for choosing us to plan your Gannon’s wedding on Maui. It was truly a beautiful occasion. We wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

This Hawaii venue wedding at Gannon’s in Wailea was a celebration to remember! No lad or las could have been happier than Donelle & Steven on this special day. Bright and vivid, the weather showcased the tropics at its finest, warmth punctuated by a sweet ocean breeze. And in addition to the tang of the sea, rolling through the air that morning was the melodic sound of the highlands… because no true Scottman’s wedding would be complete without the unmistakable legato of the bagpipes!
Our couple’s love story began in a modern way–over the internet! And now our Canadian bride and Scottish groom have brought along their closest family and traveled to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to say “I do” on one of the most beautiful islands in the world! Keep scrolling for all of the magic (and kilts)!
Decked out in black and his family’s blue and red tartan, Steven was the epitome of a groom in love. And it was hard to look away from Donnelle’s simple yet sophisticated style. Reminiscent of old Gaelic ballads, her style perfectly complemented their unique love story.
Following the ceremony, we stepped down to the shore of Southside Beach to capture some intimate moments between the couple…
And what happens when a kilt, a lovely couple, and a Maui seaside all walk into a photo… SPECTACULAR images are captured!
Mahalo nui loa, Donnelle & Steven, for trusting us with your unforgettable Hawaii venue wedding. We wish you an abundance of love and music in the years ahead…

We were swept away by the endlessly romantic Maui venue wedding of Jessica & Matthew. Gannon’s set the stage for this dreamy ceremony, just a stone’s throw away from the Emerald Golf Course in Wailea.
Humpback whales splashed in the shimmering ocean backdrop as the guests located their seats. And although the ceremony started out slightly overcast, when Jessica began her walk down the aisle, the clouds parted, allowing the sun to cascade down on her gentle smile. It was a suiting metaphor for the boundless love that radiates between these two.
Blooms of blush, tropical pinks and palms added a touch of whimsy to this impeccably polished ceremony. And speaking of whimsy, Kahu Richardo Hanako’o ordained the wedding ceremony, gracing the couple with his wise words and contagious laughter.
We loved how the garments of the bride’s squad perfectly married their unique styles with the overarching theme. Exquisitely matched in a single shade of subdued coral, each member showcased his or her own flair with bold straps and jacket choices.
Hailing from Arizona and together for over six years, the couple’s deep love is beautifully reflected here in Matthew’s tender expression.
To tie it all up, the day closed with a breathtaking sunset that was vividly mirrored in the gentle waves of White Rock beach. Piercing golden rays illuminated the couple’s silhouette and the melodic sounds of the ocean kept tempo with their warm embraces.
And yet … while the locale was stunning, it simply couldn’t compare to the beauty of this radiant couple. Mahalo, Jessica and Matthew for choosing us to capture your treasured Maui destination wedding …

The sun was shining, the sky was blue; it was the perfect day for a Hawaii Wedding. Our bride and groom were happy, relaxed and ready to say “I do” atop Gannon’s Grassy knoll.
Their Story
Emily and Daniel met in college where they were both studying Chemical Engineering. We knew they were smart for choosing a Maui wedding, but they are both also super-geniuses in their everyday life. Emily is a quality engineer for diagnostics consumable manufacturing, and Daniel is a post-doctorate fellow on batteries research. Wow!
They already had a family vacation to Maui scheduled and when they got engaged they decided to turn the vacation into a destination Hawaii wedding. Having both never been to Hawaii before, they wanted to show off the tropical beauty in their photos with lots of palm trees and ocean views.
After their ceremony, the couple captured photos with their guests then took advantage of the gorgeous surroundings at Gannon’s for couples portraits before heading to their intimate reception at the restaurant. What a lovely evening for a lovely couple. Thank you, Emily and Daniel, for trusting us to help plan your Maui wedding, we loved being a part of it!

