About Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
The Four Seasons opened at Wailea in 1990 on the south shore of Maui, on a stretch of Wailea Beach that faces west across the channel to Lanai and Kahoolawe.
It is the resort most planners name first when a couple says Hawaii, and the reason is the ceremony sites.
Plumeria Point is a small grassed point inside the sculpture garden, under an arbour of plumeria trees, holding about 40 guests with the fountains and the Kahalawai mountains behind.
The oceanfront lawn takes far more, up to 500 standing for a reception, which is where the bigger Maui weddings happen.

Questions about the venue
How many guests can the Four Seasons Maui hold for a wedding?+
It depends entirely on the site. Plumeria Point takes about 40, the Plumeria gardens run from 40 to 100, and the oceanfront lawn holds up to 500 for a standing reception. Seated dinners in the low hundreds are routine here.
What does a wedding at the Four Seasons Maui cost?+
Published catering figures are $400 per person for a cocktail hour and dinner reception, $200 per person for a welcome reception and $125 for brunch. Ceremony site fees and the elopement package, at $11,500 for up to ten people on weekdays, are quoted separately.
Can we buy out the resort for our wedding?+
No. With 383 rooms this is not a buyout property, so your guests share the pools, the beach and the restaurants with other visitors. Book a room block early and expect a private site for the ceremony and dinner rather than a private resort.
How do we get legally married in Hawaii?+
Both of you apply in person to a state-appointed marriage licence agent on the island, with photo identification. There is no waiting period and no residency or citizenship requirement, and the licence is valid for 30 days from the date it is issued.
When is the best time of year for a Maui wedding?+
Wailea sits on the leeward side and stays dry most of the year, though the trade winds pick up in the afternoon, which matters for candles, veils and outdoor sound.
Which airport do guests fly into for Wailea?+
Kahului, on the north side of Maui, about 35 minutes by car. It takes direct flights from the US mainland west coast, and connections through Honolulu for everything else. Rental cars book out fast in high season.
