Here are some of the top destination wedding locations in Kauai.
Waterfall Wedding
Imagine riding a 4WD vehicle through the lush, tropical forest, hopping on a boat and taking a trip up a river, and then walking on a tropical path until you arrive to a secluded waterfall in the forest of Kauai’s north shore to exchange your vows. Waterfall weddings in Kauai provide destination wedding couples with the perfect blend of privacy, breathtaking nature, and exoticness. You can complete your ceremony by heading to a nearby beach for photos.
Beach Weddings
The north shore of Kauai is famed for its gorgeous Pacific beaches with emerald green mountains in the backdrop. Haena Beach provides an intimate atmosphere and spectacular views of the Bali Hai Mountains. It is the best location for a small destination wedding ceremony or vow renewal. At Anini Beach Estate on the north shore there are beautiful tropical gardens in a stunning area where the river meets the ocean. Makua Beach is the best destination wedding ceremony location for sunset weddings.
On the south shore of Kauai, the weather is mild and beautiful year round. You can enjoy breathtaking views at Kawailoa Bay, a rustic beach complete with cliff overlooks. Keoneloa Bay is the beach in front the Hyatt Regency. Although Hyatt guests use it, there are many private stretches perfect for a sunset wedding ceremony on this serene, white sand beach. Poipu Bay on the south shore is home to a grassy beachside park and sandy beach that has spectacular sunsets in the winter.
The east side of Kauai is easy to access. There are two ancient Hawaiian temples on the east side and the rugged coasts offer the perfect setting for a destination wedding ceremony with waves crashing in the backdrop. On the west side of Kauai, you can have a destination wedding ceremony at Salt Pond Beach Park. Salt Pond Beach Park is the most intimate on weekdays and the facilities can accommodate large wedding groups. There is a big lawn, party pavilions, palm trees, and picturesque sunsets.
Cliff Overlooks
Enjoy panoramic views of the island and the Pacific Ocean by holding your destination wedding on a cliff overlook in Kauai. Moana Mele is a beautiful estate featuring stone walkways lined with exotic tropical flowers that lead to a cliff overlook with spectacular views where you can say “I do.” At Moana Mele, you will get an excellent view of the Kilauea River Estuary as it meets the ocean at Kahili Bay. The overlook at Spouting Horn in Poipu is a secluded overlook perfect for small destination wedding ceremonies.
Church Weddings
Beautiful, historical churches abound in Kauai. Protestant, Buddhist, Catholic, and Interfaith services are available throughout the island. The Church of the Pacific is a beautiful church that features an outdoor gazebo as well as a sanctuary. At the Church of the Pacific, you can enjoy spectacular views of the ocean and the lush, green mountains in the backdrop. The Chapel by the Sea located at the Kauai Marriot sits atop the tranquil Kauai Lagoons. Nestled between the mountains and ocean, the Chapel’s elegant architecture and the tropical breezes that make their way through the large French doors provide a scenic setting for your destination wedding. |
