Shane truly exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful and meaningful to all of us. Wayne (music) was amazing and fun! He helped to get the attendees involved in the celebration. All of my emails, texts, etc were responded to almost immediately and so efficiently. We didn't have to think about a thing, it was all taken care of for us. It was worth every penny. read more

This was the most incredible experience of my life! Shane and team are 1000/10. They are incredible compassionate, caring, and professional. The most special thing about our ceremony was being able to finally unite as one officially in such a beautiful place, surrounded by only each other on what was the most perfect, secluded beach. Shane, our officiant, was so incredible and made us feel our big moment in every way imaginable. I truly felt like taking photos together was really fun and those are moments that we will never forget. I don't think I can do this venue justice with a review alone--so, I'll have to add these incredible photos to really show you how incredible this was. What a masterful job Shane and the team did on our wedding ceremony and photography. We are so excited that we got the opportunity to get married on Maui with the best team ever! If you're thinking of getting married in Maui, is Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding all the way. You don't have to look anywhere else. read more

I lOVE this amazing group of people Maui Barefoot Weddings did such an amazing job. Our beach wedding at Makena Cove was so beautiful and absolutely perfect. It could not have been any better! If I could give 100 stars stars I would. Shane performed the ceremony masterfully. He is so wonderful and down to earth. He is an excellent photographer. OMG the pictures are gorgeous. His food recommendations are so on point!! and he has quite the set of lungs! (you'll notice when he blows the conch shell at the beginning of the ceremony). You HAVE to book Wayne. His ukulele playing adds the perfect touch He performed a traditional Hawaiian blessing which made the experience just... magical . This was the best experience of my life. Thank you all so so much read more

OMG, so much aloha! My brother in law ask me to help him set up a surprise 50th vow renewal during their island visit in January. I found Affordable Barefoot Maui Weddings after reading the reviews. I contacted Shane and explained to him what I was seeking. Everything he described to me about their ceremonies was everything I was looking for to the T. From the vows, to the conch blowing ( Hawaiian traditional announcement) to the beautiful photography, they do it all at such an affordable price! Shane was very responsive with every text/ email I would send with questions and request. On the day of our ceremony on Palauea Beach, Shane appeared on time, approached our location and immediately began speaking to my sister and brother in law, confirming by saying there is much aloha to have been married 50 years. The surprise could not have been better tailored as my sister was so surprised she began crying. Shane spoke directly to them with eloquent words of amazing milestone of their marriage. He began by blowing the conch to announce the moment. Shane then read them each the vows and spoke to them of how Hawaiians honor marriage in family tradition. Shane took many photos and provided them on an external drive well packaged along with a printout of the vows and a marriage certification that can be displayed to commemorate the day. If you are looking for a real Hawaiian designed ceremony, I highly recommend Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding. They are so understanding and professional, but most of all they are very personal to your ceremony as if they known you for ever. To Shane, "Mahalo" , I could not of asked for a better official to perform this ceremonial milestone. This will be a memory for the rest of their life! read more

Shane was amazing! From picking the perfect location, the flowers, to his photography skills we couldn't have been more pleased! The ceremony was beautiful and very touching! He took care of everything! You won't be disappointed! Mahalo Shane for making our day extra special! read more

When my Bill and I decided to elope, we explored various options for our ceremony and ultimately chose Barefoot Maui Weddings. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The team's genuine and heartfelt dedication was evident in every detail of our special day. Shane took the time to learn our story and connection, weaving it beautifully into the ceremony. The vows, crafted over years by Shane and his Dad, were incredibly heartfelt and resonated with us deeply as if they were written just for us. Adding to the enchantment, Wayne joined with his ukulele and musical talents, elevating our ceremony even more. AJ, the photographer took special care to make sure she captured our experience perfectly. We are so pleased with all the beautiful photos. We anticipated something magical, but Shane, Wayne, AJ, and Shauna surpassed all expectations, making our day the most unforgettable and cherished celebration. Thank you all for creating such a memorable experience for us! Aloha nui i nā mea a pau. Bill and Nancy, Secret Cove at Makena Beach, 4.2.24 read more

