Time to breakout the fancy clothes! Dress code is upscale fashionable attire, so dress to impress. There will be group photos with all family and friends to commemorate the special day. The ceremony is on the lawn, so please choose shoes accordingly. Kapalua experiences multiple climates in a day, and is known for its constant breezes. There is usually warm heat in the afternoon, and cooler weather later in the evening. There’s always a chance of sprinkles in Hawaii, called love drops.

To maintain an intimate and romantic wedding moment for everyone, the bride and groom have requested no one under the age of 18 attend the ceremony/reception. There is a wonderful nanny service on the island, if you wish to bring young children on your trip. Book early at thenannyconnection.com.

The wedding will be held at Montage Kapalua Bay on the westside of Maui, Hawaii. Kapalua is slightly north of the more touristy cities of Lahaina and Kaanapali. Be aware, Wailea and Kihei are a good 45-minute drive to Kapalua, but also offer additional places to stay.

Yes! The hashtag is #wheelerwedding2022. Using this hashtag will group all Instagram photos into one place, where we can all easily search to view before, during and after the wedding.

Edward and Melissa are planning a welcome reception Friday night, November 18, with an optional group outing Saturday, November 19. Additional details to follow.

The average high temperature on November 20th is 82 degrees, with the average low in the evening of 70 degrees. It can get chilly at night due to the breezy trade winds. The sun is scheduled to set at 5:45 pm that day.

There are many restaurant options on the island, from local Hawaiian food to known favorites such as Ruth’s Chris and Roy’s Restaurant. Book early, as reservations go quickly. Seafood is the popular favorite in Hawaii due to its proximity to the water. Shop local. The majority of mainland items are shipped over at higher prices, and can get expensive. There is a Costco near the airport and plenty of grocery stores on West Maui near Kapalua.

Because of the easterly trade winds, there is a steady breeze throughout the island that deceptively cools the heat before hitting your body. But due to the Hawaiian islands proximity to the equator, the sun's rays are much stronger than what you might experience at home. Take caution prior to the big day with higher SPF sunscreen and frequent application, even if you do not feel hot.

Montage Kapalua Bay is located on the north end of Maui in Kapalua. The resort offers valet parking for $15. However, the wedding couple would like to strongly encourage everyone who is partaking from the open bar to please use a rideshare service, such as Uber or Lyft. Kindly drink responsibly. Mahalo!

This is personal preference. There are rental car locations on-site at the airport. Jeeps are a popular option, if planning to visit the Road to Hana or the dormant volcano, Haleakalā. The average cost of gas in Hawaii is currently $5.50 per gallon.
