We ended the year with a tropical bang with Margot and Garrett’s Maui venue wedding! It was a truly magical and unforgettable experience that was a pleasure to coordinate. The couple was so excited to celebrate their love with their friends and family so keep reading to relive their magical day with us!

The ceremony took place on the stunning oceanfront lawn at Wailea Beach Resort, with breathtaking views of the Pacific as a backdrop! The couple exchanged vows under a gorgeous driftwood arch adorned with pink and orange tropical blooms. The ceremony was meaningful and emotional; you could feel the profound love between Margot and Garrett… Seeing how moved our beautiful couple was at first glance was so endearing!

After their beautiful ceremony, we walked down to the beach with our happy newlyweds for a few sunset portraits to end their Maui venue wedding! And boy, did they have the most amazing colors to mark their incredible day! The golden hour reflected the blissful and romantic ambiance that surrounded our beautiful newlyweds. They were utterly lost in each other’s embrace and kiss!

How gorgeous is Margot with her vibrant blooms! She looks so radiant in the sun’s golden glow…truly exquisite! And Garrett looked equally handsome in his blue suit that complemented the deep ocean blue in the distance…

It was a pleasure to coordinate your big day, Margot and Garrett! We are so happy to make your dream wedding come true! From all of us at Simple Maui Wedding, we send you both all the love, happiness, and joy in the years ahead!

In April 2021, Maureen and Kenneth visited the island and fell in love with it! When they got engaged, they were going back and forth on wedding planning due to COVID. Eventually, they decided to have a Maui venue wedding! Continue scrolling to see this heavenly event for yourself!

The Maui Venue Wedding

The Rustic Hawaiian Ruins were perfect for Maureen and Kenneth’s majestic wedding! In the photos captured by Karma Hill Photography, you can see how this venue set a flawless backdrop! Fairytale foliage, a coral brick wall, and a pastel sunset created a dreamy scene for this beautiful couple’s special day. Above all, we love how you can sense the magnetic energy fluttering around our stunning couple! 

It was a windy day, but during our lovely couple’s wedding — there wasn’t a breeze at all. With Peter Dagupion as the officiate, their Maui venue wedding was short and sweet. Our favorite thing is the vibrant floral arrangements by Dellables around the venue! All of the whimsical decorations make their ceremony look more divine!

Our Couple’s Story

Our beautiful couple’s story began in 2016 when they met at a music festival through mutual friends. Maureen decided to make the first move and asked Kenneth out on a date. Since they were both Disneyland pass holders, their first date was playing Pokemon Go around the park!

In October 2019, they took a trip to Japan. While our gorgeous duo was at the Ghibli Museum, Kenneth popped the question to Maureen! It was a flawless proposal because the location was on Maureen’s bucket list. Most importantly, we couldn’t imagine a more magical place to get engaged!

Congratulations, Maureen and Kenneth! Mahalo for letting us be part of your union under the sun! Wishing you a future full of love and happiness!

The secret is out… and we’re thrilled to announce our newest Maui wedding venue — The King Kamehameha Golf Club! Lux and elegant, this property was created using authentic 1950’s blueprints by Frank Loyd Wright, including details for a house designed for the queen of beauty herself — Marilyn Monroe. To welcome this gorgeous venue into the fold, we got together with our favorite vendors and organized a styled-shoot worthy of any pop culture icon!

Built in 1993, this Maui wedding venue is decked out with modern utilities while still maintaining the original Frank Loyd Wright design. With sweeping bi-coastal views and a convenient central-Maui location, the King Kamehameha Golf Club is a must-see for those in love with art deco glam!

For our ceremony shots, we utilized the lovely Kahalawai terrace. Located on the west end of the property, this sweet grassy lawn overlooks towering pines, both coastlines, and the expanse of Maui.

To emphasize all the retro glam of this Maui wedding venue, Della from Dellables knocked it out of the park and designed a custom arch that gave us all the Great Gatsby feels! But her talents didn’t stop there — she also used her artist’s eye to arrange gorgeous blooms of white calla lilies and tropical flora.

