Weddings at the Kahala Hotel & Resort, Honolulu, Hawaii

Celebrate your wedding at one of the world’s most romantic getaways.

The Kahala Hotel & Resort was named one of the top “25 Romantic Getaways in the World”, in the February 2004 issue of Travel & Leisure. And not surprisingly, we like to think of ourselves as experts when it comes to weddings – after all, we do organize around 800 a year.

With every one of them, we aim to ensure every moment – before, during and after your special day - is a memorable one. The Kahala Hotel & Resort's wedding packages promise a tailor-made experience for newlyweds on their big day, whether plans are made last minute or years in advance. Complete the perfect day with one of our wedding reception parties.

We offer two wedding locations, each with a romantic gazebo and with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop. Throughout the hotel, you’ll find a variety of venues for photo opportunities, such as our colorful orchid wall featuring tropical hybrid and chocolate-smelling orchids, or our own cascading waterfall for a truly unique photo memory.

And remember, if your wedding is already planned to take place elsewhere, The Kahala Hotel & Resort is the perfect destination for your honeymoon.

Before
Relax as we do the work for you. The secret of a memorable and successful event is in the planning. From flower arrangements to entertainment, co-ordinated linen to personalized place cards, our experienced and dedicated staff offer uncompromising levels of personal service and attention to detail.

And while we do all the hard work, you and your guests can pamper yourself in our award winning The Spa. It offers dozens of blissful treatments in a tranquil, plantation style setting. Or how about a close encounter of the flippered kind with our six resident Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins in the resort’s private lagoon. Or just a relaxing day on our sun-drenched, private beach.

The Kahala Hotel & Resort’s secluded waterfront location is stunning – and very Hawaiian. Add our renowned service and you’ll have the occasion of a lifetime.

Make the preparation for your big day easy by choosing from one of our Wedding Packages.

Our ceremonial specialties let you choose the setting, while we provide 343 guestrooms and suites and 12,760-square-feet of banquet space for receptions of up to 450 people.
