Tips For Couples Wanting A Maui Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


There are many great reasons to consider a destination wedding, especially when the destination is the scenic island of Maui. Not only will you create some incredible and romantic memories, planning a destination wedding can be just as easy (or easier) than getting married near home. Here's some advice for couples that wish to plan an exciting destination wedding ceremony in Maui.

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.

This Maui wedding planning service offers several different packages to consider but also can help you plan out a custom wedding and reception. Packages range from a very affordable $575 package to more elaborate packages that include limo service, helicopter tours and many other exciting options. The $575 Simply in Love package is perfect for those wishing to elope or for couples wishing to have a wedding with 10 or fewer guests. The package has many included amenities such as a beach permit for your ceremony, the services of a minister, beautiful handmade leis for the bride and groom and some special keepsakes.

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.

No matter what type of Maui wedding you want, your wedding planner can make your dreams come true, and all you really have to do is show up. You don't even have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on wedding clothes. A simply white sundress is perfect for a beachfront wedding, and your guy can keep it just as casual with some khakis and a Hawaiian-style shirt or perhaps just a dress shirt and tie. When it comes to Maui, it is the destination that will make the day perfect, providing happy memories to last a lifetime.
