10 Maui Wedding Venues With Scenic Ocean Views
No matter where you are on Maui, the ocean isn't far away! Check out these Maui wedding venues that offer some of the best scenery on the Valley Isle.
As Hawaii’s second-largest island, Maui is nicknamed the “Valley Isle” for its rugged yet breathtaking landscape filled with mountains, waterfalls, and dense tropical forests. If you’re considering getting married in Hawaii, these Maui wedding venues offer all the same perks—gorgeous beaches, top-notch resorts, beautiful sunsets—as popular Hawaiian wedding locations like Honolulu and Waikiki on Oahu, with a much more laid-back vibe. Maui is constantly named one of the best Hawaiian islands for vacationers, but it’s a seriously incredible backdrop for your wedding, too! Keep reading to see why we’re loving these Maui wedding venues.

For the ultimate fairytale wedding, there's no better place to get married than Haiku Mill.
