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 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!

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!

It was an unforgettable day for Jessica and Cameron’s Oahu beach wedding in more ways than one! Our happy couple has never been to Hawaii, nor have nearly all of their guests, so to say they are excited to tie the knot in paradise is an understatement! Our sweet couple was set up by mutual friends, with Jessica’s coworker attempting to make the connection for them. But they finally met up and couldn’t stop chatting! The rest is history, as you’ll see below in their gorgeous photos…

The couple chose Papa’iloa Beach for their nuptials, drawn by its stunning views and raw beauty. It’s also a Simple Oahu Wedding staff favorite because of its sheer beauty. Jessica looked radiant in her lace gown, and Cameron smartly opted for a vest. Their joy was palpable in their Oahu beach wedding photos, as if it was all too surreal to be real!

How gorgeous does Jessica look with her flower crown? Simply stunning with the colorful contrast of the turquoise waters in the distance. The bright sunlight created a vibrant and colorful look to their wedding photography, reflecting their pure excitement and joy!

A few days after their beautiful Oahu beach wedding, the couple booked a “trash-the-dress” session – a fun add-on that provided even more fond memories from their time in Hawaii! Our happy pair enjoyed every moment of their bliss as they splashed around in the water. You can tell they have so much fun together and appreciate every minute since they have such busy schedules! This extra addition created more unforgettable memories together!

Congratulations, Jessica and Cameron! We hope you had a fantastic time with your family and enjoyed every minute of your beach wedding! We hope to see you again one day!

We love it when our couples showcase their personalities during their nuptials! Our sweet couple, Katie and Victor’s playful touch to their Oahu beach wedding celebration made their affair extra unique, as you’ll see below! Their close family members joined the happy couple on one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. The sky might have been a little overcast, but that didn’t dampen their spirits one bit!

Their wedding ceremony was simple yet elegant, with the focus firmly on the love that Katie and Victor share. It was clear to everyone present that these two were meant to be together forever! Their vows were heartfelt and touching, especially with the sound of the waves in the distance at Kualoa Beach Park and their children by their side…

One thing that really stood out about their wedding was the couple’s unique touch of personality. They both wore white converse shoes, which added a fun and playful element to the proceedings. It was a small detail, but it spoke volumes about who they are as individuals and as a couple. The message on the soles says it all!

Picturesque Paradise

As they posed for the camera, you could see the love between them in every glance and touch. They were completely lost in each other’s eyes, savoring every moment of being newlyweds.

The natural beauty of Oahu’s Kualoa Beach Park served as a stunning backdrop for their portraits. The gentle ocean waves crashing against the shore, the towering, Jurassic-like mountains in the distance – it was all so picturesque and romantic!

Even as they smiled for the camera, Katie and Victor couldn’t help stealing glances at each other, which was really endearing to photograph!

We feel honored to have witnessed such a beautiful celebration of love, and we wish Katie and Victor all the best as they begin this new chapter together as husband and wife with their sweet children!

There’s something so romantic about eloping to a tropical destination like Lucy and Andrew did recently! Their Oahu venue wedding felt like a private, dreamy getaway surrounded by the natural splendor and beauty of the island and their love for one another. Despite being just the two of them, their wedding felt no less special and romantic than a grand affair! We wholeheartedly enjoyed coordinating their intimate celebration and shared some of their beautiful moments below!

Hailing from the UK, this lovely couple couldn’t have been more thrilled to exchange vows in such a stunning tropical destination. Hawaii has a worldwide allure that is just irresistible!

The private venue they chose for their wedding, Kualoa Ranch Secret Island, was nothing short of breathtaking, as you can see! With sweeping views of both the mountains and the ocean, it provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony.

Their wedding photos capture all the joy and magic of this beautiful day! Every image is filled with love and happiness, from their sweet first kiss as husband and wife to their playful moments on the beach!

It’s clear that Lucy and Andrew are meant to be together. Their love story is one that truly inspires us all to believe in the power of true love! And what’s even more romantic is that they had the entire venue all to themselves! They were soaking up every moment of their newlywed bliss in paradise…

Tropical Enchantment

The romance of Lucy and Andrew’s Oahu venue wedding day continued as we captured more photos of the happy newlyweds at the stunning fish pond nearby! The fish pond added a touch of enchantment to their already magical day. Its tranquil waters and lush greenery created a serene atmosphere that perfectly complemented the couple’s love for one another.

As Lucy and Andrew held hands and smiled for our camera, we knew that this moment would be one they would cherish forever. These stunning photos captured their love and the beauty of Hawaii – a place that will always hold a special meaning in their hearts!

Cheers to Lucy and Andrew! We feel so lucky to have been able to capture these precious moments for our darling pair. It was an honor to be a part of such a beautiful celebration of love, and we wish them all the happiness in the world as they begin this new chapter together as husband and wife!
