Have you ever wondered how childhood friendships can transform into lifelong love stories? Well, for Sam and Josh, their journey from kindergarten pals to soulmates is nothing short of magical. We are so excited to share the enchanting story of their Maui venue wedding, celebrating their love and the beginning of their forever together! These two were just the sweetest!
Sam and Josh’s love story traces back to their small hometown in Northern California, where they met as kindergarteners. From that moment on, their bond grew stronger with each passing year and life’s trials. Josh, a wonderful friend, captured Sam’s heart, and after 11 years together, they couldn’t wait to tie the knot, as you’ll see below finally!





But first, we have to share how Josh proposed! His proposal to Sam was nothing short of perfect. It took place during a sunset stargazing tour on Haleakalā in 2019. With the twinkling Hawaiian sky as their backdrop, Josh seized the opportunity to pop the question. Needless to say, this gave them the idea to have a Maui venue wedding!
Sam and Josh felt incredibly fortunate to plan their dream destination wedding in Hawaii. Returning to Maui seemed like the perfect choice, surrounded by their close friends and family. As nature enthusiasts, they had always envisioned a nature-based wedding, and the tropical paradise of Maui provided the ideal backdrop.
Their wedding venue, Gather, embraces the natural beauty of Maui. The driftwood arch by our talented floral partner Dellables and breathtaking views created an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Surrounded by lush greenery and the love of their family and friends, Sam and Josh exchanged their vows, radiating happiness and love. It was a truly magical setting for their celebration!




















How adorable are these two?! You can feel the overwhelming sense of love and joy in these portraits. As Josh noted before their Maui venue wedding, he hoped it would feel “joyous and relaxed…” These two are the picture-perfect examples of it! From childhood friends to husband and wife, these love birds have been forever connected and meant to be from the start. They both look lovely – Sam’s lace gown, paired with her tropical blooms with a magenta bow accent, was just perfect. And Josh opted for a classic and effortless navy suit! They make a stylish pair, don’t they?






As Sam and Josh celebrated their union on the nearby enchanting Southside Beach, they stole a moment alone as newlyweds. In that quiet embrace, they embraced the joy and excitement of their future together…Maui will always hold a special place in their hearts!





Congratulations, Sam and Josh! May your love continue to flourish as you venture to the Pacific Northwest and create a lifetime of beautiful memories together. Your love story is inspiring! Cheers to your happily ever after!

True love will always bring two people back together, even after years of separation. For José and Guadalupe, their journey from childhood friends to reunited soulmates is nothing short of a heartwarming love story. We are so excited to share this sweet couple’s Maui venue wedding! From their shared childhood memories to their adventurous spirits, every moment of their special day was filled with love and laughter!
José and Guadalupe’s love story had its roots in their elementary school days. At the tender age of 10, José mustered up the courage to confess his feelings for Guadalupe. However, fate took an unexpected turn when Guadalupe, unsure of how to react, ended up telling their teacher about it. Despite the initial hiccup, their connection remained strong as they navigated through middle school, only to drift apart in their teenage years. Little did they know that destiny had something extraordinary planned for them in the future…
Fast forward 20 years later, José and Guadalupe found each other again on social media. The spark that ignited in their childhood days was reignited, and they began their journey as a couple. Eleven years into their relationship, they decided to tie the knot on José’s birthday—a clever move to ensure he never forgets their anniversary! Their love, which had always been present since their younger years, was finally sealed in a beautiful ceremony at Gather…













José and Guadalupe’s wedding day was not just a celebration of their love but also a celebration of family. With children from their previous relationships, their union created a beautiful blend of love and togetherness. The day was filled with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and moments of pure joy as their loved ones surrounded them, witnessing the rekindling of a childhood romance.





José and Guadalupe’s wedding day was not just a celebration of their love but a testament to the power of fate and destiny. They had never been to Maui before, so the moment they stepped out onto Southside Beach for their newlywed portraits, they were in awe of the beauty and joy of the moment! They both look wonderful, Guadalupe in her flowy gown with colorful blooms and José in a classic navy suit.
Their infectious laughter and radiant smiles spoke volumes about their genuine happiness and the incredible journey they had embarked upon. As they embark on this new chapter together, we wish them a lifetime of love, adventure, and joy from finding true happiness in one another!











