Yoori & John’s Laughter-Filled Maui Pineapple Chapel Wedding

Yoori + John’s fun celebration at the Maui Pineapple Chapel in Kapalua

Planning a destination wedding can be as thrilling as it is challenging, but when all the pieces come together, the result is pure magic. Such was the case for Yoori and John, whose dream wedding at the Pineapple Chapel in Kapalua, Maui, was an event to remember.

Yoori and John’s journey to their wedding day was a testament to patience and resilience. Originally scheduled to take place before the pandemic, their wedding was postponed several times. Ultimately, they had to find a new location when their first choice stopped holding events. They chose the picturesque Pineapple Chapel, and the Mau’u Terrace for their ceremony and cocktail hour. With stunning ocean views, the terrace provided a serene and romantic backdrop for their vows.

Yoori wore a breathtaking vintage-inspired beaded gown that sparkled with elegance and timeless beauty. Her dress set the tone for an event filled with love, joy, and laughter. The ceremony was a heartfelt exchange of vows, witnessed by family and friends who had traveled from near and far to celebrate with them. Adding to the joy, a group of their friends surprised them with a fun presentation during the ceremony, causing lots of laughter and making the day even more memorable.

Following the ceremony, guests were treated to a cocktail hour with fresh coconuts being opened on the spot and lawn games to keep everyone entertained. Marvin Tevaga’s Hawaiian music provided the perfect soundtrack to this picturesque moment.

The reception took place on the Makai Lawn under a white-topped tent adorned with a cluster of rattan lanterns over the dance floor. This chic setup created an inviting atmosphere for a night of celebration. The DJ kept the energy high, ensuring that the dance floor was never empty.

Yoori and John added personal touches that made their wedding uniquely theirs. Two specialty drinks, named after their beloved pets Lotto and Tails, were a hit with the guests. These custom cocktails were a fun and memorable way to incorporate their furry family members into the festivities. The couple chose to name their tables after places they have visited together that held a special place in their hearts. Custom table signs, seating chart and welcome sign were created just for them by Tropigal Calligraphy.

Yoori and John’s wedding was not just an event; it was a celebration of love, resilience, and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones. Their story is a beautiful reminder that even in the face of challenges, love finds a way to shine through. If you’re planning a destination wedding in Maui, let Yoori and John’s enchanting day inspire you to create your own unforgettable celebration on Maui.
