Maui beach wedding locations




Trying to determine the best Maui wedding location?

Incredible Maui beach wedding locations

We primarily offer weddings on two sides of Maui – the South side and the West side, with the exceptions of Adventurous Waterfall Weddings and the occasional “Arctic” Haleakala Volcano Weddings. The South side of Maui is the dryer side of Maui year-round and with more opportunities for seclusion/weather, it is the side we most recommend . The West side typically is lusher but that comes due to the notorious “West Maui mist”.

The South side of Maui includes many spectacular beaches. Some are large enough to get away from tourists, some are virtually private and others still retain their magic, no matter how many guests are on the beach at any given time. Some beaches provide Tahiti-like aqua blue water at certain times of day while others offer breath-taking views of surrounding areas.

Some areas require State Permits, others require County Permits. All public property will require some type of permit and mandatory insurance.
