E komo mai · welcome
Ancient Hawaiian Weddings specializes in traditional Hawaiian beach weddings and elopements, garden ceremonies and vow renewals, all rooted in Hawaiian culture. From oceanfront elopements to full celebrations at top resorts and private gardens across the island, all you have to do is choose.
We bring Hawaiian culture into each and every ceremony. Hawaiian weddings were never just the union of two people; they were a sacred joining of two families, often held outdoors, near the ocean or a waterfall, where nature is considered deeply spiritual.
Our packages include flowers, photography and beauty services, along with custom add-ons, and we welcome all couples. With over three decades of local expertise, we know Maui's best venues, vendors and legal requirements.
Choose your island ceremony site that feels like you
Picture your vows unfolding on a hidden south-shore beach, beneath the shade of a palm-lined garden estate, within the sacred walls of a church dating back to 1832, or somewhere only Maui could offer, exchanging 'I do' from a paddleboard or gliding across the water in an outrigger canoe.

We cannot recommend Arabelle enough! We hired her as the day of coordinator for our daughter’s destination wedding in Maui, and from the start, she made us feel completely at ease and took care of every detail. We almost didn’t hire a coordinator due to our tight budget, but looking back, it was the best decision we made. Arabelle went…

Maui is my home
