How to elope in Maui
There’s no question that Maui is a magical place. From the Road to Hana to sunrise hikes at Haleakalā, there’s no lack of amazing places to elope in Maui. However, there’s more than just choosing a ceremony location for the books! Here are our additional tips on how to have an amazing elopement in Maui.
Finding the right Maui vendors
Finding the right wedding professionals for your Maui elopement is just as important as finding the right venue or location. Your team should feel like your batch of best friends for your big day! From your officiant to photographer, hair & makeup artist to your videographer, all of your vendors should be focused on the same goal: ensuring your big day is tailored to ensuring your love at epicenter! In addition to ensuring these professionals match your style, it’s important to feel at ease and comfortable with your team. Our trick here is if you can have a cup of coffee with your team and enjoy it, then you’ll likely feel comfortable with them as your aid in creating one of the most important moments of your life. Another tip is to book a package as opposed to individual vendors, as it’s a bit more cost-conscious to book a Maui elopement package instead of one-off services.

Making Your Maui elopement legal
The process of getting your marriage license is much different than on the mainland. Since there isn’t a central city hall or government building you can visit, the marriage license agent – representatives of the District of Health – meet you at a designated place of their choosing. Because of this, it can be a bit trickier to get an appointment. This is a great thing to arrange prior to arriving on the islands. When you meet with your agent, you’ll need a form of identification – official passport, Driver’s license or military ID – as well as the name of your wedding officiant. If either of you have previously been married, you will need an official copy of your divorce decree. When you book with us, we’ll send you a guide that walks you through this whole process and can definitely make recommendations of agents closest to you. We got you!
