Follow along as we review our Top 10 Places to Get Married in Oahu!

1. Kualoa Ranch Secret Island (Venue)

There are plenty of breathtaking wedding venues on Oahu, but Kualoa Ranch’s Secret Island takes the (wedding) cake when it comes to island style. This reserve is so private that you and your guests can only access the beachfront by floating over an ancient fish pond via a Hawaiian fishing boat (Yes, you read that correctly!). Imagine saying “I do” on a tropical beach with just you, your guests, and your special someone digging your toes into the powdery white sand.

Why is Kualoa Ranch in our top 10?

• 100% private
• Seats up to 50 guests

• Movie-worthy valley scapes

• Soft north-east lighting = no harsh shadows
• Ample parking
• Family-owned and operated
• Profits protect Hawaii’s nature and wildlife
• Hawaiian fishing boat… need we say more?

2. Royal Hawaiian Golf Club (Venue)

Although Hawaii beaches tend to get most of the praise, our mountains and jungles can be just as beautiful. Nestled in the lush valleys of Kailua, the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club is the perfect venue for nature lovers. Its endless greenery is accented with designer elements, including a pristine pond, stone bridges, and a rugged rock wall. You’ll say “I do” on the manicured lawns overlooking the venue and then venture into the tropical forest to capture unforgettable couples portraits. 

Why is Royal Hawaiian Golf Club in our Top 10?

• Lush backdrops
• Unique Hawaiian experience
• Designer elements
• Golf car ride for jungle photo opt
• Waimanalo Beach photo session if time permits
• Optional on-site reception area
• The greenery you need to see to believe!

3. Paradise Cove Luau (Venue) 

If you dream of getting married on a beautiful beach but also want the convenience of an onsite reception, then Paradise Cove Luau is the ideal Oahu wedding location! Situated on the Leeward side of the island, this stunning location showcases vivid sunsets and glistening seascape views. With a grassy lawn or sandy stretch available for ceremony options, you can decide whether or not to go “toes in the sand” or “shoes on the terrace.” When the sun goes down, you can dive into a traditional Hawaiian luau to celebrate your union right there on the property!   

Why is Paradise Cove Luau in our top 10?

• Two gorgeous ceremony options
• Discounted group rates available for the luau

• Cocktail hour
• Perfect beach for portraits

4. Papailoa Beach 

It’s impossible to adequately describe the fluid and artistic beauty of Papailoa Beach. With a rocky shoreline draped in soft green algae and a stretch of trees fading into the horizon, walking on this Oahu beach feels like stepping into a masterpiece. Best known as the setting for the TV show Lost, Papailoa Beach offers bright tropical beauty with an unexpectedly refined aesthetic. 

Why is Papailoa Beach in our top 10?

• Lava rock formations
• White sands
• Minutes from Haleiwa town
• Close to restaurants
• Suitable for groups of 15 or less

5. Waimanalo Beach

Rarely crowded, Waimanalo Beach is one of our favorite locations for beach weddings. Its oceanscape features rolling valley backdrops and a seemingly endless stretch of white sands. In the morning light, Waimanalo Beach’s waters glow a vivid aquamarine, while the sky fades into soft pastels during the sunset hours. With plenty of parking and easy access to the shore, this spot is perfect for wedding guests of any age. 

Why is Waimanalo Beach in our top 10?

• Variety of valley and ocean backdrops
• Located near Sea Life Park 
• North shore views
• Aqua blue waters
• Restrooms on site

6. Yokohama (Keawaula) Beach

Resting in the heart of Makaha, Yokohama Beach is a remote white sand beach that’s well worth the travel time! The rocky coastline is encircled by lush mountains and valleys with rolling tides crashing in the ocean backdrop. Resting on the western tip of the island, this Oahu wedding location features vivid sunsets and pastel-soft morning light. 

Why is Yokohama Beach in our top 10?

• White sands
• Restroom facilities
• Endless mountainscapes 
• Remote location
• Vast shore
• Gorgeous sunsets 

7. Kualoa Regional Beach Park 

Bordered by a grassy field, this Oahu wedding location showcases green mountains and a rolling tropical beach. Just off Kaneohe Bay on the northeastern side of the island, Kualoa Regional Beach Park is famous for its striking beauty. Just ⅓ of a mile out from its shoreline, the basalt island of Mokoliʻi (or Chinaman’s Hat) rests in the vivid Hawaiian waters.

