Dream Destination Weddings Won’t Break the Bank at Aston Kaanapali Shores

HONOLULU, HI (Aug. 11, 2009) – Coordinating a fairytale destination wedding in one of the top-rated romance locations in the world doesn’t have to break the bank. Budget-savvy couples are selecting Aston Kaanapali Shores as the ideal venue due to its deluxe condominium accommodations and wedding coordination services on world-famous Kaanapali Beach. Priced within reach for most engaged couples and guests, the property offers beachfront suites, a secluded setting for wedding ceremonies, private areas for bridal showers or bachelor parties, and on-site activities to suit every guest’s needs.

 

Rates start at $140 per night for a studio and are valid for travel now through Dec. 21, 2009. Aston doesn’t charge for additional guests using existing bedding in condominium resort suites, so families or groups of friends can save even more by sharing a two-bedroom and two-bathroom unit that sleeps up to seven guests.

 

Marcie Westbrooks, who was married at the resort in March 2009, says: “My husband and I selected Aston Kaanapali Shores for our wedding because the venue was what we envisioned for our ceremony: a private and romantic beach setting. The backdrop was an important element of our wedding, which we didn’t find at any other venue.”

 

Westbrooks continues: “During our stay, my husband and I hosted BBQs on-site providing the opportunity for our family and friends to get to know each other better. We also appreciated the feeling of being in a remote area, yet we were close enough to enjoy nearby activities. For example, one evening we gathered our family and friends and took cabs to experience the popular Old Lahaina Luau.”

 

To ease any wedding day anxieties, Aston Kaanapali Shores employs a wedding planner who can help brides handle last minute requests to ensure a flawless celebration. Under the resort’s white lattice gazebo – which can be decorated with red, heart-shaped anthuriums – vows are shared as family and friends watch the two individuals being joined as one. Following the ceremony, the couple may choose to celebrate beneath a tented reception on the lawn, taking their first dance together as the evening sun fades into sunset.

 

Wedding packages range from $680 to $3,000 and vary for services such as coordination and consulting, professional wedding photography, licensing assistance, selecting a Hawaiian minister, and hair/make-up for the bride.

 

Leading up to the big day, wedding parties can take advantage of on-site locations including outdoor poolside pavilions or expansive lawns. These amenities, which don’t require a fee or a reservation, are well-equipped settings to host a rehearsal luau, themed bridal shower or a bachelor party barbecue.

 

Wedding parties seeking a full Maui experience will find additional value in Aston’s free Aloha Book with offers worth up to $2,000 in savings on dining, shopping and activities. The book, which doubled in value from 2008, also serves as a guide to some of the best culture, history, cuisine and attractions on the island.

 

This rate is valid for travel through Dec. 21, 2009 and may not be combined with other programs, specials or discounts. Prices do not include tax and are subject to change without notice. Blackout dates and some restrictions may apply. Visit AstonHotels.com for more information.
