CEREMONY PACKAGES ADD-ONS GALLERY RESERVE

Hawaii is one of the most popular destination for elopements. Its stunning natural beauty, tropical climate, and diverse landscapes is the perfect place for a romantic wedding ceremony. Forgoing a large event, many choose to have a private ceremony just for two or with a few close family and friends. It’s important to note that Hawaii has regulations and restrictions, such as obtaining a valid marriage license and having the ceremony performed by a licensed officiant in the State of Hawaii.

Our beach ceremonies are "standing ceremonies" performed at Duke Kahanamoku beach in front of Hilton Hawaiian Village. Since all Hawaii beaches are public, ceremony locations may vary.

The ideal time for photos would be early morning before 9am as the lighting is amazing and the beach is less crowded. After 4pm is also great for lighting but the beach tends to be a little more congested especially on the weekend. Weekdays ceremonies are less congested than weekends and afternoons.

On Friday afternoons, the Hilton Hawaiian Village puts on a beautiful fireworks show therefore, the last ceremony performed is at 3:00 pm.

Designed for 15 guests or less.

Located at 2005 Kalia Road. Honolulu, HI 96815.
