Congratulations, you’re engaged! Now you’re searching for the best beach wedding packages Hawaii. You’ve researched all the islands and have decided on the best fit for you with many choices of relaxing beaches, great restaurants, amazing snorkeling, beautiful rainforests and great wedding locations.
So you’re considering a Maui wedding for your beach wedding packages Hawaii? Good choice!
Maui weddings are absolutely amazing. Not only do you have the best backdrop for your ceremony, but also you have some nice choices for reception venues. Whether you’re doing this on a grand scale and renting out one of my favorite spots, like the Palm Court at the Fairmont Hotel Kealani, or you’re keeping it intimate with a small buffet table on an exclusive lanai of a beautiful restaurant… either way, you’ve chosen the correct island for your beach wedding packages in Hawaii. Don’t, however, be misled by stunning pictures of deserted beaches and lush greenery… know how to pick the right beach with the right help to achieve your vision.
Combining your Maui wedding and your Maui Honeymoon keep costs lower and enhance your entire wedding experience.
Many people select their beach wedding packages Hawaii based on where they’re staying on the island. That’s fine, but keep in mind that there are fewer choices for acceptable wedding beaches on the West Side of Maui. Because of that reason, if you select a West Side Maui wedding beach, expect there to be more visitors enjoying their beach time on the same beach as your wedding. Many couples are surprised when they show up for their wedding and find that they’ve selected a very popular time or place for beach goers. Ask us about private venues that you can rent to stay in and have your wedding and reception there as well.
Working with a Maui wedding planner, such as ourselves, that keeps an eye on the beach trends is in your favor. Being flexible with your beach location is another great way to enhance your wedding ceremony experience.We take into consideration the sun table, tide table and current popularity of all the beaches we use for weddings.
Having a Maui wedding on Ka’anapali Beach is no longer an option since the State of Hawaii has banned commercial activity on the beach; however there are beautiful alternatives. If you feel like taking a small hike, check out Ironwood Beach – recommended for early morning weddings. We offer beach wedding packages Hawaii here.
One of the most popular wedding beaches on the West Side is Kapalua Bay. Being popular does not mean it is the most ideal Maui wedding beach. Being popular just means that many people select it for their wedding or honeymoon pictures location. Read into this “popular=often times busy”.
Decide how you want to remember your wedding – intimate or with lots of onlookers. The choice is yours.
Now consider the South Side…Whether or not you are staying on the South Side of Maui, you really should consider having your ceremony on the South Side. Imagine walking on the softest imaginable sand… surrounded by beautiful tropical trees, groupings of lava rocks protruding from the sandy beaches. Most importantly, enough beaches to accommodate beach goers and ceremonies alike!
Good planning can help create magical intimate moments…
Many brides and grooms are drawn to the magical legends surrounding the beach known as Makena Cove. The pictures are spectacular online. What you should know about Makena Cove…… those pictures were captured by professional photographers that know how to take pictures without the onlookers showing in the background. It is a rare and special occasion to have Makena Cove (aka Secret Cove) all to ourselves. We do watch the trends to give our clients the best possible opportunity for privacy on this beach; however, as brides and grooms you should know that at times there can be up to 6 weddings on this small patch of sand. You need to be prepared that this can happen, and does frequently.
One of my favorite wedding beaches is White Rock Beach. Some might not think of it as a favorite wedding beach, but here’s 5 reasons why I do…
1. There’s plenty of space so if there are beach goers on the beach, we can get away from them.
2. There’s beautiful background scenery – lava rocks, tropical trees… Your photographer is in heaven working with you here
3. It’s often not the first idea for wedding planners which is great for those that do use it.
4. Parking is easy
5. A restroom option was added this past year.
