Better than a Courthouse – Tiffany & Danny’s Maui Elopement

We couldn’t have dreamed of a better morning for Tiffany & Danny’s Maui elopement. The ocean was clear and calm, and there was barely a cloud in the sky! Our favorite part was the bride & groom. They were so happy and in love – what a joyful Maui elopement!

Why Tiffany & Danny Decided on a Maui Elopement

Tiffany & Danny always knew they wanted to honeymoon in Maui. Their original plan was to have a courthouse wedding in San Fransisco followed by a lunch with family.

As they began to plan their honeymoon they came across Simple Maui Wedding and realized that they could have a Maui elopement for less than their courthouse wedding at home. We love to hear that we are a budget-friendly option for young couples ready to start their life together!

Tiffany & Danny are such a sweet couple with a bright future ahead of them! We send them lots of love as they return home to California (and their two cute dogs!). We hope you get to come to Maui again soon!!

Maui Vow Renewals

“You’ve Got A Friend in Me” ~ John & Michael’s Maui Vow Renewal

John and Michael were excited to celebrate 5 yrs of marriage with a Maui Vow Renewal! They even had their ceremony on their anniversary date. How special is that?! They’ve both been to Hawaii before and love Maui, so it was the perfect spot to celebrate this meaningful milestone.

A Musical Touch

Leading up to their Maui Vow Renewal they both expressed how excited they were for their musician. Kason was their ukulele player and they loved his voice! The last song he played was “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” They didn’t mention anything about the song earlier but were so touched because they played that song on their actual wedding date. Talk about amazing!

And these two really are the best of friends, they were so sweet together and knew just how to make each other laugh. Which truly made for a beautiful and unforgettable evening! After taking fun portraits with our sister company, this couple was ready to continue the celebration with a delicious dinner at Mama’s Fish House! Talk about the perfect ending to an already perfect day!

Thank you, John and Michael, for sharing this special occasion with Simple Maui Wedding. We had the best time getting to know you both and hope to see you back again in another 5 or 10 years 🙂 . Until then, Warm Aloha!

Second Wedding ~ Anita & Christian’s Maui Beach Elopement

After getting married in June at home in Austria, this couple was excited to experience a more intimate ceremony with a Maui Beach Elopement. While they loved celebrating with family and friends, they also wanted to celebrate their love with a relaxed, carefree and romantic evening in Hawaii. And we are so glad they did!

Ready for Adventure

Anita and Christian met 5 years ago and got engaged last year in Italy, making them more than ready for the adventures of marriage. And they sure do love an adventure! How could you not though when the Swiss Alps are practically in your backyard? They enjoy hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. But when they’re not enjoying their hometown, they love to travel and explore new places! So a Maui Beach Elopement was the perfect way to start them off on the journey of being husband and wife 🙂 .

And we are so glad we got to be part of their special evening. Thank you, Anita and Christian, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help make all of your elopement dreams a reality. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Forest Setting ~ Mariela & Jason’s Maui Destination Wedding

After meeting on Tinder and starting a family together, this couple was so excited for their Maui Destination Wedding! And they chose a beautiful location for it. Mariela and Jason decided to get married at Po’olenalena Beach because of the forest there. Which was not only amazing in real life but also looked incredible in their wedding photos!

Mariela and Jason’s Maui Destination Wedding took place the same day Hurricane Erick rained on Maui. So while it started out drizzling, it quickly turned into a beautifully soft-lit morning! One of our favorite parts of this wedding was how our bride and groom included their beautiful daughter in the festivities. She looked so cute being held by Mariela during the ceremony and even had a little flower crown to match her mama! How sweet is that?!

Being part of this special occasion was so much fun! And we couldn’t be happier for these newlyweds and their little family. Thank you so much, Mariela and Jason, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan a day every bit as special as your relationship. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

An Elopement Vibe ~ Jamie & Zachary’s Maui Beach Wedding

This couple wanted their Maui Beach Wedding to look and feel like an elopement. So an intimate ocean setting was perfect for their ceremony! And since Jamie and Zachary live near the coast in Washington, you know they have a love for water. They had both been to Maui before as kids and also came together 2 years ago, so it didn’t take long for them to decide they wanted to get married here!

From the moment Jamie made her entrance with her and Zachary’s best friends, the excitement on her face said it all! This bride and groom could not have been more in love or ready to start the next chapter of their lives together. And we are so glad we could be part of their special day! After taking wedding portraits it was time to head to Nick’s Fishmarket for a celebratory dinner. Talk about a perfect ending to an already perfect day! Thank you, Jamie and Zachary, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan a day every bit as special as your relationship. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Island Hopping ~ Analie & Michael’s Maui Beach Wedding

Having hopped over from Lanai where they live, these two were so excited to celebrate with family at their Maui Beach Wedding. And we couldn’t have asked for a better day for it. Our groom is actually from Maui and has a huge family still living on island so having their wedding here was an easy decision!

