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. ![A couple in flower leis walk barefoot along the shoreline on a quiet Maui beach](https://www.ancienthawaiianweddings.com/images/hero-beach.webp?v=36) ### Beach Weddings Bare feet in warm sand and the sound of the sea as your witness on a secluded Maui beach Explore beaches https://www.ancienthawaiianweddings.com/en/maui-beach-weddings ![A green lawn ceremony setup with flower circle overlooking the ocean, Maui](https://www.ancienthawaiianweddings.com/images/hero-garden.webp?v=36) ### Garden Weddings Secluded garden estates with ocean views, offering room to celebrate with the people who matter most Explore gardens https://www.ancienthawaiianweddings.com/en/maui-garden-weddings ![The historic stone Keawalaʻi Congregational Church with its shingle steeple, palms and the ocean on Maui](https://www.ancienthawaiianweddings.com/images/venue-church.webp?v=36) ### Chapel Weddings Historic oceanfront churches, including Keawalaʻi, built in 1832.
