Weddings in Hawaii

Image
Marry Me Maui Wedding Planners has the privilege of working with couples from all around the world. Our in-house photography team, with decades of professional experience, gets the opportunity to photograph those couples in some of the most superb and pristine environments in the world. Maui's beaches are incredibly beautiful. The sand varies in color from beach to beach but the ocean is deep blue and the beaches in all the resort areas face west, for those incredible sunset portraits. Where else can you get maui'd with green sea turtles near shore and, at certain times of the year, endangered humpback whales cavorting at sea? A Maui wedding at Kapalua Bay is one of our favorites. While the beach may experience the passing shower now and again, it is usually mostly sunny, breezy and lightly used. We always have a "plan B" in case of rain but that happens very infrequently.

Catherine and Mark travelled all the way from the UK to get Maui'd! We were so pleased they chose our wedding planning services. We had a beautiful afternoon ceremony at Kapalua Bay and they had a wonderful time. 27 hours in a plane is a long way to go but Maui in THE destination island on the planet. Before you get here, be sure to book Maui's premier wedding planning company ; Marry Me Maui. You'll have plenty of great memories to bring home with you. Mahalo Cathrine and David!

Maui Commitment Ceremonies

Image
We had the pleasure of performing a commitment ceremony on one of our favorite Makena Beaches last week. It was a perfect day, soft breeze and gently setting sun. Some of the beaches on Maui are the perfect venue for a commitment ceremony and even though there may be other people on the beach, they are few and far between and always respectful of us. The Rev. Diana George gave Barb and Tish a wonderful ceremony as the sun sank into the sea...

Maui Wedding, Kapalua Bay

Image
Mary Kate and Dan tied the knot on a cool, cloudy morning at Kapalua Bay on June 3, 2010. It was a beautiful ceremony with 15 of their closest friends and relatives in attendance. Morning weddings on Maui have their own special feel and while we don't get those sunset shots, the bride, groom and family have the entire day free to explore and celebrate. Mornings are cooler than the afternoon and morning weddings make for a great way to start the day What about sunset you say? Mary Kate and Dan booked us for the next evening, in a different location, to do a sunset shoot. We could also "trash the dress" if that's what you have in mind. Mahalo Mary Kate and Dan, best of luck to you in your future together.

Professional Maui Wedding Photography

There are a some old adages that are usually true. One is that "you get what you pay for". Time and again when we purchase the cheapest item we end up buying another one after it breaks costing us more than if we'd just went with the quality product first. With a Maui destination wedding , there are no do-overs so you need to make sure you get it right the first time. Another old adage is that "patience is a virtue". Fast food never tastes as good as a home cooked meal which may take hours to prepare. The same is true for photography. Sometimes, a potential client will not book with us because they feel the wait for the images is too long. Patience, my friend. We do this the old fashioned way. We go through all the images, picking out the best and then retouching each one individually to remove unsightly blemishes, optimizing the images for reproduction. This is time consuming and we are fortunate enough to have many clients who are also waiting for professional...

Hawaii Destination Wedding

20% of today's weddings are destination weddings. There are some things to keep in mind while planning your Maui Wedding . Destination. Some of your family or guests may not even own a passport. They may never have been out of the country and their fears, realistic or not, about your destination location should be considered. Hawaii has the advantage of being one of the most spectacular locations on the globe with incredible scenery, sparkling beaches and Aloha. Maui also has the advantage of being part of the United States, a big bonus for many relatives and friends. Be careful where you send your guests for accommodations. 5 star hotels are nice but they can run 500.00 per night. Ask us about the condos across the street from the beach where two bedrooms and a full kitchen can run $250.00. For you international brides, currency rates are in your favor. with a weak dollar, Australian and Canadian couples can get their Maui dream wedding at a discount now. Since your guests will be...
