Cocktail hour on Maui looks a little different when you have the whole place to yourselves!
For Jasmine & Arthur, a private buyout at Merriman’s Kapalua meant their cocktail hour could unfold completely within their own wedding experience. No other diners, no sharing the space, just their guests enjoying cocktails, pupus, ocean views, and that first chance to celebrate together after the ceremony.
A full venue buyout can be a great option for couples who want more privacy and a seamless flow between the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It also gives you more freedom to make the space feel completely like your own.
