Hawaiʻi is the perfect place for a wedding: Gorgeous scenery, luxurious accommodations, cultural richness – and the honeymoon destination is included!
We know that planning a destination wedding – especially in Hawai’i, across miles of ocean – can be tricky. You may not be able to visit sites or meet vendors in person, but there are lots of reasons why a wedding in the Islands is worth the extra effort!

Hawai‘i’s Rich Cultural Heritage
Thanks to the rich culture and history of the Islands, there are many unique elements you can include in your wedding that celebrate and honor Hawai‘i’s special heritage. It’s not uncommon to exchange lei at weddings; the lei represents a gesture of aloha. Brides often wear a multistring fragrant pīkake (jasmine) lei, and grooms don the equally aromatic maile. The tradition of pili ā nai kealoha (love that binds) is where the officiant ties the hands of the couple with a maile lei while chanting an ‘oli and uniting the couple forever in love. These customs enhance the ceremony while honoring the Hawaiian culture and making the event that much more memorable and special.