We loved all the unique details that Jordan and Zack put into their wedding. All of our weddings start with a Maui Wedding Package and then it’s up to our couples to decide how much or little they want to customize them. Jordan and Zack booked our Gannon’s Maui Venue Wedding package and added many special touches that made their wedding day 100% them. One of the first things the guests saw as they arrived was a lei and a fan on their chair to start the festivities.
Choosing to say their vows privately to each other after their first look was another special touch. This intimate moment was so special to witness and we know they will remember it for the rest of their lives. It was also a good way to take some of the pressure off and calm their nerves for their venue wedding ceremony!
The couple also decided to bring their own officiant, who married Zack’s parents over 30 years ago! That is not only special but has to carry some good luck along with it!
After the ceremony, the couple had fun taking photos with their wedding party. They all looked so good and the bridesmaids dresses matched the bright tropical theme that carried into the reception which included custom signs and pineapple centerpieces.
Before Jordan and Zack joined their guests at the reception, they snuck away to get some intimate beach photos. The colors of the sunset were extraordinary that night due to a fire in a different part of the island. The smoke in the atmosphere made the sunset look so dreamy and beautiful.
When they returned for their reception they enjoyed first dances, cake cutting, and a dance party. What a perfect end to a perfect day! We feel so honored that Jordan and Zack trusted us to help them plan this very unique venue wedding in Maui and hope they live happily ever after and hear about how amazing their wedding day was from their guests for years to come!

After getting engaged at Keawakapu Beach this summer at sunset, Anna and Brandon were excited to come back for their Maui Venue Wedding! When planning their special day they said they wanted it to be “relaxed, Hawaiian, simple, girly and vibrant”. And we love how it all came together!
Wedding Decor
With little thoughtful touches, this Maui Venue Wedding was absolute perfection! We especially love that this couple included pineapples down the aisle for added decor. So cute and festive!
Plus with our “Just Maui’d” sign for wedding portraits, Anna and Brandon had every detail covered. Imagine how cute a photo like this would be for a wedding announcement! Especially since Maui is such a big part of this bride and groom’s love story 🙂 .
Thank you, Anna and Brandon, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan such a special occasion. We loved getting to know you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

