We could not get enough of the smiles and laughter during Shannon and Troy’s Maui Micro Wedding! Southside Beach set the stage, and Shannon and Troy brought the newlywed magic! With only four special guests looking on, this was the perfect wedding day for a small-town couple. 

The Maui Micro Wedding

Escorted by her father, Shannon made her debut on the Maui shore as Reverend Kuya blew the traditional Hawaiin conch shell. Troy’s first look was nothing but joy! Wearing a lace applique gown with endless drapery, Shannon is the incarnation of beauty. We love her bold skin art and elegant accessories. In fact, Shannon’s father designed and created her earrings and Troy’s wedding ring! What a beautiful way to create heirlooms that will be treasured for generations.

Our Couple’s Story

Shannon and Troy have known each other since the sixth grade, but it wasn’t until they were nineteen and working together when things took a romantic turn. After realizing they had plenty in common (including a mutual attraction!), Troy planned a romantic dinner for their first date. Six years and two wonderful boys later, and their Maui Micro Wedding became a reality! 

Hailing from a small town in Oregon (population 2,000), Shannon and Troy felt a small wedding in Maui was the perfect way to solidify their union. With limited stress and endless tropical bliss to indulge in, Shannon and Troy were enjoying their wedding plus vacation combo! Keep scrolling for more of this beautiful couple!  

Mahalo, Shannon and Troy, for allowing us to be a part of your Micro Wedding in Maui. We had a wonderful time getting to know you and wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Wendy and Tom’s Maui Beach Elopement was filled with sun, sun, and then sun! Ironwoods beach set the stage with dramatic rocky embankments and towering cliffs. Paired with the dreamy lighting and rustic beach setting, Wendy and Tom glowed with genuine love and sincerity. From deep gazes to bursts of laughter, there was no shortage of romance and joy on the shore during this Big Day! 

Our Couple’s Story

Wendy found Tom on Linkedin and noticed he was a trauma nurse, which she could relate to as a pediatric nurse practitioner. She did what any interested girl would have done, and looked him up on Instagram. A follow and message later, and the two were hitting it off like they’d known each other for years! But because they lived 3.5 hours apart, they got acquainted just over the phone. It wasn’t until Tom was packing his things for a 4-month travel assignment that Wendy finally drove down to meet him to wish him well. Pretty wise move because the rest of the story is right here on the blog! 

Maui Beach Elopement Location

Ironwoods Beach hugs the coast of Kapalua, a rustic jungle zone on the western side of the island. Featuring unusual rock formations and sheer cliff drops, Ironwoods is the perfect location for a Maui Beach Elopement that captures the wild side of Maui. 

What They Wore

Wendy wore a simple, strapless button-down with a shimmering fabric that flowed just the right amount in the winds of Ironwoods. She kept the accessories minimal with a pair of orchids to accent her beachy up-do. Tom sported black slacks with a battleship-gray vest and black and white contours to pull it all together. But the best part about their style? Those smiles! How sweet are these two?! Keep scrolling for all the magic from this Maui Beach Elopement!

Mahalo nui loa, Wendy and Tom, for choosing us to coordinate your Maui Beach Elopement. You were so much fun to work with, and we wish you all the smiles and laughter in the years ahead!

What do you get four years after Amber and Nolan walked into a bar? A gorgeous Micro Wedding in Hawaii! A glowing sunset, crashing waves, and a couple who positively glowed with love were the defining features of this beach wedding on Ironwoods. Amber and Nolan’s original wedding plan was to tie the knot in Vegas and honeymoon in the islands. But they soon realized they could get married AND honeymoon in Hawaii at the same time! We’re thrilled they decided to go with Plan B (Which everyone knows stands for “Plan Beach-wedding”)! 

The Micro Wedding in Hawaii Ceremony

Amber’s son walked her down the steps to the shore, where Nolan waited with the biggest, most genuine smile. Dressed in a goddess gown with lace and elegant draping, Amber was a radiant beach bride. We love how the wild orchid woven into her delicate flower crown adds a burst of blush and plum. Nolan wore a simple button-down with gray slacks and a blush-colored tie to match his bride’s florals. The soft hues looked dreamy against the white sand and turquoise ocean. 

