Sarah grew up on Maui and her fiancé, Vincent’s large group of family & friends were more than willing to travel to Hawaii for a destination wedding!
The couple knew they needed a stunning venue that could host a guest list of 100+ and wow their local and visiting guests a like. Gather on Maui checked all the boxes!
√ Stunning Ceremony venue with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop
√ 1 venue for the ceremony & reception for the guests convenience
√ Affordable
√ Amazing food & service with an easy all-inclusive approach
The day started with Scott Drexler, owner of Photos on Maui, doing prewedding photos of Sarah and her girls in their hotel room, then Vincent and his guys at his room. Sarah and the girls came with their hair & make-up ready to go and slipped into their dresses at the dressing room at the Gold golf course. First look photos of the bride to first her bridesmaids, then her parents was a lovely touch. Vincent presented all his grooms men braided ti leis for the ceremony which made for some great photo ops
After the pronouncement & perfect recessional -complete with a dip & kiss, we went straight into a very large group photo which I always highly recommend, such an amazing memory to look back on! We quickly moved to our shot list getting the important family & friends photos, then they were free to head to the lower lawn for cocktail hour & delicious appetizers from Gather.
Scott took Sara & Vincent down to Po’olenalena beach for some epic beach & sunset shots while we directly everyone to find their seat in the main dining room. The couple returned from the beach and were announced for their first dance as husband & wife!
After an incredible dinner, heart-felt speeches and speed table group photos, the party really got started! Everyone was out on the dance floor having the best time! Gather on Maui is the perfect location for larger groups really wanting that high end reception feel and is one of the very few locations that you can extend the music till 10:45pm for those not ready to call it quits at 9:45pm which is Maui County’s noise curfew. Sara & Vincent had the most amazing group of family & friends, it was very special to be a part of their day and what a fun night!