From childhood friendship to reconnection as adults, their journey has been filled with laughter and adventure. It was a delight to work with them – they simply are the sweetest!
As they take on the world together, they serve as a reminder that love has the power to bring us back to where we belong. Congratulations, José and Guadalupe! May their love continue to blossom and shine for many years to come!

Let’s celebrate the love and joy of Breanna and William as they tied the knot in a lighthearted Maui venue wedding! These two lovebirds couldn’t be happier to exchange their vows in the paradise they both dreamed of. Their journey to this special day was filled with love, surprises, and a touch of adventure.
Breanna and William’s connection started on Eharmony, and from their very first date, they knew they were meant to be together. Their love blossomed, and they decided to take a quick vacation to Maui without their kids. Little did Breanna know that William had a surprise up his sleeve…
While on a sunset dinner cruise, overlooking the picturesque ocean, William got down on one knee and proposed. It was a moment of complete surprise and pure happiness. Their dream of getting married in Maui was sealed, and they couldn’t wait to embark on this new chapter together!


With four children between them, Breanna and William’s love extended to their family. Including their kids in the ceremony made their celebration even more special. The joy on everyone’s faces was contagious as they witnessed this beautiful union.
Their wedding took place at Gather in Kihei, on Maui’s breathtaking South Shore. The venue provided the perfect setting for their glorious day, unaffected by fires. Surrounded by friends and family, Breanna and William looked radiant and overflowing with happiness!













Breanna was a vision of beauty in her lace gown, complemented by a tropical pastel bouquet with her handsome new husband, William, by her side. The newlyweds took some time to capture romantic portraits on Southside Beach, as the sun began to set. It was a moment of pure bliss and a chance for these busy parents to have a precious moment to themselves!


















Their Maui venue wedding concluded with a funfilled reception, full of love and dancing, of course! Congratulations, you two! May you have many more wonderful years ahead! We hope you come back to visit again soon!

We are excited to share beautiful moments from Elizabeth and Juan’s big day! It was an elegant and dreamy affair with friends and family gathered to celebrate their nuptials. Liz’s father always dreamt of walking his daughter down Hawaii’s beaches one day…and our wedding coordinators made that come true! (A grassy aisle in Hawaii is close enough!) Our happy pair met online and took their first trip as a couple together to Maui. “And it’s only gotten better since,” the happy pair exclaimed before their Maui venue wedding! Re-live their beautiful day with us through these photographs below….



Liz made a stunning entrance in her untraditional yet traditional white A-line gown at Gather in Kihei. Her father proudly walked her down the grassy aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband, waiting for her at the blooming floral bamboo arch. Both look exceptional, standing next to each other in their creamy attire! It was simple, sweet, elegant, and oh-so-romantic! Juan is from Peru, and while they hoped to have some celebrations there, they opted for both a Maui venue wedding and reception for all to attend. It turned out to be a glorious day!

















With their hearts bursting with love and joy, our newlyweds made their way down to Southside Beach for a few moments alone to soak in the sunshine and bask in the moment. Liz changed from her heels and opted for a fun, flirty ankle wrap! So fun! The sunset casts a magical glow over the happy pair in these oceanside portraits that truly transports you to another time and place! They look so relaxed and carefree in these newlywed portraits…as if the rest of the world melted away and the only thing that matters was the moment…
Liz is originally from Wisconsin and works as a physical therapist. Similarly, after finishing medical school in Peru, Juan came to the US to continue his training and works as a pulmonary/critical care specialist. And fate had a hand in their meeting when he moved to Wisconsin to finish his training!











Congratulations to you both! You are a beautiful couple inside and out! We hope you had a fantastic time with your families and friends! Maui sends you many blessings as you continue to build your lives together! Aloha!

