VENUE 1: KUALOA RANCH

Kualoa Ranch is one of the most well known locations on Oahu and one of my favorite wedding venues in Hawaii. This location has been used in some well known films like jumaji and Jurrasic Park. It is on such a beautiful property and such an amazing place to get married! They have so many different venue locations which are all so unique and absolutely gorgeous. There is something for everyone with locations in front of huge green mountains, jungle vibes, and breathtaking views of the ocean. I personally love ceremonies at low camp and receptions at Paliku gardens or Hale Nanea.

VENUE 2: FOUR SEASONS OAHU

The Four Season Oahu is definitely one of my favorite wedding venues in Hawaii! It is located next to a serene lagoon on the west side of Oahu and truly incorporates the beauty of Hawaii in each location. I adore when couples do an intimate ceremony in the sun-lit chapel and receptions on the ocean front lawn! The sunset views at the Four Seasons Oahu are some of the best on the Island. Every ounce of this resort is gorgeous from their tropical gardens, and beautiful getting ready rooms for photos. The lighting at this Hawaii wedding venue is PERFECT and such a gorgeous and romantic location!

VENUE 3: DILLINGHAM RANCH

Dillingham Ranch is located on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. It is surrounded by palm trees, so much open space and the coolest old school vintage Hawaii style plantation home. It is one of the oldest wedding venues in Oahu, Hawaii and filled with so much beautiful history. This wedding venue is so private and big, which makes it a perfect place to get married in Hawaii if you are wanting a large event! My favorite thing about Dillingham Ranch is that it’s a big canvas where you can create whatever vision you are wanting and have it come to life on your wedding at this Hawaii Wedding venue.

VENUE 9: CAFE JULIA

Cafe Julia is my one and only town wedding venue recommendation! It is a hidden treasure in the heart of Honolulu and the perfect spot for any wedding in town. I adore Cafe Julia and the way it GLOWS beside all the history in downtown Honolulu. The beautiful courtyard with arched walls is the perfect place for a romantic wedding ceremony. Each little corner of this venue is so gorgeous and so much variety! I always sneak away with my couples during sunset for some amazing city-scape bridal portraits around downtown!

VENUE 10: WAIMEA VALLEY

Waimea Valley wedding venue in Hawaii is for those nature lovers! This space is surrounded by lush green jungle, waterfall vibes and botanical gardens! This Hawaii wedding venue has so much variety from intimate ceremonies in the garden and multiple indoor and outdoor spaces to choose from. They have a photo tour available where we hop in the golf cart and ride all over the valley and stopping to take some breathtaking bridals. This venue is so quiet, peaceful and gorgeous. Waimea Valley is truly a unique venue and unlike any other!


I truly love every one of these venues! Each one is so unique and incorporates that Hawaii feel into each wedding. From lush tropical gardens to crystal clear blue oceanfront weddings there is something for everyone!