Our original wedding got Canceled due to Covid back in June. My now husband and I were having such a hard time re-planning another wedding with all the Covid restrictions..etc. So one day I decided that we're going to go to Maui to elope! Why not right... this wedding is supposed to be about us the, bride and the groom not anyone else and we didn't want to wait until 2021 to get married. I had found affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding's here on yelp and also looked them up on Google which they have amazing reviews on Google and I can totally see why they have the reviews they do. Literally everything was done via email, I communicated mostly with Sarah who was super super sweet and helpful with all the crazy questions that I was asking. This company offered everything that we were looking for and much more doing an elopement wedding. They were very easy to communicate with, gave advice on the do's and don't. For example what to wear what not to wear what hairstyle would help due to the weather what make up would look nice in the pictures due to weather and time of day, what time of the day would be prefect for the ceremony and much more unexpected advice that was so helpful. Shane the officiant was just great! For some reason I was expecting some old-school guy, I don't know why, but Shane made the ceremony very memorable very sweet, something I will probably never forget even though it was so hard for me to focus with finally getting married and the location at Makena Cove was just gorgeous, I was just overwhelmed with happiness. During the wedding Katherine took pictures and After the ceremony we had a photo session with Shane and he had some great poses that he suggested and the photos came out absolutely beautiful. I totally recommend this family owned business for your wedding. Everyone was Super friendly! read more

From the very beginning communication has always been amazing. They made planning this process so easy. We did the photographers package $1,799 i believe. They took so many pictures and we added the ukulele player and the video! They had all the pictures on two flash drives before we left the beach and we were able to look at them at dinner!! The video was also ready not even 12 hours later! Just an amazing company and our family is using them in October then May next year! We loved Shane and couldn't have asked for a better day! We had a group of 28 people and they were so awesome in including everyone in everything!! Highly recommend booking with this company!! read more

If I had a Conch shell, I'd blow it right now to start this review because I'd like everyone who is considering getting married in Maui to consider Affordable Barefoot Maui Weddings. Before I write paragraphs about how great the experience was, I want to recommend Shane. He was the reason our experience was so awesome. You can tell he is passionate about what he is doing. You can tell he really cared about our ceremony. His enthusiasm and spirit made us smile through the whole ceremony. He even loves his job so much he took 250+ photos of us and we only signed up for 100. I was expecting my wedding day to be a little stressful, however, Shane made it such a relaxing experience so we could enjoy our special moment. The value we received for the amount of money we paid was mind-blowing. We were married in the most beautiful place on Earth and it was around $700-$750. We put a small deposit down when we scheduled, then we paid the rest when we showed up that day. We received a flash drive and disc with our photos after the ceremony. The service was amazing! Although there wasn't that much back and forth because it was a streamlined process, when we called, they picked up on the first try. We also received responses same day to e-mails. They made recommendations about when and where we should do the ceremony. They set us up with a place we could get ready nearby. They gave us great ideas about where to go around town. I'll never forget this day. The process, people, and pictures were exactly what I would have wanted for our special day. read more

The ceremony was a 5+. Shane did a wonderful, personal ceremony. I thought we'd be rushed through with the most inexpensive package, but not at all! He was lovely and joyful and made our day special and fantastic! In addition, the photos were amazing! I had so many people ask about the photography. My sister thought they must have been photoshopped! :) read more

If you're getting married in Maui, look no further for your wedding officiant. Our ceremony was performed by Shane in December and it was absolutely perfect. The ceremony was very heartfelt and could not have been a better fit for us. The fact that we were also able to get our photography taken care of by not one, but TWO photographers, was also a huge bonus. The photos also turned out really well despite being given to us unretouched. I'd also like to add that Makena Cove is a dream location to get married. If you're on the fence on the selection of where to perform the ceremony, don't be. I'm pretty certain Makena Cove is perfection no matter what time of day you choose to have your ceremony. Overall, we were really pleased with our selection to have Affordable Barefoot Maui Weddings perform our ceremony and cannot recommend them enough. Mahalo! read more

Everyone that we dealt with made our 25th anniversary vow renewal a beautiful and memorable celebration. Their recommendations in the planning and the actual day of our ceremony were appreciated. Our ceremony was perfect and exceeded our ex. The location was breathtaking, Shane was amazing as he officiated and the pictures definitely captured our special day. With multiple photographers, memories were captured from different angles which allowed us to see things from different perspectives and have numerous quality images, more than we thought we'd like. read more

