Elijah & Halee choose the beautiful, Ocean front Kukahiko estate in Makena for their intimate ceremony & romantic reception to celebrate with their closest family & friends. The Kukahiko estate is one of our favorite venues on Maui and perfect for groups of 40 and under looking for a stunning & private location.
The couple rented a roadster and a first look was planned with photographer, Juan, from www.limnedlight.com in Makena along the ocean. I love the look on Elijah’s face when he glimpsed his beautiful bride to be for the first time! The couple was able to share a few minutes of alone time before driving together to the Kukahiko estate to freshen up prior to the wedding ceremony.
Pastor Valentine Rosette performed a wonderful ceremony, the sound of the waves crashing behind the couple as they recited their personalized wedding vows, exchanged rings and kisses. The couple exited to a rose petal toss and were soon joined by their family & friends to congratulate them!
The guests enjoyed appetizers from Café O’ Lei and cocktails from Aloha Bars while the couple finished their bridal portraits out on the lava rock point. At sunset the couple returned and did cake cutting & first dance with the twinkle lit trees as their back drop followed by a romantic dinner under the stars.
At the end of the evening, the newlyweds were sent off biodegradable, confetti canisters as made their way to the awaiting roadster and their honeymoon!
Mahalo to our sweet couple, we loved being a part of their special day! If your looking for a romantic location for your Maui wedding & reception, let us know we have venues for every group size and budget!
