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.

One reason why destination weddings often are easier to plan, despite the faraway location, is the fact that you probably will need to hire a local wedding planner. Your Maui wedding planner will handle almost all of the details of your wedding, which reduces a huge amount of stress. Often, when we plan a wedding near our home, the bride and her family must handle all the details. For a Maui wedding, simply call the experts at Love Maui Weddings, and they can plan out all the details just as they have been doing for other happy couples since 1992.

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.

When it comes to ceremony locations, Maui has much to offer and this will probably be the first decision you make when talking to your wedding coordinator. There are many local beaches that allow wedding ceremonies, but you also could opt to marry at the local botanical gardens or perhaps on a lush, private plantation. Many local restaurants also serve as the site for weddings and receptions; some are located right on the beach or perhaps on a bluff with sweeping sea views. Lahaina has several historic churches where you can exchange your vows, and there are also resorts where you can book the ceremony, the reception and even the honeymoon.

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.

Once you have selected your wedding planner, your location, set a date and invited your guests, all you need to do is decide what to wear. For a simple beach wedding, you can even keep it casual and opt to wear khakis and a Hawaiian shirt and a pretty sundress. If you need a tuxedo or suit rental, ask your wedding planner about options in Maui. The great thing about a Maui destination wedding is that your planner handles all of the details and you really just have to show up and enjoy yourself.
