Can you book a Maui luau for a wedding reception?

Yes. Most major Maui luaus accept group bookings for wedding receptions. Options include reserved table blocks inside a regular public show, and full private buyouts of the venue. Grand Wailea, Old Lahaina Luau, and Andaz Maui are the three venues most experienced with wedding-reception-scale bookings.

How many guests can a Maui luau accommodate?

Seated capacity ranges from about 150 (Feast at Mokapu at Andaz Maui, Feast at Lele) up to about 425 (Old Lahaina Luau). The Lū'au at Grand Wailea seats approximately 400. For groups over 100, book at least 90 days in advance.

How much does a group Maui luau booking cost?

Per-person pricing for a group typically matches the venue's published rate, plus a group booking service fee and gratuity. Expect $145 to $170 per person at Old Lahaina Luau, $210 to $260 at Andaz Maui or Feast at Lele, and $300 to $360 at Grand Wailea. Private buyouts require a food and beverage minimum.

How far in advance should we book a Maui luau for a wedding reception?

For groups over 20, book at least 60 days out. For groups over 100 or any full buyout, book 6 to 9 months out. Peak wedding season (April to October) fills earliest.

Why do these Maui luaus fit best for groups and weddings?

Group and wedding reception bookings at Maui luaus range from a block of reserved tables inside a regular show up to full private buyouts of the venue. The right choice depends on group size, budget per person, and whether the wedding party wants a shared program with other guests (block booking) or a private event with a custom flow (buyout).

How did we pick these luaus?

We ranked group and wedding options on seated capacity (needs to accommodate the whole guest list), private buyout availability, food format that scales gracefully to 50-plus guests, and location accessibility for out-of-town wedding guests. All three venues below can accommodate wedding-reception-scale bookings with advance notice.

Which Maui luau is best?

Grand Wailea is the largest and most polished for wedding receptions. Old Lahaina Luau is the largest traditional format and works well for cultural family reunions. Feast at Mokapu is the sweet spot for full buyouts (50 to 150 guests) with a chef-driven plated menu.
