A sweet, simple, and romantic wedding in Oahu — you really can’t get any better than that! So when it was time for Noel & Marcus to get married, they gathered up a small group of loved ones and hit the beach.

But just because they dreamed of a low-key celebration doesn’t mean they skimped on the details. Instead, they included the elements that were meaningful for them — a walk down the aisle, a ceremonious lei exchange, and portraits that they’ll always enjoy.

Check out some highlights from their wedding below. We’ve also got a fun story of how we ended up becoming their coordinator, plus some tips for anyone wanting their own wedding in Oahu.

Staying Close to Home

Couples travel thousands of miles to have an Oahu Wedding. But Noel & Marcus live right here on the island. So the beach, the memory, and the details were all extra special for them.

But how did they decide that a hometown elopement was right for them? We’re happy to share that we played a hand in that!

See, Noel & Marcus were out enjoying time at the beach when they saw a wedding happening toward shore. It seemed casual yet meaningful, the type of ceremony they’d enjoy. So as the vendors said their goodbyes, they asked how they could have a similar celebration.

And that’s how they got the information for Simple Oahu Wedding, and how we ended up being their coordinator. Lucky us!

Don’t worry, though — this darling duo stayed close to home for their wedding, but they’re off to see the world. Travel is in their future, and we can’t wait to hear about all the places they visit as a husband & wife team!

Planning a Beach Wedding in Oahu

Whether you are traveling from across oceans or from across town (like Noel & Marcus), a wedding in Oahu can be an absolute dream. It’s naturally scenic here, and you get to enjoy a full getaway as you wed.

And Simple Oahu Wedding wants to help create an event that lives up to the dream — ceremonies that feel relaxed and joyful, yet still stylish and serene. After all, that’s likely why you chose to marry here.

You may not run into us on the beach like Noel and Marcus did, but we hope these images help you better picture your own wedding here. And when you’re ready, we want to hear from you — this is where you can find our packages for Oahu Weddings.

A Match Made in Heaven (And Grad School)

Let’s get back to Noel & Marcus, two smiling sweethearts who seemed so relaxed and giddy at their wedding in Oahu. Though they found us recently during a beach outing, their love story dates back over a decade.

That’s when they were both in grad school, looking forward to careers and life beyond their classrooms. Like most great love stories, they met, became friends, fell in love, found a house together, and got a dog (shout out to Louie!). And in 2020, they got engaged.

These days, they’re still rocking the world of academia — Noel as a Vice Principal and Marcus as a high school teacher. And though they’re always looking forward to what’s next, they’re also focusing on the now, enjoying this incredible season of life as newlyweds!

Congratulations, Noel & Marcus! Thank you so much for allowing us to coordinate your wedding in Oahu! We’ll see you at the beach again soon!

Hawaii holds a special place in our lovely couple, Allan and Michelle’s hearts. Michelle, who is a traveling RN in Honolulu, met Allan, who works in healthcare management. These two absolutely love Oahu, so getting married on the beach felt just right! Their Oahu beach wedding was relaxed, stress-free, and, most importantly, just for them… keep reading to see how their lovely day unfolded!

Our lovely couple chose the stunning Papa’iloa Beach for their lovely ceremony; the cloudy skies created a dreamy feel as they exchanged their thoughtful vows. Their love and admiration for each other were palpable as our photographer captured these priceless moments on one of the biggest days of their lives! Finally, all that matters is their love, commitment, and vision for their future together!

Just For Us

Even though it was just the two of them, our happy newlyweds dressed their best for each other! Michelle is a vision in a lace and embellished white gown; her veil creates an ethereal quality that served as an enchanting element to their newlywed portraits! It’s all about the details as we like to say…

Also, we love a groom in blue for an Oahu beach wedding! Allan’s linen suit is perfectly tailored and picks up the color of the sky beautifully. Generally, cloudier skies give way to dreamier and softer photographs so we love these cooler tones of their newlywed portraits! Furthermore, our happy couple looks like they are stepping out of a dream in these photos…

Congratulations to our beautiful new Mr. & Mrs. Roldan! It was a joy to work with you both! We hope you have a wonderful honeymoon! Best of luck in the years ahead!

