Have your wedding ceremony on one of Hawaii's picturesque beaches.
Hawaii is well-known for its picturesque mountains, perfect surfing conditions, hula dancing, miles of white sand beaches and its trademark Aloha spirit. According to gohawaii.com, Hawaii is one of the youngest geological formations in the world, the youngest state in the union and home to the only royal palace on American soil. It's no wonder that many couples choose to say "I do" on one of Hawaii's beautiful beaches.
Oahu
Magic Island, which sits just outside Waikiki, inside Ala Moana Beach Park, is a great location for a Hawaiian beach wedding. Although this man-made peninsula is a popular beach, it has large enough space to provide a private wedding oasis away from the peering eyes of tourists. It offers an unobstructed view of Diamond Head, has plenty of sunset light all year long, has flat lawn areas for the wedding ceremony, offers ample parking (weekdays are best), easy access for wedding guests and is within close proximity to the hotels on Waikiki.
Maui
Kapalua, which loosely translated means "arms embracing the sea," consists of five bays and three white-sand beaches. The Ritz-Carlton at Kapalua, offering breathtaking views of the neighboring islands of Moloka'i and Lana'i, is a popular wedding location. The Ritz-Carlton hosts weddings ranging from traditional chapel ceremonies to beachfront luaus. Weddings guests can enjoy a cocktail reception in The Anuenue Room or sip champagne on the Beach House Lawn as they gaze into the ocean. The spacious resort offers more than 150,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event areas. The Ritz-Carlton sits on 54 acres of land with the Pacific ocean as its backdrop, making it the perfect location for a Hawaiian wedding.
Kohala Coast, Hawaii
The Fairmont Orchid Resort, located in Mauna Lani, Hawaii on the Kohala Coast of the Big Island is a great setting for a Hawaiian wedding. The resort features a variety of indoor and outdoor venues for the wedding ceremony, scenery which includes waterfalls and oceanfront views that provide a memorable backdrop for your special day. The resort also offers a luxurious Hawaiian "Spa Without Walls" which extends into a full Salon and 24-hour Fitness Center, a 10,000-square-foot oceanfront swimming pool, tennis courts, and a 36-hole golf course for guests to enjoy, making it the perfect location for the wedding and the honeymoon.
North Shore, Hawaii
Beach weddings at the Turtle Bay Resort offer a backdrop of palm trees and blue ocean vistas. Ceremonies can be held in the Wedding Pavilion, Turtle Bay's glass-walled sanctuary, with the Pacific Ocean just a bouquet toss away or outside at Turtle Bay's Kuilima Point under the resort's Trellis Arch. Turtle Bay Resort, located on the north shore of Oahu, offers all-inclusive day or night wedding packages. Couples may also choose the Hawaii honeymoon experience complete with luxury oceanfront accommodations. The resort provides table linens, fine cuisine, elegant floral arrangements, attentive wedding staff and live entertainment for the event.
