Why Oahu?

We say, "get married on Oahu, honeymoon on Maui...Kauai, ot the Big Island". We really love the other islands because they are awesome but, we do feel that for many people, Oahu is the most sensible choice to get married on.

Here's why:

Just the mention of "Maui" has a aura about it and therein lies the problem. Maui is the most popular of all Hawaii wedding destinations. Approximately 44% or 8,762 out of 19,914 of all destination weddings in the State are held on Maui (Oahu is second at 30%). Also, Maui has some of the highest room rates and wedding costs of all the islands though, we have to admit, the other islands aren't far behind :).

Ditto the Big Island of Hawaii with the extra consideration that access to free locations is even more limited and quality wedding vendors are even harder to secure.

Ditto Kauai.

For Lanai, everything has to be flown in and because of this, we actually can do weddings on these islands though it's not cheap :)

Most people come to Oahu and Waikiki and it's tagged as a "tourist" mecca but, this is exactly what makes it the place you want to get married! Hotels choices are plentiful, room rates vary from the affordable to the most expensive five-star venues. You'll have more choices for things to do for both day and night. And Oahu has a greater selection of vendors and services with very competitive pricing.

Hey, we love all of our islands and many of us locals visit them frequently just for vacation. With that said, we believe that you cannot beat Oahu for all that is offers as a wedding destination... though Maui does come in a very close second! :)