Why is  Kualoa Regional Beach Park in our top 10?

• Greenery + Ocean makes for the best of both worlds
• Stunning views of Mokoliʻi
• Variety of palms and trees
• Plenty of parking
• Restrooms on site

8. Paradise Cove – Ko’olina Beach

Ko’olina is known for its high-end resorts and accommodations, and although it boasts gorgeous beaches they’re privately owned and inaccessible to the public. Paradise Cove is the single gem in Ko’olina where public weddings are allowed. And what a gem it is! With leggy palms and crystal clear waters, this cove is a must-see! Because it shares its shore with Paradise Cove Luau we recommend morning weddings to avoid dense crowds.  

Why is Paradise Cove – Ko’olina in our top 10?

• Manicured Palms
• Reef with clear waters
• Small parking lot
• Lava rock formations

9. Waialae Beach Park

Conveniently located near Waikiki, this gorgeous beach features plenty of palms, golden sands, and a backdrop of rolling waters. Although this Oahu wedding location is often crowded, it boasts a wide shoreline, and we can usually seek out less populated areas for the ceremony and beautiful photo ops.  

Why is Waialae Beach Park in our top 10?

• Palm trees galore
• A cute man-made island in the backdrop
• Rocky embankments
• Golden sands
• Convenient location
• Easy access
• Great for sunsets or mornings
• Parking lot
• The feeling of classic Waikiki

10. Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

Located near Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu’s north shore, this rustic beach boasts a lava rock embankment and endless blooms of tropical palms. Haleiwa Alii Beach Park is in the heart of the small plantation town of Haleiwa and features panoramic views of the ocean coast that make for dynamic wedding day photos. 

Why is Haleiwa Alii Beach Park in our top 10?

• White sands
• Near tourist locations like Turtle Bay Resort
• Rolling tide
• Variety of greenery
• Great for sunset and morning weddings

Morgan and Jacob escaped rainy Oregon for their Oahu Wedding! The couple brought lots of personality to this special day and we are sure it is one they will never forget. We love how both Morgan’s mom and dad escorted her down the aisle, showing their support and excitement for the moment they have been dreaming of since Morgan was a little girl. Jacob could not have been more excited to marry the love of his life, we’re obsessed with that face grabbing kiss! If that doesn’t show their strong affection for one another, we don’t know what will. With a love like that, we know nothing life throws at them will stand in their way of success.

Morgan’s knee-length lace dress created a casual yet stunning look for this Oahu Wedding. Her hair was pinned back in just a few spots, helping keep her hair off her face while still showing off her long wavy hair. We love her choice of flowers, the Tropical Elegance Bouquet is perfect for a traditional look. And just check out those rich colors of reds and pink! Jacob chose to keep his look casual as well with a white button-up and khaki shorts. Plus how fun is that cowboy hat? Little touches like this add so much personality to a wedding, which we always love! We are so happy for these newlyweds and are excited for them to experience endless joy on their adventures ahead. Thank you, Morgan and Jacob, for choosing Simple Oahu Wedding to help make all of your wedding dreams come true! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together. Congratulations and Warm Aloha!

Leaving Las Vegas behind, Aubry and Chaz set out for the island paradise that would begin the next chapter of their lives. With an Oahu Beach Wedding to start them off right, the darling duo was so excited to make their dreams come true. Blessed with a beautiful morning, the special moment commenced with a ceremony by the sea where loved ones could witness their joy. With smiles emanating from their faces, friends and family watched with love and laughter as our new friends formed the union that won’t be broken.

Before adjourning to our beautiful bride’s aunt’s house to continue photos, we first made the most of the lovely beach setting where the two said ‘I Do.’ As the romance danced on the breeze, the moods were light and genuine happiness easy to come by. We loved getting to hang out with this whole group. The flowing banter and gentle touches of the bride and groom were a pleasure to capture. Thank you, Aubry and Chaz, for allowing our Simple Oahu Wedding team be a part of your special day. We wish you a lifetime of happiness! Congratulations and Warm Aloha!!!
