If you could sum up Adellena and Josh’s Maui venue wedding in three words, they’d be: relaxed, joyful, unforgettable. Their wedding at Merriman’s was the perfect blend of love, laughter, and the easy, playful vibe they wanted for their newly blended family.

Adellena, a Nurse Anesthesiologist, and Josh, a consultant for Accenture, met on a dating app almost three years ago. Since then, they’ve built a life filled with golf outings, ski trips, wine tastings, and plenty of time with their kids—Nixon (11), Natalie (14), and Caroline (11). For them, travel is a love language, good food is a necessity, and family is everything.

Josh proposed during a snowy walk on a frozen lake in Breckenridge. This adventure was equal parts romantic and slightly risky (frozen lakes aren’t exactly in the proposal handbook, but hey, it worked)! So without further delay, keep reading to see their big day unfold!

Coming Together

Their Maui venue wedding at Merriman’s was all about keeping things simple and meaningful. By the water, with waves providing the soundtrack and the horizon stretching endlessly behind them, they exchanged vows that were as much about their kids as they were about each other. It wasn’t just two people getting married; it was a family coming together.

After the ceremony, the light turned golden, and the newlyweds were joined with their family and friends, soaking in every moment. The kids joined in for photos that were full of personality, hugs, grins, and those little candid moments that show how much love lives here.

After their intimate ceremony, they wandered down to the beach for golden-hour newlywed portraits. The light was pure magic, soft, warm, and glowing, wrapping around them as they laughed, embraced, and soaked in their first moments as husband and wife. Those portraits were everything they wanted their wedding to be: playful, beautiful, and completely real.

Adellena and Josh wanted something fun, easy, and full of heart. That’s exactly what Maui gave them: the ocean breeze, the glow of the setting sun, and a celebration that felt entirely like them!

Congratulations, you two. May this be the start of countless more adventures, together, as one happy, blended family! We wish you nothing but the best in the decades ahead! Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding for your special day!

Barefoot Beginnings – Lauren & Josef’s Maui Beach Wedding

There’s something deeply poetic about meeting someone in the middle of your story. Josef had already zigzagged across the country, from sunny Orlando to the mountains of Asheville, from Texas heat to Minnesota chill, before he met Lauren. And Lauren, born and raised in a quiet southern Minnesota town, had already braved the front lines

Let’s start with the obvious: Leila and Asa are ridiculously in love. Like, heart-eyes-across-the-room, finishing-each-other’s-sentences, “we do devotionals together and also crush Netflix” in love. And when a love like that lands on the golden shores of Hawaii? Well, an enchanting Maui beach wedding happens.

Leila is a pro nail tech with eight years of experience and the kind of boss energy that opens up her own business. Asa, a personal trainer with a big heart had been secretly smitten too when she sent him a note at the gym to text her. And his reaction to that note? One word: “ABSOLUTELY.” Yes, in all caps. The rest is history!

Fast-forward past the gym glances and the on-call shifts and we land here: on Polo Beach, in Maui, surrounded by a close-knit group of loved ones, with the most romantic circle of seaside baubles arranged perfectly in the sand. The sun? Shining. The water? Sparkling. The vibe? Dreamy and intimate and filled with love. Exactly what Leila and Asa had envisioned. Keep reading to see more of these two lovebird’s incredible day!

They said “I do” with the ocean behind them, the waves cheering them on, and their closest friends and family holding space for all the love that’s brought them here and the life they’re building next. It was sweet. Sacred. So them.

Let’s talk fashion: Asa looked seriously sharp in a light blue suit, giving tropical prince energy. Leila? Absolutely stunning. Like, stop-everything, heart-flip gorgeous. Her dress flowed in the breeze like it was part of the ocean itself, and the look in Asa’s eyes when he saw her? Let’s just say, no amount of gym training could’ve prepared him for that kind of emotional lift.

Moments Like This

Afterward, we stole them away for sunset portraits that had everything: golden light, crashing waves, silhouettes that belong on the cover of a romance novel. And through it all, Leila and Asa couldn’t stop smiling at each other, whispering little things, hands always reaching for the other. Like they were the only two people on the beach and in some ways, they were. Aren’t they such a gorgeous couple?

Their love is playful and deep, grounded in faith and fierce loyalty. They’re homebodies, sure. But their kind of love? It deserves beaches, sunsets, and moments like this. Their love story makes us believe in true love and fate encounters…

Here’s the thing about love stories: sometimes they start with a grand, cinematic moment—a whirlwind, a lightning strike, a meet-cute involving spilled coffee and a lot of blushing. And sometimes? Sometimes they unfold quietly, steadily, like a tide rolling in, until one day, you look up and realize your person has been beside you all

Have you ever wondered how love has the incredible power to heal and bring people together? Well, let us tell you the heartwarming story of Dan and Chris, whose journey from loss to love culminated in a breathtaking Maui venue wedding, as you’ll see below!

