Last year, Michelle and I had the chance to check out a few of the many Maui wedding venues. Maui is a wonderful place to have a Hawaiian wedding! I’m a firm believer that a wedding planner is not necessary for planning a destination wedding as long as you are willing to do a bit of research and go into your wedding with a sense of adventure. Michelle and I took this attitude with us to Maui as we looked around for possible wedding venue sites that we would like to photograph. I was amazed by how much information was available and how easy it would be to setup a destination wedding in Maui. Beside some of the wonderful locations for having your wedding I’ve listed below, there are numerous adventures for you and guests to have while you are on the island. Maui’s tropical weather is simply brilliant for destination weddings anytime of the year. I highly suggest making time to explore Haleakala volcano as you finish atop a 10,000 foot peak with the most amazing views in the world. The snorkeling in Maui is incredible. You and your wedding guest should make to swim in the fish bowl, which is a protected piece of corral that holds hundreds of different kinds of fish. Cruising around the island will have you ending up on the North Shore. Be sure to watch the surfers ride the giant waves. On your way back, check out the green “best banana bread in the world” hut but, be sure to arrive early enough in the day as they sell out very quickly each day. You will find that planning your Maui wedding is extremely easy as the staff at all of the locations below are incredibly helpful and understand the hang-ups when planning a Maui destination wedding. If you have any questions about Maui wedding photography, or what is required for great pictures during your Maui wedding, please call or email anytime. The below information should help get you started planning your wedding in Maui.

My recommended Maui wedding venues are listed below.
……
The Grand Wailea Chepel is one of many chures or chapels on Maui. The wedding chapels on Grand Wailea Gazebo and Seaside Wedding Chapel are both close to the Grand Wailea Resort. I have no idea about the cost but, the locations are simply wonderful and this Maui Wedding Photographer would love to shoot your wedding here.
St. Johns Church is close to the Haleakala Crater in Kula. This location affords gorgeous views up above the busy urban locations below.
The Hyatt Regency Resort is in West Maui and has several intimate wedding sites which include the Statue Gardens and on onsite Wedding Chapel. This resort offers a complimentary of full wedding services including food and other wedding arrangements.
The Renaissance Wailea Resort has a private wedding venue called the Aloha Aina which features a waterfall behind where you stand during your vows. Gorgeous!
The Makena Cove or Makena Surf Beach is a great spot for your wedding. The Maui Prince Hotel is very close to these sites and offer a waterfall and/or garden courtyard location for your wedding.
The Tropical Gardens of Maui or Tropical Botanical Gardens are situated close to the Lao Mountain valley which is in Wailuku. The gardens have many places for a Maui wedding. The gardens offer a gorgeous gazebo and lush lawns.
In Makena, the South Maluaka Beach Park is a perfect setting for your Maui wedding. The beaches are hidden by steep cliffs and require no fees or permits.
The Seawatch wedding knoll in Wailea sits at the bottom of the Haleakala Crater. This is a very intimate wedding site for small groups. The views from this location are spectacular! The Seawatch is a dream Maui wedding photographers location.
The Kapalua Bay Hotel is on the west side of Maui and offers gorgeous sunsets. I suggest you consider an evening wedding to take advantage of the gorgeous skies and crisp peacefulness that comes with each passing day on Maui.
Kapalua Bay Beach is also on the west side of Maui. The last time I checked, this location required no permit for having your wedding celebration. Being a Maui wedding photographer, I love shooting weddings as the sun is going down on the west side of Maui.
Napili Bay Beach offers beautiful scenic views of rocky point which has room for only a few people. I caution you not to invite to many guests to this wonderfully intimate location.
For your convenience, I am listing some of the best Maui wedding beaches. The Cove Makena, Po’olenalena Makena, South Maluaka Makena, North Maluaka, Four Seasons Wailea, Polo Beach Wailea, Grand Wailea, Keawakapu Wailea, Ironwoods West Side, Kapalua Bay West Side, D.T. Flemming West Side