We had the pleasure of coordinating Esther and Brent’s simple yet beautiful Oahu elopement recently! Despite the overcast skies, our happy couple was brimming with happiness as they exchanged their vows right by the shoreline. It was just the two of them which made their lovely ceremony feel even more romantic! Curious to see how their day unfolded? Keep reading to see more highlights from their big day!

Forever Yours

When our beautiful couple arrived at Papa’iloa Beach Park for their elegant Oahu elopement ceremony, the pops of red of Esther’s custom bouquet and Brent’s boutonniere were striking! It really showed off their unique style and beautifully contrasted with the blue ocean in the distance… This beautiful beach is one of our favorites for a romantic elopement simply because it feels like you have the beach and its natural beauty all to yourself…

What we love about elopements is that they focus solely on a couple’s commitment and love for one another…Esther and Brent’s Oahu elopement was no different as they shared many tender and inimate moments, ready to commit to each other for the rest of their lives…it doesn’t get any more romantic than that!

Our happy newlyweds wanted to take full advantage of all of the natural features this beach offers, like the rocky tidepools and a long stretch of sand! These photographs capture their pure joy and playful connection as they look toward their future together. Their bliss led them to jump right into the water too! The splash of waves was like a beautiful newlywed blessing from the ocean…

A perfectly Hawaiian ending to a beautiful day! Congratulations Esther and Brent! We wish you all the love and peace in your future together!

“Hawaii has been one of our dream destinations, and our wedding seemed to like the best occasion to celebrate there!” Anita told our wedding coordinators before her Oahu venue wedding! The Latvian couple had been dreaming of this moment ever since their engagement by the Hollywood sign, and it was truly a delight to see their dream wedding come to life on their special day! See how their intimate wedding unfolded in these beautiful photographs below…

A Dream Come True

As Anita walked down the petal-laden aisle, all eyes turned toward her – she looked absolutely stunning! Anita and Aivars share a geeky, fun-loving relationship, and their love and deep friendship were palpable in every moment of their Oahu venue ceremony! Aivars’ mother and Anita’s best friend were there to share the special day with the happy couple…

Our lovely couple had always dreamt of Hawaii as one of their bucket-list destinations, and what better occasion to visit than their wedding! They chose to have their ceremony at Paradise Cove Luau Point, overlooking the stunning coastline. With plenty of tropical elements, from palm trees to turquoise waters, it was the perfect spot for their intimate celebration! Although they are a long way from Latvia, home was and will always be found in each other’s arms…cheers to you both!

The beach was calling the happy newlyweds after their intimate ceremony! They couldn’t wait to go down to the water’s edge to bask in their bliss… You can feel genuine happiness in these beautiful newlywed portraits! They make such gorgeous pair, and it was a privilege to coordinate their dream wedding for them!

We wish Anita and Aivars a lifetime of love and happiness filled with travel, adventure, and plenty of geeky moments! May you carry the aloha spirit forever in your hearts…Congratulations to the happy couple once again!

Andrea and Neil, who love traveling, just began one of their greatest adventures! It was our privilege to capture and coordinate their Oahu beach wedding! A smaller private wedding was important to our happy couple so they could spend their special day with the people they love most. So it felt like the perfect fit when they stumbled across our company Simple Oahu Wedding! Destination weddings can be simple! Their big day was modern, fun, and, most of all, full of love!

Their beautiful wedding ceremony took place at Wai’alae Beach Park with their nearest and dearest, who brought the fun and bubbles to celebrate our happy pair! Andrea and Neil love all things outdoors, so they felt right at home in this beautiful setting…after all, Neil proposed to Andrea on a hiking trip in the Colorado Rockies! The island’s natural beauty was exactly the backdrop they wanted for their Oahu wedding…

Even though our happy couple decided on an Oahu beach wedding, they still included a traditional (yet fun!) bridal party! They all looked perfectly coordinated in their matching pinks and silvery blues. As you can see in these joyful photos, their friends and family were so happy for them both, ready to dance and begin the celebrations!

Andrea took our breath away in her lace and beaded gown! Simply stunning. The embellished details of her dress only enhanced her natural beauty!

