A perfect day

We had our wedding at Merriman's and it was absolutely perfect! We truly couldn't have done it without all their help. Thank you Val, Sophia and Taylor!

Ahhh.. Seriously what can I say about Merriman's. The moment we finally saw Merriman's (which was JUST the day before our wedding for our rehearsal) it took our breath away!! Words cannot describe how beautiful Merriman's is overlooking Kapalua bay! We had an intimate wedding of only 23 people so we had our ceremony on their grassy knoll/overlook. What a gorgeous day to have a wedding. It only very lightly drizzled as we were saying our vows.. Which created the most gorgeous rainbow over us! It was magical and perfect! For our dinner reception we rented out their outdoor cabana (which gave us a more intimate feel). The cabana was decorated so beautifully! It was definitely what I had envisioned it to be for our intimate wedding. One long table decorated with our florals, Mercury vases, candles, hanging crystals, succulents and of course that Maui sunset! Also, everyone could not stop raving about the food! We started off with a salad and a choice of 2 entrees: macadamia nut crusted mongchong and the filet mignon! Both was superb! And quite honestly the best meal we've had on Maui. Merriman's also did our wedding cake! We had a macadamia nut flavored cake with lillikoi cream frosting (very light and flavorful). Anyway, I can go on and on raving about Merriman's... But the last thing I will say is.. If you're ever planning to get married in Maui... And are looking for a beautiful backdrop, amazing food, and great service! look no further! Seriously! Make the easy choice and go with Merriman's! TRUST me... you will NOT be disappointed! My husband and I cannot wait til we come back to Maui again to visit the place where we tied the knot! Merriman's Kapalua will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

Merriman's Kapalua Maui was a top-notch, high-quality venue that provided my wife and I with a wedding that you could only dream of. The setting was superb, the views were magical, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was attentive and professional - from beginning to end, they provided us with a wedding that we'll never forget and we will be forever thankful. Only downside would be the coordination fees but that's customary as they recommend preferred vendors, etc. and essentially do all the dirty work qualifying. Ultimately with all the venues and reviews available, make sure you go with Merriman's Kapalua as your top choice - it's hands down the best wedding venue in Maui!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
