The story:

Loreal and John intimate celebration on Maui is the perfect blueprint for a luxury getaway with just a few of your closest friends and family members. This lovely couple said I do in front of the Pacific Ocean, at the gorgeous Sheraton Maui Resort in Kaanapali. The talented team of Platinum Weddings and Events, styled and planned their intimate gathering to perfection. After their beautiful ceremony, Loreal and John joined Dmitri and Sandra on an Adventure Photo Session in different Maui iconic locations, followed by dinner with their friends and family. They wanted wedding photos that showed Maui’s raw beauty, and they did … They scored a perfect Maui day with light trade winds blowing, and plenty of sunshine.

FromTaryn Stark Wyant Event Planning and DesignLoreal and John dreamed of an intimate yet elegant Maui wedding, an event that would be both simple but at the same time have a definite wow factor. They envisioned saying their I Dos with the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean behind them, on the romantic island of Maui, but didn’t want to actually be on the beach with their toes in the sand. 

Instead, they decided on the stunning and secluded Ka’anapali Point on the property of The Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa as their Maui Wedding Venue. Choosing this venue allowed the couple the privacy that they desired while also providing amazing ocean views Taryn Wyant was the Lead Planner on this gorgeous Maui wedding and designed a lavish ceremony in shades of greenery and white, clear acrylic chiavari chairs were set for guest seating and elegant acrylic calligraphy was placed for signage. The overall look and feel of their intimate elopement was decidedly elegant, graceful and provided the exact look that the bride and groom had in mind. Teresa Sena Designs created the focal point of their ceremony, a luxurious wedding arch covered in white floral decor and touches of greenery. Everyone in attendance commented on the breathtaking decor, and most importantly, the bride shared that it was everything that she imagined and more.
