In summary: “Maui wedding package” means three very different things: elopement packages ($1,500–5,000 — officiant, photographer, permit, flowers), resort ceremony packages ($3,000–8,000+ before dinner), and full planned weddings ($25,000–60,000+ for ~50 guests). Match the package type to your guest count before you compare prices — comparing an elopement package to a resort package is how couples get confused.
Elopement packages ($1,500–5,000)
Two to ten people, a beach or estate corner, 1–2 hours. Includes officiant, photographer, lei/bouquet, permit handling. The best value on the island — full elopement guide here.
Resort ceremony packages ($3,000–8,000+)
Resorts sell the ceremony (site, coordinator, basic florals, sound) separately from the reception. Dinner is where the budget actually goes — figure $150–400 per guest in food-and-beverage minimums at the Wailea and Kāʻanapali properties in our venue guide.
Full planned weddings ($25,000–60,000+)
Estate venue + planner + full vendor team for 30–100+ guests. A good full-service planner runs $8,000–15,000 or 10–20% of budget and typically saves most of that in vendor pricing and avoided mistakes — see planners and our honest cost breakdown.
What packages don’t include
Guest travel and rooms, marriage license (~$65 through the Hawaiʻi DOH), most videography, and — at estates — rentals (tables, chairs, lighting) which can run $5,000–15,000 alone. Ask every venue what “package” excludes; that one question predicts your real total better than the sticker price.
