Hiya... I am getting married on the North shore of Oahu. It's our favorite place and I am doing the ceremony about 5 and that way I can have sunset photos. We are using Hawaiin Barefoot Weddings.. they have great packages and prices.
I'm getting married on the North Shore of Oahu too, because FI and I are both from there. We're honeymooning on Maui, but I haven't been in a long time . I think you'll be able to find a great place on any island you pick. I think sunset would be beautiful, though you might want to get some pictures before thew edding, before it gets dark. I'm not sure about the privacy issue, but do make sure to get a permit. A lot of beaches are very busy but my photographer has done a lot of beach weddings, and it looks like there are places you can go that are often fairly private.
Hey ladies, thanks for the responses! what drew you to the North Shore of Oahu? :)
Thanks for the Hawaiian Barefoot Weddings name... I will check it out! :)
We looked into getting married in HI, but some important family couldn't make it so we stayed stateside. However we were leaning toward Tiki Moon Villas becuase you have the option of renting out the whole place for your event. Here is the website if you want to check them out. The owner Azlina is wonderful and extremely helpful. http://www.tikimoonvillas.com/tiki-moon-villas-intro
We're looking at Hawaii for a destination wedding. If we go that direction, we'll fly our parents out with us and invite everyone else to come along for a vacation where we'll just happened to get hitched.
I have done research to price out various options, and right now I favor the Big Island for its unique vistas. We specifically don't want a beach wedding because we do just about everything but hit the beach when we've been out there. If we pick the Big Island, we'll probably pick a lava field in VNP or maybe even on the shore in Pu'uhonua o Honaunau, assuming they allow weddings there like VNP.
The second option is to rent a house on the North Shore of Oahu and do it in the backyard there. The reason I'd only do the North Shore if we choose Oahu is because it's not the crazy insanity of Waikiki. Sure, it's much slower and you experience much more of the "island time," but that's what we like about Hawaii.
@BrookeBQ: We're getting married in Maui--there are a lot of nice secluded options--if you get in touch with a wedding planner they'll know where to go
Another nice option is Kula Botanical Garden--the grounds are gorgeous and you can pay about 100 bucks to get married after 4 when the park closes (but there are still plenty of hours of daylight)
@LibertyBelle: I never considered renting a house. I like the way you are thinking :)
Sending lots of love and support to my fellow destination Hawaii bees! We said our I do's on the north shore of Oahu (bay view beach point @ turtle bay) last April and I love Hawaii with all my heart. If you ever have questions, feel free to PM me. :)
The North Shore has the laid back, small town feeling that I LOVE! We are renting a house on the North Shore and it will be awesome to married on the beach in that wonderful area.

We are Canadians but we love Hawaii. I have almost no family (only 6 I could invite to a wedding including siblings and parents) and my FI's is huge. This is one of the many reasons a big wedding seems silly for us. We are thinking of marrying in Hawaii with around 10 people, just our parents and siblings.
Any advice, bees? I'm thinking Maui, but is another island better? Companies that offer wedding packages? Should we marry on the beach, or not because most are not private? Sunset wedding too cliche?
Thanks :)
