Maui is probably the most popular Hawaii wedding destination. The island is dominated by the
massive dormant volcano Haleakala, house of the sun, from whose peak the ancient Hawaiian
demigod Maui snared the sun and slowed its journey across the sky. Great Hawaii wedding locations
include Kapalua Bay, Maui Tropical Gardens, Kaanapali Shores and North Maluaka Beach. If
you want an activity filled honeymoon after your wedding celebration, Maui abounds in great
restaurants, lots of live music, windsurfing, diving, hiking, and a wide variety of seminars
and workshops on healing and self discovery.
Kauai is the oldest and northernmost of the main islands and also the most laid back and
rural in its atmosphere. The numerous beaches are the finest in all Hawaii; broad, sandy and
never as crowded as other islands. They are free of charge to use (all beaches in Hawaii are
public) and the eastern Coconut Coast and the south shore especially make for exquisite Hawaiian
wedding sites.
The island of Hawaii, also known as the Big Island, has the most varied selection of
environments of any island anywhere. From the snow covered dormant volcano Mauna Kea and
the world's most active volcano Kilauea, to black sand and white sand beaches, to lush
tropical rain forests and broad high plains, you may need the help of a local coordinator
to sort through the wedding location choices available on the island of Hawaii.
Oahu is the main island where Honolulu is located. Sophisticated and urbane, Honolulu/Waikiki
is world famous for extravagant formal Hawaiian weddings. However, there are places, especially on the
north shore near Haleiwa, where you can find a lovely beach by the glistening jade colored ocean
to hold your nuptials. Your best bet might be to contact one of the many resorts and look into
their Hawaiian wedding packages. Look for them to include minister, flowers, photographer,
perhaps video, and a limousine to whisk you and your beloved to a romantic dinner. Discountsmay even be
available if you will also be staying at the resort.
Whichever island destination you choose, whatever magical site captures your imagination of
all the great Hawaii wedding locations available, you're sure to have a memorable romantic wedding
dream come true.
