Byodo-In Temple is a lovely for small, simple weddings with little to set up or decor. The site truly doesn't need any decor as the garden is lovely on its own. The Temple is still open to the general public so this is not a private site, although they do charge a site fee. Ceremonies generally take place on the upper or lower level lawn followed by photos around the garden and Temple. A max of 15 chairs are included in the site fee. |

Diamond Head Unity ChurchChruch
This simple, open aired church is the perfect choice for those wanting to get married in a church close to Waikiki without paying thousands of dollars in site fees like many other venues charge.

It's nice venue just 10 minutes from anywhere in Waikiki. |

Ihilani/Ko'Olina Lagoon/Secret Lagoon/ Disney LagoonLagoon
The location with a thousand names! You may have heard it called "Secret Lagoon, Ihilani Lagoon, Lanikohuna lagoon, Lanikohuna beach, Ko'olina Lagoon, Hidden Beach, Secret Beach, Disney Lagoon" and so many other names! This lagoon is far from secret or hidden. If you want to use this lagoon there are additional hoops you must jump through to ensure your wedding works out well. This is not an "easy" beach to get married on and we recommend people go elsewhere. However, for some, it's worth the extra effort. Please inquire for more information. That being said, the location is lovely. In fact, so stunning many TV shows, commercials and movie clips have been filmed here. It literally is that "postcard perfect beach". Due to its beauty, multiple weddings often take place in the very small lagoon at the same time so it is not a secluded beach. |

It offers shelter for bad weather, restrooms close by and as far as site fees go, it's on the low end of the scale. Highly recommend this location. It's an easy and beautiful 30 - 40 minute drive from Waikiki. This is a location that has everything most of our clients are looking for minus a sandy beach. However, a sandy beach is located just 1 mile up the road for pictures. |