To capture it all, the Karma Hill Photography Team brought their A-game and created photo magic behind the lens! One of our favorite aspects of styled shoots is seeing the venue through the photographer’s eye — KHP always manages to find the special features and capture those details with their light and airy style.

Acting as our own Marilyn Monroe for the day was the beautiful Kiah Ward. We had a blast working with her as she showed off those dreamy stares and then flexed her guns between shoots. This woman is nothing short of a queen.

Adorning Kiah is an intricately beaded gown from Elly’s Formal Wear. We loved how the geometric patterns tied in with the retro theme of the ceremony decor. With a draped mid-drift and streamlined silhouette, this was a bridal dress fit for a bombshell!

The team at Salon 253 were our makeup gurus for the day. We’re always blown away by their ability to highlight a bride’s unique beauty and still bring all of that rich drama! With a bold brow and lash, Salon 253 accented Kiah’s natural glow while dollying her up in retro glam.

Marilyn Monroe acted in How to Marry a Millionaire, but as gorgeous as this venue is, you don’t need to be a millionaire (or marry one!) to book it! With a reasonable site fee, we’re offering a base package on the Kahalawai terrace for only $4250. This package includes:

* Up To 2 Hours Of Use Of Ceremony Lawn 
* Maui Minister/Officiant
* Licensing Assistance
* Leis For Ceremony Exchange
* Bridal Bouquet From Our Floral Selections
* 1.5 Hours Of Professional Photography Coverage By The Karma Hill Photography Team
* 100 Retouched High-Resolution Images Included. Additional Edited Images, Professional Prints, And Albums Available For Purchase A La Carte.
* Up To 40 White Garden Chairs
* Water Station
* On-Site Coordinator To Ensure Your Day Goes Smoothly.* Our List Of Top Recommended Vendors On Maui For Services Such As Hair And Makeup, Transportation, Restaurants, Etc.
* Complimentary Consultation With A Maui Based Travel Agent
* Complimentary Concierge Service To Book Activities, Restaurants, Tee Times And More!

Or if you’re planning a smaller elopement, the Hoapili Gardens may be the perfect option. With a rock waterfall and river features, this special ceremony location features an expansive view, a cute wooden bridge, and an abundance of greenery. For just $3550, you can say “I do” to your special-someone at this unique and lux Maui wedding venue.

We recognize that with the new restrictions and the ever-changing atmosphere, many couples are opting for simple yet beautiful elopements, so we’re offering special add-ons that will allow you to live-stream the ceremony to loved ones back home. Everyone will be glowing along with you!

Following the ceremony shoot, we explored the towering structure of the clubhouse. Featuring unique window-work, this Maui wedding venue will leave an unforgettable impression — trust us, we’re still swooning over it!

Just a few queens slaying…

From intricate glass details to an arching stairway and a golden elevator that looks like a relic from the mid-century, this Maui wedding venue is flooded with gorgeous art deco elements that will take your breath away. We’re SO excited for the day when we can explore the property with a future lucky couple!

We’d like to give a big shout out to the amazing vendors who helped us turn this dream shoot into a reality. Dellables, Salon 253, and Elly’s Formal Wear, as always, it was such a pleasure to work with such a talented crew! Thank you to The King Kamehameha Golf Club for opening up your gorgeous venue to allow this shoot! And, of course, thank you Kiah for being our bombshell bride for the day!

We can’t wait for the time when we can coordinate a wedding at this spectacular Maui venue and turn a couple’s own dream into reality! We’ll be here waiting for you.

We are beyond excited to introduce one of our newest Maui wedding venues, the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins! If you’re looking for a venue that’s rich in culture and surrounded by unbelievable tropical beauty, look no further! Our couples now have the opportunity to say “I do” in the historical ruins of the Kilolani Church. Built in 1852 by the Native Hawaiian historian and scholar, David Malo, the church once featured a thatched roof and blown glass windows, but after a devastating fire and severe flooding, the architecture was left in ruins. Yet even as ruins, the rustic and sacred beauty remains and then some!

