When planning a destination wedding, one of the first decisions couples face is: Do we keep it small and intimate, or invite everyone to celebrate on the beach? Maui offers the perfect setting for both. Let’s explore the differences between an elopement and a big wedding, so you can choose what feels right.
Elopements – Intimate and Romantic
Eloping in Maui means fewer logistics, lower costs, and more focus on the two of you. Imagine exchanging vows barefoot on the sand at sunrise, with just the sound of the waves and a photographer capturing your love story. Elopements allow you to keep things stress-free and deeply personal.
Larger Weddings – Share the Joy
On the other hand, hosting a big beach wedding on Maui lets you bring your family and friends along for the adventure. From live Hawaiian music to tropical floral arches, bigger weddings can be full-scale celebrations with all the festive details.
Pros of Elopements
- Budget-friendly
- Easier to plan
- Highly intimate & romantic
Pros of Larger Weddings
- Shared memories with loved ones
- More festive atmosphere
- Opportunity for customized setups
Whether you choose to run away together or celebrate with everyone you love, Maui provides the perfect canvas. Both options result in breathtaking moments and photos you’ll cherish.
