Darci and her team are absolutely incredible! If you are planning a Maui wedding do not hesitate to hire this company. The whole team was professional, kind and gave a unique personal experience. My husband and I eloped to Maui and Darci was there every step of the way. Her recommendations were spot on and the experience was seamless. As someone who has worked for a wedding planner in the past I can say I would whole-heartedly recommend this company and team.

In 2024, on a trip to England and Scotland which included a seven-day Outlander tour, there was a surprise proposal on the steps of Midhope Castle, known by Outlander fans as "Lallybroch". We also had a planned special Celtic Handfasting Commitment Ceremony in the Highlands. We then began thinking about a uniquely us wedding which would be just as magical. Last year, we booked bucket list trip #2, a 2026 cruise of the Hawaiian Islands with our best friends. We did some searching to see if a Maui wedding would be possible while in port there. We found Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, and our dream wedding came to be. Darci was amazing. She handled everything and all we had to do was show up. First step for us was to fill out a detailed questionnaire so she got to know who we were, and it was truly planned just for us. She handled all the details, quickly answered any questions we had through email or text, reassured us all would be fine when threats of storms were in the news. She found the perfect location at Makena Cove Beach for our ceremony and was there with us on our special day. Reverend Kuya performed our beautiful ceremony. It truly felt like he knew us. We also did a memorial lei toss in memory of my parents and all our grandparents which meant so much to us. Penny (Penny Palmer Photography) captured the beauty of the beach, our emotions of excitement, love, happy tears and even a few laughs during the ceremony and our first pictures as Newlyweds on beautiful Makena Cove Beach. So hard to choose our favorite photos, we purchased the whole gallery. It was truly a magical wedding which we will never forget. Mahola to Darci, Penny and Reverend Kuya for our most magical wedding! As one who likes to plan everything out, it was a leap of faith to just let someone else take care of everything and just show up; however, Darci had it planned perfectly leaving it stress free for us. We may just be back in touch in years to come to have a vow renewal ceremony done by our Aloha Maui Dream Weddings ohana!

10/10 would recommend to anyone to elope in Maui! Throughout our engagement, we really were not looking forward to planning the big "traditional" American wedding that was going to cost us well over $30k! Darci took what we wanted as a couple & made it come to life. The whole process was easy...we booked a trip to Maui & Darci took care of the rest. Marriage license - done; photographer - amazing, officiant - felt like family! It was perfect & exactly what we WANTED! No pressure from family, no timeline -- just us on a "secret" beach in Maui! It was absolutely magical! Thank you Darci, Penny & Robert ... the A+ team!

This was everything my husband and I could have asked for. Darci was excellent to work with. She alleviated all the stress and was attentive to every detail. Anytime I reached out with questions, she would reply promptly. Her team of officiants, videographers, photographers, musical styles, and florists was all wonderful to work with. It was just the two of us for our wedding, and they all made us feel welcome and at home in our element.

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony back in March. I remember when she first floated the idea of doing a wedding in Hawaii I thought it was crazy and would be way more work than it could be worth. MAN WAS I WRONG. We had an absolutely amazing time. Darci and her team made a dream wedding happen. I was stunned by how easy she made everything. The team we worked with made for the most amazing memories and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you so much Darci and to your team we are forever grateful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! JUST SHOOT THE SHOT AND WORK WITH DARCI!! YOU WONT REGRET IT!!

My now husband and I wanted to have a simple and short ceremony for just us on our 9-year anniversary, and Darci made it perfect for us. She was kind, responsive, helpful, and personable! Penny took fantastic photos that we’ll always treasure. She, too, was incredibly kind! Jackie did my hair and makeup wonderfully, and it was so stress-free. Everything about it was great, and I’m so thankful!

We used Penny Palmer and Darci for our 40th anniversary vow renewal ceremony and family photographs. They took care of all of the details for the ceremony. The event and creative photography were perfect.
We used Penny and Darci for our 30th anniversary and loved our pictures so much that we came back for more!!! They pictures are hanging in our house so we can cherish the memories of that day. my screensaver on my computer is our family picture.
We did the ceremony and photo session at Napili Bay Beach, with the sunset in the background. The sunset was spectacular and stunning.
I highly recommend using Darci and Penny for any anniversary or special event. They make every picture special.
Aloha!!! 🌺🌺🌺

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer Photography for the amazing vow renewal they organized, executed and photographed for our little family. They were so incredibly fun to work with and gave us the most meaningful ceremony we could have ever asked for, far exceeding our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for more! If you are planning a wedding, renewal or any type of family or event photography, please contact Darci and Penny.

Trust this team with planning your special day. If I had known about Aloha Dream Weddings we would have been married sooner! Darci's team is stellar! It was the best experience. Jackie, my hair and make up stylist created my vision at 5 AM. She was a joy, upbeat and positive and so talented. Ian our photographer was the best. Truly talented professional with a keen eye for the perfect shot. He took the time to ensure our photos captured the amazing beauty of Maui along with the special ceremony moments! Robert our Minister was a special surprise as he articulated the meaning of marriage and committment with grace. His words resonated with us and we will cherish and value his wisdom forever. Darci made our wedding day stress free and joyful. We are so grateful to have found Aloha Dream Weddings!

Darci and her team at Aloha Maui Dream Weddings made our special day absolutely perfect. From finding us a gorgeous spot on the beach of a hidden cove for our wedding ceremony, to talking us through the event and its planning…every step of the way. This experience definitely exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend this group. Starting with the Hair Stylist/Makeup artist, Jackie, who arrived at our hotel, which for her was an hour away, at 4:30am to get a nervous bride ready for her big day and made her feel very beautiful. To our awesome photographer, Ian, who spent so much time with us making sure to get those perfect shots at the most flattering angles, and timing them in between some really unpredictable, but spectacular, crashing waves. And of course, our Hawaiian Minister, Robert, who was soooo wonderful; the tear-filled ceremony was simple yet beautiful and more than we could ever have hoped for. All brought together of course by Darci, who’s warm demeanor which quickly puts you at ease, handled everything with complete professionalism and grace.

Aloha Maui Dream Weddings helped to create one of the most memorable experiences of our lives…and from the bottom of our hearts, we are so thankful!!