We are honored to have been a part of your special day, Andrea and Neil! Thank you for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding! Sending you both all the love and aloha into the years ahead…

Anahi and Aaron had been looking forward to their special day ever since they got engaged at Big Pine Lakes National Park. Their Oahu elopement was exactly what they dreamed of and more! Our happy couple love spending time in nature and exploring the outdoors, and they planned to get married in a national park, and in the end, it didn’t work out…but perhaps for the best! Although they knew they wanted to honeymoon in Hawaii because of its natural beauty, after months of research, they eventually stumbled across our company, Simple Oahu Wedding. They realized they could have both! A peaceful, simple, and elegant elopement immersed in natural beauty… keep reading to re-live their magical day with us!

Peaceful & Intimate

Through the highs and lows, these two have stood by each other’s side with unbreakable love, like best friends. They love spending time with their young daughter, Adele, and seeing the world through her eyes. Although this day was theirs, their Oahu elopement focused on their love, commitment, and unbridled joy! It certainly felt like a dream come true when they said their vows at Kualoa Beach Park on a beautiful spring day – breezy yet quiet, with the ocean waves lapping softly behind them. The dramatic mountains in the distance created the most breathtaking backdrop too! Perfect for our outdoorsy pair!

It was a pleasure to make your dream day come true! We hope you have a beautiful and romantic honeymoon! We wish you both the very best in this next chapter together as husband and wife!

We recently had the pleasure of coordinating Jessica and Steven’s Oahu venue wedding at the Crystal Chapel at Paradise Cove in Ko’olina! Our happy couple was so excited to tie the knot with their friends and family in attendance on their beautiful day. All heads turned when our beautiful bride Jessica first stepped into the chapel with her delicate veil trailing behind her down the glossy aisle – simply stunning! Steven was nearly in tears when he saw her! As you’ll see in their beautiful photographs below, it is a family-orientated and romantic celebration these two will never forget!

Love & Light – Oahu Venue Wedding

The crystal-shaped window is simply breathtaking for their vows – it took our breath away! The chapel is filled with light and love for the happy couple! Their friends and family looked on with pride and love as they exchanged their heartfelt vows. Family is so important to Jessica and Steven, and thankfully there was plenty of space to accommodate everyone!

After their ethereal Oahu venue wedding ceremony, we walked down to the shoreline to capture some newlywed portraits! We love how Jessica donned a stunning tropical haku flower crown! A flower crown can really make a bride feel special and celebratory! Jessica wears it beautifully…

It was a joy to work with you both! We hope you had a wonderful day with your family! We wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!

On a bright blue day full of sunshine, Annie and Billy tied the knot at their Oahu venue wedding! These two met on a dating app while Annie was in nursing school and Billy served in the navy. The stars aligned when they met, and both felt incredibly lucky to have met when they did! After two years of dating long distance, they finally got engaged, and their big day arrived on March 23rd! Relive their beautiful day with us through these highlights below!

They couldn’t have asked for a better location for their vows! The breathtaking scenery and privacy of Secret Island were exactly what our happy couple had hoped for. The ocean blues and greenery created a beautiful feeling of harmony and serenity for their guests too! We love the circle arch they included to serve as a tropical altar, too…picture perfect!

What we loved about their Oahu venue wedding was all of the tropical details of their special day, from Annie’s vibrant bouquet to the turquoise waters! One reason they chose to marry in Oahu was that Billy visited Honolulu during his time in the Navy, and Annie had always wanted to visit. And most importantly, they wanted a fun, low-stress wedding, and Hawaii seemed like the perfect place!

A Dream Come True

It was incredibly romantic, with the swaying palm trees framing their newlywed portraits. Annie radiated happiness! What a beautiful beach bride she makes…And we love how Billy wore pug socks to honor their pup at home!

After a few beach portraits, our newlyweds took advantage of the serene fish pond at Kualoa Ranch. The dramatic cliffs in the distance added another layer of tropical perfection to their already magnificent Oahu venue wedding!

Congratulations, Annie and Billy! We hope you had a fantastic day! Best of luck in the years ahead!
