Coronavirus in Hawaii

The Coronavirus in Hawaii and our concerns for you…

Being asked to be part of your special day, to play a key role in your special Hawaii wedding is a true honor. I approach each wedding as a privilege. You’ve found the love of your life and you’re ready to marry and walk the same path in life. You’re ready to elope in Maui and feel the sand between your toes…

And then the world goes into a panic. Unlike anything we could have predicted.

Many of you have questions and I encourage you to contact us. We’re happy to help alleviate concerns and help you plan for something special in the future. We believe that we all must have hope and aloha for a brighter future. Looking forward to something will help us all get through this.

Wondering when the Coronavirus might hit Hawaii weighs on everyone’s mind here. Your Maui Wedding Team is diligently washing hands often, antibacterializing the equipment, washing down surfaces every 15 minutes and attempting the 6′ rule between strangers. We are sharing the aloha by watching out for shut-in neighbors, helping the elderly and watching over each others’ families. Our lives are fairly normal notwithstanding those adjustments. The Communities on Maui haven’t gone into a panic mode as it sounds like many places in the World has. Our hearts break as we read the news and hear what you all are going through. We hear your panic and your concerns as we don’t know what governmental changes will be administered next.

So where does that leave your dream of a Maui wedding? Please continue to plan your special day. If you feel more comfortable planning further out, then do that… but please don’t give up your dream out of fear. We will get through this. There will be an “other side”. Let your other side be bright and hopeful and ready for a brilliant future. Don’t wait in sadness and bleakness. You can inspire others with your own hope and optimism.

What can you do while self-isolating?

Dreaming of Eloping on Maui

Dreaming of eloping on Maui (and ticking off some bucket list additions)?

There is a reason the Hawaiian people say “Maui No Ka Oi!” (Maui is the Best!). It’s because it just is! It’s the reason why Oprah and many other highly visible individuals choose Maui as the place to escape to paradise. It’s the reason once you visit, you will forever long to return. The spirit of Aloha will remain in your heart long after your feet are back on home soil and will never quite leave you.

What better idea than eloping on Maui…

The term ‘bucket list’ became popular a few years back and there’s a reason we should all make one.

Not only in the way that you need to tick off items before you shuffle off this mortal coil, but in the way of making lasting memories that will make your heart sing every time you remember them. Romance, love, incredible sights, sounds and smells… that timeless elegance of gorgeous sand and gentle waves… Eloping on Maui is the chance of a lifetime to say “I do” in the purest beauty of the Pacific Ocean… experience the wonder that delights so many already!

Eloping on Maui and Making Memories

Life is about making memories, not ‘who dies with the most toys wins’. Go make a bunch of them!

Maui offers much for the ‘ticker of the bucket list’:

… from lazing on a pristine beach
… to peeking into the lives of some amazing sea life
… to thrill-seeking activities to wake up that adrenaline
… to the most stunning drive that you will see in many-a-lifetime.

Spend a day on the Road to Hana. Whether you chose to rent the car of your dreams and drive yourself or if you feel your eyes will be too busy taking in all the gorgeousness to stay affixed on the road and you elect to take a guided tour. Whichever way you choose to see it, do! There are more waterfalls than you’ve imagined on one drive and each curve of the road will uncover another lush ‘wow’ moment.

Whatever else is on your list, be sure to include checking out our amazing waterfalls.

Go whale watching if you’re here in the winter! Humpback whales make Maui their regular home and seeing these gentle giants is a once in a lifetime treat. Their smaller pals, the dolphins, also like to show themselves for your viewing pleasure and I know that watching these crazy clowns frolic definitely ticked off one of my list inclusions.

Likewise, Maui’s beautiful turtles, though not as large, are just as majestic and swimming with these beauties will fill your soul with a sense of calm. Check out a cleaning station or the turtle highway. Float on the surface and watch them feed or play.

Even just swimming through the warm clear waters without the company of any sea creatures is still one of the most delightful things to do. The clouds above reflecting on the surf… breathtaking.

If getting your heart pumping is more your style, then why not book yourself in for a zipline adventure. Maui offers choices from the kid friendly to soaring 90 ft above a canyon. It’s most definitely a different way to see this beautiful land and though it’s not on my list, for many of you it will be right up there (no pun intended!)

But maybe just slipping that ring on your wife’s finger and declaring your undying love will be adventure enough.

Make sure you take advantage of one of the many luaus available – please be sure to ask us which ones are worth the money so you’re not disappointed.

You will truly feel like you’ve experienced the Maui hospitality and become Ohana (family.) You will enjoy a beautiful meal whilst being entertained and leave feeling you have experienced the true Hawaii. If time is short for your elopement on Maui, we can bring the luau to you at your ceremony!

