Susan Sent on 08/09/2018Merry Maui Weddings did a great job with our small intimate wedding. Ayesha was very accommodating especially since it was planned in two days. She was able to get a wonderful photographer and provided beautiful leis for both of us. The photographer, Desiree, did a fantastic job with our photos and was accommodating with our props. Ayesha did a great job with our ceremony which was sweet and intimate. The beach she chose was quiet and beautiful. We would recommend Merry Maui Weddings.

Linda Sent on 12/21/2017My husband and I went to Maui to renew our 25th wedding anniversary vows after searching the internet we came across Merry Maui Weddings.Im so happy we didn't have to look any further.Ayesha handled everything right down to the haku I ordered in remembrance of my mother in law.It was beautiful.Ayesha and her photographer Cathy made our day extra special and a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives.They returned emails immediately and kept me up to date as to what was going on and I may also say they were very affordable and went way beyond my expectations.I'm so glad we chose them so I HIGHLY recommend if you are looking to get married or renew your vows look no further you will not be disappointed and look into Merry Maui Weddings.Cathy who was our photographer did a wonderful job on the photos .We will look back on these wonderful memories and cherish them forever.Thank You Ayesha and Cathy for going above and beyond and making our 25th extra special Aloha and Merry Christmas

User1557449 Sent on 03/13/2014We used Merry Maui Weddings for the videography at our brief ceremony. Ayesha was very responsive and helpful in her e-mail and phone communications prior to our wedding date, and very flexible (we had planned an outdoor ceremony and changed the venue and timing several times during the week just before the wedding!). She and her colleague arrived at our venue early in order to set up their equipment, and helped to ensure that the camera angles were good and that we and our minister were "photogenic". She gave us the completed raw-footage video disc of the ceremony as soon as we were finished, and it turned out very well! It was exactly what we wanted.... A true-to-life recording of our wedding! Pricing was extremely reasonable. -

Kelly Sent on 01/03/2008We are from Indiana and wanted to get married in Maui, It would have been very hard to plan a wedding a million miles away without the putting our full trust in them. We are glad we did. The wedding was beautiful. I wanted a traditional "hawiian minister" and that is exactly what i got. the photos were amazing. the wedding was at sunset and vincent knew exactly what to do to get the pictures just right. I couldnt have asked for anything better. They were so nice and so easy to work with. The 5 hr time difference didnt even become and issure while planning either. they suggested a wonderful restaurant to go to after as well as the condo we stayed in. they were right on with everything. I cant stress enough how wonderful they are. -
User1312452 Sent on 09/03/2013We very much enjoyed our experience with Merry Maui weddings. We worked closely with Ayesha for our planning and the ceremony was perfect. Ayesha was quick with responding to emails and everything was handled very professionally. We changed the venue for our ceremony 2 days before and they were very flexible. We have not yet received our photos but the photographer showed us some as she took them and they were outstanding! We received our marriage license within three weeks. I would highly recommend merry Maui weddings to anyone looking for a wedding planner on the island. Great value and easy to work with!

User1175026 Sent on 05/26/2013We were just recently married in Maui and had booked our date with Merry Maui Weddings about a year in advance. Ayesha provided a lovely ceremony and the flowers, cake, etc, were everything we wanted. We had a wonderful day, perfect weather, and a great location.
I just recently received my photos and am terribly disappointed. When I chose a wedding planner photography was one of the most important things to us. We only had a few family members come to the wedding so we relied on beautiful photos to capture our wonderful wedding. The website advertised (and still does) a photographer that they do not work with any longer. We were told about a month before the wedding that another professional photographer would be at our wedding. I wasn't too worried because I figured "Who could screw up pictures of a beautiful sunset wedding in Hawaii", well, it happened. We ended up with several hundred pictures and I would not consider framing a single one. The lighting was off, the angles were bad,she included several photos with our eyes closed and they look very unprofessional. My friend took much better photos on her camera phone. I am still shocked at how bad these pictures turned out, and instead of looking at them and being reminded of what a wonderful, once in a lifetime day we had, I nearly burst into tears when I look at them. I am so embarrassed I don't want to even show them to my friends and family! It is pretty obvious that they did not provide professional photography.
It is unfortunate that everything else with the wedding went well, and the pictures ruined the positive things I have to say about Merry Maui Weddings. I think if you want to use them, I would recommend not using their photographer, you would be better off having your friends and family take photos. I am devastated that our special day was no captured well, and there is nothing that can be done about it. -
User869092 Sent on 07/18/2012I CANNOT recommend Merry Maui Weddings to my worst enemy!!
Your wedding is supposed to be the most special day, you are supposed to be crying because you are so happy, not because there is still a bride and groom and the exact location, with the same company, at the time your wedding is supposed to start and because your flowers, that you paid and extra $100 for to have the "premium selection" were rotting and disgusting!!
The flowers looked as if they were picked off the side of the road on the way to the wedding, they look like the kind you would pick on the side of a freeway that are covered in bugs and half dried out! (there were no bugs surprisingly)!!
The colors we chose were not represented AT ALL....
Half the guest leis were good, half were obviously a bit older...
Now, the worst part, the photography!!! My family that were there took much better photos with their point and shoot than were provided by this "photographer"..half the photos, not even kidding, have either his wife sitting in a double person red lawn chair with an umbrella in the background, his kid who was "learning to be a photographer" or had SUCH bad lighting or exposure!! We do not have even ONE of his photographs displayed in our house, they are too embarrassing!!
We paid extra for the "24 hour photo rush" which was NOT 24 hours, and then they were just put on a website that you can only access for a week! well we stayed in Maui for more than a week, so when we got home, we no longer had access to the photos! AND we are pretty sure NONE were edited!
The only thing worth the money was the extra we paid for a true hawaiian minister that played the ukulele and sung!! ( but again, Vincent and his "team" messed that up buy not playing OUR WEDDING DANCE SONG and instead played the song we specifically requested NOT be played for our first dance....even thinking about it I am FUMING!!!!)
DON'T DO IT!!!!!! -
User1101783 Sent on 03/03/2013Do not trust these people with your wedding!
My (now) husband and I weren't married for several months because they messed up the paperwork, absolutely unacceptable. 2/3 of the flowers didn't arrive (the ones that did were incorrect) and I still haven't received a refund after 4 months. They're disorganized, they're unprofessional and you may or may nto be ACTUALLY married.
Merry Maui Weddings's reply:
I am sorry this bride is disappointed with our services and the beautiful wedding she received.
It is true that two guest leis were not present as there was a misunderstanding of what she ordered, which we should have verified. We sent her a check to refund the leis quite some time ago.
The minister did everything he was supposed to in regard to her marriage certificate but the State of Hawaii made a mistake and did not enter it. A new system is in place that ocaisionally has glitches, though not often anymore.
The day, the bride let us know about this problem, the minister set out to correct it and did, as soon as possible. They were always legally married. the health department simply failed to enter it, upon their new website. It was easily corrected and would have been sooner if they had let us know sooner. The website had informed the minister, that the wedding certificate was confirmed and he had no way to know it had not.
I am sad, that because of a couple of communication glitches, that have been corrected already, this new wife wants to cause people to think we won't do a good job, because we care very much and we do an excellent job. We are not always completely perfect and neither are computers but we do our best and most think it is wonderful.
