Seabury Hall School is one of Maui’s most unexpected and visually stunning venues, especially for couples drawn to historic architecture, expansive landscapes, and cooler upcountry air. While it is primarily a private school, the campus itself feels more like a preserved estate, filled with picturesque buildings, rolling lawns, and some of the most sweeping bi-coastal views on the island.

If you’re dreaming of a Maui wedding that feels elevated, different, and deeply connected to place, with panoramic views stretching across the island, golden sunsets, and star-filled skies, Seabury Hall is absolutely worth exploring. There may be certain restrictions or limitations around when weddings are allowed or who may host them, but couples who take the time to inquire are often rewarded with a truly one-of-a-kind setting.

The campus features historic stone and wood structures, open green spaces, and natural vantage points that offer both ocean and mountain views, something very few Maui venues can offer. The upcountry location means cooler temperatures, softer light, and a peaceful, grounded atmosphere that feels far removed from the busier resort areas.

Sunsets from Seabury Hall are spectacular, with light washing over both sides of the island, followed by some of the best stargazing Maui has to offer, making evening portraits especially magical.

The venue is located in upcountry Maui, above Makawao, offering a completely different experience than beachfront or resort weddings while still showcasing Maui’s natural beauty in a powerful way.

Frequently asked questions

Is Seabury Hall primarily a school?

Yes. Seabury Hall is an active private school, which means weddings are not their primary use. Events are typically limited to certain times of year or specific circumstances, so it’s important to inquire directly for current availability and guidelines.

Is it too large for a smaller wedding?

Not at all. While the campus is expansive, there are specific areas that work beautifully for intimate ceremonies, allowing smaller groups to feel grounded and intentional rather than lost in a large space.

What is the cost?

Pricing varies depending on the scope of the event, locations used, and requirements set by the school. Couples should contact Seabury Hall directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Is a wedding planner required?

A professional wedding planner is highly recommended and may be required depending on the event details, especially due to the unique nature of hosting a wedding on an active school campus.

What is the weather like?

One of the biggest advantages of Seabury Hall is the cooler upcountry climate. Temperatures are typically more comfortable than coastal venues, with refreshing breezes, softer light, and far less humidity—ideal for both guests and photography.

Is it conveniently located?

Seabury Hall is located in Makawao, approximately 35–40 minutes from Kihei and 45–50 minutes from Wailea. Staying in upcountry Maui or on the south side of the island offers the most convenient access for the wedding day, west side accommodations require travel time of an hour or more.

What is included?

Inclusions vary based on the approved event plan and areas used. Because this is a non-traditional wedding venue, details such as access, timing, and amenities are determined through direct coordination with the school.

Is there guest parking?

Parking logistics are determined on a case-by-case basis. Shuttle services may be required depending on guest count and event location on campus.

If you’re searching for a Maui wedding venue that feels elevated, unexpected, and deeply special, Seabury Hall School is one of the most unique options on the island.
