The couple got married at the White House in Lahaina with a fully catered reception after the wedding. In addition to a gorgeous wedding location, the White House offers a casual oceanfront location in Lahaina suitable for both the wedding ceremony and the Maui wedding reception. Only a short distance from all Kaanapali resorts and the catering kitchen at our restaurant in Kaanapali. The wedding ceremony was held under our driftwood chuppah wrapped in pink and red bougainvillea flowers. Cobalt Blue glass ware accented the white linen tablecloths with lime green runners extending the full length of the Kings table.

A Kings Table seating arrangement with guests at the same table is one of the many benefits we love about weddings at the oceanfront Maui wedding estate in Lahaina. The bride, or in this case the brides, are able to use the changing rooms in the estate to prepare for their wedding. The upstairs balcony of the oceanfront wedding venue also provides a stunning location for a wedding photograph to capture all the guests who attended the wedding. The wedding cake included pink plumeria flowers and others matching the table runners. After the catered wedding menu, we’ve included some of those fees.

Upgrades for linen napkins and table runners; padded chairs, kings tables, high boys with linens, cake tables and other upgraded wedding rentals with delivery came to $1050 for the wedding described here. Factor in additional expenses for wedding bridal flowers and centerpieces, the cost of the wedding officiate, professional wedding photography, a wedding cake and the wedding venue fee.

Flowers for the chuppah begin at $100 for simple lei and range upwards. For wedding venue fees, expect to pay The White House estate wedding location at least $2000 for a site fee or consider utilizing their wedding guest accommodations.

The couple in the wedding above saved by providing their own alcohol and utilizing our licensed bartender to serve wedding guests. We also supplied a sound box speaker rental for $25 used for announcements. Later, the couple connected their own play lists to provide wedding reception music. Though we enjoy the ambiance a wedding dj provides and their ability to set the tone of the party, for affordable weddings in smaller wedding venues a lightweight speaker and a small bit of DIY wedding planning to assemble a music play is all that is necessary.
