5 Days Getting Hitched in Hawai’i
Your Dream Wedding on the Kohala Coast
Tie the knot at one of Condé Nast Traveler’s most romantic getaways in the U.S. Beaming with spirit, Mauna Lani enjoys 3,200 oceanfront acres of idyllic beaches, sacred fishponds and sprawling lava fields that have stood the test of time. As you connect with this legendary coastline, embark on a lifelong journey steeped in unconditional love.
This itinerary is designed to be customized based on the wedding party’s preferences and availability at the time of booking.
Day 1: Arrival
Afternoon | Poolside Cocktails
Laze the day away in a cabana at the Adult Pool, rediscovering each other over before kicking off the wedding festivities. Sample ahi poke nachos and kale caesar salads with ube coladas and local beers, or nod off to the tranquil sounds of rustling palms.
Evening | Dinner for Two
Graze on yuzu oysters and shokupan pull-apart bread, or indulge in CanoeHouse’s six-course “MY” Menu. Reconnect with one another, setting wedding planning aside and treating yourselves to dreamy sunsets, postcard-worthy ocean views and the Kohala Coast’s finest fare.
Day 2
Morning | Arrivals
A thoughtful welcome bag is always a nice gesture. From heartfelt notes on vintage postcards and totes that make for the perfect beach bag to sweet treats that satisfy late night munchies, Hawai’i Island has no shortage of local delights.
Afternoon + Evening | Guest Welcome Reception
Greet friendly faces, embrace loved ones who have traveled for your big day, and revel in romance all evening long. Complete with live entertainment, light bites and an open bar, this surfside reception will set the tone for a week of celebration.
Day 3
Wedding Party | Spa Day
Decompress after a night of dancing at the Auberge Spa, where massage, body and facial treatments feature the regenerative effects of local plants and botanicals. For that radiant wedding glow, we recommend the goop Glow Facial, enhanced with a gua sha.
Wedding Party | Golf
Wrangle the crew for a round or two on Mauna Lani’s award-winning North and South Courses. Tee time is incomplete without a cold one - after cruising along the fairways, hit the Clubhouse Bar for happy hour.
For Your Guests | Pickleball Tourney
Tell your guests to bring their A-game. Donning Wimbledon white, gear up for a pickleball tournament with the whole gang at Mauna Lani’s Wellness Center & Tennis Club, where four state-of-the-art courts beckon. Complete with lite booze and bites, this experience is one for the books.
Evening | Rehearsal Dinner
Toast your soon-to-be spouse, bond with the wedding party, and most of all, have fun. Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner in the Francis I’i Brown Suite or a casual celebration on the Milo Tree Lawn, your wedding rehearsal will create memories to last a lifetime.
Day 4: The Wedding Day
Afternoon | The Ceremony
Enveloped by the dramatic beauty of the Kohala Coast and fortified by its mana (spiritual energy), your ceremony unfolds in a sacred and storied place. After exchanging vows and saying “I do,” relax in marital bliss and celebrate your union with a cocktail hour, dinner and dancing.
Evening | After-Party
To prolong one of the most special days of your lives, throw the after-party of the century. Kick off your shoes and dance the night away in one of our festive indoor venues.
Day 5
Morning | Brunch at CanoeHouse
Debrief with the gals, the guys and the grandparents with bubbles and bloody marys in hand. Begin your morning (or early afternoon) with brunch classics and beachy views at CanoeHouse, ringing in a new day in your new marriage surrounded by those you love most.