The original hand-hewn coral and river rocks still embrace this venue but now the thatched roof has been replaced by the brilliant Maui sky. Located in sunny Kihei and just minutes away from Kihei Bay Surf and Menehune Shores Condos, the Rustic Hawaiian Ruins offers plenty of seating and ample parking. And did we mention swaying palms? Yep, endless swaying palms! Want to see more? Keep scrolling for an unforgettable styled shoot at our newest Maui wedding venue!

In 1976, this beautiful site was revived as the Trinity Episcopal Church by-the-Sea and is preserved and cared for by their dedicated community. To replace the blown glass windows, this venue has simply let the spectacular Maui greenery do its thing. Palms reach over the ruins and kiawe trees extend into the blue skies.

With rows of pews and a stone-laid altar front and center, the ceremony design opportunities are endless. For this styled shoot, our immensely talented friends at Dellables incorporated rustic and Hawaiian elements to accent the historical nature of the ruins. Fresh fruit, palms, orchids, and old-timey candles elevate this ceremony into a dream of tropical chic!

The fun-loving Chelsea and Cody were our gorgeous models for the day. Chelsea wore a boho gown with side cutouts and a neutral undertone that perfectly complemented Cody’s contemporary suit of cranberry and cobalt blue.

And once again, Dellables knocked it out of the park with a gorgeous rustic Hawaiian bouquet and endless florals and greenery to rock this beautiful Maui wedding venue.

Chelsea is one of the talented artists at Salon 253, so Adiel (the salon’s owner) treated her to incredible hairstyles! We’re loving the beachy waves of this retro glam! Keep scrolling for an elegant and rustic updo. Salon 253 offers bridal services via it’s bridal brand, Salon 253 Bride.

Following the ceremony portraits, we whisked our couple all the way to the beautiful Keaka beach–and by “all the way” we mean just down the street. Yes, literally! Not only is our newest Maui wedding venue ridiculously gorgeous, but it’s also unbelievably convenient!

Keaka beach is a stones throw away from the ruins and features an abundance of gorgeous photo opportunities. Scarlet and pink bougainvillea, a natural pond, a manicured green park, and a rustic stretch of white sand make this beach an unforgettable locale for newly-wed portraits.

Chelsea and Cody are engaged and plan to elope. These two lovebirds were a blast to work with and had us laughing throughout the shoot. We wish them all the smiles in the years ahead!

We can’t wait to coordinate real ceremonies at this spectacular Maui wedding venue! Special thanks to Dellables, Salon 253, and the Trinity Episcopal Church by-the-Sea for helping to turn this styled shoot into a reality!

After helping their niece elope here a few years ago, Amber & Stephen were inspired to have their own unforgettable vow renewal on Maui. Married for over 17 years, this couple wanted a celebration that was special and meaningful yet still fun and casual. And we think their Big Day was that and then some!

Amber & Stephen first said “I do” in a courthouse and felt the rustic shore of Ironwoods was the perfect place to say “I do again.” With heavy rains forecasted, our couple was happily surprised to be greeted with a glistening ocean and warm sands on the morning of their celebration.

We love how Amber tossed the classic white dress aside and showed off her spunk with a bold print of cascading blues! And with Stephen decked in a casual polo and shorts to match, this couple is ready for a Maui style celebration!

Residing on the Garden Ilse for part of the year, our couple knows how to stay comfortable on the shoreside. Although the time they spend on Maui is becoming less and less now that they have two sweet grandbabies!

And speaking of sweet, their little girl Mia joined the party, offering some congratulatory kisses of her own.

Sometimes, the love is so bright, you need a good pair of shades!