We were delighted to coordinate Sara and Kenny’s Maui venue wedding under the sunshine and palm trees. It wasn’t just an ordinary celebration but full of love, cultural significance, and meaning. Our sweet couple, who are both busy lawyers in Los Angeles, still make the time to cherish each other and have fun! So when they recently vacationed in Maui, they knew this would be the PERFECT place to tie the knot! They fell in love with the island’s relaxed and tropical vibe and were so excited to share it with their friends and family on their special day…




Sara made a beautiful entrance to her Maui venue wedding ceremony, where her soon-to-be husband Kenny waited at their stunning altar! Our lovely pair went for a traditional but nontraditional feel of a Persian wedding with the sofreh aghd on the grassy lawn at Gather. It was wonderful to see how they incorporated cultural elements and touches of tropical beauty into the golden circle arch and pineapples along the aisle. All these little details make their celebration feel that much more personal…















These two look head over heels in love! All the bounty and blessings of their sofreh aghd made their Maui venue wedding feel even more special. It all felt like a dream…They couldn’t stop gushing over each other! Their chemistry was palpable in every look and glance. With many kisses and hugs from their family, our newlyweds made their way down to Southside Beach to capture some romantic portraits by the waves….











These beach portraits are everything! Sara looks impeccable with her frothy off-the-shoulder gown…a true goddess! Kenny opted for a smart classic navy suit reflecting deep ocean blue. They were so at ease in each other’s embrace, laughing and giggling only as newlyweds can! They were beaming ear to ear as the sun slowly lowered below the horizon. These photographs will forever freeze this moment for our happy new Mr. & Mrs. to look fondly back on!









Congratulations, Sara and Kenny! We are honored to bring your dream wedding to life! We wish you a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness! Enjoy your honeymoon!

Can you imagine meeting the love of your life in middle school? Well our sweet couple Carly and Jordan can! They met back in middle school, and Carly actually asked him out, and he said no! But seven years later, he remembered Carly and messaged her on social media; the rest is history! So when it came to planning their special day, they knew they wanted to honeymoon in Hawaii too, so it felt so simple to have a Maui destination wedding too. It also turned out to be a vacation for their friends and family! Curious to see how these two tied the knot? Keep reading to see more wonderful moments from their big day….




Their inimate celebration was held at Gather, one of our favorite venues for a Maui wedding. The view, the privacy, and the grassy lawn make it such a beautiful location to tie the knot! And as you can see, Carly and Jordan opted for a stunning driftwood arch with tropical florals to serve as the altar under the swaying palm trees. Their Maui destination wedding had all the elements they were looking for – simplicity, elegance, rustic, with unique details.
Their intimate ceremony was full of emotion as they said their vows in front of those who mattered most to them. The way they look at each other says it all!














Carly was a vision in a frothy gown! The combination of pink and green flowers is so fresh! They both look so happy in these newlywed portraits! Jordan was smiling ear to ear and opted for a sharp beige three-piece suit. Both are still in college and have spent half of their relationship in the pandemic, so this marks a new chapter of their romance and the beginning of many new adventures together!
After soaking up the dreamy moment, they were ready to dance the night away with their friends and family! It was a truly magical evening they will never forget!









We wish Carly and Jordan a lifetime of happiness, peace, and love! We hope you had the best time celebrating with your friends and family in paradise. Congratulations from all of us at Simple Maui Wedding! Enjoy your honeymoon…

It was another gorgeous day for our happy couple, Melissa and John’s Maui venue wedding! These two were drawn to the natural splendor and magic of the island…the fragrant flowers, the turquoise waters, the sunshine… what’s not to love? They thought it would be a wonderful vacation for their friends and family too…
Melissa, a Real Estate Lawyer, and John, an electrician, may come from different professional backgrounds, but one thing they definitely have in common is their love for adventure and friendly competition. With a shared passion for kickboxing, scuba diving (John’s thing), hiking, playing cards, fishing, and even running errands (yes, you read that right!), this dynamic duo knows how to make every moment count.
On their special day in Maui, surrounded by their nearest and dearest, Melissa and John chose Gather – a stunning venue overlooking the picturesque South Shores. The anticipation was palpable as John awaited Melissa’s entrance. And when he finally turned around, his reaction was nothing short of priceless! Love filled the air as these two souls reaffirmed their commitment to each other…










Gather in Kihei provided the perfect backdrop for their celebration, with swaying palm trees, privacy, warm sunshine, and a relaxed vibe that instantly put everyone at ease. Melissa looked absolutely radiant in her exquisite lace gown, capturing everyone’s attention as she walked down the aisle. The knowing looks of love and devotion they shared say it all! And just like that, they are husband and wife!



















