Couples who want to tie the knot in Hawaii will find unique options to make their day special and impressive. The resort's Director of Romance handles nuptials and vow renewals ranging from just two people to a party of 800.

There are three outdoor locations for weddings along with two indoor ballrooms. Each outdoor venue captures the resort's lush surroundings, waterfalls, and beach views in an enchanting manner. If couples plan accordingly, they can exchange rings as the sun sets over Kaanapali Beach. Luau ceremonies are available upon request.

All the details, from photographers to catering and cake will be taken care of by the on-site wedding planner. Couples can opt for local wedding favors such as handmade slippers, lavender gifts from a nearby farm, or gift certificates that allow guests to take advantage of resort and island activities.

To make a big impression, the resort can plan for a helicopter to drop 50,0000 orchids down at an apt moment. This “flowerworks drop” roots from the July 4th tradition to eschew fireworks for a more eco-friendly flower show, and it will be sure to dazzle guests.
