If you're coming to Hawaii for a wedding, honeymoon, or renewal ceremony, where you choose to stay can make all the difference. Whether you're looking for the beauty of the Hawaiian mountains and beaches or the energy of the Honolulu nightlife and shopping scene, the island of Oahu has plenty to offer.

We get asked all the time where we recommend staying. We usually say Waikiki, which is next to Honolulu on the island of Oahu, as that’s often the best fit for what our couples are looking for. However, the whole island is beautiful, as are the other islands of Hawaii.

Here are our thoughts on some areas you may want to consider.  :-)

After many years of recommending the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort to our guests, we’re taking another big step and opening an office right in their lobby.

We’re so excited to be working with the wonderful people there, and we know this will improve the service we can offer to our guests.

Convenience for Our Guests

The Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort is directly on the beach at the Diamond Head end of Kalakaua Avenue. It’s a short walk to the Honolulu Zoo, Kapiolani Park, the Waikiki Aquarium, and tons of restaurants, shopping, bars, and cafes.

It’s been an exciting week here at Weddings of Hawaii. In preparing for the new year,  we thought it was the perfect time to launch our new website design.

We’re still making a few tweeks, but the site is up and running well.

 We kept many of the colors, but we've made a lot of changes.

Coming Soon!!!

Our new website is so close to being finished. Although we're still testing it out and putting on the finishing touches, we just can't wait any longer to announce it!

It's crazy to think how much our website has changed over the years. We still remember the first design. Imagine the messiest website you've ever seen, add eight different fonts, a pixelated photo, and a cupid in the upper corner. Pastor Karen talks about it with pride. So exciting at the time...so fun to remember now.

We don't have images of that very first design, but here's a picture of it after it had a few upgrades. It's still a live site, not that anyone is looking at it :)
