Wedding dreams come true at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa. Whether it�s a beachside ceremony at sunset or a morning celebration in a lush, blossom-scented gazebo, The Westin Maui�s �Celebrations of Aloha�� wedding center helps couples create the perfect romantic event to celebrate their love.

The full-service center is headed by Tina Canderle, Hawaii�s only Director of Romance�. �We believe no detail is too small and no request too big to make dreams come true, whether it�s for the perfect wedding or a loving vow renewal,� says Canderle. Wedding coordinators tend to a couple�s every need, from securing Hawaiian flowers for bouquets to finding a photographer who can perfectly capture the excitement of the day. Canderle and her staff also coordinate receptions of any size and rehearsal dinners for family and friends.

�Couples are swept off their feet by our wedding coordinators,� boasts Craig Anderson, general manager of The Westin Maui. �Most hotels direct weddings to a catering office, but brides really need that personalized attention, so we made it a custom department all of its own� Pre-set wedding packages are priced from $3,375 to $5,600 and couples can customize their ceremony and also select from an additional a la carte menu of options.
