There’s a reason Waikiki has been Hawaii’s most popular wedding destination for more than a century. Iconic beachfront, no-passport U.S. travel, Diamond Head as a natural backdrop, and a resort corridor deep enough to host every celebration style from a two-person elopement to a 200-guest ballroom celebration.

Waikiki is one of the strongest family-friendly wedding destinations in the U.S. The main Waikiki beachfront is a calm, protected stretch of warm turquoise water perfect for kids and beginner swimmers, and the corridor’s biggest hotels operate as full-service family flagships with pools, kids’ amenities, and rooms sized to fit multiple children.

Waikiki is a hotel-first market with celebrated dining scattered across every property, so the wedding-planning experience here works differently than the all-inclusive resort model common in the Caribbean or Mexico.

Waikiki has a reputation for luxury beachfront hotels, but the corridor also runs one of the strongest value-tier lineups in the Pacific.

Waikiki is Hawaii’s most iconic beachfront corridor. A walkable, palm-lined stretch of oceanfront running from Fort DeRussy Beach to Diamond Head at the eastern anchor.

Combined with no-passport U.S.-domestic…

The Big Island of Hawaii is a wedding destination that doesn't look like anywhere else in the U.S. Black lava flows meet white-sand beaches, active volcanoes tower behind resort corridors, and the Kona and Kohala coasts host some of the most iconic luxury wedding properties in the Pacific.

Kauai is Hawaii's "Garden Isle," the oldest, greenest, and most cinematic of the main Hawaiian islands. The Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and lush north-shore rainforests give Kauai weddings a sense of scale and drama no other island can match.

Lana'i is the most secluded of the main Hawaiian islands, a 141-square-mile private-island escape with just 3,000 residents and a resort scene made up entirely of two ultra-luxury Four Seasons properties. This is where couples come when they want a wedding that feels like it's happening at the edge of the world.
