Oahu is a beautiful place to get married. With so many breathtaking, photo-perfect locations to choose from you may find yourself overwhelmed and not know where to start looking. These are some of the best places to get married in Oahu because they're accessible, relatively inexpensive, are used to host weddings and some of the most visually stunning locations on the island.
Kualoa Ranch
With 4000 acres of land there are three ceremony sites, one on the beachfront and two in the gardens. The beach site known as Secret Beach is perfect for couples who want to get married on the beach. It's beautiful right at sunset and very private so you don't have to worry about tourists getting in the way. The two garden settings are very different. One is a mountain overlooking the ranch. The other features a 125-acre fish pond, the most well-preserved pond in all of Hawaii. The gardens have an amazing selection of location for photos and do have covered areas for the reception and in the case of inclement weather. These locations can accommodate anywhere from 10 to 250 people.

Waialea Beach Park
The quiet Waialea Beach Park is the perfect location for a beach wedding. It's free to use other than a $20 site permit fee. There's an island and coconut palms that provide a great setting for photos as well as a stream that runs through the park straight into the ocean. A bridge runs over the river and connects to two picnic sites where tables are set up.

Lynn Arboretum and Botanical Garden
The Lyon Arboretum and Botanical Garden is located in a tropical rain forest on 200 acres of land. Its lush tropical setting is perfect for a couple who wants to bring nature into their ceremony and celebrate the beauty within the island away from the beach. There are four different locations on the property where couples can exchange their vows ranging from an herb garden to "inspiration point."
