Maui Wedding

Have you been dreaming of a Maui wedding, but need a few reasons with which to convince your intended? If so, here are a few that just might do the trick. Read on. …

The Aloha Spirit

A Maui wedding just about guarantees the introduction of the “aloha spirit” into your nuptials. What is the “aloha spirit”? Well, that is the spirit of goodwill that is an actual a Hawaiian law, voted into its legislature in 1986.

More than just a greeting or farewell, “aloha” also means regard, affection, warmth, and caring extended with no recompense expected. It is the knowledge and expression of the need we have for one another in order to live together in harmony. It is hearing the unsaid, seeing the unseen, and knowing the unknowable. Now wouldn’t it be wonderful to get married under a spirit of such wisdom?

Relaxing in Paradise

Another good reason to convince your betrothed of having a Maui wedding is the relaxation you’ll both experience before, during, and after the ceremony. Almost all of the quality venues available for Hawaiian weddings offer such things as deluxe spa services to invigorate and revive you, and Maui’s more than 120 miles of coastline offers breathtaking drives and walks along stunningly romantic beaches.

If you’re up to a few water activities, there’s swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, whale watching, and surfing – all only moments from just about anywhere you decide to stay. You’ll also enjoy the exotically tropical bamboo forests and gorgeous natural waterfalls encountered during your excursions, which you might want to visit via mountain bike or horseback.

Visiting the small, unique shops and quaint galleries found within the small towns of the island offers even more ways to spend your time on the island for many tranquil, yet unforgettable hours.

World-Class Cuisine

And if the only food you associate with Hawaii is poi, well, you’re in for a treat! You can celebrate your Maui wedding with a lu’au featuring the traditional Kalua pig or go more low-key, but just as delicious, with the magnificent salmon, mahi-mahi, or ahi served up by some of the world’s most renowned chefs.

For a delightful treat, you might want to try the local candy known as “crackseed” – sweetened, preserved fruit and seeds. There’s also the famously rich and delicious Kona coffee to enjoy in the mornings and/or after every meal.

A Maui wedding is more than just a trip to the Hawaiian islands – it’s an experience of a lifetime. The warm, laid-back hospitality of the people and their native culture permeates nearly every aspect of life in this Pacific paradise, and you can’t help but enjoy yourself because of it.

The relaxation, the ocean, activities, the tropical beauty, the food – it’s all part of the package when you go to Hawaii to get married (or for any reason, really!). So as you are “selling” your idea of a dream getaway for your nuptials, don’t forget the “spirit of aloha.” When you are filled with this, your intended won’t be able to resist!
