The Best Wedding Venues In Maui

By Ella Hemmings


If you could choose the most romantic place on earth to marry, Maui would definitely be at the top of the list. With spectacular ocean vistas, amazing tropical scenery and unbelievable sunsets, there is no finer backdrop for your wedding day and even your honeymoon. When it comes to planning a wedding on the island of Maui, there are literally dozens of wonderful venue options to consider, and here are just a few of the interesting options.

For brides that have quite a few guests, you will need to find a spot that has enough room for your family and friends. This means that you probably should consider venues such as a resort or perhaps a plantation. There are several plantations that are set up for weddings and receptions, including the Maui Tropical Plantation. This plantation offers several areas for wedding ceremonies, including a gazebo that overlooks a lagoon. This is definitely an all-in-one venue as the staff can handle the ceremony and the reception that follows.

Spread among six acres of fragrant grounds, the Kula Botanical Garden is another excellent option for brides and grooms to consider. There are two gazebos which can be used for smaller weddings, and the main lawn can hold about 150 guests, so it is ideal for larger wedding parties. Another scenic choice might be the historic Cliff House, which rests alongside Namalu Bay. The scenery is stunning, and there is enough room for about 30 people to enjoy your ceremony.

Obviously the biggest draw in Maui is the ocean and the many picture perfect beaches, and many couples wish to share their vows right on the shore. This is certainly an option, although typically a beach wedding is better suited to couples with a small wedding party. However, just because the wedding party is small, the celebration can be elaborate, complete with flower leis, Hawaiian hula dancers and traditional island music.

Maui has many beaches that are well suited to nuptials, including world-famous Kapalua Bay, which is consistently named as the world's best beach. This beach is quite popular, but there are definitely intimate spots where you can enjoy sharing your vows. If you prefer a bit more seclusion, you can consider a venue such as Napili Bay or Makena Cove, which is also called the "Secret Cove." Another generally less crowded option would be Po'olenalena Beach, which is particularly quiet at sunset and during the week. On weekends, it's a popular beach spot for locals, but typically a midweek or evening ceremony will be pretty quiet, not to mention scenic.

Hiring a professional wedding planner can make the whole process much easier, and this is particularly true when you are planning a wedding far away from home. Your wedding planner will be familiar with all of the best venues on the island and can help you find one that suits your needs. In addition to helping find the location, they can help with many other details as well and might even offer several different affordable Maui wedding packages and Lahaina wedding packages.
