A restored 1920s plantation estate in upcountry Maui. Four acres of jacaranda, eucalyptus, and uninterrupted view of Haleakalā.
Nahele Estate sits at 1,800 feet on the slopes of Haleakalā, on land that was a paniolo ranch from the 1880s through the 1950s. The main house — a 1924 plantation manager's home — was restored over five years by the current owners and reopened as an event venue in 2021.
The estate hosts 50-220 guests across multiple ceremony and reception sites: a jacaranda grove for ceremonies (best mid-March through May when the trees bloom purple), a rebuilt original lānai for cocktail hour, and a tented lawn for receptions of up to 220.
We host one event per day. Our team handles venue logistics, parking attendants, restroom trailers if needed, and a day-of point person — but we don't do full coordination. We work closely with the Maui coordinators we trust and can refer you.
Pricing varies by season and headcount. The number below is our peak-season rate for 100-150 guest weddings. We're happy to talk story about smaller events, weekday weddings, or shoulder-season pricing.

We toured every venue on Maui that fit our headcount. Nahele was our second visit and we knew immediately. The jacaranda grove was in full bloom for our March wedding — purple petals everywhere, no filter needed. The team is hospitality-bred, the property is stunning, and the one-event-per-day policy means you actually feel like the place is yours.

Hosted my dad's 60th here. He cried when he saw the lānai set up for cocktail hour. The view of Haleakalā at sunset is genuinely arresting. The team handled all the venue logistics so I could enjoy the night with my family.

I'm a Maui planner and Nahele is on the short list of venues I actively recommend. The estate team is communicative, the property is in genuinely good shape (which matters more than people realize), and they don't try to lock you into preferred-vendor lists. Refreshing.
These are starting packages. Most vendors will customize for your date, headcount, and the kind of party you're throwing — ask.
8 hours
Estate access for an intimate ceremony and dinner of up to 50 guests. Use of the lānai, jacaranda grove, and a private dining setup.
10 hours
Full estate for 50-120 guests. Includes ceremony site, cocktail lawn, tented reception lawn, and getting-ready suite.
12 hours
Exclusive estate use for up to 220 guests. Multiple-day package available.
Booked dates are pulled from the vendor's own calendar. If your date is open, you can request a quote — they'll confirm in their reply. Most events lock in 2–6 months ahead in Hawaiʻi; for May–August dates, sooner is safer.
North-shore Kauaʻi private estate. Cliff lawn for ceremonies, restored cottage for receptions of 80 or fewer.
Restored 1930s plantation hall on the windward side. Six acres, room for 200, sliding-door views of the Koʻolau.
West-side Maui wedding photography. Returned to Lahaina post-fires, committed to the recovery and the families that stayed.
