There is no place even in Hawaii like Maui.

Maui is the Perfect Destination Wedding Location

Is Maui the Right Place for Wedding in Hawaii?

Those of us who live on Maui are fond of saying "Maui no kai oi." What that means is: "Maui is like no other." There is no place on earth quite like it.

If you’ve never been here, you will be pleasantly surprised. Still relatively uncrowded, Maui has some of the world’s greatest beaches, postcard perfect for your on-the-beach wedding ceremony.

 

All of the Hawaiian islands are spectacular. But we believe Maui is the best choice. And the fact that half of all Hawaiian tourist weddings take place on this island probably proves the point.

 

So Maui is a great choice for your wedding.

 

Our Maui Weather

 

Maui’s weather is almost always good. The average daytime temperature is between 70 and 88 YEAR ROUND. That means you can come here in the dead of winter and still swim the beaches. So choose the best time for yourself, and leave the cold weather behind.

 

Maui is full of fun activities

 

There's so much to do here! You can parasail or windsurf or go deep-sea fishing. Boogie board or surf. Snorkel or scuba. In winter, watch the humpback whales breeching offshore. Drive into a tropical wilderness on the road to Hana.

Play through on a championship golf course or enjoy a fabulous Luau. Shop on Front Street or explore an old whaling vessel in Lahaina. Eat in one of Maui's classy restaurants with ocean-front seating. Ride a bicycle down the world's largest dormant volcano. Discover one of our secluded black-sand beaches. Explore the back country in a four-wheel drive or swim inside the sea caves in south Maui.

 

Your biggest problem here will be deciding WHAT to do next. Because some of the best activities will be filled if you wait until you come to here to sign up, you might want to book your activities before you arrive on Maui. We can help you book your Maui activities.

 

The best time to come to Maui

 

There is virtually no bad time to be on Maui. But high season on the island (when the rates and occupancy are the highest) runs between mid-December and mid-April each year. This is when the "snow birds" show up from the mainland and also when the whales are here.

 

For the wedding industry, May and June are also high months, so if you’re planning to be a June bride, be sure to book your wedding early to get the date you want. July and August are a little hotter and so the number of tourists goes down, but school is also out for many so that keeps traffic up. Probably the best time to come is between mid-October through early December. It is the least crowded and the rates are best before December 15th.

 

Where to Stay on Maui

 

The two best areas on the island are West and South Maui. Although West Maui has a few more resorts, I recommend South Maui (because the climate and beaches are better for your wedding and the resorts nicer than up in West Maui). When you consider booking accommodations, be sure to know whether its in West or South Maui.

 

The west side is framed against the normally lush and green West Maui mountains centered at the old seaport of Lahaina. There are many great resorts lining the Ka’anapali coast, and you can get married on their grounds but not on the public beach there as the State has banned weddings from it. The offshore islands of Lanai and Molokai offer an incredible backdrop for your sunset beach photos.

 

South Maui is the dry side of the island least likely to incur a rain storm that might impact your wedding. The resorts in this area are excellent and the many golf courses are all nice and green. It is less crowded in South Maui and there are many excellent free beach locations for your special day.

 

Save Money on Maui Accommodations

The resorts on Maui are more expensive than the many inexpensively priced condos that are available. They're much more spacious, have more amenities and are usually a third to half as expensive as the resort prices. And many of them have excellent locations right on the beach.

Condos often have full kitchens so you can cook if you desire. Even if you're planning to eat out all of your major meals, it's still nice to have a refrigerator to stock cold drinks, fruits and snacks. The "feel" of most condos is usually very luxurious. They often have several TVs, sometimes a VCR and a stereo system and usually a microwave.
