Kauai Wedding Locations
Kauai offers scenic tropical locations, and stunningly beautiful beaches to get married on. Please pick from our favorite wedding spots below, and check out our recommendations for wedding times (summer or winter), and what to wear for a tropical beach wedding. Please also see our map of Kauai to show you where the beaches are located.*

#8 Wailua Beach - East Side of Kauai
This is a beach that offers a really nice secluded wedding spot, perfect for a morning or mid day ceremony.

We suggest to start no later then 1 - 2 pm.
No site or drive out fees.

The North Shore locations are more lush and tropical, but Kauai's North Shore also gets more rain, which means that the weather can be uncooperative, especially in the winter months. The South Shore locations are more hot and sunny - and the weather tends to be mostly sunny. The East Shore is somewhere in between, but as the winds usually come from the east offers some nice breezes. Please make sure to wear light and airy wedding attire to feel comfortable on the beach, as heavy fabrics can make you feel over heated.

We just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for making our wedding day so incredibly amazing. When we received the pictures and the book we were totally blown away by your work and professionalism. As the wedding day was, the pictures and book were so much better then we could have ever imagined! And we had imagined an incredible day! The ease, kindness, and laughter we shared with all of you was truly memorable and made our day so special. Thank you so much for your beautiful work and your Aloha spirit!
