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.

Because your wedding will take place far from home, you definitely need to hire a Maui wedding planner. Your planner will handle most of the local details for you, and this will include securing a permit for a beach wedding or reserving another spot for the ceremony. The wedding planner also can find a minister, order flowers, reserve musicians and a photographer and handle many other details. At Love Maui Weddings, for instance, you will find a team of experienced Maui wedding coordinators that have been helping couples plan their special day for 20-plus 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.

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.

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.
