Discover the top Hawaiian wedding destinations.
A wedding in Hawaii is definitely a wedding in paradise, and with destination weddings becoming increasingly popular Hawaii can be an ideal spot for the perfect wedding. Best of all, the state of Hawaii is spread out over several islands, most of which offer exceptional wedding venues. Most popular of all, perhaps, are the islands of Kauai, Maui, and Oahu, where wedding spots range from chapels to rocky beaches to restored plantation houses. Having a wedding in Hawaii is largely a matter of choosing from among several idyllic locations to hold the ceremony.
Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club
Located at Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach, the Chapel by the Sea at Kauai Lagoons is one of the most popular wedding spots on the island of Kauai. The chapel, or gazebo as it is also referred to, sits right on the water, with a short bridge leading out from the beach. The chapel features plantation-style architecture, and during the ceremony guests are seated on silk-covered chairs and surrounded by tropical plants.
Use of the chapel requires a reservation, and the bride and groom may choose from several wedding packages that the Marriott wedding coordinators offer, all of which include a cake, photography and flowers.
