HAWAII’S BIG ISLAND IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING – IN SIZE, ACCOMMODATIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Hawaii and romance just seem to go together – the languid tropical air, the fragrant flowers, the color everywhere, the ocean shimmering in blue moonlight, the relaxed and casual ambience. It’s an ideal place for a wedding, renewal of vows or intimate honeymoon.
Every couple wants a their wedding to be special and personal, the unforgettable moment when they started out on their journey through life together. The Big Island offers wedding couples almost unlimited options, from a simple ceremony in a flowering garden or on a secluded beach to a completely customized package at a luxury resort. A sunset beach wedding on the Big Island’s west coast is one of the most popular choices, but other locations include waterfalls, forests, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park – even the summit of Maunakea. More ceremonial locations are historic Mokuaikaua Church and St. Peter’s seaside church in Kona, the rose garden at Puuopelu at Parker Ranch in Waimea, and the Japanese garden setting of Liliuokalani Park in Hilo.

Your clients can make all the arrangements themselves, or you can refer them to one of our professional wedding planners. With years of experienced, the planner can help make it easy on the couple, assisting with travel arrangements for the guests, accommodations, entertainment suggestions and every detail of a perfect wedding day.
Big Island resort hotels are also great sites beautiful memories for your wedding clients. More than a dozen have outdoor and/or oceanfront wedding venues while some have small but elegant wedding chapels right on property. These resorts also have on-site wedding coordinators, who can do much or all of the wedding arranging, from making an appointment for a wedding license, getting a photographer, planning the menu, choosing entertainment, helping select flowers to renting dresses or tuxedos. Though resorts may have standard wedding packages, they can all be customized according to a couple’s individual preferences.
One other very special element of a wedding here: Whatever the venue and whether simple or as lavish, almost all weddings in Hawaii incorporate local traditions into the ceremony, such as fresh flower and maile leis for the bride and groom, romantic Hawaiian music and special food. Surrounded by aloha everywhere in the air, your wedding clients will generate lifetime memories, thanks to you.
