The Olowalu Plantation House was built in 1922 and was originally used as a plantation manager's home. It is a classic example of the traditional Hawaiian plantation-style architecture. The house was designed with a breezy and open layout to help combat the tropical heat. The high ceilings, large lanais, and wide verandas help to create a sense of spaciousness and natural light, making it the perfect venue for a wedding.

The venue was restored in 2000, maintaining its original charm and elegance, while adding modern amenities. It now boasts a commercial kitchen, restrooms, and a large parking area. Despite the modern additions, the plantation house retains its historic charm, making it a unique and romantic location for a wedding.

Located on the west coast of Maui, the Olowalu Plantation House offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai. The venue is situated on a sprawling 2.5-acre estate that is surrounded by lush gardens and towering palm trees. It is also just a short distance from some of the island's most popular tourist destinations, such as Lahaina and Kaanapali, making it easy for guests to explore the island.

The venue has an approved vendor list, and couples are required to select and hire vendors from their list to organize their wedding at the property. They also require brides to hire a wedding planner from their approved vendors list for the day-of, even if you have already hired a planner who is not part of their approved list.

Rental for the house and the property alone start at $3,000 and can go as high as $10,000 depending on the day of the wedding and the time block preferred and length of the celebration. A 10% refundable security deposit is also required to book the venue which will be refunded the first week of the following month after the wedding.

Parking stalls are available on the property and can accommodate 30-40 vehicles. The main house can also be used by the bride, groom, and wedding party to prepare, but is limited to 20 people.