This couple decided to have a Maui Venue Wedding because Chris’ little brother got married in Hawaii and our groom loved the idea! We have to agree, saying “I do” here in paradise is always a good idea 🙂 . And we are honored these two chose our team to help plan their destination wedding!
Fina & Chris’ Love Story
One of our favorite parts of getting to work with Fina and Chris was getting to hear their love story! They’ve been together for 5 years and got engaged after two. The proposal was on a cruise ship, at the jewelry shop where he bought the ring and popped the question right then and there! So sweet, simple, and romantic. We love it!
It’s easy to see that these two make each other incredibly happy. In fact, Chris’ sister even told us that she had never seen Chris so happy before meeting Fina! Which is exactly how it should be once you’ve met the love of your life. Thank you, Fina and Chris, for sharing your special day with Simple Maui Wedding! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Our bride knew she wanted to have her Maui Venue Wedding with us because she didn’t want to stress about planning everything! Also to make things even easier, Alli and Anthony were already going to honeymoon here in Hawaii. So they thought they might as well get married and have a honeymoon all in one trip!
And just as much as we loved being part of their special day, we love that these two were able to include loved ones in the ceremony. In fact, Alli’s two sisters were her bridesmaids and Anthony’s two brothers were his groomsmen! Plus the ring bearers were also their nephews. How cute is that?!
Celebrating in Aloha Style
One of our favorite parts of their Maui Venue Wedding was how they embraced the Hawaiian culture and made it part of the festivities. For starters, all of their wedding attire had tropical floral prints for an added touch of fun and class! And we especially love that they invited The Catered Coconut to add a refreshing touch of paradise at their Gannon’s wedding. There is no doubt that this is a day they will all remember for the rest of their lives!
Thank you so much, Alli and Anthony, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan such a special and memorable occasion! We had the best time celebrating with you and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Priscilla and Joshua were drawn to having a Maui Destination Wedding with us because our packages include photos and planning all in one! They were so happy they found us and so are we! This bride and groom initially wanted to elope, but with them both having large families, they knew it would make everyone happy to be included. And they were so glad they did!
Priscilla & Joshua’s Vows
These two seriously could not have been sweeter! When reciting their own vows, Priscilla volunteered to go first. After she went, Joshua was so nervous because he stepped out of his comfort zone and really expressed himself vocally, which is something he doesn’t do! He surprised everyone by announcing that he wrote a poem to read aloud throughout his vows. He titled the poem “On the Sea” and it talked about a time in his life where he was lost and had “given up” and so when Priscilla came into his life, he was alive again! It’s easy to see she has brought so much happiness to him, it was so cute and definitely a highlight of their Maui Destination Wedding.
Maui Wedding Attire
Besides being absolutely adorable together, this couple also looked incredible in their wedding attire! Our bride’s dress draped beautifully on the grassy lawn at Gannon’s and on the beach during wedding portraits. And our groom looked dashing in a full suit from Calvin Klein. Well done you two!
But that’s not all that caught our attention this evening. Maui wowed us with one of the most amazing sunsets we have ever seen! And we don’t say that lightly, just check out those bright colors! It’s like the heavens were sending all of their love down on our newlyweds. And one thing’s for sure, this is a day they (and we) won’t be forgetting anytime soon!
Thank you, Priscilla and Joshua, for sharing your magical day with Simple Maui Wedding. We had the absolute best time with you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Tears, smiles, and laughs! Joined by their closest family and friends Lilia and Pedro’s Maui Destination Wedding was unforgettable. It was especially touching to see how this bride and groom were able to include their loved ones in the ceremony.
Letting Tears Fall
The most memorable moment was when their son and older daughter were so overwhelmed with emotions after the ceremony they started crying. And we are so glad our sister company, Karma Hill Photography was ready to capture the sweetness on camera! It’s memories like these that pull at your heartstrings when you look back on your special day. So never be afraid to let some tears fall!
After celebrating and getting photos with their wedding guests, our newlyweds were ready to head down to the beach for wedding portraits. And we are obsessed with all of these romantic shots of the two of them together! I mean just look at them!
Thank you, Lilia and Pedro, for letting Simple Maui Wedding be part of your Maui Destination Wedding! We couldn’t be happier for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Kelsey & Wyatt chose to get married on Maui because it just seemed perfect – we completely agree with that! This really was a great Maui venue wedding with a perfect couple. The pastel tropical flowers complimented their loving spirits – and it all matched the pastel sunset that Karma Hill photography captured on the beach!
The best of both worlds
Maui venue weddings allowed Kelsey & Wyatt to have a ceremony on a grassy lawn – complete with seating for guests and an arch to marry under. Guests loved being able to walk right up to the restaurant at Gannon’s to enjoy some cocktails while the newlyweds drove down to the beach for some romantic pictures!
Beach pictures are a great way to capture the beauty of Hawaii, and Kelsey & Wyatt loved getting some alone time in the middle of a busy wedding day! They got beautiful sunset pictures right by the ocean before joining their family for dinner.
Wyatt will always remember their anniversary as trucker lingo 10-4. We’ll always remember how beautiful and sweet these two are! Thank you, Kelsey & Wyatt, for choosing us to coordinate your Maui venue wedding!

Growing up Rhea’s family came to Hawaii every year, and this couple chose to have a Venue Wedding in Maui because it is her favorite island! During the planning process, Rhea and Shane described their wedding as “simple, fun with good music, family and friends.” We love that they wanted to create an evening that would not only be beautiful but would also be enjoyable for them and their wedding guests. It was all about having a good time! And we’re confident this is an evening none of them will ever forget!
Our bride and groom met in middle school and were actually high school sweethearts! And our personal favorite part of the evening was getting to hear their vows. They both mentioned they’ve been through so much together throughout the years and they’ve always stood by each other’s side!
Wedding Vows
Shane went first to recite his vows and had several pages worth of vows written in a yellow-cover notebook. One thing he said that made everyone cry was, “Rhea, you don’t know this, but the day before I asked you out for the first time in middle school, I couldn’t sleep. I was so nervous because not only did I want you to be my girlfriend, but I knew in my heart that I already wanted to marry you.” Cue all the tears!
But don’t worry, there was lots of laughter too! In fact, after the ceremony, our newlyweds were ready to head to the beach for wedding portraits and our sister company told us they all couldn’t stop laughing! They even took boomerangs and slomo videos so they could have something to remember the night before getting their wedding photos. And here they are, and we are absolutely obsessed!
Thank you, Rhea and Shane, for letting us celebrate with you at your Maui Venue Wedding. We loved getting to know you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
