Today we’re going to focus on the second most visited Island in the Hawaii chain. Since most people have a favourite, I can’t tell you which one is better, as I’ve only been to Oahu and The Big Island. They are all beautiful in their own way, and only you can determine which one suits. I can tell you that Hawaii, regardless of your Island choice is spectacularly beautiful, with amazing temperatures year round. Just plan accordingly!
Peak season is December and spring break. The weather is a bit riskier during the rainy season (meaning you may get rain, but it will still be warm). Also keep in mind, all these prices are starting points.
If you’re looking for group bookings, contact to me and I’ll work with my contacts to put together an amazing package for you.
*Disclaimer – venue rentals are just a guideline
DO NOT FORGET – If you’re getting married, or renewing your vows, you will need a Marriage license and a justice of the peace, minister, officiant to make it all happen.

I’ve yet to visit Hawaii. Been on my list since high school…definitely need to make the trek especially after you shared these stunning photos!
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
If it’s on your list, you have to just make it happen! Don’t wait. Travel is the most significant thing you can do for your own world view!! Plus Hawaii is beautiful.
Shirley | 2nd Jul 19
I love Hawaii!! While I don’t have any events that I need to plan, this is a great source of information for those that do.
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
Thanks!!
Cynthia Mackintosh | 2nd Jul 19
It’s really hard to find a spot in Hawaii that you DON’T like. We’ve been to Oahu, Big Island, and Maui and love them all for different reasons. You have put together a great list for us to someday renew our vows! 🙂
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
That makes me so happy 🙂
Magan | 2nd Jul 19
Beautiful photos that make me want to go there! A nice listing of venue options.
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
Thank you!
Chris | 2nd Jul 19
Ver informative post! I’d not considered a wedding in Maui, but this gives me some great ideas. Thanks!
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
That makes me more than happy. It’s about inspiring people!
Kendra | 2nd Jul 19
Beautiful! My nephew was married last Thanksgiving on the Big Island. Such an amazing place for a wedding!
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
Which resort did they use? The Big Island is my next post!
Alexandra | 2nd Jul 19
Great post! thank you for sharing! we’ve just been to Maui this April. Stunning place! I can totally see how someone would want their destination wedding there!
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
I’ve only spent a week on the Big Island and Oahu. I may have to give Maui a try!
Karla | 2nd Jul 19
Beautiful! If I’d ever gotten married, I never dreamed of the big wedding. I’d probably have eloped, then had a gigantic party. Perhaps somewhere in Hawaii?
Maria | 2nd Jul 19
You don’t have to have a big wedding. Most people that do Destination Weddings, don’t have hundreds of guest, maybe a couple dozen! Eloping and say “I do” on the beach would be pretty fantastic too!
Tricia Snow | 27th Jan 20
Wow this looks truly amazing! Thank you for the great list!
Maria | 27th Jan 20
My pleasure, I’m glad you found it inspiring.
