Wedding Sites on the Garden Isle of Kauai

Wedding locations in the tropical paradise of Hawaii, including waterfall weddings on Kauai, Hawaii beach weddings, and lush, private garden settings.

Kauai Beach Weddings

Of course there are many beautiful beaches on Kauai. We do have our favorites, however, and have included this page to give you our impressions and some photos to help you decide on the wedding location that best suits you.

East Shore, Lydgate Beach

Secluded, wind-swept beach with volcanic rocks, driftwood, a beautiful gnarled tree as well as a long stretch of sandy shore.

South Shore, Shipwreck Beach

A common wedding location but long and wide enough to provide a sense of intimacy for each wedding. Lined with big old ironwood trees which create ‘coves’ for natural wedding chapels, a sandstone cliff which makes a great backdrop for photos, a small palm-bedecked park.

North Shore, Moloa’a Beach

A small stream winding down to the sea, wide sand beach usually quite secluded, a beautiful small bay, trees on a little knoll, a bamboo swing big enough for two.

North Shore, Tunnel’s Beach

Gorgeous aquamarine water, waves crashing on the reef offshore, calm waters by the beach, old twisted trees, the exquisite backdrop of Bali Hai (made famous in the film “South Pacific”).

Kauai Waterfall Weddings

Two falls on Kauai are lovely and lively for weddings. In both cases a short hike brings you to the top of the falls where the wedding can be celebrated. The surrounding forest as well as the stream and huge rocks above the falls provide ample photo opportunities.

Kauai Tropical Garden Weddings

Our house sits on a hill overlooking our three-acre tropical garden which is paradise indeed. The spirit of this beautiful place in the center of the island is immediately felt and its name is Ho’o Nanea, “a place to pass the time in peace”. Our deck overlooking Sleeping Giant Mountain is the perfect location for a small cake and champagne reception.