Sarah was super helpful throughout the planning process. She responded in a timely manner and provided tons of helpful info. This was super important as we are located in Vegas and planning without being able to see anything there in Maui. Shane and Catherine were also fabulous throughout our ceremony and photo session. Our ceremony was beautiful, the location stunning and we love our photos! read more

I have not had the pleasure meeting these amazing people in person yet since our wedding isn't until June but what I can tell you is that I have been in constant contact with them throughout this entire process. They have been right there responding almost immediately to any question I may have I also called and set up hair and makeup with Gene, she was a recommendation from Sarah and she was very pleasant on the phone assuring me that everything will be on point and I could use her bathroom to get my dress on. Will continue my review after the wedding. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I had the pleasure meeting Shane as he married us on June 2nd. This has to be one of the best experiences for both my husband and I. I was 20 minutes late meeting Shane and my soon to be husband, he was chill and just hung out with him & my friends until I arrived, he was then patient enough to wait for joe to get his wedding attire on as I had his stuff in my car. Once we arrived to the beach site, Shane was patient and walked us through everything. We had decided early on that we wanted to do the trash the dress photos, Shane asked what types of photos I would like him to shoot and he made my dreams come true! Shane also got into the ocean and sand getting the best possible photos for us to treasure for many many years to come. I decided to also have 2 photographers to make sure I could capture every picture. Thanks to the entire team! I will be back to get renewal photos. Gene Marie in Kihei was also top notch as she did my makeup and hair on point. I definitely recommend using her to make your special day even more relaxing. I also dropped my wedding dress off at Alii dry cleaning in Lahaina, they were able to get all of the sand out of my wedding dress and clean it within 5 days. Reasonably priced, was able to get it done for $160. read more

My wedding was absolutely perfect! When friends and family who weren't able to make it to our ceremony ask me how it was, I tell them it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to and I'm just lucky enough that it was mine. Shane and the team were excellent communicators and when it came to the big day, every aspect of the wedding and then some was photographed. Shane was incredibly enthusiastic and genuinely nice. Several attendees remarked on how much they loved and believed his enthusiasm. You can tell he really loves what he does. Our photographs are stunning. It was so hard choosing which ones to hang in our home and which ones to put in an album. October 17th, 2019 was the best day of my life and Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding was a huge factor in that! read more

We couldn't have found a better company to help with our 10 year wedding vow renewal. It was a small ceremony with just our immediate family but the preparation and authenticity would've translated to a larger gathering. Shane was a professional, and the pictures are fantastic. Highly recommend Affordable Barefoot Maui Weddings! read more

We just left Shane!! We loved him! It was exactly the simple, yet meaningful beach ceremony we wanted. Haven't looked at photos yet but the experience was lovely!!! read more

Absolutely recommend them! They provided recommendations for hair and makeup, restaurants, activities on the island, and other helpful tips. They communicated with us so quickly and were very professional. Shane was our officiant and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! He added personal touches to our ceremony and it was beautifully done, with a few well-timed jokes that made it even more memorable. He offered suggestions of things to do on the island and took such beautiful photos! We had a wonderful experience with them and will probably use them again when we come back to renew our vows. read more

Affordable Barefoot Weddings did an amazing job for our vow renewal for our 25th wedding anniversary. Sarah, Shane and Catherine were amazing. Sarah was very responsive to all of my many questions via email. Shane conducted the ceremony seamlessly and pics taken by both Shane and Catherine were amazing.

Eric, Sarah, and Shane are a superb value. I researched quite a few wedding services around the island and this business gives you much more for the price (the nearest competitor was over $500 more). They catered to our specific needs and helped us out with special requests. I wanted my photos in a specific format which they happily did and they even let me borrow one of their tripods free of charge so I could set up my own camera and video the wedding. What's even better is that two photographers are automatically included in the package, not just one. There was never any pressure to hurry or pay more for add-ons, just a great, great company to work with. Response time couldn't be beat! Thank you for making our wedding so special! read more

Can't say enough about how awesome Shane, Eric, Sara and the team were!

