Maui Weddings
Maui weddings — Wailea sunsets + Upcountry estates.
Maui ceremonies cost more than Oahu but couples consistently rate them higher in post-wedding surveys — the sightlines (Molokini, West Maui Mountains, sunset over Lanai) are unmatched. The 2023 Lahaina fires removed several historic venues. Vendors that relocated to Wailea or Upcountry are still working — this directory only lists active ones.
The vibe
The 'destination wedding' default for high-end Mainland couples. Quieter than Oahu, more polished than Big Island.
Best for
- 30-100 guest counts — sweet spot for Wailea + Kapalua resort grounds
- Couples prioritizing sunset photos over guest logistics
- Honeymoon-immediately-after couples (Hana, Road to Hana, upcountry stays)
