Hilo is the lush, tropical heart of the Big Island — a world apart from the sunny west coast. Where Kona dazzles with white sand and turquoise water, Hilo enchants with rainforests, dramatic waterfalls, and gardens overflowing with orchids, ginger, and plumeria.
Couples drawn to Hilo are the ones who want their wedding day to feel like stepping into a fairytale. Towering palms, mossy lava rock, jet-black sand beaches, and the kind of vibrant green you only find in the tropics make every photograph look like a painting.
Our Hilo wedding packages with Kona Wedding Officiant® are fully all-inclusive — licensed officiant, professional photography, fresh flower or Kukui nut leis, beach or location permit, and your Hawaii marriage license filing. Just show up barefoot or in your finest, and we'll take care of the rest.
Have questions about location, timing, or weather? Schedule a free consultation and we'll walk you through it.

From our first interaction to the final "I do," Deanna embodied the true spirit of aloha. We felt completely seen throughout the entire planning process — every detail that mattered to us mattered to her. She guided us through writing our vows with insight and warmth. On the day of our black sand beach wedding, she was nothing short of extraordinary. Tara Tuttle, our photographer, captured every precious moment.

Deanna was amazing to work with from the beginning through to the actual wedding. She was very professional and on top of everything, making planning our ceremony very simple. She had great ceremony script options and was a warm, engaging, and organized officiant. Our guests loved the ceremony and it was a perfect fit for us as a couple.

This review is long overdue! 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 the vibe we wanted for our meaningful ceremony. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. The "sand blending" was my favorite part.

So glad we chose Deanna for our elopement! She has such a calm demeanor — and it made all the difference when we were already so nervous about our special day. She was very helpful from beginning to end and provided a list of make-up artists, beaches, restaurants and places to visit. Our day was perfect. Definitely recommend 100% to anyone thinking of eloping on the Big Island!

Wow! Where do I begin? Deanna is amazing. She put together our entire wedding ceremony, provided locations, ordered our flowers and even brought flowers for the ladies to wear in our hair. Service is top notch. She is friendly, sweet, and always available. Thank you for providing us with one of the most special moments of our life!

Deanna put together a wonderful wedding day for my husband and I. Throughout the planning process she gave us ideas and proactively followed up to make sure we were all set for our special day. Our adventure elopement was spectacular and enchanting. Thank you Deanna!

Common Questions

FAQs
A few of the questions Hilo-bound couples ask us most often. Need more help? Reach out anytime →
No — our Hilo packages with Kona Wedding Officiant® are completely all-inclusive. Travel from our Kona home base is built into every price, and there are no hidden fees. Some specialty locations such as Kulaniapia Falls do require a separate venue permit, which we'll help coordinate during your free consultation.
Yes — most Hawaii State beaches and parks require a wedding permit. We handle this for you for most locations. If permits aren't included for a specific spot, we will guide you through the process to obtain one.
Hilo is famously lush — and that rainforest beauty comes from frequent showers. Most rain happens overnight or briefly during the day, and it's part of what makes Hilo so magical. We are locals to the island, so last-minute back-up plans such as location changes or date adjustments can be accommodated as needed.
It depends on the vibe and your guest count. Lili'uokalani Gardens and Onomea Bay are dramatic and tropical; Coconut Island and Carlsmith are quiet and intimate; Richardson's and Honoli'i offer iconic black sand. We help you choose during your free consultation.
Yes — locations like Kulaniapia Falls offer private waterfall ceremonies (separate venue permit required, which we'll help coordinate). Other waterfalls inside state parks have specific rules. We'd love to discuss your vision during your consultation.
Hawaii makes it easy — there's no waiting period or residency requirement. We walk you through the application and handle all of the filing for you. Learn more on our Marriage License page.