Analie and Michael have been together 9 years and have two beautiful daughters, who they were able to include in the ceremony. Aren’t they darling?! We love the life they have built together and love the story of how they met. Analie had called the cops for a property damage complaint and Michale was the cop that came and they just hit it off! What an unexpected way to meet the love of your life, but it’s obvious these two are meant to be together and we are so glad we could be part of their Maui Beach Wedding. So thank you, Analie and Michael, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to help plan the ceremony of your dreams! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Southern Grooms ~ Ashton & Kent’s Maui Beach Elopement

We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect way to start our day than with a Maui Beach Elopement! And these grooms are couple goals for sure. Ashton and Kent are southern boys raised in rural North Carolina. They attended the same college but didn’t meet until Ashton moved to Kent’s home county to teach. Ashton teaches chorus and drama while Kent teaches english at the local high schools. They both love music, plays and drama and their English Bulldog, Shoal. And even though he couldn’t be at their ceremony in person our sister company photoshopped a photo of Shoal onto the beach as an added bonus! How cool is that?!

Whenever they go to weddings they judge the desserts so they had to have cake at their Maui Beach Elopement even though it was just the two of them! When we got to Po’olenalena Beach we thought it might rain but the sun quickly came out and we never saw even a drop of rain. Watching as they exchanged personal vows to each other was the sweetest thing! The love they share is truly inspiring. Thank you, Ashton and Kent, for sharing this special day with Simple Maui Wedding. We are so happy for you both and wish you all the best on the journey ahead. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

“I do” in Paradise ~ Andrea & Taylor’s Maui Beach Wedding

We could not have asked for a more magical evening for Andrea and Taylor’s Maui Beach Wedding. I mean just check out that gorgeous lighting! Especially as the sun was setting. Surrounded by loved ones at Po’olenalena Beach, our bride and groom were more than ready to say, “I do” in paradise!

One thing’s for sure, this was definitely a Maui Beach Wedding to remember. We’re confident this couple and their wedding guests will never forget, we know we sure won’t! After taking sunset wedding portraits with our sister company, our newlyweds headed to Tommy Bahama for a special celebratory dinner. The perfect ending to an already perfect day! Thank you, Andrea and Taylor, for letting Simple Maui Wedding participate in such a special occasion. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Ocean Theme ~ Bria & Michael’s Maui Destination Wedding

We were thrilled when Bria and Michael’s Maui Destination Wedding day finally arrived! Not only was it a beautiful day, but it was also full of excitement. This bride knew she wanted to get married at Poolenalena Beach for two years! So you can imagine how happy she was to finally say, “I do ” on this sandy shore.

And this location definitely didn’t disappoint! I mean just look at it! There was an extra high tide during their ceremony and just before they exchanged leis, a wave surged up almost wetting Bria’s dress. So we quickly moved the ceremony near a tree further inshore. With loved ones, including Bria’s daughter Kaylee standing nearby, this bride and groom were more than ready to get married!

After their first kiss, Bria’s sister played “Under the Sea” from the Little Mermaid. And then it was time for wedding portraits prior to a celebratory dinner at Nick’s Fishmarket. Where Bria had her first Goldfish cracker snacks after a year and a half of being on a paleo diet! We loved watching her celebrate in this simple yet enjoyable way 🙂 . The festive ocean theme of this Maui Destination Wedding made for a very memorable evening for all. Thank you, Bria and Michael, for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to help make this day everything you dreamed of and more! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Sentimental Location ~ Melissa & Jordan’s Maui Beach Wedding

Melissa and Jordan’s Maui Beach Wedding was extra special because of the sentimental meaning of the location they chose for their ceremony. Our bride’s father’s ashes were spread on this beach after he passed away 2 years ago. So we love that they were able to honor him by getting married here! They even brought in a musician from Oahu to play special songs, particularly “In this Life” in memory of Melissa’s father.

Coming from the Bay Area our bride and groom have been to Maui lots of times. In fact it’s their favorite island, just another reason why a Maui Beach Wedding was the perfect choice for this couple! And we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening for their wedding. I mean just check out that sunset! Thank you, Melissa and Jordan, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding to help plan such a special occasion. We loved being part of your wedding day and wish you both all the best on the journey ahead! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

A Love Worth Celebrating ~ Brittany & Chace’s Maui Beach Wedding

Surrounded by friends from high school and college, Brittany and Chace were more than ready to get married at this Maui Beach Wedding! This entire crew was so much fun from the moment they arrived at the beach to the very last minutes after the sun had set! You could tell they were all so excited to celebrate Brittany and Chace’s love for each other. And it’s definitely a love worth celebrating!

Brittany and Chace met a few years ago, and we are so glad they did 🙂 . His roommate and her roommate brought the two together, but that’s not all, these roommates ended up getting married themselves! So of course, they wouldn’t miss coming to this Maui Beach Wedding to watch as our bride and groom said, “I do”. We are confident this is a day none of them will ever forget and are so glad we could be part of it! Thank you, Brittany and Chace, for inviting Simple Maui Wedding to participate in this very special day. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!