Mahalo nui loa, Amber & Stephen, for choosing us to coordinate your awesome vow renewal on Maui. We hope you enjoyed your breakfast at the Plantation in Kapalua, and we wish you all the very best in the years ahead…

At Simple Maui Wedding, we exclusively hire Karma Hill Photography for all of our gorgeous wedding captures. For Sunny & Aaron’s beautiful wedding at the 5 Palms, Cheynice, one of their talented photographers, summed up the occasion so perfectly, that we thought we’d let her tell the story of this incredible ceremony:

“When I arrived at Sunny’s condo, she was hard at work perfecting her makeup, almost overwhelmed. We were all so glad she took her time with her makeup because she looked absolutely stunning when she was all done! She even cried as she was putting on her dress because she was so emotional that her makeup was perfect and everything was finally coming together. As her dress was buttoned up, she added the pearl necklace her mother-in-law let her borrow. It was such a classy touch to her beauty.”

“It was drizzling just before Reverend Richardo’s conch blew, but when Sunny arrived, the rain stopped moments before she made her entrance.”

“Everyone loved Richardo’s ceremony. He had the couple and all of the guests laughing and smiling throughout, which was just what the couple wanted.”

“After the ceremony, we gathered for photos on the beach of the 5 Palms. Keawekapu is where they love to hang out as a family together, so it’s become a sentimental beach for them all.”

“As the final minutes of the sunset came to a close, Sunny and Aaron experienced the most vibrant colors for their sunset! Sunny was saying ‘It’s almost comical to have such a perfect sunset!’ It was true since the whole day they had overcast skies leading up to those very last moments.”

“Overall it was a very beautiful day and Sunny and Aaron were left as happy as ever.”

Mahalo nui loa, Sunny & Aaron, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your Wedding at the 5 Palms. We wish you all the joy (and vibrant sunsets!) in the years ahead…

Come see another gorgeous ceremony by Simple Maui Wedding: All That You Are – Stephanie & Austen’s Maui Wedding On the Beach

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…

What do you get when two families meet halfway around the world on the shores of the Magic Isle? A Maui destination wedding! Megan was born in Australia but moved to Canada when she was just ten-years-old… and there, she eventually met the love of her life, Tim!

These two met at a mutual friend’s party, and it didn’t take long for them to decide (together) to take their relationship to the next level. And it was this past February, in the lush rainforest of Queensland’s Lamington National Park, where they officially got engaged! They figured the best spot to say “I do” was where Megan’s parents often frequent, the Kihei Surf Side!

The day was bright and breezy, with hardly another soul on the emerald lawn, making for a quiet and intimate ceremony with just the bride and groom and their closest family.

When asked about their preferred photography style for their Maui destination wedding, our couple responded “Goofy and fun!” And we couldn’t have been more thrilled! We are ALL about capturing those big smiles and sealing that laughter in photos that will be cherished for a lifetime! We welcome fun and say, “Bring on the goofy!”

And trust us, there are plenty more smiles to come… Keep scrolling!

Following the ceremony, we swept our couple away to the white sands of Southside beach for extra fun and goofy couples portraits…

…That is, when “goofy” is an acronym for “G.orgeous O.utback (woman) on the O.ceanside F.lirting… Y.AAAAAAS!” Check out all the sweet moments!

Congratulations, Megan & Tim! Thank you for trusting us to coordinate your Maui destination wedding. We had a wonderful time, and we wish you all the happiness and fun in the future ahead…

To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Mari-June & Roy flew in from Cali for their unforgettable Hawaii beach vow renewal! And of course, they brought their kids with them… including their furbaby, Max! This little ball of adorableness has traveled all across the country with his humans–and having visited Oahu once before, he was no stranger to the sandy shore!

Our couple met in high school and were married six years later. They love to travel, watch sports, and have little lunch dates together. It’s clear that these two have an inseparable bond and they’re still as head-over-heels in love as they were on that first day of high school…

Max was such a good boy! Although he was used to the sand, he was still a little unfamiliar with the Maui waves. Yet he stayed cool as a cucumber. Check out those sweet brown eyes!

