Hawaii wedding - Big Island wedding
Hawaii with its naturally romantic scenery of a tropical beach paradise is one of the most popular wedding and honeymoon destinations in the world. Who doesn’t dream of a Hawaii wedding at sunset on one of our gorgeous white sand beaches of the Hawaiian islands with an unforgettable honeymoon?

When getting married on the Big Island, you have lots of alternatives to choose from for the location for your Hawaii wedding apart from the traditional Hawaii beach wedding… like a small Hawaiian chapel in Puako, a beautiful tropical gardens anywhere on the Big Island, churches in Kona or Waimea or any of our 5-star resorts like Mauna Lani or Mauna Kea Beach Resort.

Mauna Kea Beach Resort offers Hawaii wedding packages with your choice of your preferred wedding location at the resort and of course, depending on your budget and expectations a Hawaii luau kind reception. Mauna Kea Beach Resort with the best white sand beach of the Big Island is just a short drive from our vacation cottages. There is always the option of staying one or two nights at the resort with the wedding ceremony being taken care of by the hotel and afterwards spending your honeymoon at our more affordable, but very private Big Island honeymoon cottages, just as Nekole and Ben did. Here are two photos of Nekole's and Ben's wedding at Mauna Kea Beach Resort which we would to share with our Hawaii wedding or Hawaii honeymoon interested guests (of course, with their permission):

However, if the resort option is beyond your budget, you can also opt for a more casual Hawaiian wedding, still getting help from the people who know best about a Big Island wedding like Jennifer and Chuck from ‘A Fairy Tale Wedding – All you have to do is show up.’ You tell them what you like – location, music, ceremony style – and they will put it together for you so you can enjoy a stress free Big Island wedding and celebration of love in Hawaii.

Romantic Beach Weddings on the Big Island's Kohala Coast is another great option for when considering a Hawaii wedding. Romantic wedding ceremonies on the Big Island of Hawaii are what dreams are made of. The Hawaiian Kona Kohala Coast is ideal for your sunset beach ceremony, whether it is a wedding, a renewal of vows ceremony, a commitment ceremony, or a partners for life ceremony. Our full service wedding planning includes marriage license information, beach locations, unique venues, budget and luxury wedding packages, photography, accommodations, catering, music, and anything else your heart desires.

Beautiful ceremonies on the Kohala Coast beaches are written and performed by Rev. Lona Lyons, a licensed, non-denominational minister. Her original ceremonies contain moving sentiments about love and marriage for couples who want something simple, yet exceptional. Rev. Lona creates an atmosphere of warmth and gentleness that puts couples at ease and opens the pathway for a richer experience of love and commitment.