It all started online, when fate intervened. After Dan’s former partner passed away, Chris reached out to offer his condolences and support. Little did they know that this compassionate gesture would blossom into something truly extraordinary. They started dating in January 2020, and their love grew stronger with each passing day. Their bond was undeniable, and they decided to take the leap and got engaged in November 2021. And guess where the magical proposal took place? In their very own treehouse, tucked away in the back of their house, which holds a special place in their hearts. So we are beyond excited to share their special sunkissed day with you!

Tropical Blessings

Their Maui venue wedding was an elegant and enchanting affair, filled with Jewish traditions and adorned with a stunning chuppah. As Dan’s children stood by their side, the atmosphere was filled with love and joy. In addition, the simple blessings from the little ones added an extra layer of sweetness to the celebration. Everyone present was overjoyed to share in the happiness of this beautiful couple!

Dan and Chris originally booked their Maui venue wedding at Olowalu Plantation, but due to the recent wildfires on the island, our nimble wedding coordinators were able to seamlessly transition their celebration to Hotel Wailea on the South Side. And as you can see, it was just as dreamy as they could have ever hoped for!

It was a moment where time stood still, and their hearts were filled with gratitude and joy!

Lastly, the way Dan and Chris look at each other speaks volumes. Their love is tangible, infectious, and truly magical. Their love story is a testament to the incredible power of love and the beautiful ways in which the universe conspires to bring two souls together…

Everything is better at the beach, including weddings! Anton & Daria had a simple, stylish, and fun wedding in Maui, and we’re so glad we got to be a part of it.

If you love whimsical style, stunning photography, and amazing scenery, you will love these images from Anton & Daria’s big day. We met this gorgeous pair at Poolenalena Beach for an intimate, wow-worthy ceremony. Check out some of our favorite moments below!

All The Right Details

Anton & Daria found the perfect balance between simplicity and glamour for their wedding in Maui. Hoping to ease any last-minute jitters, they had a private first look before beginning their ceremony. We loved how that turned out! They were able to share a few moments of quiet time, and take in each other’s beauty before joining their guests at the beach.

Of course Karma Hill Photography was there to capture it all!

A dear friend walked Daria down the aisle to Anton, and then Kahu Sean led them through a heartfelt, Hawaiian-inspired ceremony.

After they had shared emotional vows and exchanged their rings and lei, they officially became husband and wife! The joy was palpable, and their guests were in great spirits as they celebrated with the newlyweds.

The fun was only just beginning, though! We helped create a mini reception on the beach as part of their wedding in Maui. Everyone enjoyed live ukulele and hula as Anton & Daria cut their wedding cake, all while being only steps away from the ocean.

Manutea Nui E provided incredible Hawaiian entertainment, and the musician played a song so that Anton & Daria could have their first dance on the beach. What a sweet memory! Keep scrolling to see how glowing and happy everyone was during each moment!

A Wedding in Maui, A Love for a Lifetime

Anton & Daria look amazing — that much is obvious. But they’re also kind and warm, passionate yet playful. Working with them was a joy, and their personalities brought so much life to their images.

Po‘olenalena Beach was the perfect setting for their ethereal wedding in Maui, and their portraits are dreamy and romantic. The setting sun painted the sky with soft pastels, and the gentle ocean brought a calming presence.

We love how Anton & Daria brought both softness and vibrancy to their Maui wedding day — something that they’ll also bring into their marriage. Sure, things won’t always be pastel skies and endless blue ocean, but with a love like theirs, they can weather any kind of day.

We’re so excited to share these beautiful photos with them, and we treasure each memory from their wedding in Maui!

We’ve been so excited to share Nami & Gustavo’s Four Seasons Maui Wedding since the moment it started! This stylish couple traveled from Japan to marry at this luxe Wailea property, and it was a wow-worthy event.

In fact, when Nami arrived at the chic lobby of the hotel, our photographer and onsite coordinator both said wow in perfect unison. Her bridal style was show-stopping — you can tell Nami is a trendsetter with an eye for romance. But she was totally down-to-earth as well, the kind of bride we love working with.

And Gus looked quite suave himself. He was in great spirits as he nervously awaited for Nami’s arrival, and when he first laid eyes on her, one of his many excited thoughts was wow.

There is so much to love about this Four Seasons Maui Wedding, and we’re going to share a lot about it below. So settle in for an evening of romance and beauty, and check out this sneak peak of Nami & Gus’s Hawaii wedding!

Four Seasons Maui Wedding
Wedding at the Four Seasons Maui

Tranquil, Romantic, and Timeless

Reverend Joe officiated Nami & Gus’s Maui Four Seasons wedding. He brought humor and heart, along with a few Hawaiian traditions. Nami and Gus presented lei to each other and to all their guests, inviting their small group to become one with the ceremony and their surroundings.

Plumeria Point at the Four Seasons Resort is one of the prettiest wedding venues on the entire island. Two Plumeria Trees frame the altar while palms sway in the distance. It’s a small space, perfect for elopements or micro weddings.

