Maui Wedding Packages: Brides Most Frequently Asked Questions - Part 2 of 2

This is a continuation of my previous post about questions brides often ask about Maui wedding packages.

6. Q: What size of Wedding do you recommend for a beach wedding?

A:  We recommend the absolute maximum guests for a beach wedding is 50. Due to state laws and regulations you are not allowed to have chairs set up on the beach for your wedding. Without chairs it makes it extremely difficult for a group of guests over 50 to hear and see your wedding, making for an unpleasant experience.

7. Q: What's the Weather like in Maui? 

A: First of all don't fret when looking at the weather forecast and don't look at the forecast for Oahu, because Oahu gets much more rain than Maui. Weather can be very different depending on what part of the island you are on! One side can be pouring and the other side can look like the best day of summer you can picture in your mind. When you look at Maui's forecast you will most likely see clouds, but there are almost always clouds in the sky in Maui, but most of them are just passing through. 

Just plan on having your wedding on the West side of the island (Ka'anapali & Lahaina side) or the South side of the island (Kihei & Wailea side) as these areas very rarely get rain.

8. Q: Can I have a 'mid day' or 'afternoon' wedding start time?

A: 'ALL' of the photos on our website  and Karma Hill's website are taken in the morning or at sunset, because these are the optimal times for lighting. The intense sun can make it very difficult to get great shots as it creates tons of shadows. We can definitely accommodate a mid-day or afternoon shoot, but it does make for really sweaty people and decreased photo quality.

9. Q: Can I just set up an appointment with a wedding licensing agent when I get on island?

A: Wedding agents are by appointment only and don't have a set state office. It is extremely important to call and make an appointment before you arrive on island to ensure you have a meeting with the agent to get your marriage license. We will provide you with a list of licensing agents you can call once a booking payment is received and you are formally booked.
