More Reasons to Choose Oahu

Take the tension out of your wedding planning. As part of the U.S., communication is easier, currencies are the same and your guests can focus on your wedding and not on culture shock. Plus, there are more flights to Oahu from the Continental U.S. and Asia than to any other Hawaiian island and you don’t need a passport! With an array of dining options for every celebration, more activities and attractions than other Hawaiian islands for your guests to choose from and a great wedding planner to assist, O’ahu is the perfect place to start your new life.

1. SAVE MONEY! Destination weddings can save you money if you combine it with your honeymoon!
   
   
2. INTIMATE & INEXPENSIVE! If you want to keep your nuptials intimate and kept to close friends and family, destination weddings are an ideal way of cutting down a guest list to those people in your life who truly want to be there for your big day! With fewer guests you can save thousands of dollars OR perhaps, use the same dollars that you would have for your average big, hometown wedding to create your dream, luxurious destination wedding.
   
   
3. MORE FOR YOUR MONEY – Weddings don’t have to be one-day affairs. With a destination wedding, instead of four to five hours with your friends and family, why not spend four to five DAYS snorkeling, horseback riding, take family surfing lessons, learning to hula or swim with dolphins!
   
   
4. HAPPY GUESTS - Make you and your wedding guests’ dreams come true! Your wedding can be a mini-vacation for your guests, a memorable vacation with an extra special meaning.
