Set against the golden shores of Wailea, this coastal welcome reception was designed as an ode to Maui’s natural beauty — where hues of sea glass, sand, and sky came together beneath swaying palms. Guests were greeted with a custom lei wall and soft Hawaiian acoustic music drifting through the breeze, a moment of aloha to begin the weekend. Rattan textures and soft linen blues framed the table, where a five-course menu by the Four Seasons celebrated island flavors and artistry. Each guest received a high-touch welcome bag complete with personalized haikus and local treasures. A glimpse of paradise to begin the celebration — and just a sneak peek before the full gallery arrives.
