Sheraton Moana Surfrider Wedding Chapel
The Moana ocean chapel is set-up within the elegant ambiance of the Grand Salon, directly overlooking the crystal blue waters of Waikiki Beach. The hotel installed a magnificent stained glass window measuring four and a half feet across and nine and a half feet tall, set between two columns with ocean views on either side. A white aisle runner is centered between rows of white pews, and can accommodate small or large weddings.

Measuring 3,240 square feet, the Grand Salon can accommodate up to 200 guests. The Moana ocean chapel wedding package includes the services of a minister, harpist and wedding coordinator. Amenities include a fresh flower bridal bouquet, boutonniere, wedding gift, personalized wedding cake, champagne toast, floral décor, lithograph of the marriage blessing, and a romantic dinner for two at the Ship’s Tavern restaurant. From the booking of the minister to the set-up and décor of the chapel, this package includes all the services and amenities mentioned for $1,950 inclusive.
I seen this one and this would actually be one of my top 5 choices and another one I like is St. John's Episcopal Church $650 this one also can accommodate large groups of people is located in Kula with breathtaking bi-coastal views of Maui. Or Maria Lanakila Catholic Church this one is a very beautiful and elegant church with a vaulted ceiling is just stunning. Located in Lahaina.
There are numerous wedding packages in Hawaii to choose from when planning your special day. Kauai and Maui remain the top choices for wedding locations and both islands offer plenty of options. Maui resorts such as the Four Seasons at Wailea provide a nice selection of packages to choose from for Maui weddings. Each package is unique and offers all the basics and more including a personal wedding specialist, an officiant, garden chairs for guests, a musician and accommodations. Some wedding packages in Hawaii offer such things as massages for two, a choice in Hawaii tours, shuttles to a selection of Maui attractions and more.

Aloha Sassylady, If by some chance you are looking for a place on Maui and not the big island I have a couple of suggestions.

1. Grand Wailea Hotel - has a beautiful chappel on its ground, amazing swimming pools and ocean front ambiance. Very pricy
2. Less pricey but still South Maui (I love this area for island feel) is the small church just off Makena Rd called the Keawal'i Church - It is a congregational church and does a nice job with weddings. Location is soooo old Hawaiian with tropical grounds and ocean views and very close to the Prince Hotel. and many south maui condos.
3. I know a wonderful Hawaiian minister, Reverend Alapaki. He is everything I love about the Hawaiian people - caring, gentle, wonderful voice etc.. He lives not far from me in Kihei and his wife is also a wedding planner should you need more help with things.

I am not yet allowed to give links but I think I've given you enough info to use Google and find the places I'm describing. The islands of Hawaii are such a special place for destination weddings and south maui condos by owner rentals are a very reasonable way for guests to stay.
