Not every wedding needs a hundred guests.
Sometimes the most meaningful wedding is the one shared with the people who matter most.
Imagine standing beside the ocean with your closest family and friends gathered around you. The sound of the waves. The warm Maui breeze. The person you love reaching for your hand.
No enormous guest list.
No crowded ballroom.
No trying to make time for hundreds of people.
Just an intimate celebration in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Welcome to small and intimate Maui weddings.
A small wedding gives you something that can be difficult to find at a large celebration:
time.
Time to talk with your family.
Time to laugh with your friends.
Time to enjoy your ceremony.
Time to take photographs together.
And time to actually experience your wedding day instead of spending it rushing from one event to the next.
That’s one of the reasons intimate destination weddings have become such a wonderful option for couples who want their Maui wedding to feel personal rather than overwhelming.
Maybe your guest list is your parents, siblings and closest friends.
Maybe it’s only a handful of people who have been part of your lives for years.
Or perhaps it’s simply the two of you.
There isn’t one definition of an intimate wedding.
You decide who belongs in the circle.
Our Maui wedding packages give you a simple starting point, while allowing you to create an experience around the people and moments that matter most.

With fewer guests, you can actually spend meaningful time with everyone who came to celebrate with you.
Your wedding becomes less about moving a crowd from one event to another and more about sharing the day together.
A smaller wedding can give you more freedom to step away with your photographer for romantic portraits.
Walk along the beach.
Laugh together.
Take photographs with your parents.
Capture the little moments.
And enjoy being newly married.
Large weddings can involve an enormous number of moving pieces.
A smaller Maui wedding can be much easier to coordinate, particularly when you’re planning a destination wedding from off-island.
A thoughtfully designed wedding package can bring important services together and simplify the planning process.
Your wedding doesn’t have to follow a traditional formula.
You can create a day that reflects your relationship, your family and the way you actually want to celebrate.
For many couples, the dream is simple:
The Pacific Ocean behind you. Your closest people beside you. Maui all around you.
Beach ceremonies can create an incredibly intimate atmosphere, but public shoreline weddings in Hawaii have specific permit requirements and restrictions. For example, permitted state shoreline ceremonies are subject to a 30-person maximum that includes the couple and wedding professionals, along with other location and equipment restrictions.

That’s why choosing the right location is an important part of planning your intimate Maui wedding.
We’ll help you understand the options available for your celebration and the requirements associated with your chosen location.
Maui offers many different settings for a small wedding.
Elegant South Maui scenery, beautiful ocean views and a relaxed resort atmosphere.
A more casual island setting with beautiful coastal scenery and memorable sunsets.
A spectacular West Maui coastline with beautiful ocean views.
Dramatic scenery, tropical landscapes and a romantic coastal atmosphere.
A wonderful choice for couples looking for tropical scenery, ocean views and unforgettable sunsets.
Your ideal location depends on your guest count, ceremony plans, time of day and the type of experience you want.
When you have fewer guests, there’s more opportunity to capture the people who mean the most to you.
Your parents watching the ceremony.
Your closest friends laughing together.
The moment you exchange rings.
Your first photographs as husband and wife.
And those quiet portraits where it’s finally just the two of you.
Professional photography turns those fleeting moments into memories you can return to for decades.
For couples traveling to Hawaii, a small wedding can also turn your wedding into an entire Maui experience.
Instead of spending the day inside a traditional venue, you can build your celebration around the island.
Have your ceremony near the ocean.
Take photographs along the coast.
Enjoy dinner with your closest people.
Watch the sunset together.
And spend the rest of your trip celebrating the beginning of your marriage.
Your wedding becomes part of your Hawaiian adventure.
In fact, sometimes the opposite is true.
When you remove the pressure to create an enormous event, you have more freedom to make the day meaningful.
You can spend more time with your parents.
You can hear every toast.
You can laugh with every guest.
You can take photographs without rushing.
You can actually remember your wedding day.
And isn’t that what you want?
Your wedding guest list doesn’t have to be a number.
It’s a collection of people.
The people who helped you become who you are.
The people who have supported your relationship.
The people who will still be there long after the flowers are gone and the music has stopped.
Bring them to Maui.
Give them a beautiful place to celebrate with you.
And create memories you’ll all carry home.
Whether you’re planning a small beach wedding, an intimate destination ceremony or an elopement with just the two of you, Maui gives you an extraordinary place to begin your marriage.
Choose your package.
Choose your location.
Invite the people who matter most.
And let the island do what Maui does best — make beautiful memories feel effortless.
