Maui Destination Weddings: Some Helpful Tips

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.

Maui offers several different options for wedding ceremony locations, so one of your first steps will be to decide on a location. You can opt for a beachfront wedding or perhaps get married on a bluff overlooking the ocean. There are private plantations, a botanical garden, resorts, historic chapels and even gourmet restaurants that often host weddings and receptions. It's just a matter of what most appeals to you.

Obviously, the guest list for a destination wedding is usually quite a bit smaller than for a wedding at home. While this certainly can reduce the costs of a wedding, you need to give the guests you are inviting plenty of time to plan for this occasion. Even if it's just going to be a few close friends, your siblings and parents, people will need several months to plan. They have to schedule absences from work, buy plane tickets and book accommodations. You can help by reserving blocks of rooms at a local hotel or resort, and sometimes if you reserve enough rooms, you can obtain a special 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.
