Oahu — Home to the world-famous Waikiki Beach, Oahu is perfect for couples who are looking for a fun, modern Hawaii experience on their wedding day. Boasting a diverse population along with the state capitol, Oahu offers a unique mix of cultural attractions and natural charms while showcasing its metropolitan side. Visiting the beach is a must on every Hawaiian island, but this is even more so on Oahu, the birthplace of big wave surfing! Explore historic sites like Pearl Harbor and scope out the surf scene at Waikiki for a truly iconic Hawaii experience. One extra perk of getting married on a well-populated island: better deals on airfare!

The Royal Hawaiian / Moana Surfrider Westin Resort & Spa

Maui — Scenic valleys and stunning beaches make Maui a destination for romantics who want a mix of action and serenity. Known as the “Valley Isle,” Maui offers quaint art towns, the best spots to whale watch in the world, and of course, majestic, winding valleys. A destination wedding in Maui is not complete without a group outing to the historic whaling village and hot spot: Lahaina, or a romantic drive down Road to Hana, a scenic valley road featuring waterfalls.

The Big Island benefits from a distinctly tropical side and sunny side, so you can take your pick!

Kauai — For a quiet, intimate, and rustic wedding, Kauai is the way to go. Known as the “Garden Isle,” Kauai is home to lush gardens, Waimea Canyon—the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”—cliffs, rivers, tropical rain forests, and valleys. The laid-back atmosphere and undeveloped beauty of Kauai make it the ultimate destination for couples looking for a relaxing retreat away from tourists. Dig your toes into the sand at Poipu Beach for your ceremony, and then snorkel in the water! Keep in mind, however, that you may have to pay a little more for airfare to get to this serene isle.