Reverend Kuya opened the ceremony by blowing the conch shell, but a different special someone officiated the wedding. Tying Amber and Nolan together in holy matrimony was none other than Susan, the owner of the bar they met in! Talk about going above and beyond for your favorite patrons!

Following their beautiful Micro Wedding in Hawaii, Amber and Nolan took the walkway up to the cliffs of Ironwoods. Keep scrolling for all the soft and romantic couples portraits in Maui! 

Mahalo nui loa, Amber and Nolan, for trusting us to be your Maui Wedding Coordinators. You are a beautiful couple, and we wish you a long and prosperous life together!

Kylee and Jay originally had their Wedding in Maui scheduled for 2020, but because of COVID travel restrictions, they decided to postpone it to this year. Their new wedding date was flooded with sunlight and too many smiles to count! So we feel it’s safe to say that this wedding was worth the wait. 

The Wedding in Maui Ceremony

The grassy knoll at Gannon’s in Wailea set the stage, and the venue was flooded with warm Maui light. Kylee entered with her proud mother and stepfather at her side, and her very own grandmother conducted the ceremony. Kylee’s grandmother has officiated the majority of the family’s weddings and baptisms, and it was truly an honor to work with them to keep this special tradition alive. It was a touching moment when all five of Kylee and Jay’s children came forward during the ceremony. The bride’s eyes weren’t the only pair tearing up during this sweet wedding in Maui!

Following the ceremony and group shots of the happy family, we took the short trip down to White Rock beach for some Maui Wedding Photography against the sunset. Keep scrolling for gorgeous skies of pastel pink and more beautiful moments from Kylee and Jay’s special day!

Thank you, Kylee and Jay, for choosing us to help make your wedding dreams come true in Maui! We had a wonderful time getting to know you and your family. We wish you all the best in the years ahead!

With over a decade of love beneath their wings, Kelli & Jordan glided into a beautiful marriage with a simple and elegant Beach Wedding in Maui. Ironwoods Beach set the scene with rolling waves and rocky backdrops. The island sent her blessing with a steady breeze that caused all sorts of playful mischief and showcased the flow of Kelli’s lace gown (and Jordan’s maile lei!). It was a very special day filled with deep love and genuine friendship.

Beach Wedding in Maui Location

Ironwoods is one of the most rustic beach locations Maui has to offer. Situated on the western shore in Kapalua, it features white sands, deep blue oceans, and dramatic cliffsides. The sky was slightly overcast during Kelli and Jordan’s beach wedding in Maui, but the weather held out and added to the rustic tropical atmosphere. 

Our Couple’s Story

Kelli and Jordan met during their sophomore year in high school. Even though they attended different schools, they somehow managed to find each other. Love is crafty like that! Jordan knew a few of Kelli’s friends through baseball and they hit it off quickly over the phone.

Kelli was so charmed with him, that she asked Jordan to homecoming before they’d even met in person! When you know, ya know! And clearly, Kelli knew! These two will be celebrating eleven years together this October! You can’t miss the love, affection, and friendship beaming from these smiles!

Following the ceremony, Kelli and Jordan tossed petals into the ocean in honor and remembrance of Jordan’s late father. It was a beautiful moment.

How sweet are these two?! Kelli looks exquisite in a form-fitting lace gown from Lulu’s. Her flower crown and rustic Hawaiian bouquet fit perfectly on the wild shores of Ironwoods. Keep scrolling for all the wedding day sweetness!

Mahalo nui loa, Kelli and Jordan, for sharing your special day with us. We wish you all the happiness in the years ahead!

Sarah and Alisha’s Maui Wedding was kissed with the island sun and a cool, tropical breeze. Alisha is a beach lover at heart and always wanted to get married by the sea. So our couple figured, what better way to make that dream come true than in Hawaii! Gathered on the 5 Palms lawn, guests were treated to a panoramic view of the turquoise ocean and the endless Maui sky. The only thing better was the heartwarming scene of Sarah and Alisha tying their beautiful lives together by saying, “I do.”

