Of
all the islands, Maui is the #1 location for weddings in Hawaii. Its
beautiful scenery and sunny weather make the unique experience of getting
"Maui'd" romantic and exotic. Your taste, ceremonial instincts and budget
will dictate your style of wedding.
So, start dreaming about what you would really like to have at your wedding. Whatever your wishes, your special day can be accommodated on Maui.
Here are some things to consider in planning your Maui wedding day.
Wedding License
A wedding license can be obtained in just one day and
there is no waiting period for blood tests. So even if you're on vacation,
you can get married on Maui with very little preplanning. You can find
all the State's rules HERE.
Most Wedding Coordinators will handle this detail for you and even frame
your marriage certificate.
Wedding
Attire
Hawaiian wedding attire customs can be beautifully
simple... both bride and groom in white, with the groom wearing a colorful
waistband. In Hawaiian tradition, the groom wears a maile leaf
lei and the bride a floral haku lei headband. You can also choose
traditional formal wedding attire or something in between.
Ceremony & Setting
An
intimate ceremony on the beach with just the minister and one witness
is the simplest romantic wedding. It can be Traditional or Hawaiian style.
Most of Maui's ministers are also musicians and can add melodies to enhance
even a simple beach ceremony. Add a wedding cake, champagne, a photographer
and flowers to complete the celebration.
Or,
choose one of Maui's many churches like the Keawala'i Church in Makena
(right) or the Grand Wailea wedding chapel.
For privacy and partying afterwards too, select from one of dozens of beachfront estates.
For the adventurous, there are many wonderful wedding settings: Nearby waterfalls, rainforest waterfalls, underwater, helicopter adventures, on a yacht or on horseback. The location choices are endless. What excites your senses?
Photography
Documenting
your special day to share with your friends and family is an important
part of your wedding. You can choose from various formats: 35 mm, 2¼x2¼
(good for enlargements, digital, or cover the whole affair on videotape.
Whatever your choice, your photographer is an important consideration.
The photographer must be experienced in shooting weddings as there is
frequently only one opportunity to "get the shot." Wedding planners
have portfolios of photographers that they rely on to deliver the quality
coverage your wedding deserves.
Special Touches
Special touches set the scene and make your day unique.
Marry in a flower-laden gazebo. Arrive in a horse-drawn carriage or Hawaiian
outrigger. Stand in a circle of flowers, Hawaiian style. Release flights
of doves or butterflies. These and more are possible, when planning with
a good wedding coordinator.
