Po’olenalena Beach Maui, Wedding on Septemeber 15, 2009

The best time for a Maui Beach Wedding is either early in the morning between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. (the earlier in the day, the less crowded a beach will be) or at sunset time which varies from 5:44 p.m. in the winter and 7:11 p.m. in the summer months. In case of a sunset beach ceremony, we will start the celebration about 1 to 1.5 hours prior to sunset, depending on your guest attendance and photo package selection.
