All-Inclusive Pricing
All Kohala Hawaii vow renewal packages are completely all-inclusive — all travel fees are included in our pricing. Some beaches such as Hapuna require a Hawaii State special use permit. We obtain most permits for you, or can guide you to apply for permits during your free consultation.
The Kohala Coast is home to Hawaii's most stunning beaches — a 30-minute drive north of Kona International Airport along Hawaii Island's sunny leeward shore. White sand, calm turquoise water, and 360+ days of sunshine make it the dream backdrop for a Vow Renewal Kohala Coast ceremony.
Couples who choose Kohala Vow Renewals are looking for that picture-perfect Hawaii moment — the kind that ends up framed on the wall and remembered for life. From world-renowned Hapuna Beach to the legendary crescent of Mauna Kea Beach, the secluded cove of Pauoa Bay, and the hidden gem of Mau'umae, every Kohala beach is a postcard waiting to happen.
Because you are already married, no marriage license is needed — making a Vow Renewal Kohala one of the simplest, most romantic ways to celebrate your love story all over again on Hawaii's Big Island.

FIVE STAR — ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE! I contacted Deanna to help us celebrate our 30-year anniversary by renewing our vows on Hapuna Beach at sunset as a surprise to my wife. I thought this would be a fun thing to do and that it might even be a little romantic. Little did I know just how AMAZING Deanna is when it comes to focusing on the moment and centering my thoughts on that place and time. The experience was far more meaningful and emotional than I ever imagined because of Deanna's soft, gentle, kind spirit and her amazing connection with this very special island. Thank you Deanna!

The incorporation of Hawaiian spiritual elements made the ceremony very meaningful, and felt authentic even though my wife and I are not Hawaiian — we could feel the meaningfulness. Deanna was amazing. She took care of a lot of things for us, coordinating the photographer, the florist, the permits, and setting up our interview to get the license. Everything was smooth and easy with Deanna. The packages were ideal — we could have exactly what we needed without anything excessive. Strongly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant® for anyone planning to get married on the Big Island. Beautiful, very moving ceremony, wonderful location at Hapuna Beach.

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. I am confident the other services offered by Deanna and Kona Wedding Officiant® would be just as top quality.

Wow! Where do I begin? Deanna is amazing. She put together our entire ceremony, provided locations, ordered our flowers and brought them to the ceremony — she even brought flowers for the ladies to wear in our hair! Service is top notch. Deanna puts together a beautiful ceremony and then provides a special touch fully customizable to your preferences. She is friendly and sweet and available always to answer questions and provide guidance. I wouldn't recommend anyone else other than THE Kona Wedding Officiant®.

Highly recommend Kona Wedding Officiant®! Deanna was fantastic. From the booking, to arranging for our marriage license, to the ceremony she made to fit us, to the actual ceremony — we never had one moment of anxiety from the planning of this big day. Deanna could tell I was anxious over the phone and suggested a Zoom call to help ease my nerves. We flew from Pittsburgh to Kona and had the most amazing wedding thanks to Deanna. We are forever grateful. And their photographer and videographer were top of the line! Don't hesitate — book them today, you will not regret it!

We found Kona Wedding Officiant® by doing a search online. We got married in April 2025 and could not have pulled this off without them. Deanna is amazing. She is compassionate, caring, and always willing to help — even calming our stress of organizing this special event from the mainland. Her photographer Shannon has an incredible eye and vision for photos, and we now have some magical moments saved forever. Mahalo and much Aloha, Deanna and Shannon! Thank you again. Blessings!

Common Questions
Kohala Vow Renewals
FAQs
A few of the questions Kohala-bound couples ask us most often. Need more help? Reach out anytime →
No, all Kohala Hawaii vow renewal packages are completely all-inclusive.
No — because you are already legally married, no marriage license is required for a vow renewal. This makes the planning process even simpler than a traditional Hawaii wedding.
8am is our top recommendation for Hapuna and Mauna Kea — the light is soft and golden, the beaches are nearly empty, and parking is easy. Late afternoon and sunset are spectacular at Pauoa Bay, Waikoloa, and Waialea. Our team helps you choose the best timing for your beach during your free consultation.
Yes — we charge sunrise fees per vendor of $850 for all locations outside of Kailua-Kona within 90 minutes of sunrise.
It depends on your group size and vibe. Hapuna handles any size and is world-renowned; Mauna Kea is the classic crescent cove; Pauoa Bay is intimate; a Waikoloa Beach Vow Renewal is best with lots of nearby lodging; Spencer is calm and family-friendly; Waialea is local and authentic; Mau'umae is the ultimate private setting for Kohala Elopements. We help you choose during your free consultation.
A Waikoloa Beach Vow Renewal at Anaeho'omalu Bay (A-Bay) is one of our most popular Kohala options — the historic palm-lined bay is where Hawaiian royalty once gathered. Renewal Vows Waikoloa ceremonies are ideal for couples bringing larger guest counts, since the Hilton and Marriott resorts at Waikoloa Beach Resort are within walking distance, making accommodations and getting-ready logistics simple. Spectacular sunsets year-round.
Absolutely — Kohala vow renewals are often family affairs. Children can walk you down the aisle, grandkids can be flower girls and ring bearers, and your whole family can witness the moment. We'll help design a ceremony that includes everyone you love.
Popular options include the Hapuna Prince Resort (near Hapuna), the legendary Mauna Kea Beach Hotel (near Kauna'oa Bay), Mauna Lani Resort (near Pauoa Bay), and the Hilton/Marriott complex at Waikoloa Beach Resort (near A-Bay). All are within a 30-minute drive of Kona International Airport.
