RIP ye olde Grand Wailea Wedding Chapel

Time marches on and nothing lasts for ever.

Not even the iconic Grand Wailea Wedding Chapel in which so many wedding couples have consecrated their marriage. In a move that would bolster the room number from the other already HUGE Grand (they must have over 800 rooms already) by and additional 310 units, the wedding chapel will be torn down and wedding ceremonies moved to the Luau grounds.

From a business perspective, it makes sense to start these renovations now, during the slow recessionary cycle, so that by the times vacation budget recover, they’ll be in full form with maximum, busting-at-the-seams capacity. Can you imagine over 1000 rooms??? Wow…

If approved, the project will start immediately and last for nearly 5 years. That will mean noise and possible inconvenience, but also perhaps some sweet deals as well for anyone who can handle the extra commotion.

If you planned your Maui wedding ceremony for the Chapel, check with your wedding coordinator to discuss alternate plans, should this renovation be confirmed and moving forward.
