Why Elope on the Big Island
Why the Big Island Is Hawaii's
Best Place to Elope
From its diverse landscapes to its laid-back island atmosphere, the Big Island offers more variety, privacy, and natural beauty than any other Hawaiian island — making it the ideal destination for couples planning an intimate elopement.
01
Unmatched Natural Diversity
Big Island elopements take you from white sand beaches and dramatic black sand shorelines to lush rainforests, volcanic landscapes, and waterfalls — all on a single island. No other Hawaiian island offers this much variety for elopement photography.
02
Privacy & Intimate Settings
The Big Island is the largest and least crowded of the Hawaiian islands, giving couples private, secluded ceremony locations that simply aren't possible on Maui or Oahu. Your Big Island elopement feels truly yours.
03
All-Inclusive & Affordable
Our all-inclusive Big Island elopement packages start at just $995 and cover every detail — officiant, photographer, leis, beach permit, and marriage license. No surprises, no stress.
Big Island Elopement Guide
Everything to Know About Big Island Elopement Packages
What Is a Big Island Elopement Package?
A Big Island elopement package is an all-inclusive wedding bundle designed for couples who want an intimate Hawaii ceremony without the complexity of planning a full wedding. Our packages combine everything you need into one transparent price — typically including a licensed officiant, professional photography, Hawaiian leis, beach permits, and marriage license filing.
These packages are perfect for couples who:
─ Want a meaningful, private ceremony in paradise
─ Prefer simplicity over a large traditional wedding
─ Are eloping with just each other or a small group
─ Want everything handled by professionals familiar with Big Island locations
─ Are planning a destination wedding from the mainland​
How Much Do Big Island Elopement Packages Cost?
Our Big Island elopement packages start at $995 and range up to $2,875 for our complete photo and video experience. Pricing depends on what's included — coverage time, number of edited images, florals, video, and add-ons. Every package includes the essentials with no hidden fees.
​
Couples who elope on the Big Island save an average of $30,000+ over a traditional Hawaii wedding while getting a more meaningful, focused experience.
Best Time of Year for a Big Island Elopement
The Big Island enjoys consistent year-round weather, making it one of the easiest islands to plan an elopement on. April through October brings the warmest, driest conditions — especially on the Kona side. November through March offers gorgeous golden light, lusher landscapes, and slightly cooler temperatures perfect for elopement photography.
Where Can You Elope on the Big Island?
The Big Island offers more elopement variety than any other Hawaiian island. Our packages cover most Hawaii State beaches and many private locations, including:
─ Kailua-Kona — White sand beaches, lava coastlines, golden sunsets
─ Kohala Coast — Five-star resorts, Hapuna, Mauna Kea Beach
─ Kehena & Punalu'u — Iconic black sand beach elopements
─ Hilo & East Hawaii — Waterfalls, rainforests, dramatic cliffs
─ Hawaii Volcanoes National Park — Otherworldly volcanic landscapes
Our team handles the Hawaii State beach permit for you, and we'll help you choose the perfect Big Island elopement location based on your vision, the time of day, and the season.
What's Included in Our Big Island Elopement Packages?

We're licensed marriage agents in Hawaii — we file your license for you.
Big Island Elopement vs. Other Hawaii Islands

With fewer crowds and more landscape variety, Big Island elopement packages consistently deliver the most magical experience for couples who want something authentically Hawaiian.

Two years ago today, Deanna married us at a beautiful spot on Kikaua Point Beach. We wanted a calm and relaxed ceremony - just the three of us, barefoot in the sand. Deanna came through with exactly that vibe for our meaningful ceremony. Easy, stress-free, perfect from start to finish. The sand-blending was our favorite part. Much aloha.

So glad we chose Deanna for our elopement! She has such a calm demeanor, and it made all the difference when we were already nervous about our special day. She was helpful from beginning to end and even gave us a list of makeup artists, beaches, restaurants, and places to visit while in Kona. Our day was just perfect - definitely recommend 100% to anyone eloping on the Big Island.

Where do I begin? Deanna is amazing. She put together our entire ceremony, provided locations, ordered our flowers, and even brought hair flowers for the ladies. Service is top notch - friendly, sweet, available, and fully customizable. The price is more than reasonable. I wouldn't recommend anyone else other than THE Kona Wedding Officiant.