Nami & Gus had a perfect balance of elegance and fun. They included chic styling along with kawaii (cute) details. They’re a cute couple, so it came easy to them — they were full of laughter and passion as they became husband & wife in this beautiful setting.

We are so happy we got to be a part of this memory, and we’re also glad that Karma Hill Photography captured some IG-ready images for the photogenic pair!

From Japan to Hawaii – A Four Seasons Maui Wedding

Nami & Gustavo had the greatest guests. The warm, jovial group came from all across the globe, meeting here in Maui to celebrate a love story that seems better than a dream.

Gus had recently moved from the US to Japan when he met Nami. He was a photographer with a techy side and a love of travel. She was an adventurous spirit who loved anything cute, fashionable, and/or fun, especially dogs!

They hit it off right away. Months turned to years, and they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

And that’s how they ended up in Wailea, Maui. With travel so complicated and each with family far & wide, it made sense to meet up in a place where they could all gather. And what better place to gather than Maui?

We of course got all kinds of group photos with their supportive guests, and then it was time to capture some newlywed portraits. We headed over to Wailea Beach with Nami & Gus while the guests started cocktails and appetizers at the Four Seasons.

Going to the beach gave us a front-row seat to a stunning sunset. And it gave Nami & Gus a chance to unwind and show off their fun, lively personalities.

We absolutely adored working with these two and being a part of their Four Seasons Maui Wedding! Keep scrolling to see how the sunset added extra style and color to their already gorgeous personalities.

We are so lucky that Anna & Julian chose us to be their Maui Wedding Coordinator. They were a joy to work with, and their elegant ceremony was a dream.

Sea of Love

Anna and Julian chose not to see each other before the ceremony. This added a few more nerves but a lot of excitement to the day. Julian was so sweet as he waited for his bride on the beach, and Anna was so excited to walk to her handsome groom.

Their live Hawaii wedding musician played “Sea of Love” as Anna walked up to the altar. Then Reverend Kuya opened the ceremony by blowing the Pu, or conch shell.

Dellables created a flower semicircle on the beach for the couple to stand in. It was the perfect accent to the beach setting, and it matched Anna’s bouquet perfectly.

And then it was time for the big moment when Anna & Julian said “I Do.” They sealed their vows with a kiss, then basked in their newlywed glow. We loved it all from start to finish, and we’re so grateful we got to be their Maui Wedding Coordinator!

About This Couple

This Seattle couple met at the University of Washington. They love swimming, bowling, hiking, and video games. Swimming is such a big part of Anna’s life that Julian proposed at their local swim club — it was all part of a romantic and elaborate scavenger hunt he planned for her.

Maui is also a big part of this couple’s life. Anna grew up visiting the island regularly, and eventually Julian joined them on their family vacations. So it was only appropriate that they wed in this magical too. Once they had their Maui Wedding Coordinator booked, they were ready to pack their bags and begin their romantic getaway!

Their wedding had an especially beautiful sunset. So after they got some fun family photos taken, they were ready for some alone time on the beach with their photographer. Keep scrolling to see some of their beautiful Maui wedding photography!

Madison and Austin’s story began when they met online while living in a small college town. At the time, Austin was attending Graduate school, and Madison worked at a local nursing home. When they met in person, they knew they’d found the one! They quickly moved in together and became inseparable.

Our charming couple originally planned to visit Maui in July 2020. However, COVID made them cancel those plans. Instead, Austin’s family decided they should take a group trip to the Oregon Coast. Unknown to Madison, Austin coordinated to have her loved ones join them at this destination. Then, Austin surprised Madison with the beach proposal of her dreams! After getting engaged in such a magical manner — a Hawaii venue wedding is an exquisite way to get married!

Currently, Madison is a nursing home director, while Austin is a school psychologist. Although they don’t have kids, they have a beloved Boston Terrier named Gracie. In their free time, you can find them enjoying tennis or golf, watching football, or exploring the Pacific Northwest!

Our Couple’s Story

Our charming couple’s story began when they met five years ago on Bumble. Hayley and Andrew found the perfect match in one another! Then when the time was right, Andrew planned an exciting proposal. He took Hayley on a scavenger hunt through Denver; she ended up in Boulder on the Colorado University Campus. Then, Andrew popped the question in front of a beautiful stone bridge! The scene was gorgeous; snow covered the trees as everything reflected into the pond.

Why We Love Their Maui Destination Wedding

The color scheme for this event paired beautifully with Gannon’s and the island’s natural beauty! You can see how exquisitely the soft pinks in the arch flowers pair with the fairytale-like greenery of the venue. Then Kahu Ricardo Hanako’o delivered a meaningful sermon! Lastly, enhancing the dreamy ambiance were soothing melodies played by Shem from Manutea Nui E. Andrew and Hayley chose a list of songs they loved and knew their guests would enjoy!
