A Romantic Maui Wedding
Romantic Beach Locations
Unfortunately, starting August 1st, 2008, the State of Hawaii now requires anyone getting married on the beach to have a permit! This permit will cost a minimum of $20 and for larger wedding will run approximately $1 per person. There are certain requirements that have to be met to acquire these permits so be sure to reserve your wedding with someone that meets the requirements and does obtain the permit. If you are found to be doing a wedding without the permit the State can fine you up to $5,000. We will meet their requirements and obtain the permit for all of our weddings on the beach. We just received our permits for our August weddings and it took 12 days to complete the process. So if you are planning a beach wedding be sure to plan ahead.

Maui has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Depending on where you will be staying we will recommend the best one for you if you wish. We base our choice on years of experience. We do not want you to have to drive too far from your hotel if possible. Some beaches are a little more private than others and some may require a permit which we will be happy to obtain for you. Even if there are other weddings on the beach, most beaches are large enough to find a private space.

It is illegal to take alcohol on to the beach so we generally bring Ginger Ale or Sparkling Cider for your wedding toast.

Maluaka Beach

Maluaka Beach is in Makena and perfect if you are staying in Kihei or Wailea. The view consists of Kaho'olawe, Molokini and the north end of Maui. The colors in the morning are wonderful. We start our morning weddings at 8:00am or 8:30am. You may wish to follow up your wedding with a wonderful breakfast or dinner at the Sea Watch which is 5 minutes away. The sunsets are not bad either. We use North Maluaka at sunset and we start about 1 and 1/2 hours before it sets.

This is the south end of the beach and it is best for morning weddings!

 

There is a lot of beautiful lava rock for pictures at this location.

In the morning the light is perfect for photography!

This is a fun shot we like to do if there are no back problems! 

North Maluaka




Sunsets are great at North Maluaka!
There are also palm trees close by.


There is lava rock, greenery and
drift wood to add to the photography.

 

 
Another beautiful sunset!

 

Kapalua Bay

Located on the North West end of Maui, Kapalua Bay is a great place for a morning or sunset wedding. In the morning we start around 8:00am to avoid the crowd that comes there to snorkel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mokulea Beach

Mokulea is very close to Kapalua on the West side of Maui. It is a little more quiet and wonderful for morning weddings. Lots of lava rock and Molokai is in the background. This location is only good for morning weddings starting around 8:30am. There is a steep stairway here so heels are not recommended.

 

 

 


Napili Bay

This beach is located in West Maui and it is perfect for small intimate morning or sunset weddings. This beach is sometimes a little less crowded than most.

There is a lot of Lava rock at this beach and usually it is pretty quiet at this location.