After their relaxed Maui venue wedding ceremony, the newlyweds and our photographer ventured down to the enchanting Southside Beach. And what a sunset it turned out to be for our happy pair! With the tropical waters glistening in the background, they captured the first moments of their married life together. The dreamy sunset portraits perfectly encapsulated the romance and love that filled the air, creating timeless memories they will cherish forever!
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the ocean, Melissa and John couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude. Our new Mr. & Mrs. savored the moment and each other. Melissa didn’t mind getting her gown a little wet for some photos, either! It added to the moment’s magic…a truly “Just Maui’d” experience!













Congratulations, Melissa and John! May your journey through life continue to be filled with laughter, love, and adventure! Sending you lots of aloha…

“It has been my dream to have a Hawaii wedding since I was little. After visiting Hawaii a few months back, I have never been more sure about the whole thing,” our lovely bride, Joy, told our wedding coordinators before their Maui venue wedding. Ryan, a certified flight instructor at a renowned aeronautical school, has an adventurous side too so he was totally on-board with the whole idea! 😉 It was an honor to bring their vision to life; we know how much this day meant to them. Re-live their amazing day with us through these highlights below! The mix of emotions from joy to excitement were palpable throughout their entire day….





Joy and Ryan opted for an inimate celebration at Gather, formly named Gannons, in Kihei. All their friends and family gathered in attendance to celebrate the happy pair. This gorgeous view on the grassy knoll was a picturesque backdrop for their sweet vow exchange. There were many laughs, tears, hugs, and kisses of, course, namely between the happy newlyweds, Joy and Ryan! We could feel the emotion and the tenderness these two shared the moment Ryan turned around to catch his first glimpse of Joy…














With many cheers and congratulations echoing for our happy pair, we went down to Southside Beach, for some newlywed portraits! These two are the best of friends…they actually met in high school when Joy was the lead role in a play and Ryan was a lead tech behind the scenes. Something clicked when they met and both felt drawn to learn more about each other…
Let’s just say these newlywed portraits from their Maui venue wedding is the start of their next chapter together as husband and wife, far beyond the theatre where they met all those years ago. And how happy do they look in these photographs!? Joy looks so radiant in her flowy, lace gown…and Ryan is very sharp and dapper in his linen suit! This sandy beige is a favorite color of ours for a beach wedding…










Congratulations, Joy and Ryan! May you continue to grow in love and have many more adventures in the decades ahead! All of us at Simple Maui Wedding send you many blessings!

We are absolutely thrilled to share the love story of Hannah and Kyle and their beautiful Maui venue wedding! Believe it or not, these two love birds have known each other since middle school and remained close friends until they started dating in undergrad! They got engaged in Kauai and come to Hawaii every year, but this is their first time in Maui. And to say it was a memorable first impression would be an understatement! Re-live their amazing day with us through these beautiful captures below…



Their special day took place on the stunning grass lawn at Gannon’s overlooking the ocean with a breathtaking flower semi-circle as the altar. Nothing says romance like gorgeous flowers! The sun was shining down, making for a bright and happy atmosphere. Hannah looked incredible in her off-the-shoulder gown paired with her custom-made bouquet, while Kyle looked dapper in his blue suit. Both look summery and fresh and, most importantly, so in love. All these years of knowing each other had finally come to this moment!
Everyone was so happy to celebrate these two; it was so thoughtful each guest had an orchid lei too! Truly a Hawaiian hospitable touch that extends a welcome with love!

















There were lots of hugs and kisses after their lovely ceremony to celebrate these two! Afterward, we whisked our newlyweds away and headed to Southside Beach to capture some romantic moments between the new Mr. & Mrs. Alegado! There is something so romantic about walking on the beach as a newly married couple. You can feel their joy and happiness in these moments! Hawaii will forever hold a special place in their hearts!














Congratulations, Hannah and Kyle! Your wedding day marks the beginning of a new, exciting chapter in your lives together. May you continue to grow in love, support, and understanding in the years ahead! Until we see you in Hawaii again!

