Paradise Cove Beach Wedding

Paradise Cove Beach – Ideal Sunset Wedding

A Paradise Cove Beach Wedding or Vow Renewal is a great experience. Located at Ko’olina Resort, it is a small white sand beach tucked away down a beach walk path next to the Paradise Cove Luau grounds. In winter the waves can be seen rolling in and breaking on the protective outer reef of the cove.  It’s truly spectacular to watch.  Picturesque, golden sunsets can be a experience here, it’s quite amazing. Families with young children like to use the beach.  The water is rather calm due to the natural volcanic rock wall that acts to protect the beach area. It’s not unusual to spot a sea turtle in the cove or a Hawaiian monk seal resting on the beach.  If you do spot a monk seal on the beach it is recommended to keep your distance.  They come in during the daytime to rest.

Best Sunsets are in West Oahu

The best time of day is in the early morning or late afternoon for photos.  Sunset time is ideal.  It is a public beach but parking is limited unless you plan to go to the luau after your ceremony.  In this case you can park at Paradise Cove Luau. If you are staying at Aulani Resort or Four Seasons Resort Oahu you can easily walk to this beach.  If you are staying at the Marriott Beach Club, you may consider driving as it is about a 20-30 minute walk. So, Paradise Cove Beach is really ideal and convenient if you are already staying at Koolina Resort.  If you plan to drive from Waikiki give yourselves 1.5 hours of drive time in the afternoon.  We recommend this beach for a small group of 10-20 guests.

So, we highly recommend having a Paradise Cove Beach wedding or vow renewal.   If you are a guest at the Koolina Resort then stay put and take full advantage of this resort beach.  Not to mention, there’s a fantastic luau right next door.

Welcome back to Hawaii

Welcome Back to Hawaii

It took awhile, but we’re happy to say, welcome back to Hawaii!  2020 was a challenging year due to the coronavirus. But now, couples that are ready to schedule or reschedule their Hawaiian wedding event can do so now! Since October 15th Hawaii began welcoming back many couples once again to the islands.

You will also be required to pass Hawaii’s pre-travel testing program including a temperature screening. There’s also a simple health questionnaire to fill out.  From there it’s “welcome aboard”!

Micro wedding in Hawaii

Micro wedding in Hawaii, A Not So New Idea

If you’re looking for a micro wedding in Hawaii, there are a few things you should know beforehand. Given the current health crisis with Covid-19 or Coronavirus, consider looking across the pond to the Hawaiian Islands.  It’s not just another destination wedding; it’s an occasion to remember.  At the end of the article, a recommendation will be made for a great destination wedding planner out of Hawaii.

Choosing the right wedding planner is a critical step to planning a successful wedding. While this can be a fun and enjoyable time for many couples, there are some details you want to keep in mind when choosing a wedding planner.Here you’ll find some of the steps you can take to make sure your destination wedding will be a memorable one.  If you have a friend who has done a destination wedding, ask him or her to meet with you and an experienced wedding planner to discuss your ideas. There are a number of websites and blogs dedicated to wedding planning.  There someone may also be able to recommend someone you can interview.  

Ask a Hawaii Wedding Planner / Blogger

A resort, hotel, or resort owner will be a perfect fit if you are looking for a resort wedding experience wedding planner. They will work as a liaison between you and your chosen wedding planner to ensure that your dream wedding goes smoothly and on schedule.  If you’re in search of a Hawaii destination wedding planner, a good place to start would be the wedding website blogs that have been created by couples that have experienced the service. While these wedding blogs are often not affiliated with any specific wedding company, they can offer ideas of wedding services available on the islands and in Hawaii.  Many of these websites will also list all the amenities you’ll need to ensure your wedding goes well. For example, they may list the food and beverage menu or other specialties that you’ll want. These wedding websites can help you avoid spending money on unnecessary items. 

Research Beforehand, Then Enjoy!

Once you have hired a hawaii wedding planner, be sure to follow all of their advice and guidelines.  The last thing you want is to have to cancel your microwedding because you didn’t listen to the recommendations of your wedding planner.  Have your wedding planner and the couple on your invite list provide photos of the wedding site. This can help to show what the overall look of the event will be like. Remember, a photograph doesn’t lie.  Don’t forget to do some research online. Researching can also include online travel and activity agencies and/or guides to the islands. There are so many options for an “off-the-beaten-path” wedding that you will enjoy doing on the island. 

Plan Ahead!

Make sure to narrow down your choices so you’ll be able to make an informed decision.  Don’t forget to make sure everything is set up before you leave. Most couples who have gone to Hawaii before can offer suggestions on how to save time and space while you’re on the island. Even if you’ve never been to Hawaii before, it’s possible to prepare enough to save a lot of time and money.  Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life; so, don’t take it for granted.
