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.

A smaller guest list is usually a byproduct of a destination wedding. Because it can be expensive for guests, couples typically just invite the closest of friends and family. This actually can be nice because these are the people with whom you are the most intimate, which means you really get to spend quality time with them rather than having to mingle with dozens of people you don't really know. Still, if you are planning a Maui wedding, be sure to allow your guests several months of time to plan. It's wise to check with local hotels and ask about special deals if multiple rooms are booked. Be sure to treat these guests, who have traveled so far, to a special treat, such as a night at a local luau or perhaps a whale watching trip.

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.
