When choosing your event venue, it can be hard to envision the details of your dream event in that space. PartySlate is here to help. Read on to find real events held at Montage Kapalua Bay, a stunning Hawaiian resort venue. You’ll gain inspiration and begin to visualize how your event could look in this beautiful space.
We talked to the team at Montage Kapalua Bay to get insight into the flexible and customizable nature of this stunning Hawaiian venue. One of our favorite aspects of an event venue, especially if your locale is particularly beautiful, is an outdoor space – with weather-safe options of course. Lehua Swezey, Meetings & Events Manager at Montage Kapalua Bay, explains, “The best part about all of our outdoor spaces is that each event can be reimagined.”
She goes on to paint a visual of the stunning resort by saying, “Montage Kapalua Bay is located on the Island of Maui, perched on a cliff overlooking the crescent shaped Kapalua Bay. Comfortably spread across 24 acres, this oceanfront resort offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, the Islands of Lana’i, and Moloka’i.”
Montage Kapalua Bay Event Spaces
“Outdoor spaces at Montage Kapalua Bay include The Point Lawn and Namalu Lawn,” Swezey explains.
She adds, “The most unique and desired space is The Cliff House, a historic building perched on top of a cliff face that boasts 180-degree views of the Pacific with unforgettable sunsets. The Cliff House is the ideal locale for celebrations and events. The service is impeccable, with genuine care and a luxury touch that embody the ‘Aloha Spirit.’
“The Serenity Pool is also a favorite outdoor destination for our guests and is where our Sunset Luau is performed throughout the week.”
This venue is perfect for outdoor events, as Swezey notes, “The entire Point Lawn can be used for your wedding ceremony, reception, dance, and photoshoot.”

Style #1: Enchanting
This stunning and delicate event style takes the beauty of the venue’s natural surroundings and infuses it into every aspect of the event. From pastel-hued florals filling the tables to the clear-top tent covering the outdoor reception space, this event honored the venue’s beauty in every way. For a dreamy look after the sunset, string lights illuminated the ceiling of the wedding tent for a starry night feel.
Swezey notes that “all event spaces can accommodate any family gathering.” From weddings to destination birthday celebrations, Montage Kapalua Bay is a dream destination for your event.

This muted bohemian event style took elements such as floral crowns, woven lanterns, and wildflower centerpieces and blended them into an understated, yet breathtaking motif. The waves crashing behind the colorful floral arch helped set the serene tone for this wedding.

“The 40,000-square-foot Spa Montage harnesses the essence of Hawaii with an exceptional palette of spa therapies, beauty treatments, and wellness offerings inspired by the tropical surroundings.”
Style #3: Tropical Elegance
This tropical event style infused a boho style with tropical elements to create the perfect affair filled with palm fronds and pops of bright color. This stylish wedding, held on the breathtaking Point Lawn, featured one of our favorite examples of unique place cards.
