Dana & Chase’s wedding day captured all the beauty and romance that makes Maui such a dream destination for couples.
The two exchanged vows on the Wedding Knoll, a stunning elevated spot overlooking the ocean. With the sound of the waves in the distance and a gentle island breeze, the ceremony felt intimate and timeless. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Dana and Chase shared heartfelt vows against the breathtaking backdrop of the Maui coastline.
Afterward, guests made their way up to the lower lawn for the reception to enjoy cocktail hour. The space was beautifully styled with tropical accents and elegant details that reflected the couple’s personal style. As the sun set over the Pacific, the celebration continued under a canopy of twinkling lights, with laughter, dancing, and joy filling the night.

When Airelle and Tyler envisioned their dream Maui destination wedding, they imagined the sound of waves in the background, golden light from a breathtaking sunset, and a celebration filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Sugar Beach Events in Maui was the perfect venue to bring that vision to life.
The Venue: Sugar Beach Events, Maui
Nestled along the south shore of Maui, Sugar Beach Events is one of the island’s premier Maui wedding venues — offering a seamless blend of oceanfront beauty and elegant indoor reception space. With panoramic views of the Pacific, couples can exchange vows just steps from the shoreline, then celebrate in style. For Airelle and Tyler, it was everything they hoped for: romantic, private, and filled with Maui magic.
The Ceremony
Their Maui wedding ceremony took place with the ocean as the backdrop, framed by a beautifully designed arch accented with fresh tropical florals created by Kihei/Wailea Flowers by Cora. Guests gathered on the lawn, enjoying the warm Maui breeze as Airelle made her way down the aisle. The moment they said “I do” under the soft glow of the afternoon sun was nothing short of picture-perfect.
The Reception
Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed a beautiful dinner outdoors under the Maui sky. Tables were styled with thoughtful décor that reflected Airelle and Tyler’s personalities — a balance of modern sophistication and island charm. With the sound of the ocean just steps away and the glow of candlelight and string lights, the evening had an intimate, romantic feel. As the night went on, the celebration moved inside to Sugar Beach’s elegant ballroom, where the dance floor came alive. Thanks to Maui DJ Services, friends and family filled the room with laughter, joy, and plenty of dancing — the perfect way to end an unforgettable

Maui Wedding Coordinator: A Perfect Paradise Wedding
Over the years, we’ve had the joy of helping couples create beautiful, romantic, and truly unforgettable celebrations. One of the best parts of being a wedding planner on Maui is meeting couples from all around the world and bringing their unique vision to life. No two weddings are ever the same—that’s what keeps the magic fresh and exciting!
To inspire your own big day, I’ve gathered a list of my 10 favorite wedding details that always make an event stand out and leave guests talking long after the celebration is over.
1. Photo Booths
Photo booths never go out of style! Whether you choose an old-school booth, a luxury setup, or a modern selfie station, they’re guaranteed entertainment. Plus, your guests get to take home a keepsake with your names and wedding date printed right on the strip. Instant memories!
2. The Aloha or Love Marquee
Big, bold marquee letters instantly set the vibe and make the perfect statement backdrop. Whether it’s ALOHA, LOVE, or your initials, these glowing letters double as décor and photo ops your guests will be lining up for.
3. Shaved Ice Station
Cake is sweet, but nothing beats the refreshment of shaved ice after dancing the night away. We love working with a local company that serves shaved ice from the cutest old-fashioned bike cart—adorable in photos and made with all-natural ingredients. It’s as delicious as it is Instagram-worthy.
4. Champagne Tower
Few moments feel as glamorous as a champagne tower. Guests gather around as the couple pours that first sparkling cascade into the top flute, and suddenly everyone is cheering. It’s elegant, celebratory, and makes for unforgettable photos.
5. Fire Knife Dancer
Talk about a “wow” factor! Imagine surprising your guests with a private fire knife performance or a full Hawaiian luau show. From hula dancers at cocktail hour to fiery entertainment to kick off the evening, it’s a cultural experience your guests will never forget.
6. Coconut Station
A fresh, chilled coconut on a warm Maui afternoon? Yes, please! Catered coconuts are not only refreshing but also bring the tropical vibes to life. The setup is absolutely adorable, and it’s a great way for guests to cool down after the ceremony while getting the cutest cocktail-hour photos.
7. Neon Signs
There’s just something about neon that instantly makes a space feel modern, playful, and a little bit edgy. At weddings, neon signs aren’t just décor—they’re an experience. Whether it’s your new last name glowing in script, a favorite phrase like “Better Together”, or a custom symbol from your love story, neon signs create a glowing focal point. They light up the dance floor, point the way to the bar, and give guests the ultimate photo backdrop.
8. Flower Petal Toss
There’s something so timeless and joyful about a flower petal toss. Whether it’s right after the ceremony as you walk back down the aisle or staged later for dreamy photos, it adds a burst of color and movement that looks stunning on camera. Plus, guests love being part of the moment!
9. Late-Night Snack or Sweets Station
When the dance floor is still packed at the end of the night, nothing makes guests happier than a surprise late-night bite. Think sliders, fries, cookies, or even a donut wall—the options are endless! A snack station keeps the energy up and sends everyone home smiling (and full).
10. Bridal Send-Off
The end of the night deserves just as much magic as the beginning. A thoughtful send-off gives your wedding a true finale instead of an abrupt ending. Whether it’s bubbles, sparklers, LED wands, or even balloons, it creates that perfect last photo-op and a memorable farewell for the newlyweds.
I hope this list sparks some ideas for your own celebration! If you’d like help bringing these details (and so much more) to life, I’d love to chat.
