The Molokini Lookout, a stunning Maui wedding venue!

The Molokini Lookout is situated above the 18th hole on the Wailea Gold Golf course, offering a stunning view of the Pacific ocean and the neighboring Islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe.

Kelsey & Sheldon wanted something with incredible views & that insured total privacy on their special day. They fell in love with this beautiful, private location through photos on our web site and we began planning their intimate destination wedding!

Adorned with a simple bamboo arch & scrim, rolling manicured greens & a breathtaking views Kelsey & Sheldon said their “I do’s”.  During a hear felt ceremony by Rev. Alapaki, the couple & the guests were moved through laughter, tears of joy, & lots of kissing!  The peaceful setting was made even more perfect by the talented Charles Nahale on guitar.

Nicole Sanchez from Behinds the Lens Maui did an incredible job of capturing the beautiful day!  Nicole & her assistant, Tyler, were able to get some really cool shots with this fun group.  After the family & group photos, the couple went with Behind the Lens Maui to our favorite beach for sunset bridal portraits and were blessed with a beautiful Hawaiian sunset!

Top 5 South, Maui beaches for Weddings!

#1 Po’olenalena Beach also known as Chang’s Beach:

Offers spectacular views of the islands of Molokini and Kahoolawe, this beautiful, long sandy beach is perfect for both morning & sunset weddings! There is a large parking lot which works great for larger groups. There are also Keawea Tree’s and Lava rocks, which are beautiful for getting diversity in your wedding photos!

#2 The Makena Cove, also known as Secret Beach:

 A beautiful, but small sandy beach, dramatically outlined with lava rock and palm trees, It really is a magical spot ! We love Makena cove, but do only recommend it to our eloping couples or very small wedding parties!

 

#3 White Rock Beach, also known as Palauea

Another beautiful, lesser known beach with incredible views & sunsets all year long! There is also a small Kiawe forest that photographs beautifully!

 

#4 Wailea Beach:

 located between the Grand Wailea and the Four Seasons Resort, you can have the ceremony on a large grassy knoll overlooking the ocean and then continue on to the sandy beach for your romantic sunset photos!

#5 North Malu Aka:

 Located on the North side of Makena Resort, is a beautiful less populated beach with both lava rocks, Hawaiian flowers and greenery for photos! There is a large parking area with a bathroom just a short walk from the beach.

When planning a beach wedding it is important for my clients and their guests to know that all beaches in Hawaii are public.  The required beach permit doesn’t mean that we are being “reserved” a spot, we are not allowed to ask people to move and must be courteous to other beach activity.  Most people are very respectful and once they realize we are getting ready for a wedding they try to stay out of our way.   We have been planning weddings on Maui for over 16 years and have a few tricks up our sleeve for getting the best spot on the beach for your special day!   Give us a call today and we would be happy to answer any questions you may have or visit our web site at www.aperfectparadisewedding.com to view our beach wedding packages!

The beautiful Kukahiko estate in Makena, the perfect venue for your Maui wedding!

Devan & Brandon fell in love with the spectacular view & privacy of the Kukahiko estate, for their Maui wedding ceremony!  They wanted to be on the Ocean, but not on a public beach.  It was a important that they  were able to have a bamboo arch and seating for their guests, then to continue the reception at a nearby restaurant.

I recommended our Tropical Bliss Packages which includes 2 hours use of the ocean front lawn and then to have their reception at Gannon’s lower lawn.  The lower lawn sits below the main restaurant & provides a lot of privacy for an intimate reception.  Gannon’s does allow for us to have DJ’s, dance floors & personalized lighting.  It is a wonderful alternative to our wedding couples that don’t want o incur the cost of renting a private venue for a ½ day, rental, staffing and catering fees.

Close Family & friends gathered as Devan’s fathered officiated the heartfelt ceremony, as Kaua from Kaua photography did an incredible job of capturing their love story!

Thank you Devan & Brandon for choosing A Perfect Paradise Wedding to be a part of your special day!  It was a pleasure working with you!
