When it comes to planning a luxury destination wedding on beautiful Maui, Andaz at Wailea Resort is the total package. Boasting breathtaking scenery at every turn, an incredible selection of outdoor ceremony and reception venues, and a dedicated in-house team to support you every step of the way, there’s truly nothing more effortless and enchanting than tying the knot at this beachside haven. Lucky for you, I’ve got the inside scoop as a Maui wedding photographer who has firsthand experience documenting dreamy celebrations at Andaz!
About Andaz Maui
Andaz may have amazing hotels all over the world, but to me, there’s nothing better than the magic of Wailea for a tropical destination wedding. Nestled on 15 spectacular beachfront acres overlooking Mōkapu Beach, Andaz Maui is a true Hawaiian dream in every sense of the word; the perfect blend of that laid-back island atmosphere we all love, and an elegant, sophisticated setting ready to host an unforgettable event.
Just 16 miles from Kahului Airport (OGG) and 33 miles from Kapalua Airport (JHM), your guests won’t have any trouble getting to the resort that will soon become their own island paradise, and will be welcomed in with open arms as soon as they arrive.
I honestly can’t picture a more incredible wedding experience than getting to spend quality time with your favorite people, for multiple days, in such a BEAUTIFUL location! Your family and friends will thank you, trust me 😉 And with space to accommodate up to 600 people, depending on the venue, there’s no need to cut down on your guest list—everybody can join the party.
Why Get Married at Andaz Maui?
Stunning beach location
I mean. . . what else is there to say? I’d venture to guess that when you first envisioned your Maui destination wedding, you likely imagined a picturesque beachfront location with swaying palm trees, soothing ocean air, spectacular sunset views, lush tropical greenery, and a gentle island breeze in your hair. Andaz offers all of that and more with its amazing location on Maui, where it doesn’t take more than a few minutes of walking to have your toes in the sand, feet in the water, and waves crashing over your legs.
Plus, being on the dry side of Maui, you’re much less likely to get rain on your wedding day than you would be in the east, or around the West Maui Mountains. Wailea is a beautiful area to host your wedding if you’re dreaming of a warm, sunny celebration alongside vibrant blue waters.
Versatile outdoor spaces
Andaz boasts not one, not two, but six spectacular spaces for ceremonies and reception, ranging from lush oceanfront lawns to intimate, indoor rooms with expansive lanais. Plus, you and your wedding party will also have access to gorgeous, modern getting-ready rooms, so no need to book a separate location for that!
Here’s a brief look at each venue to help you find the right one for you:
Laule’a 1
The dreamiest space for wedding receptions of up to 400 people, with incredible views of the ocean and West Maui Mountains.
Laule’a 2
The biggest oceanfront venue at Andaz, with room to accommodate up to 600 people and breathtaking ocean views, tons of lawn space, and an elevated stage.
Laule’a 3
The smallest of the three main outdoor lawn options, available for a maximum of 200 guests and great for ceremonies beneath the iconic Wailea tree.
Studio Ekahi
If you’d rather host part of your celebration indoors, Studio Ekahi can fit up to 100 guests for an intimate meal, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a lovely lanai for a bit of fresh air.
Nohea Lawn
Just above the resort’s infinity pools is the Nohea Lawn, a beautiful setting with space for up to 100 guests, and picturesque palm tree + ocean views.
Main Studio
Want to elevate your evening with an indoor, ballroom-esque reception? The Main Studio can seat up to 450 guests for an elegant dinner underneath glistening bubble chandeliers and high ceilings.
Opportunities for extended festivities
Who says your whole wedding has to fit within one day? Andaz offers plenty of pre and post-wedding experiences for you and your guests to take part in, including rehearsal dinners, welcome or farewell brunches, after-party celebrations, and more. If you’re traveling all the way to Maui, might as well celebrate for as long as you can + enjoy the lavish guest rooms, right?
Besides the official wedding festivities, you and your guests will also have countless opportunities to create amazing memories at Andaz during your time there. Whether you’d like to embrace Hawaiian culture with a luxury Lūʻau at Mōkapu Beach, a sunrise helicopter tour over the summit of Haleakala National Park, a once-in-a-lifetime snorkeling and diving adventure at Molokini, or a guided tour of the Road to Hana, there are ENDLESS ways to take advantage of your time on Maui through the experiences Andaz has to offer.
Andaz even has a full-service spa and salon on-site, offering luxurious treatments and experiences ranging from massages, to body treatments, to facials, and more. How fun would it be to book massages or facials for your wedding party before the big day to leave you feeling refreshed & relaxed? Or to unwind the day after with a nourishing body treatment, time in the sauna, or swim in the outdoor tranquility pool? There are honestly too many incredible services and amenities to even name, so you better just take a look at the spa info yourself!
Dedicated in-house wedding team
Because Andaz Maui is a part of the Hyatt family, you will get access to the absolute best, highly-trained Wedding Specialists to help plan a totally stress-free day. No need to panic over coordinating vendor arrival times or setup and breakdown on the day that YOU should be enjoying, or feeling overwhelmed by the amount of planning that goes into getting your decor all put up in time—they’ll take care of it all for you! From personalized decor to expert wedding design, your celebration will be as easy and effortless as a wedding can possibly be. Did I mention that Andaz also offers an incredible culinary team who uses farm-fresh, seasonally-inspired, elevated cuisine that will have your guest’s mouths watering the entire day?
With such an awesome team available at the ready to help make sure everything runs smoothly day-of, you’ll be able to relax and truly enjoy your experience, being present in the moment without worrying about what’s going on behind the scenes. I’ve truly heard only the best of things about the hospitality and support of the staff at Andaz, so you can trust that you’ll have a killer team of experts by your side the entire way.
Perfect for a tropical honeymoon
To top it all off, the magic of Andaz continues even after your wedding day, with a variety of unforgettable honeymoon packages and experiences! Why leave this enchanting island paradise to travel somewhere else when you could stay right where you are, and enjoy even more time being pampered & totally present with each other? It’s the ultimate destination for a relaxing, tropical honeymoon for couples who want to bask in newlywed bliss next to gorgeous pools, in a lavish spa, at incredible restaurants, and exploring everything the island has to offer. You absolutely have to experience a massage at the spa (because you deserve it after all that wedding planning!), as well as the beach lunches and late-night room service snacks. Make that just-married feeling last as looong as you can before you have to get back to real life!
Another key thing to note is that if you’re a World of Hyatt member, you can earn Bonus Points by getting married at Andaz that can then be redeemed for free honeymoon nights (or free nights at any Hyatt hotel in the future)!
