Maui gay weddings

Gay weddings on Maui are very special… but let’s admit it – spending a gay vacation on Maui is incredibly special in itself!

Maui gay weddingsMaui offers gay couples the opportunity to be themselves without that feeling of hiding. There are many beaches on Maui where gay couples can stroll along at sunset, hand in hand, and enjoy the romantic ambiance of the sun setting into the Pacific Ocean while snuggling the one you love. Maui is a very gay friendly Hawaiian Island and for that we are grateful.

We get asked a lot, “What are gay places or gay things to do on Maui?” When you Google for gay places in Maui you will typically find a lot of references to Little Beach. Little Beach is a beach accessible by climbing over a lava rock wall from Big Beach. Although nudity is not legal in Hawaii, the seclusion of Little Beach has made that beach the most popular nudist beach on Maui. Because this beach is more accepting of folks from all walks of life, the gay community is also represented and hence it has become known as one of the “gay hangouts on Maui”.

There is also a nightclub in “the Triangle” – a section of Kihei in South Maui that caters to the gay community. It is called Ambrosias and is located across from Kalama Park (not a park you will want to hang out in after the sun sets). This bar brings in gays, lesbians and gay friendly folks and is your stereotypical “gay bar” feel. The bartenders are awesome and they often offer live music of all genres.

We spend almost every day performing weddings or doing photo shoots so obviously that is our passion.  We pride ourselves in providing personalized ceremonies – from the romantic details specific to your relationship to hand-picking the most spectacular beach to fit your needs. We get to know you ahead of time so we know exactly what is important to you.

Maui gay WeddingsWe really want you both to feel comfortable, whether it is just the two of you or 50 of your closest friends and family.

 

maui weddingsWe offer not only intimate gay beach weddings, but also receptions, formal affairs and special additions like dove releases, Native Hawaiian blessings and Hawaiian hula & ukulele and Tahitian dancers & drummers. Our goal is to create a memorable, special, unique wedding day from beginning to end, just for you. We work with gay friendly limo services, massage therapists, florists, stylists and excursion companies to ensure you feel comfortable throughout your entire experience with us here at Aloha Maui Dream Weddings.

Maui Gay WeddingsIf you’re visiting Maui with your loved one and a wedding is not on the schedule, I recommend booking a photo shoot with Penny Palmer Photography. This is an opportunity to spend quality time together and have it captured into beautiful art.

Maui Gay WeddingsIt can be formal or informal. The opportunity to wrap your arms around your beloved, kiss and whisper sweet nothings… with Family capturing those memories is remarkable!  We know the most secluded areas and help to bring out the fun or the romantic in each of you.

One of our favorite excursions on the island of Maui is to take a morning boating trip with Seafire Charters. We do a lot of private excursions with them for our clients and their public boating adventures are equally amazing. Snorkel out at Molokini, explore Turtle Town and swim with the turtles, feed the sparrows and ask all your whale questions. Enjoy snack and drinks at no extra charge. Their excursion is one of the best whale watching experiences on Maui with their knowledgeable and energetic crew!

However we can help, please let us know. We are here to share our years of experience with each of you. We have founded a lesbian meetup group for any lesbians living or visiting Maui.  We welcome you to come enjoy the magic of being gay in Maui!

Aloha!

“Penny Palmer was AMAZING … She captured every moment at our villa we rented and at DT Flemings beach. I will always remember her telling me just before I walked down the aisle/sandy beach – “What you wrote in your 5 page wedding agenda, toss it out of your mind, whats done is done, everyone is here and its your day! Are you ready to get married?!” And that was the last wedding bridezilla moment! I still laugh about it. We received our sneak peak photo of the entire bridal party on the beach jumping … It was incredible!!! Two takes that’s all it took Penny!!! I knew the other photos of our get ready photos etc would be great… And they were beautiful and we couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Penny to anyone getting Maui’d 🙂 Mahalo!!!  C& E”

“Darci Palmer surpassed our expectations as a Wedding Planner and Minister from the first time we reached out to her! She was incredibly responsive to all our questions and requests. Darci allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation by taking care of every detail of our ceremony. She wanted to make OUR day about US, and she did! Darci managed to capture our personalities, the spiritual Hawaiian traditions, and the natural beauty of The Secret Beach in a ceremony that was simply inspired. Penny Palmer captured both the beauty of our beach paradise and the emotion of our wedding day! She was professional, yet fun and flexible, allowing us to be ourselves, including the tears and the laughter. We were so pleased with Penny’s creative vision. Penny truly preserved our memorable day with her photographic magic. The team of Palmer & Palmer made our wedding day a dream come true! We would highly recommend them for your special day!”

There are many requests to use Secret Cove (aka Makena Cove) for your gay Maui weddings. We do not tell you which beach to have your ceremony on. There is not a particular beach per package. We talk with you about what you envision for your ceremony, then make suggestions so that you can decide which beach feels right for you. Some couples want more privacy, others need easy access for mobility issues. We accommodate all your needs – both in South Maui as well as West Maui. Want to get married near Kaanapali? We have suggestions for that as well! Your gay wedding in Maui should be all that you dreamed it to be!
