Selecting
A Maui Garden Wedding Site
There are several beautiful garden
sites available for Maui weddings. This page shows several
different locations that will give you an idea of what is
available. If you have a larger party, talk to me about
which site is best for your Maui garden wedding. Many of the resorts also have
garden sites so you will want to look on that page as well.
You can find it by clicking, Resort Sites.
Maui
Tropical Plantation
The plantation is a site that
contains approximately eight acres and is a popular tourist
attraction. They have an hourly tram that takes visitors
around the grounds (which gives you an idea about its size).
They also have a nice location for lunch, as well as a large
gift store on site. The plantation has recently
changed ownership and the landscaping has been upgraded.
The Plantation has a nice gazebo area
next to the pond and a small white bridge perfect for your
wedding photography. The location is excellent for a small
wedding party or larger groups up to a hundred people.
Because it is a private location, alcohol can also be
served. There is also a place where the bride can dress and
be secluded from the bridegroom.
The location of this Maui Garden
wedding site is in
Maui's central valley, so the weather can be more cloudy
than if you are on the beach in South Maui. (This also
has the advantage of providing a little less heat for hot days).
Maui
Tropical Gardens
This is a smaller three acre garden
that is better for smaller wedding parties of twenty or
less. The gazebo has a long entry way pictured below. The garden has many
little paths and a small pond with a miniature water fall that
can be used for your Maui garden wedding photography.
The gardens are located at the
beginning of the Maui's Iao Valley, a popular tourist site.
The area lends itself to other wedding pictures being taken
further up in the valley. Keep in mind that this part of the
island is often rainy and/or covered by low-hanging clouds.
You will also be about a half hour's drive from the beach.
Maluaka Beach
 This site is not really a garden. It
is a grassy park overlooking the beach. While not nearly as
nice as the two paid sites mentioned above, it is free. This
site is best for couples who want a grassy area or
garden-like setting close to the beach.
This park is adjacent to the Maui
Prince Hotel. There is one nice grassy area surrounded by
colorful scrubs. There are also several large
old trees near the ocean that make a great backdrop for your
photography.
There is a rest room available nearby
and 15 parking spaces further away. To find the beach take
Piilani Highway (31) south past Kihei. When the road makes a
"T" into Wailea Alanui drive, turn left at the signal. Watch
for the Maui Prince Resort and turn right towards the ocean
on the first road past the hotel. The road is not marked.
The only real sign says that it is a "Dead End".
