Maui’s Two Best Luxury Wedding Venues

Andaz Maui: 3550 Wailea Alanui Dr, Wailea, HI

The second largest of the Hawaiian Islands, Maui is home to two of my favorite luxury wedding venues. On the southwestern shore of the island is the first, Andaz Maui. Award winning, locally sourced cuisine, an awe inspiring setting upon Mokapu Beach, all-inclusive package options, and premiere wedding planning and coordination all make this already phenomenal resort a gem of a wedding venue. In addition to the stunning beauty and luxurious amenities of this wedding venue, Andaz Maui also provides couples the opportunity for discounted rooms for their guests.

Montage Kapalua Bay: 1 Bay Dr, Lahaina, HI

Found on Maui’s northwestern shore, Montage Kapalua Bay is a dramatically different wedding venue when compared to the previous two on my list. While also one of the most remarkable and luxurious resorts in Hawaii, Montage Kapalua Bay specializes as an intimate wedding venue. Don’t mistake the smaller guest capacities of their event spaces for a lower caliber experience though, as Montage is still very much the pinnacle of excellence. Oceanfront lawns with views of the neighboring islands Molokai and Lanai offer a serene setting to share your vows in paradise. Following your ceremony, spend the evening with your loved ones at the historic Cliff House for an unforgettable reception experience. If you’re looking for a space with a smaller scale, but equally luxurious offerings when compared to other venues throughout the islands, Montage Kapalua Bay is the venue for you.
