Our wedding will be in Kīhei, Maui at South Maui Gardens. Kīhei is a laid-back beach town on the southwest side of Maui.

The best airport is Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui. It is the closest to our hotel and wedding venue (about 25 minutes away). Other airports on Maui are much farther: Kapalua Airport (JHM) – a very small commuter airport on the west side of Maui, about 50 minutes from Kīhei. Flights are limited. Hāna Airport (HNM) – located in east Maui, about a 2.5-hour drive to Kīhei. Not recommended unless you are already planning to stay in Hāna.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need a passport, but you will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another TSA-approved form of identification to fly. International guests will need a valid passport.

The Maui Coast Hotel in Kīhei is about a 25-minute drive (15 miles) from Kahului Airport.

South Maui Gardens is only about a 5-minute walk (0.6 miles) from the Maui Coast Hotel.

Early September in Kīhei brings warm, tropical weather — expect daytime highs around 86–87 °F (30–31 °C) and nighttime lows around 71–72 °F (22 °C). Conditions are typically sunny and dry, making it perfect for beach outings or outdoor celebrations.

Maui follows Hawaii Standard Time (HST), which is 2–3 hours behind Pacific Time (California) depending on the time of year (Hawaii does not observe Daylight Savings Time).

We love your little ones, but this will be an adults-only celebration.

Renting a car is recommended, as public transportation is limited on Maui. Ride-share services (Uber, Lyft) and taxis are available but can be more expensive and less frequent.

Comfortable, colorful, and tropical! Think light fabrics like linen. Jackets are welcome but not required for men. Ladies can wear dresses or outfits suitable for warm weather.

Yes! The Maui Coast Hotel is just across the street from Kamaole Beach Park, a perfect spot to swim or catch the sunset.

Yes, Maui is safe and welcoming for visitors. Just be mindful of ocean safety signs and respect the island’s natural environment.
