The Kohala Coast is home to Hawaii's most stunning Big Island wedding beaches. Stretching along the leeward shore of the Big Island just 30 minutes north of Kona International Airport, South Kohala holds some of the world's finest white sand beaches and the most consistently sunny weather in the state.
From world-renowned Hapuna Beach — consistently ranked among the world's best — to the legendary Mauna Kea Beach crescent cove, the intimate Pauoa Bay, the historic palm-lined Waikoloa Beach, the family-friendly Spencer Beach Park, the local-favorite Waialea (Beach 69), and the hidden cove of Mau'umae, the Kohala Coast offers a beach for every wedding vision.

Deanna was amazing to work with from the very beginning all the way through our actual wedding. She was professional, on top of every detail, and made planning our ceremony incredibly simple. Her ceremony script options were thoughtful, and she's a warm, engaging, and organized officiant. Our guests loved the ceremony — it was a perfect fit for us as a couple.

Absolutely fantastic experience and incredible hospitality — Deanna made our most important day truly unforgettable. The contact was fast, professional, and efficient. She suggested everything beautifully and even helped me surprise Monika on our wedding day, which was the cherry on top of an already perfect experience. Dziękujemy bardzo! We recommend Kona Wedding Officiant® to any couple wanting to make their dreams come true.

We shopped around for the right person to officiate our wedding, and we couldn't be happier we chose Deanna. She exceeded our hopes and helped take our wedding to the next level — kind, serious, and funny at all the right moments. Our Hawaii wedding dream came true, and Deanna had everything to do with welcoming aloha into our lives.

Kona Wedding Officiant® made the entire elopement process a breeze. Deanna was so responsive — she answered every question we had and when the day came, we never felt lost or confused. Everything was executed and delivered perfectly. From A to Z, she has you covered: photo, video, and any extras you can think of. Her photographer and videographer were excellent too. So glad Deanna was the one who married us!

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 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!

We found Kona Wedding Officiant® by searching online, and we couldn't have pulled off our April 2025 wedding without them. Deanna is amazing — compassionate, caring, and always willing to help, even calming our stress while planning from the mainland. Her photographer Shannon has an incredible eye and vision, and we now have magical moments saved forever. Mahalo and much aloha!

Common Questions
KohalaWedding
FAQs
A few of the questions Kohala-bound couples ask us most often. Need more help? Reach out anytime →
Yes — all Kohala wedding locations require Hawaii State or County beach permits. We handle these for you on most beaches. For Hapuna Beach, a special use permit is required and we'll guide you through the application step-by-step.
It depends on guest count and vibe. Hapuna and Waikoloa work beautifully for larger groups. Mauna Kea Beach and Pauoa Bay offer intimate crescent coves. Spencer Beach Park is calmest for families. Waialea (Beach 69) is a relaxed local favorite, and Mau'umae is for adventurous couples. We help you choose during your free consultation.
Kohala enjoys 360+ sunny days a year. Morning ceremonies between 7am–8am are recommended at Hapuna and Mauna Kea Beach to beat sunbathing crowds and parking limits. Late afternoon and sunset ceremonies are spectacular at Waikoloa, Pauoa Bay, and Mau'umae.
Absolutely. View our all-inclusive elopement packages for 2, or explore our Kohala "Just The Basics" package — perfect for up to 6 guests with 45 minutes of photography, leis, permit, and your licensed officiant. Mau'umae Beach and Pauoa Bay are especially magical for elopements.
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.