Our Couples Story

Sarah and Alisha began their journey two years ago to the day. Not only does their wedding mark their own anniversary, but it also marks the 46th anniversary of Sarah’s parents. It’s a blessing and fortunate sign that Sarah and Alisha share their special date with a strong and affectionate couple. We’re certain that Sarah and Alisha’s marriage will be just as solid and loving. 

Interestingly enough, our couple also shares this date with National Margarita Day. Regardless of whether or not they got margaritas after the ceremony, they’re obviously punch-drunk in love! Plus it fit the theme–Because the ocean brought the salt and our couple brought the sweetness! Those adoring looks speak for themselves! Keep scrolling for more!

The Maui Wedding Venue

Sarah and Alisha chose the 5 Palms Oceanside Lawn as their Maui Wedding venue. This prime location has all the vivid views and breezes of a beach wedding with the flexibility of a venue. We love how the Elegant Simplicity Arch perfectly frames our loving couple.

Thank you, Sarah and Alisha, for choosing us to be your Maui Wedding coordinator! We wish you all the best in the years ahead!

Loving the simplicity of this Gay Maui wedding? Visit Krista & Ashlee’s same-sex celebration.

Milenne and Tom’s relationship started as a secret office romance and bloomed into a deep and genuine love story. Their Beach Wedding in Maui featured warm sunshine, happy smiles, and the gentle sounds of the churning ocean. Hailing from California, Milenne and Tom fell in love with Maui during their first visit several years back. The scenery, the sights and sounds, and above all, the Aloha spirit captivated their hearts. So when it came time to select a special spot to tie the knot, Milenne and Tom knew it had to be on the shores of Maui.

The Maui Beach Wedding Location

With dancing palms and a typically calm and vibrant ocean backdrop, Polo beach was the perfect stage for Milenne and Tom’s Big Day. Located in Wailea, this shoreline boasts powdery golden sand and a lava rock outcropping. The Maui sun did her thing, and our couple glowed against the tropical scenery. 

Our Couple’s Story

Tom is employed in the automotive sector and Milenne works in finance. They were both employees in the same office when they met, so their relationship had to be kept a secret. It started with casual glances and grew into long gazes. Eager to get to know her better, Tom began making intentional errors on invoices, knowing Milenne would come looking for him to correct the numbers. Luckily for him, he got the most important estimate right–Milenne was interested! 

After switching to new workplaces, they were able to take their relationship public–and to a variety of places to eat! Milenne and Tom cherish sharing meals together. They say, “We love to experience different cultures through our stomachs!” Whether it’s a home-cooked meal whipped up by Tom’s skilled hand, or a restaurant for foreign cuisine, Mileene and Tom are just excited to share the experience together.

How beautiful is this bride?! If we had to guess, the only things filling Milenne and Tom’s stomachs during their special day were butterflies! And maybe a little bit of cake.

Milenne and Tom are so clearly in love. It was a luminous day, only outshone by our gorgeous couple. Keep scrolling for more jaw-dropping photos of Milenne and Tom’s Beach Wedding in Maui!

Milenne and Tom, thank you for choosing us to be the planner for your Beach Wedding in Maui! It was a pleasure bringing your dream into reality. We wish you the fondest Aloha and plenty of laughter, great food, and adventures in the years ahead.

The Rustic Hawaiian Ruins at Trinity by the Sea were flooded with tropical blooms and island fruit for Myra and Adrien’s Hawaii Venue Wedding. The pops of color and luau-like atmosphere did not disappoint! Subtle overcast lighting and a refreshing breeze greeted the guests and our spectacular bride and groom. We are so blessed to work in the Hawaii wedding industry because we get to meet amazing couples from near and far–and in Myra and Adrien’s case, just around the mountain! 

The Hawaii Venue Wedding

The Rustic Hawaiian Ruins is one of our newest venue additions. Ancient coral bricks and authentic structural design bring the spirit of old Hawaii to life. With a rustic wooden cross towering in the backdrop and only the gentle sky above, this Maui wedding venue perfectly melds the traditional church setting with authentic Hawaii.

