What is on your wish list for your special day? Gone are the days of having to invite everyone you’ve ever met! Nowadays your special day is all about you and the love of your life with those friends and family close enough to drop everything for your special event.

Most people don’t have a list of invitees that necessitates a massive reception venue and so what to do if your guest list consists of only a few close friends and family but more than the intimate beach wedding concept?

Maui wedding venuesThe idea of a destination wedding at a Maui wedding venue is becoming not only extremely appealing, but quite often more cost effective than a “traditional” wedding . Just imagine how thrilled your guests will be to combine your magical day with a tropical island vacation? Not only will you and your other half never forget your wedding day but also those guests lucky enough to be with you will also hold your day forever in their treasured memories.

 

maui wedding beachThere are many places in the world that have experts that can create a destination wedding experience… places where you can put your wish list in someone else’s capable hands and just show up on that special day ready to be pampered. For my money though the places that top the list are places with sun, sand and sea. There is nothing like standing in paradise gazing at your love with the sun on your back and the sound of the ocean in your ears.

 

Maui Wedding VenuesSo what destination do you choose?

A place that would suit most any couple (and their guests) is Hawaii. And the pick of places in Hawaii is the wonderful island paradise of Maui. Maui is close enough from wherever in the world you’re traveling from, the weather is near perfect all year round and there are a couple wonderful venues to hold our special dream event.

In fact, choose Maui and a wedding planner like Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and there will really not be a lot more for you to worry about apart from what to pack in your suitcase.

There is such a magical place where the property gracefully meanders its way to the edge of the ocean through the shaded boughs of aged trees. One such property is located on the western  coast of the island. Experience the combined luxury feel of old Hawaii with the conveniences of a modern Maui. A commercial kitchen, restrooms as well as changing rooms make hosting your wedding and reception an all-inclusive event with no need to move your wedding party from one location to another. Soft green lawns and swaying trees are inviting to your guests along with warm ocean breezes.

Wanting a Maui wedding venue with a more intimate feel? Enjoy beautiful island views from atop a hillside or set back with all the amenities of a larger venue but with a more personal feel. Serving staff waiting on your every need and your guests being entertained all night long. You won’t miss out on those romantic, sunset beach pictures either because beautiful beaches are within minutes.

Remarkable Maui sunsets combine to make your wedding day or night a truly memorable occasion. Whether your ceremony is held under the glowing Hawaiian sun or the twinkling tropical stars, Maui is an excellent choice for your wedding event.

Affordable destination wedding on Maui

There is such a concept as an “affordable destination wedding” and Maui can be exactly what you are hoping for. Depending on the number of guests you invite and the decor you dream of and the time of year, Maui can be the affordable destination for any budget.

Things to do in Maui 2016The Hawaiian Islands are each very unique. Understanding the differences between them might help you select which island is best for your affordable destination wedding. Lanai and Molokai are the smaller islands in the chain and are great for day trips while staying on one of the other, larger islands.

Oahu, being the most populated, draws tourists that seek lively night life, densely populated shopping malls and of course, Waikiki! This also means more cars, more traffic, more congestion.

Kauai is the destination for hikers, explorers and tourists needing to “get away from it all” for a bit. Kauai offers dense jungles and lush rainforests. This is a perfect location for the short island hop off of Maui.

The Big Island Hawaii is the only island with an active volcano and offers lots of miles of expansive black lava fields and course-textured beaches.

Then there is Maui. Maui no ka oi.

Maui offers miles of sandy beaches and ocean side estates and condos – the most perfect island for an affordable destination wedding. With this abundance of beautiful nature comes options for many things to do and adventures to be had. Maui was voted the #1 island in the world by TripAdviser for 2016.  Spend your days diving, snorkeling, hiking under waterfalls, para-sailing, shopping or exploring the amazing restaurants. Along with all these opportunities for adventure, Maui also offers the most affordable destination weddings out of all the Hawaiian islands.