We renewed our wedding vows in June 2016 on Maui. I chose Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding because the packages were reasonable and Sarah and Eric were easy to work with. We got the Hawaiian Themed Ceremony and Photography package and added on the Tropical Bouquet. The ceremony was beautiful and the pictures are amazing. We couldn't have asked for any better ceremony Our location was moved from Makena Cove to Secret Secret Beach (Changs Beach) the Friday before our ceremony because of the weather. Secret Secret Beach was absolutely beautiful. No complaints at all. The only problem we had, which was not Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding's fault was we stayed in Lahaina area which is an hour from Secret Secret Beach. Our ceremony was at sunset. We left an hour and half early from our meeting time at 6:00 pm but we still arrived late because of traffic. If your staying that far from the location I would say leave two to three hours early to be safe or even find a way to stay over there for the day. Eric was very accommodating with the time loss and went out of his way to make sure he got all the pictures he wanted to take. Mahalo to that for sure. Once again thank you for making our wedding perfect and memorable! T and T read more

We are so happy we chose Eric and his team for our wedding! We had such a great time. You get so much for the price. Eric is an awesome photographer as well! The photos didn't even need editing. They do everything they can to make your special day rum smoothly. The communication leading up to the big day was awesome, and I really appreciated all of the information and tips that were sent to me as well. I highly recommend Eric and his team for anyone planning to get married on Maui. Believe me, you won't regret it! read more

My partner and I are so blown away by everything. The ceremony was beautiful and just what it needed to be: short, sweet, intimate and truly a special day. Our photos are so far above and beyond what we could have imagined, and the kindness and generosity we received is humbling and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you so much!!! Over the moon about every detail. Thank you for making our trip and our big day something to remember forever. read more

Great vow renewal. My wife and I have been married for ten years and wanted to do a renewal while we were in Maui.

This was a wonderful experience and we could not be happier. We were married at the Secret Beach last October and Shane did a fantastic job! My tropical bouquet was beautiful and the ceremony was made even better with Wayne playing the ukulele. Best decision ever. Our photos were really good. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting a beautiful stress free Maui beach wedding. read more

So happy that I chose this company to help coordinate my wedding. I was so impressed with their quick and constant communication. Any time I had a question about anything at all, they were quick to send me a detailed email They put my nerves at ease when I thought there might be rain during my wedding, and took note to all of the little details that I brought up the months prior to my wedding. They helped me feel at ease and stress-free so by the time I landed in Maui, I was so excited and care-free! The day of the wedding, our officiant Shane greeted us right on time (he is so calming and illustrated the true Hawaiian spirit). He led us to the beach and helped us make last-minute decisions. We got married on Makena Cove, Secret Beach (excellent choice by this company). The ceremony ran beautifully, smooth and we got so many gorgeous and memorable photos! Shane did a wonderful job capturing every special moment with a photo. There is nothing I would change about my experience. read more

My now wife did a lot of research when we decided we would get married in Maui. We had no experiences with any one there or any one that had been married there so she called and talked to a lot of people. She read reviews online and in the end, she chose Affordable Barefoot Maui Weddings. We went in blind but Eric and Sarah were an amazing help and made everything so easy. They lined us all up, told us what we needed to do and who we needed to see once we arrived. It all went perfectly. The service was so perfect with the waves in the background and people helping out were fantastic. The photos they took were awesome and we elected to get the video as well. The video is professional and has a great intro. Anyone looking to get married in Maui, we would both highly recommend Eric, his company and his crew. They were all professional and friendly the entire time. We were very happy with our decision. Mega Mahalo Eric and Sarah. You were great!! read more

Our wedding was the wedding of our dreams, and we could not have done it without Affordable Barefoot Maui Wedding! We are so thankful we followed our gut and picked Eric. We were nervous since we live thousands of miles away, but not only was it in our budget, but they were able to work with our last minute planning. They were very patient and answered all of our 100 questions. We literally researched almost every wedding officiant and planning in maui, since we wanted it to be perfect, and they are the best hands down! When we arrived he took us the the "cove" which was just heaven on earth! I really suggest getting married in that spot. In addition, Eric was so down to earth and very friendly. Since we had no family able to make it to maui he made us feel very comfortable and at home at the beach. He also was really nice and supportive when we wanted to go a little unconventional and sing our vows to each other. Last but not least, he was an amazing photographer!!! We are totally in love with the pictures. He captured the best photos, and made sure to incorporate the beautiful nature all around us in the photos as well. So I would not miss out on his photos, you will want to remember this day forever! :) Once again thank you for making our wedding awesome!!! - Andrew and Deni read more
