Exotic yet American, scenic O'ahu, the Heart of Hawai'i®, is a tropical destination-wedding paradise. From the excitement of Waikīkī and the sophistication of Honolulu to the tranquility of the legendary North Shore, this "town and country" appeal makes planning a wedding easy. Create a wedding that says "you" by choosing a ceremony barefoot on the beach, in a quaint Hawaiian chapel, among blooms in a tropical garden, at a luxurious resort or intimately at a private estate. Add Hawaiian touches to personalize the wedding, from floral leis, to having a Kahu (Hawaiian priest) do a Hawaiian blessing, to entertaining guests with keiki (child) hula dancers, to having everyone come in aloha wear. With a wide range of bridal experts to assist, and accommodations for different guest budgets, planning for the wedding and for guests is a breeze.
Things to Do Take surf lessons in Waikīkī, the birthplace of surfing. Kayak to the scenic Mokulua islands. Be pampered by healing hands with a Hawaiian lomi lomi massage. Enjoy Hawaiian regional cuisine at renowned-chef restaurants, then dance the night away at a cutting-edge club. Attend a Hawaiian concert at the historic Hawaii Theatre. Explore historic treasures such as ‘Iolani Palace, Pearl Harbor and Shangri La.
Where to Wed Say your vows on the beach, in a quaint chapel, on a yacht, at a private estate or resort, or in a tropical garden by a waterfall.
