Aloha from Hawaii!

We all know that in today's world, it is often so much more difficult for couples to keep their love alive. Marriage is a challenge for almost all couples, no matter how long they've been together. That's one of the big reasons for vacations. Love needs time together, where we can build our emotional connection, hopefully rejuvenating our relationships with a strong new burst of passion.

There is probably no better time or place to plan a romantic vow renewal with your spouse, than in the incredible splendor of a tropical paradise. There's something so enchanting about Maui that it rekindles the romance in your heart. Perhaps you've been here before, and then you already know what I'm talking about. If not, you're likely to find Maui a delightful paradise in which you can enjoy a "second (or third or fourth) honeymoon."

Our vow renewal package includes the ceremony, two leis and a certificate, for just $297.  Photography can be added for only $150. That would include a CD with 24 images.

No coordinator is present. The minister does the ceremony with a camera around his neck taking a few photos during and lots afterwards. This is only good with our in house minister/photographer, John Souter. If he is not available, another minister/ photographer may be substituted, but the cost will be higher based on their prices.
 

Surprise Vow Renewals — Over the years we've performed many surprise vow renewals for delighted brides (and grooms). If a woman loves surprises, I can't think of a better one than to have her dress up for dinner, only to be taken to a romantic beach location where her husband falls down on his knee and asks her to "Maui me (R)" all over again. It's so much fun to watch the teary-eyed bride as our minister appears to lead the couple in a fresh new vow renewal ceremony, while a photographer (and sometimes a videographer) record the moment. Often the couples will sit down at a tiki torch lit table as they are served dinner on the beach.

Hawaii Wedding Vow Renewals — We've had many couples who eloped when they were married. Because they had no money back then, many of them had no photography or trimmings at their weddings. When they come to Maui, these couples often want to add all of the romantic touches to their vow renewal what they did not get at their wedding. Like us, they order most of the "trimmings" as they remember what it was that first brought them together.

Anniversary Vow Renewals with Family Reunions — Over the years, we've also performed a number of vow renewals for couples celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries. We have coordinated some great times for these couples with family reunions connected to their celebration for their kids, grandchildren and sometimes their great grandchildren.

Simple Hawaii Vow Renewals — But we also have many couples who come to Maui and have a simple ceremonies with little or no extras. It's totally up to you. Do whatever is right for this time in your relationship. Just a little ceremony or an elaborate production, the most important part of a vow renewal is the message that the two of you are giving to one another... You are in still very much in love and that you are committed to "going the distance."

Because the vow renewal ceremony is at the heart of what every couple does when they recommit themselves to each other, you will want to take a look at our ceremonies. You want a ceremony that will honor your relationship and which will speak just the right words to adequately restate your feelings for each other.

If my husband John is available, he actually has four different Maui vow renewal ceremonies. Each is a little different. One has a Christian emphasis, the second has a spiritual emphasis, the third is a contemporary ceremony (non-religious) and his fourth ceremony was written for couples who have kids, which we like to call his Legacy ceremony. You can read each of these ceremonies on this site to find the one that is just right for the two of you.The following links will take you to pages where you can read John Souter's Maui vow renewal ceremonies.

We also use several Hawaiian ministers who have vow renewal ceremonies. In most cases, we don't have a printed version of their ceremonies, and we do charge a little more if our default minister is not performing the ceremony.

Big or small, I love organizing our Hawaii vow renewal ceremonies for our couples. If you want to plan something special for yourselves, just give me a call and we can talk about so many of the different statements of love that the two of you can make together. I have so much experience with surprise vow renewals that I can definitely give you some ideas (if you need them).

Our Hawaii vow renewal prices are the same as our Maui weddings pricing. So rather than repeat everything on this website, many of the links to our packages and other services will take you to our wedding site, which is http://mauime.com.

Maui is like no other place on earth. It is so beautiful and romantic. When couples come here they often just want to walk hand-in-hand at the water's edge, or sit to watch a Maui sunset in amazement as if they'd never seen one before. Don't miss this opportunity to use the island's enchantment, to once again renew your love and commitment for each other.
