Where to Elope in Hawaii?
Planning an adventure elopement in Hawaii? The Big Island of Hawaii is a place of magical, cultural, and beautiful significance. From sand, to surf, to tropical trees, there are so many options when it comes to your Hawaii elopement.
Where Should You Elope In Hawaii?
Narrowing down where your Hawaii wedding or elopement should take place will depend on the amount of coverage you are looking for! Some locations require shorter hikes or no hiking at all, and those can be paired with other, more accessible locations to create an elopement day full of variety!
Picture this: having your elopement ceremony while the Pacific Ocean serenades you at Black Lava Cliffs, heading out for a picnic on the bright sand at Kukio Beach, before ending your elopement day at one of my secret spots (secluded beaches and private ponds, anyone?!)
Thinking of a longer elopement day? We can even throw some half-day locations into the mix! Your Hawaii elopement can include camping at Green Sands Beach, playing amongst a canopy of trees on rope swings, or even climbing mountains!
Once you have your elopement location in mind, I am able to give the two of you guidance when it comes to planning.
Hiking around Mauna Kea on a 90 degree day is not something I would recommend, but having a Plan B, just in case the summit of Mauna Kea is closed? Absolutely.
When planning your Hawaii elopement on the Big Island, flexibility is important. Weather, road conditions, permitting, and rules can change in an instant, so I strongly encourage that we come up with various plans together to make sure that your elopement day is full of wonder, not stress!
Hawaii Elopement Locations:
- Eloping on one of The Big Island’s black sand beaches. Hawaii is famous for its coastal access, and the contrast of black sand with white wedding attire is gorgeous. If you are craving a black sand beach for your elopement, I’ve got ideas in mind for seclusion and beauty during your elopement day!
- Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world from base to peak. On Mauna Kea, you are above the clouds. It’s true magic! This is one of my favorite elopement spots, perfect for sunset and stargazing.
- Honokāne Nui Overlook. This overlook is more of an intense hike, but the sweeping views are well worth it: exchanging ceremony vows with the vast beauty of Hawaii at your fingertips.
The enchantment of Hawaii can’t be contained to a few examples! I love to show my couples a location guide to give them an even deeper glance of all that Hawaii has to offer.
When considering where you should elope in Hawaii, the deciding factor should be what you two feel in your heart. And I am here to guide you along the way! Have a specific vision in mind for your Hawaii elopement? My job is to provide you with the tools, resources, and location possibilities to help the two of you have the Hawaii elopement of your dreams.
