Sailing to Hawaii on a cruise ship and then getting married at your first port-of-call 3 hours after you arrive can give you slight symptoms of anxiety and temporary nail biting frenzies… “Will the ship arrive on-time?… Will the weather be good?… Will we be able to arrive in Kahului at all due to rough seas?

The answer to all of the above was YES, and the Limo was there waiting for us when we arrived! Peggy and Mike didn’t miss a single detail. Makena Beach was beautiful; Mike and the photo crew were absolutely AWESOME! The traditional Hawaiian ceremony was stunning and very heartfelt. The biggest directors in Hollywood couldn’t have created a more beautiful day, setting, or ceremony.

Peggy and Mike didn’t treat us like a customer… on that magical day and the weeks before, we were family! I made calls to several different wedding businesses on Maui and throughout Hawaii. When Peggy answered the phone that first time, I knew immediately where we were going and who we were going to trust to make our special day the very best.

Dawn and I are going to have our vows renewed every year in Maui with Peggy and Mike making it happen. What an incredible start to a wonderful friendship!

Much Aloha and Mahalo,

My husband Joe and I got married using Maui Aloha Weddings and had FANTASTIC service and help. Peggy was wonderful, sweet, and helpful and Mike with Mike Yeany Photography did an excellent job as minister and photographer. I would recommend Maui Aloha Weddings for anyone who dreams of having a destination wedding in paradise.

Because of Mike Yeany officiating and photographing our October wedding it turned out to be one of the best days of our lives. We found Mike through an online wedding coordinator, Peggy; and so we did not know what to expect. Well let me tell you that the least expected were a half photographer package and a discount ceremony. But what we received was equivalent to several photographers work and a ceremony that was beyond words beautiful. We were expecting the basic traditional ceremony and what we received was a spiritual Hawaiian ceremony that was not only traditional but then further enriched by Mike’s meaningful words about the specialness of marriage and Love. If you desire a special and unique officiant with a talent for photography. The pictures came out “gorgeous & beautiful” to quote our friends and family. We would highly recommend Mike for your wedding day. So look no further and hire the best in the Islands.

Peggy is such a lovely person who fulfills all desires. Everything was perfect at our special day and we are so happy to choose Peggy as our wedding planer. We had so many questions but she was so patient with us. Now were really had our dream wedding and we are so thankful for that and we can’t wait to get the certificate with the apostil for Germany. Thank you very much Peggy for everything you did for us. We can really recommend her to all of you!!!

Peggy was such a delight to work with! I was having so much trouble at home planning a wedding due to all of the stress and cost. I decided to give up and do a destination and I would never recommend doing anything other. Peggy made the process not only easy and seamless, but stress free. What Bride wants to stress!? After picking the right wedding package for us, she recommended any additional items that I may want and was so easy to accommodate any questions and requests I had. The wedding day came and went by so beautifully! We had guests at our wedding and she was easy to mingle with them to keep everyone entertained while waiting for me to come down the beautiful petal aisle! I have raved about her to my friends and co workers so now it is time for the world to see her attention to detail as well!

Along with Peggy was our officiate and photographer, Michael Yeany. Brides!!! You want great photos of your wedding, don’t go with anyone else! Mike was not only so comfortable and personable during the experience but he was able to add humor to the entire session. Your wedding day might be stressful or have things for you to worry about but Mike helped to make light of any situation so that we got the pictures that we wanted. He was so easy and fun to work with. Those moments when you need to laugh to loosen up, he provides a joke! Mike knows how to capture the emotion behind the photo, not just your face. The moments we have, we will cherish forever. Thank you Mike for making our wedding photos and day, something so beautiful!

We chose Maui Aloha Weddings and had a great experience. My Wife did the planning with Peggy Temple, I just showed up as an anxious groom. Our minister treated me like an old friend. Still, Photographer Mike Yeany, and Videographer Brian Rothstein ,were fun and professional guys that made me feel at ease. Mike made me laugh by joking with me about my pimp shoes. At first I was nervous being in front of the camera and video, but when I saw how elaborate the edited products looked we are so happy.

Mahalo plenty,

Planning a wedding and a family trip from long distance isn’t always easy – especially when you are somewhat of a control freak like me.

