Tips For Couples Wanting A Maui Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


Your wedding day should be a day filled with excitement and plenty of romance, and holding the ceremony at a tropical location such as Maui can ensure that your day is perfect. Planning a destination wedding might seem quite difficult, but if you follow these helpful directives, preparing for your Maui wedding can be even easier than planning at a wedding in your hometown.

With a faraway destination, the hiring of a wedding planner is absolutely essential. This professional can help with all of the details locally, including securing the location for the ceremony, reserving a spot for the reception, finding an officiate for the service and booking florists, photographers, musicians and everything else you will need. For a Maui wedding planner, give the staff at Love Maui Weddings a call. They have been helping couples plan Maui destination weddings for more than 20 years.

There are even quite a few romantic wedding packages available from Love Maui Weddings, which makes planning even easier. For instance, for those wishing for a simple, intimate wedding or an elopement, consider the Simply in Love option, which runs just $575. It includes a ceremony on the beach, help securing the marriage license, the minister's services, handmade leis for the marital couple and a few special keepsakes. There are also packages that include musicians, professional photography or perhaps a ceremony where the bride arrives at the beach via an escorted outrigger canoe. In addition to the wedding packages, you can create a custom wedding ceremony and reception as well.

Perhaps the first task a couple needs to consider is where they wish to hold the ceremony. In Maui, there are plenty of amazing options. Obviously, a beach wedding is an excellent choice and there are many local beaches to consider. You also could marry at one of Maui's privately-owned plantations or at a luxury resort or even a historic Lahaina church. Many local restaurants feature beautiful grounds with ocean vistas and allow both the ceremony and reception to occur on site.

One of the reasons why destination weddings can be easier to plan and less expensive is that the location typically means fewer guests will be able to come. However, for those special people who will be attending, you really need to provide them with several months to plan their trip. They have to get time off from work, buy airline tickets and reserve their hotel rooms, and all of this requires time and money. Talk to your wedding planner about how to secure hotel rooms for less. Sometimes if you reserve several rooms, a hotel or resort offers a lower rate.

After you hire your planner, decide on a location and invite the guests, most of your job is complete. With most of the details set, simply decide on your attire. You might wish for formal ware and a lavish bridal gown, but in Maui, you can also opt for more casual choices. A long sundress could be a perfect option for the bride, and the groom could wear a Hawaiian shirt and dress pants. No matter what you choose, your Maui destination wedding is sure to the perfect start to a happy marriage.