Lisa and David’s Maui venue wedding was a stunning celebration of love that left us absolutely breathless! Surrounded by close friends and family, the love that filled the air was palpable. Everyone was so happy to be there to celebrate this amazing couple!
The romance was in the air from the start, and we could feel it with every click of our camera. The light was ethereal, making everything look like it was straight out of a fairytale. When Lisa and David exchanged their vows under that bloom-covered arch studded with pink blooms, we couldn’t help but feel like we were witness to something truly magical…





Lisa and David share a passion for the outdoors which has brought them closer together. They have spent countless hours exploring new trails, riding their dirtbikes through the mountains, and traveling to drag races around the country…you can tell they are the best of friends!
When it came time to choose a venue for their big day, they knew that they wanted something that reflected their love for nature and somewhere beautiful. Lisa’s father and grandmother are originally born and raised in Hawaii, so this felt incredibly special to the couple… Gannon’s provided the perfect combination of stunning views and an elegant atmosphere, and privacy, making it the ideal location for their Maui venue wedding!
















Before celebrating, we snuck down to Southside Beach to capture some of the most stunning images of their Maui venue wedding! We’ve seen a lot of bouquets in our days, but Lisa’s was exceptionally beautiful! It was so fresh and springy with the pink peonies. But not quite as gorgeous as how our lovely bride looks in her tulle gown…the soft light added to the romance of the moment too! This kind of light is perfect for portraits because it flatters everyone and adds a romantic, almost ethereal quality to their photos, don’t you think? The soft backlight at created a beautiful halo effect around them, making them look like they were glowing with happiness and love!












The happy newlyweds were completely lost in the moment, wrapped up in each other’s arms and enjoying the beautiful scenery around them. Everything else seemed to melt away…
Maui was showing off (again!) for our lovely pair! The soft backlight creates a warm and dreamy effect that adds to the romance of the photos. It makes everything look and feel more intimate and personal, like you’re peeking into a moment of pure love and joy between Lisa and David…







Congratulations again, Lisa and David! We absolutely loved working with you both and wish you a lifetime of love and happiness together!

We love a gorgeous Gannon’s Wedding! So when April & Connor reached out to book our Maui Wedding Venue package there, we were so excited!
These two know how to create a meaningful and joyful celebration. They brought along their immediate family, their all-star style, and their romantic energy. And it all came together in the most beautiful way!
Today we’re sharing some highlights from their Gannon’s Maui Wedding and talking all about this incredible couple! Keep scrolling to see the amazing wedding inspiration!






One of our favorite things about any Gannon’s Wedding is the stunning backdrop. You get the rich greens of the Wailea hillside and the glistening ocean in the distance. April & Connor decided to accent this natural beauty by adding a circle arch with lush tropical greenery. It created the perfect frame for their swift and heartfelt ceremony.
April also chose our Pastel Rustic Hawaiian bouquet. This one-of-a-kind creation features in-season florals that are grown here on Maui.
Then, as the sun began setting, it was like the sky drew colors straight from her bouquet. The horizon lit up with dreamy pastels straight out of a storybook. It was the perfect ending for a perfect wedding, though the newlyweds still had lots of celebrating to do!
After their Gannon’s Wedding ceremony and beach portraits, they met their family at the Grand Wailea for a delicious dinner. And then it was time to honeymoon! These two had such a fun vacation ahead of them!
Though we only spent a few hours with April & Connor, we felt honored to meet them. They’re an incredible couple who aim to share joy any chance they get. This radiated throughout their Maui Destination Wedding, and it shines in each of their photos.
















Gannon’s Restaurant is on a hillside that overlooks the ocean and Wailea shoreline. You could have a complete couple’s photoshoot on the grounds of the venue, since there are so many great backdrops to enjoy.
But if you have enough photo time booked, you can also visit the nearby beach for even more portraits. April & Connor were sure to plan on great beach portraits after their Gannon’s Wedding. This gives them a full photo gallery with a strong sense of place. You can really see that they’re on Maui.
From the hillside to the sea, these two made the most of their Maui wedding day, and we’re so glad we could be a part of it!


















Congratulations, April & Connor! Thank you for choosing us as your Maui wedding coordinator!!