Working with Peggy and her team was a breath of fresh air. She was so calm and had it under control the whole time. It was nice to be able to let go and let her handle it. She treats you as if you are her only client when, behind the scenes, she probably has 20 others she’s working with at the same time (or more). I can’t thank you enough for all you did for us. Everything was perfect!!!!!! A dream come true!!!!!

Tracy

You never know what to expect planning a wedding over the internet, but it couldn’t have been better. After meeting with Peggy and Mike for five minutes they were like old friends. Our wedding was at Kapalua Bay. Peggy and Mike made this the perfect wedding.

The setting and ceremony were absolutely beautiful and the photos that Mike took are breathtaking. I can’t thank Peggy and Mike enough for making this day so special.

Peggy and Michael created the perfect wedding experience, from beginning to end. We were looking for something adventurous for our wedding ceremony (at the top of Mt Haleakala), and they seemed to be the only company willing to do that (other companies just offer beach/waterfall ceremonies as ‘adventurous’). Peggy was quick to answer any questions we had, from before booking the wedding to the end of the ceremony and beyond.

Michael performed a unique and very personal ceremony that was loved by everyone attending. After the ceremony Michael went above and beyond to take some more great pictures of us, hiking down with us some on the trail to the crater to take more pictures of us. Then it was time to say goodbye, which was a bit sad because we had really enjoyed his company!

All the pictures he took turned out spectacular and were ready for viewing the next day!

Thanks again for creating such a great wedding experience for us!

If you are considering a wedding on Maui, be it at the beach, a waterfall, or something more unique such as what we did, you cannot go wrong with them!

I worked with Peggy while planning our Maui ceremony all the way from Phoenix and was completely impressed by how easy she made the process. Truly, it almost seemed TOO easy, that’s not something you hear often with wedding planning.

We had done a lot of research on other options in Maui for an elopement type ceremony and were beyond happy with the fair pricing, package options, flexibility and service we received. Would recommend Peggy and her services to anyone! We feel lucky to have had an experience that was JUST as we hoped it would be. THANK YOU Peggy and Maui Aloha Weddings!

Laura

Peggy was an absolute joy to work with throughout my wedding. She was extremely helpful the closer the wedding came. She made sure she was in contact with me the entire time and made sure we had everything in order for the big day. Everything went as planned and her attention to detail was spectacular. If there were any hiccups on the day of the wedding I had no idea (and still don’t). She helped get everything set up with the vendors and even helped make reservations for a dinner luau for us and our guests. I would 100% recommend Peggy as she is an amazing wedding planner and helps to keep things running smoothly and staying calm!

The biggest difficulty in writing a review for Mike as our minister AND our photographer is to figure out which amazing point to start with. First of all — and seemingly most relevant, I guess — our wedding pictures are amazing. He is so funny and calm he put us both right at ease. His photos are a mixture of absolutely beautiful ones and really funny ones and artsy ones and ones that I know will be up on the mantlepiece for decades. There are ones where I think “wow, is that really me?” and ones where I go, “haha, yup, that’s me.” Our wedding was such an emotional day, and I think Mike really captured that. I can see our happiness — and that of our friends and family — reflected in the images that he took. I’m incredibly grateful to him for the part that he played in making our wedding such a wonderful experience.

A big thank you to Peggy and her fantastic team of very kind, sincere and lovely wedding experts for making the wedding a dream come true for my husband & I. We had the best day of our lives and couldn’t ask for a more beautiful wedding & reception! We had our wedding in Maui and prior to that, we had no idea about the place as we knew no one there. Engaging Peggy’s services was the best decision made as she was very helpful in giving us advice and tips on how to go about making the wedding happen in Maui. Now that we are back in Japan, we are so glad we did it in Maui, and with Maui Aloha Weddings!

Melissa

We hired Peggy and Mike through Maui Aloha weddings to conduct and photograph our wedding this past February. Only our choice of setting (Maui) rivaled the good decision that choosing Peggy and Mike turned out to be. We wanted a simple ceremony and wanted to put as little effort into the planning as possible while ensuring that the big event would be an experience that we and our family would remember (for all the right reasons). Peggy and Mike made exactly that happen! Peggy’s coordination and Mike’s photography and officiant talents were the ingredients for a fun, beautiful, stress-free beach wedding. And working with Mike regarding the photographs after we left Maui was a pleasure. He was responsive to our requests and went way above and beyond with some of his photo edits. In the end, we have a set of memories and photographs that we’ll cherish for a long time to come.
