YOUR STILL THE ONE!


Mandie & Daryl celebrated their 20 year wedding anniversary with a beautiful vow renewal at Kapalua Bay beach on Maui.  Pastor Kimo officiated the touching ceremony, as the two exchanged vows, rings, leis and lots of kisses! 

Kapalua Bay beach is my favorite beach on the West side of Maui for wedding & vow renewal ceremonies because of all the wonderful photography options.  A stunning beach, cliffs, palm trees and lava rocks give a lot of diversity to the background.  I just love Mandie & Daryl’s stunning photos captured by the talented photographers from White Lotus!

DREAMS DO COME TRUE!

Kelly and Dustin dreamed of an intimate destination wedding on Maui and fell in love with the Olowalu Plantation House.  The Olowalu Plantation House offers so many spectacular back drops for photos, from an ocean view, a coconut grove and lush tropical landscape.  It’s hard not to be impressed with all of the plantation houses charm & beauty!

When Maui was closed to travel at the end of March 2020, no one had any idea for how long or what the new travel restrictions would be.  We were told that in August Hawaii would open to travelers again with pre-testing, but that was quickly reversed.  It was quite the emotional roller coaster ride for anyone planning a destination wedding.  Do we wait and see if the island opens?  Do we move our date?  What will the travel restrictions be?!  So much uncertainty!!! 

As the October wedding date quickly approached and still there was no official word or solid reopening plan, we began to lose hope.  Discussions were had about postponing or canceling the long dreamed of Maui wedding.  Whispers of a big announcement started circulating and I urged the couple to give it just a few more days before making their final choice.   Finally a decision was made that the official opening date of Hawaii would be October 15, 2020 with pre-travel testing! 

Kelly & Dustin flew to Maui on the first day of the re-opening and although there were long lines and some kinks to work out in the travel plan, they made it to Hawaii with a small group of their family and friends. 

The wedding day was beautiful, all of the couples careful planning & eye to details came together perfectly.  Stunning florals from Maui Palm Tree Floral on Gold risers accented the amazing view,  Dimitri and Sandra  photography captured the day to perfection, allowing us to feel the feel the love of this special couple and incredible day! 

Thank you Kelly & Dustin for choosing A Perfect Paradise Wedding to be apart of your special day!!! It was amazing and a day I will never forget!

Aloha & Beauty at The Olowalu Plantation House

I have to admit, I’ve had a bit of writers block with all that is going on in the world!  I realized I needed a really fun wedding to reflect back on to help get me out of my slump!  Calie & Marc’s August wedding immediately came to mind, our adorable Canadian & Australian couple emanated love & fun! 

Calie & Marc chose Maui as the perfect destination location for their friends & family to gather from all around the world to celebrate their union and they fell in love with the Olowalu Plantation House for all of its natural beauty!

It was very important to Calie & Marc that the wedding & reception be special and most importantly a fun celebration for all!  They incorporated fun & personal touches into every element of their special day, from a silly prop guest book station, wedding vows, wedding décor  and my favorite their choreographed   first dance!    Paired with a delicious menu from Café O’ Lei and cocktails flowing from Maui Bars R Us and you’ve got the recipe for an amazing & memorable event! 

The radiating love & gratitude for all that were there to witness their special day was felt in the never ending smiles from our bride & groom!  We feel so honored to have been a part of Calie & Marc’s dream wedding and wish them an incredible journey as husband & wife!

Intimate wedding at Merriman’s Kapalua

default

Perla & Fernando were looking for an affordable wedding venue that offered an ocean view on the West side of Maui and fell in love with Merriman’s.  The perfect location for groups 50 & under, Merriman’s grassy lawn is located on the cliff’s edge over looking Molokai and beautiful Kapalua Bay. 

After an intimate ceremony with the couples closest family & friends, which included their son in a lei ceremony and exchanging of vows, Perla & Fern enjoyed some time getting  incredible bridal portraits.  We love that there are so many different backdrops available in one location!  Located just below the ceremony venue is a secluded lava rock jetta that offers dramatic views of Molokai in the distance.  Kapalua Bay beach offers a beautiful sunset all year long and is one of our favorite spots on the West side of Maui!

Mahalo Perla & Fern for choosing A Perfect Paradise Wedding to be a part of your special day!
