"The Big Island truly offers something for everyone," says Jessica Ferracane, Public Relations Specialist for the Big Island Visitors Bureau. "There’s a wide range of accommodations available, from luxurious resorts to beautiful and more affordable Bed and Breakfasts. You could have a high-end celebration where money is no object, or still have a gorgeous Hawaiian wedding on a budget."
Jessica adds that for destination couples who are bringing along guests, there’s a multitude of activities for everyone. Every corner of the Big Island offers a variety of things to do. The west side of the island, the Kona Coast, is well-known for its beaches and ocean excursions. Two of the more popular locations for weddings in this area include Kikaua Point Beach Park and Pu'uhonua o Honaunau. The Kohala Coast is home to some of the island’s most luxurious resorts, such as the Mauna Lani Resort, and gorgeous white sand beaches.
"Everyone went out of their way to make things perfect for us; that’s just the way the Big Island is," says Jennifer.
In a land of wonderful people, spectacular landscapes, and countless activities – not to mention world-famous coffee and macadamia nuts – it’s hard to imagine how any couple could not want to wed on the Big Island. Whether elaborate and festive or small and intimate, there’s one thing that all Big Island weddings have in common – they couldn’t be more perfect.