Myra and Adrien selected our Styled Rustic Hawaiian Set-Up– or, in other words, we decked out their Hawaii Venue Wedding with all the beauty of the tropics! Lush blooms and island fruit made gorgeous stand-ins for the traditional white-wedding decor.      

Our Couple’s Story

Both born and raised on Maui, Myra and Adrien fit perfectly together. And it doesn’t hurt that they also get fit together! These two love a good workout! Myra and Adrien met through mutual friends, and for their first date, they broke a sweat at the gym.

When Adrien felt the time was right, he arranged for a couple’s hike up the Wainee Ridge… but the workout wasn’t the only reason Adrien was sweating. Once they got to the top, he popped the big question! And clearly, from their sweet reactions during the I do’s, this couple is strong in so many ways.    

Following the ceremony, we gathered the whole crew for Hawaii wedding group portraits. And made sure to capture Adrien with the two loves of his life, his gorgeous wife and his precious daughter. Keep scrolling for more stunning photos of Myra and Adrien making the most of their Big Day!

Simply stunning.

Mahalo nui loa, Myra and Adrien for choosing us to plan your Maui Venue Wedding. It was truly a blessing to work with you. We wish you all the best in life (and workouts!) in the years ahead!

Rachel & Michael’s initial wedding plan didn’t include a Maui elopement. They originally planned to get married in their home state of Minnesota. With the pandemic all around them and many family members being too high-risk to attend a wedding they decided an elopement in Maui was sounding pretty amazing!! We couldn’t agree more. There will be many years to come where you can celebrate with friends and family but this day, was just for you two!!

How Did They Meet?

Rachel & Michael had an instant connection when they first met. Like so many other couples they met in the world of online dating. They shared many messages and talks on the phone and both knew that there was something there. Once they finally were able to meet in person they were never again apart!

They have enjoyed many firsts together like their first vacation, their first puppy, who is a Siberian Husky named Captain, their first (and hopefully only) pandemic! lol! These two have really created a special bond and it means the world to us that they continued their story on the beaches of Maui.

When Makayla and Kevin met at the flooring store they worked at, they would never guess they would build their own hardwood flooring business together as well as their family! This sweet couple has two adorable girls that loved seeing mom and dad all dressed up getting married. We loved being a part of their Maui venue wedding and were happy that we could create a romantic intimate day for them and their family.

Makayla and Kevin were planning on a big wedding back home in San Diego but obviously, that became impossible, so they re-focused and decided an intimate wedding in Maui would be a lovely way to get married and still make it special. We could not agree more, Maui is the perfect place to host a small wedding while creating beautiful memories.

Makayla wanted to do a first look with her dad before the ceremony. We just love this! Look at the expression on his face when he sees his little girl for the first time as a bride! He happiness and joy on his face is priceless.

Mahalo Makayla and Kevin for choosing us to be your Maui wedding planners, we loved being a part of your day!!

Katelyn & Lance were such a joy to work with! Their love began long after their first meeting but once they knew, they knew!! They work for the same large company and met a few years prior to them dating during a work event. They had no idea at the time that their paths would cross again at another work event and the stars would align, but they did! Today, they celebrate the love that grew with a Maui beach wedding!

Lance has 3 kids that unfortunately couldn’t make it to their Maui wedding due to Covid, but they are thrilled with their “bonus Mom” Katelyn! This sweet couple has a wonderful future ahead of them and we are just honored to be a part of their story!

Lance’s parents come to Maui for a few weeks out of every year and they were blessed to be able to join them for their ceremony. The couple brought their own family officiant and Lance’s dad also said a few words during their very personal ceremony.

Lance proposed to his beautiful bride at a beautiful indoor pool at a hotel in Virginia Beach. He talked with security who allowed him to wait until the pool was closed to get some privacy and he popped the question! Love it!!

Mahalo for choosing Simple Maui Wedding to plan your wedding in Maui Katelyn & Lance! Your wedding turned out beautiful and went so smoothly. We hope you had the amazing Maui wedding day you had dreamt of!
