PLANNING & DESIGN
Mauna Creative is Hawaii's wedding planning company, bringing unique style, attentiveness, and inspiration to Maui weddings, Lanai weddings , Kauai weddings and beyond. We are a luxury wedding design and planning company with roots in the mountains (Mauna) from our award-winning sister company, Gemini Event Planning, one of the highest-regarded companies in Colorado. We apply our experience and collaborative approach to create incomparable events of all sizes and visions, because we believe the planning process should be as enjoyable and stress-free as the event itself. Our team works intimately with each client, spotlighting the focus of every event on not just its appearance, but the feeling it evokes and the lasting memories it creates.
We work hard to foster each client’s wedding dreams, often cultivating lasting bonds with our clients that continue past the events themselves. Our emphasis on authenticity in relationships extends to event vendors as well - we do not take any compensation from other vendors for recommendations and referrals. Instead, we provide recommendations based on our clients’ individual vision, goals, and preferences, and refer vendors based on their work ethic and quality. This structure sets us apart from many in the event industry.
As the Director of Education for WIPA (Wedding Industry Professional Association) in Colorado, we are held to the highest standards and have a work process that leads by example in the industry, always ensuring exquisite outcomes for the clients and the vendor team alike.
WE BELIEVE IN
Kindness being paramount with both our clients and vendors
Ethical work practices and being leaders in our industry
Curating events unique to each couple and investing the time to create such
Environmental friendly events that are stunning and also leave a minimal imprint

Kelsey and Elliott are from Colorado and connected with Mauna Creative, who is both Colorado and Maui based, before finding their venue and together we decided the Ritz Carlton was the perfect venue for their early January wedding post holidays, what better place to escape the Colorado snow and start the new year! Their vibe was a blend of elegant and tropical and they are vibrant, joyful people and wanted to reflect that in their colors. The florals by Asa florals reflected that with more color than our more traditional weddings and brought a vision to life that was bright and celebratory.