Just as Mari-June & Roy once again declared their commitment and love for one another, the sky began to glow in a subtle coral, perfectly matching our couple’s special day palette. Talk about a good luck sign!

After the toast, Mari-June & Roy made a heartwarming declaration to their daughters. They wanted them to know that they’ll always be there with open arms and unconditional love… it was so touching!

Mari-June is on-point in a clean and classic gown with draped shoulder accents and a gorgeous woven side-braid! And Max is sporting a pinstripe suit and a smile to drool over!

We love, love, love the sincerity and true love captured in this shot! How sweet can one couple be?!

And speaking of sweet, this whole family is dressed to the nines and positively luminous!

Mahalo, Mari-June & Roy, for selecting Simple Maui Wedding for your Hawaii beach vow renewal. Your special day was absolutely beautiful, and we wish you an abundance of love in the years ahead…

One day, after his mother called to ask when he was going to get married, Daemon sat down with Ruolan and they made the difficult decision to have a Maui beach elopement… just kidding! Far from a difficult choice, these two were happy and immensely relieved to elope in a beautiful island paradise! Ruolan wanted a beach wedding, and the couple had already booked a Maui trip, so the elopement just seemed to fall into place. Simple and as beautiful as can be…

This dynamic duo met online a little over two years ago, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since! With no kids and no pets, our couple loves exploring the diverse food scene in Seattle while saving a drop of time for some West Coast swing dancing! These two are the complete package: brains and beauty! Ruolan works as a family physician for Kaiser Permanente and loves traveling, and Daemon is a data scientist for Microsoft who loves himself a good cocktail! Keep scrolling for all the beautiful and heartwarming shots!

We love the brilliant light and power-poses of this incredible capture! There’s no doubt that this beautiful couple will continue to support and uplift each other in the years ahead…

Our hearts are melting… How precious is this candid moment?!

Draped in a lace halter with endless pleats of chiffon, this bride is gorgeous and eco-friendly… who needs a designer gown when you can get one as stunning as this from a consignment shop!

And speaking of gorgeous, Daemon is on-fleek in a gray wool suit and peach-colored boutonniere. His color pallet perfectly complemented the soft, Hawaiian sunset of their Special Day.

Mahalo nui loa, Ruolan & Daemon, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your intimate Maui beach elopement. It was truly our pleasure. We wish you all the love in the years ahead…

The whales were putting on their best show for Kelly & David’s Maui beach wedding at Ironwoods! It seemed as if every moment was punctuated with a full-bodied breach or tail splashing against the glistening horizon. Maybe it was the tropical weather that brought them out: not too hot and not too windy, but just perfect. And the only thing on the beach that was more inspirational than the whales were the endless smiles and laughter of this amazing couple!

After meeting on Bumble, Kelley & David knew it was meant to be… so they took the big leap and not only tied-the-knot on a lovely Maui beach, but they also blended their beautiful families into one. Keep scrolling for all the heartwarming moments!

As Kelley made her entrance onto the shore, her daughter-in-law escorted her down the steps where David met her on the sand. And there, he had his first look at his gorgeous bride, and his happiness was impossible to miss.

The bride and groom walked to the ceremony hand-in-hand, radiating with a glowing love.

Speaking of glowing love, we can’t get enough of these sunshine-filled smiles! Luckily, there are pleeeenty more where these came from! Keep scrolling!

Standing front and center is the couple’s grandson, who was also their ringbearer. He may have been a bit too nervous to deliver the rings, but he was all about posing in his trendy bowtie and suspenders! And with a face as cute as his, it’s easy to see why!

With a twisted updo and strapless gown, Kelley was just as stunning as her Maui beach wedding sunset!

Mahalo nui loa, Kelley & David, for trusting Simple Maui Wedding with your beautiful beachside ceremony. We wish you all the smiles in the years ahead!
