Maui named #1 island world-wide

Maui named #1 island world-wide. Expedia made there note-worthy news taken by votes from users. The reasons are numerous.

Maui has the best beaches in the world; miles and miles of white sandy beaches highlighted with swaying palm trees and jutting black lava rocks from our volcano ( I’ll get to that shortly.) A Maui, Hawaii wedding on a secluded beach is the best. Our beaches are clean, not rocky, and you can stroll forever and relax and get exercise too.

The nice part of Maui beaches is that they slope slowly into the water, so you can wade out and not all of a sudden be in deep water. Everyone, even the locals notice how clean Hawaii’s ocean appears. You can see all the way to your feet! This author remembers the last time I went into the Atlantic off of Florida and I could only see a few inches down, hmmm.

Swimming on Maui? You bet! The south and west shores have waves that are minimal and its easy to swim and enjoy. Everyone knows about our world class surfing too. For beginners there are classes to take for all ages and even the most uncoordinated person will get up a a board and come to shore.

The instructors practically guarantee it. Don’t let the idea of snorkeling scare you. It is so easy to learn in calm waters, and the colorful fish and corals you will see will amaze you. Snorkel gear is very inexpensive to rent here.

Maui named #1 island world-wide is no accident.

The gorgeous, gallant and loving whales come by the thousands to the shores off Maui every November – May. ( January-March is the best time to come to see them) Once, when whaling was legal, Hawaii had a sad history of killing whales. That ended decades ago and the whales are returning in greater numbers ever year.

Even the old-timers watch in amazement as the baby breach (become born) and jump out of the water in glee. Just go to U-tube and watch a video of this. You will want to see it personally, and we have many boating and tour companies that have pro guides to take you out and explain the migration and living whales of Maui.

Maui is not just about the ocean and beaches. We have Haleakala. It is our magnificent 10,ooo foot dormant volcano ( not extinct) that rises to the heavens with the most amazing views. Yu can drive yourself up ( Most people rent care here) or take a tour bus to the top and see a volcano lake dried up that looks like the planet Mars.

Words cannot express the beauty and true nature of it all. It is a must-see when you come to Maui. Having a Hawaii wedding is a dream come true with so much to enjoy. 🙂

There is also our waterfalls and bamboo forests to see. Later stories about this magnificent island to get married and honeymoon. Maui – best island word-wide! See our Hawaii wedding locations.

Maui Wedding Video

Having a Maui Wedding Video is becoming more popular for a Maui Wedding destination. Since some family members and friends can’t attend your wedding in Hawaii, having a video of the wedding that can be shared back home is big plus. A professional video of the ceremony with couples “miked” properly so one can hear the vows being said is what everyone wants. The video can be played back at a reception later and of course listened to for years. Many couples pass the video on the to kids as a nice memory.

See a snippet of a Maui Wedding Video here at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6JfJ4Xh3Q At hawaiiwedding.com we offer the best videographers anywhere. They shoot the ceremony and then after the ceremony they do nice out-take shots of the family and friends, and then focus on shooting the couple doing fun romantic “stuff ” on the beach during the sunset. Romance is captured on video for a lifetime.

A Maui Wedding Video is more affordable then people think. The Hawaii Wedding package #4 includes a professional videographer, a pro photographer, an officiate and wedding planner, leis, beach permit, submission of legal documents to the State of Hawaii, all for under $1800.

This is much less than folks pay back home, and of course Maui is the best place to honeymoon so this is a win-win situation. No one has ever contacted us that they did not like their video, and we have done hundreds of videos over the last 20 years in business on Maui.

Wedding couples frequently ask us what is the best colors to wear for a video. Adding in blues, reds, greens to the wear gives a good contrast to the traditional white wedding dress and having a tropical colorful bouquet with flowers from Hawaii really “pops” in the video. If it’s a summer wedding we recommend lightweight clothing as it can be warm.

So, consider adding a memory to last forever. See Maui wedding pricing.

We recommend staying in the southwest part of the island ( The Kihei/Wailea area) as this is more upscale, the beaches are wider and nicer, and you are close to all the restaurants and activities. The Maui airport is just a 25 minute drive. The southwest part of Maui also has the least amount of rain, only 9 inches a year, better beaches, and it is most likely be warm and sunny every day.

Scootering their way into marriage

Scootering their way into marriage, that’s what this actual wedding couple did on Maui. There’s more than one way to say “I do” and this Maui ceremony couple decided to be unique. The event took place in the historic whaling village of Lahaina, Maui. The couple went “casual” Maui-style, enjoying our year-round warm weather.

Mixing romance and a Segway ( green energy scooters) this ride of romance will be a fun long-lasting memory. This couple decided to take a fun picture and and had fun Scootering their way into marriage. Hawaii Wedding was pleased to coordinate their wedding.

Many couples come to Maui for a corporate event, and decide to also get married and honeymoon since the boss paid for the conventions trip. Why not? Maui, voted best island for 19 consecutive years is one the most beautiful places in the world. Couples have forever lasting memories of Maui, and so many come back for their 5th or 25th anniversary and have a vow renewal ceremony with us.

They bring the kids and have group photos taken by a pro after the ceremony. See our view renewal page at Maui vow renewal.

You don’t have to scooter your way into marriage. We have had couples get married on a kayak, ship, in the ocean….. whatever is your dream. Most couples have their Hawaii Wedding on the beach at sunset. This is the most romantic time to do it, and with so many oceanview restaurants right near the beach we use to go to afterwards, it makes the day perfect.

Some couples choose mornings to capture the best lighting for photography. So, whether you are on a Segway corporate event or just on your own, Maui weddings are the best!

Many of the island’s best restaurants are located in this part of the island.

Maui has been voted best island world wide for good reason. There are so many must- see’s. our 10,000 foot volcano is not talked about much but it is awe inspiring to stand on a former Lave lake bed and see forever into the horizon. You can hike around and take it all in. More next time friends .

Maui Wedding Favors SweetCBake Shop, Hilo Hattie and Ben Franklin Crafts at the Queen Kaahumanu Center in Kahului Maui are some of our favorite places to get Maui Wedding Favors. There you can find Maui scented candles, shells, mini hula implements etc. Let you imagination run wild.

Everyone likes candy, well most everyone. What better Maui Wedding Favors than these cool looking cookies from Maui. The Hawaiian shirt cookie looks like something you could wear and keep forever, but those of us who are sweet addicts may have a hard time doing so.

It is traditional in the USA mainland and Hawaii as well to provide a gift or favor to guests. The favors need not be expensive but something unique is far better than the traditional favor. Make is something can talk about, enjoy, and savor. The cookies seem to be everyone’s favs, and they look cool at each place setting which adds a touch of gratitude on behalf of the bride and groom.The kids ( age 3 to age 93) have fun eating them, and are to be treasured.

Maui Wedding Favors

The tradition of giving wedding favors is a very old one. The first wedding favor ever that we know of was known as a bonbonnieret. They were treats full of sugar which symbolizes health and happiness. So your Maui Wedding Favors will continue this tradition (and more so) because they probably taste better than the pure sugar treats from thousands of years ago. Many brides have fun and “google” the term Maui Wedding Favors and can peruse the variety of gifts you can surprise your Hawaii Wedding guests. Make sure it is something you can pick up here on Maui and not have to ship it from home. You will avoid an unnecessary expense this way. Have fun on Maui and Enjoy!
