Getting Married in Hawaii

Hawaii Destination Wedding – Getting Married in Paradise

When it comes to destination weddings, you could go to many places. We’re biased, but few people would argue against a Hawaii destination wedding or vow renewal. It has everything you could want: natural beauty, friendly people, tons to do, and world-class cuisine, and we know the best places to get married in Hawaii. Hawaii truly is paradise.

Why Have a Destination Wedding in Hawaii?

Hawaii is the best spot for a destination wedding for several reasons. From a sunrise wedding to a sunset wedding, and everything in between. Here are the top reasons we hear from our couples:

1. Amazing Hawaii Wedding Photos!

Picture yourself in wedding attire on one of the world’s best beaches. Your cameraman is shooting away, and your videographer has the tape rolling. It’s a postcard moment, and you look terrific. Everything from the comforting breeze to your fresh Hawaiian bouquet is perfect.

Maybe you’re eloping in Hawaii, and it’s just the two of you. Perhaps you’ve got a big wedding party. Either way, you’re in one of the most beautiful spots on earth and will have the photos to remember for the rest of your life. 

It’s no wonder our Facebook and Instagram pages are so popular. Not only do photos provide inspiration, but they can also show you how easy it is to make a Hawaiian beach wedding possible.

Weddings of Hawaii has been helping coordinate some of the most unique island weddings since 1978. We take pride in the distinctive atmosphere and the unforgettable memories we help couples create.

2. A Hawaiian Destination Wedding is More Affordable Than You Think

Costs vary depending on the type of wedding you’re looking for. Large hotel weddings are quite expensive, yet Oahu wedding packages can be done for a couple of hundred dollars. And, of course, there’s everything in between. 

Here at Weddings of Hawaii, we work with many budget-conscious couples who are often looking to plan an affordable destination wedding. Fortunately, a Hawaiian beach wedding is usually cheaper than a traditional wedding, even after factoring in travel costs. 

We have an article about the cost of a Hawaii wedding to help you plan. Would you believe a flight for two, a hotel, and a wedding ceremony can cost around $5,000, give or take? Some couples do it for less, and many do it for more. Still, a Hawaii destination wedding is usually much cheaper than many people expect.

We provide something for every budget level, and our coordinators are always happy to answer any questions.

3. With a Hawaii Wedding, You’re Instantly on Your Honeymoon

Why not combine a dream wedding with a dream vacation?

Getting married in Hawaii means you can start the day by the pool or with a stroll on the beach. You can catch some morning waves in Waikiki. You can stroll through the shops at Ala Moana Shopping Center, the largest open-air shopping mall in the world, or you could even get ambitious and hike to the top of Diamond Head, but we’d recommend saving that for another day 😉

We have many recommendations for things to do on Oahu and love giving tips for whatever you’re looking for.

Many people count their wedding day as one of the most incredible days of their lives. However, for couples who marry in Hawaii, their wedding is often one of the most fantastic weeks of their lives. 

With so much to do on the islands, it’s no surprise so many couples choose Hawaii.

There’s a reason our motto is “Don’t stress. Just get dressed…and we’ll do the rest.” And we even have tips on getting dressed!
