We are so excited to share Gellie and Ronnie’s Oahu beach wedding! The sun-kissed beaches, the gentle ocean breeze, and the enchanting beauty of the island made it a perfect destination for our high school sweethearts to tie the knot. Gellie and Ronnie realized this dream as they exchanged vows on the picturesque shores of the island’s east side. They chose an Oahu wedding because they’ve always wanted to do a beach wedding, but it wasn’t possible for a church wedding in the Philippines in 2024. But they were already planning on doing a civil wedding anyway, and they were already going on a family trip to Hawaii. So they thought since they would already be in Oahu with their family, why not get married there?! Brilliant idea! They will also be able to hold their church wedding next year too!

Gellie and Ronnie were head over heels in love, and their wedding day celebrated their deep bond. With anticipation and excitement in their hearts, they eagerly awaited this beautiful day; they absolutely LOVE the beach!

Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the atmosphere was filled with pure joy. Everyone present felt incredibly blessed to witness and be a part of Gellie and Ronnie’s special moment. Love was in the air and in the ocean breeze, as you’ll see below!

Meant To Be

Ronnie and Gellie’s love story began in the most unexpected of places – their senior year honors arts class. It was Gellie’s favorite class, her sanctuary amidst the chaos of high school. Little did they know that their paths would intertwine in a way that would change their lives forever.

Although they didn’t know each other well at first, Ronnie and Gellie found themselves engaging in casual conversations from time to time. But it wasn’t until a year after high school, about 13 years ago, that their friendship blossomed into something more. On August 22, 2010, they officially became a couple, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together.

Their love story took an enchanting turn when, exactly 12 years later, on August 22, 2022, during a vacation in the Philippines, Ronnie decided to take their relationship to the next level. It was a magical moment, almost midnight, by the shimmering waters of a beach. With the stars as witnesses, Ronnie got down on one knee and proposed to Gellie, sealing their love for a lifetime!

Beachy Simplicity

Kualoa Regional Park Beach provided an exquisite backdrop for their wedding ceremony! With the ocean waves gently crashing against the shore, Gellie and Ronnie stood hand in hand, ready to embark on this incredible adventure as husband and wife. The setting was nothing short of magical, capturing the essence of their love.

Everyone arrived in the best of spirits, dressed in pristine white attire! Ronnie and Gellie included traditional Cambodian and Filipino elements in their elegant wedding attire too! The purity and simplicity of their outfits perfectly complemented the natural beauty surrounding them. It was a sight to behold, a sea of white against the vibrant blue of the ocean and the sandy shore.

As they exchanged their heartfelt vows, there was so much joy in everyone’s hearts and smiles. Their love spilled over, touching the hearts of everyone present at their wedding. We are so happy this family vacation turned out to be the perfect opportunity for an Oahu beach wedding!

Tropical Radiance

After their sweet oceanside ceremony, our newlyweds were ready to catch a moment alone and bask in the romance of the moment.

Gellie and Ronnie truly looked like a match made in heaven on their special day. Gellie adorned a stunning haku flower crown, carefully crafted with vibrant blooms that perfectly complemented her natural beauty. The tropical crown added an extra touch of elegance to her look, making her radiate with an ethereal glow!

As they stood together, hand in hand, their love shone brightly, illuminating the entire beach. The warm sunlight danced upon their faces, highlighting their smiles and the sparkle in their eyes. It was as if the universe itself conspired to showcase their love in the most enchanting morning light, with the ocean glittering in the distance!

Congratulations to these two love birds! We hope you had a fantastic day! May you continue to have many more beautiful years ahead!

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!

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!

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!