Your elopement on Maui is very special. It’s an opportunity to proclaim your love to one another and share new adventures for the first time. Our team can answer all your holiday questions – from planning the perfect personalized ceremony to selecting the best adventures to commemorate your holiday.

After you’ve had your fill of Maui (and perhaps that moment won’t ever come,) it’s just a quick flight to visit some of Hawaii’s other attractions, such as the Pearl Harbor monument on Oahu or an active volcano on the Big Island. It’s flowing right now for the first time in ages and is a gorgeous site at sunset or sunrise.

After your morning elopement on Maui, take a helicopter ride over to Molokai and view incredible cliff walls, waterfalls and land untouched by technology. Buy the video and share with all your friends!

So make your list, grab your partner and get your flights and accommodations. Our travel agents can help with every detail for no charge to you.

Go make Maui your new favorite place. Begin your life’s adventure on one of the most romantic, beautiful Hawaiian islands… What’s better than eloping on Maui – book your package now and open the next chapter of your book.

That’s what I call making memories – you’ll come back with a heart full as well as a new husband or wife! All without the stress of a a big wedding planning. Eloping on Maui – We’ll make it easy for you. Just read about us here!

Hawaii Beach Weddings

Jan29

When you consider where to have your Hawaii Beach Weddings, move Maui to the top of your list.

There are more grains of sand on the beaches of Maui then could ever possibly be counted. Each one appears to be similar to the next but actually each one is as unique as each one of us.

The eons of time and tide shaped each grain to make it perfect.

And when you stand at the edge of the ocean holding the hands of the one you give your love to, each grain of Maui sand, impeccably crafted by nature, holds you steady and true.

Sun warms your skin, love warms your heart, and following the same timelessness that it took to shape the sand, you wed. Your words to each get caught on a breeze and carried off into eternity.

No Keia La, No Keia Po, A Mau Loa
from this day, from this night, forever more.

Hawaii Beach Weddings for eloping

The beauty of simple Hawaiian beach weddings is that it allows couples to just ‘be in the moment’. It is impossible to not feel every emotion as well as every warm breeze. To hear every word spoken and also hear every wave caress the shore. Simple, yet incredibly elegant and intimate. And so memorable. Maui offers many beaches that offer that feeling of privacy – very much the opposite of Waikiki.

The Hawaiians have such beautiful ways to express love, joy, and happiness. Somehow expressions of love just sound more warm when they are wrapped with the Hawaiian language.

Aloha Aku No, Aloha Mai No;
I give my love to you, you give your love to me.

Uncomplicated, heartfelt, meaningful words that speak of commitment and adoration.

Please let us help you plan your unique, personal, and very memorable day. You are our Ohana for the day, our family, and we want your beach weddings to be everything you dreamed.

Aloha Maui Dream Weddings is ready to help you now! Plan your elopement for next week or your wedding for 100 friends next year. Our team can’t wait to start helping you.

Mahalo nui loa!

Eloping in Hawaii

Jan10

So you’ve decided that eloping in Hawaii is right for you!

Welcome! E komo mai! Let us show you why Maui is ideal!

Rather than spending insurmountable hours working out where you’re going to put Auntie Joan so she won’t offend your new family or why you have to invite cousins that you haven’t seen since you were 16… why not put your special day in the hands of one of Maui’s award winning wedding companies who will take all the stress out of planning your special day (well apart from maybe picking a dress – you’re on your own with that one!)

A wedding in Maui can be as intimate or lavish as you choose. Anything from a simple ceremony on the beach to a chapel wedding followed by a reception. Your wedding planner will coordinate with you via phone, email, Live Chat or text (the wonders this day & age brings the world so close) to make sure that your vision is bought to life.

And if you’re sans vision we can suggest designs for you! We can arrange as little or as much as you need – from simply the wedding license appointment to hair and make-up, flowers and transportation. Allow our professional team to take all of the stressful arrangements out of your trembling hands and onto their professional shoulders. (Speaking of trembling hands, do get a bouquet – it gives you something to do so the trembling is not so visible!)

There will always be a large selection of ‘wedding companies’ and once again in the days of the internet, there will be plenty of reviews to help you narrow down just who you want to take care of you.

Chat online and you will get a feeling for whether or not we are right for you. Then let us take care of you and all your questions. We know the lay of the land, good spots for your pictures, where to eat and who will make you look even more like a princess. It may be very unlike you to let go of the ‘to do’ list, but consider doing so and revel in the feeling of your shoulders being free.

Then just pack your bags, head to paradise and marry the other half of your dreams.
