If you're starting to plan a wedding, the location is one of the first decisions you need to make. You could choose a local venue, but you and your partner might also find that travel suits you better. If this is the case, a beach wedding on Hawaii's Kona Coast is a unique, memorable option perfect for couples from across the globe.

Why Plan a Destination Wedding in Hawaii?

1. Gorgeous Scenery

Hawaii is the quintessential tropical island paradise. The weather will be warm and beautiful no matter what time of year you choose to get married, and the islands are filled with photo opportunities, including pristine beaches, spectacular lava features, tropical foliage, and picturesque sunsets. All of your wedding photos and memories will be set against this beautiful backdrop of flowers and ocean waves.

2. Adventure Opportunities

Hawaii is a bucket list item for many people, and what better chance will you have to cross it off? The islands offer many once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Whether it's kayaking on the ocean, swimming with tropical fish, skydiving, off-roading, hiking, surfing, fishing, or exploring island ruins that interests you most, you can start your expedition and honeymoon as soon as the reception is over.

3. Small Intimate Ceremonies

Destination weddings are a perfect choice if you want to plan a small ceremony with close friends and family. Traveling works best with a limited guest list due to the expense, and Hawaii's beaches lend themselves beautifully to small gatherings of the people you love most. Bringing your loved ones with you to enjoy this beautiful setting will make the day even more memorable for them and you.
