If we take the Moloka’i Lawn for example - it offers views across the coastline amid towering palm trees and vibrant native blossoms — an image fit for cinematic romance! Most locations at the hotel offer sweeping sunset views over the ocean making it perfect not only for ceremonies but also post-nuptial receptions.

What if you foresee rain or prefer an indoor setting? No worries! There are banquet halls and dining rooms like the Kanahele Room that can accommodate up to 250 people amidst its flexible open floor plan.

Customization is fundamental when it comes to weddings; no two are ever identical. With this understanding, Kaanapali Beach Hotel extends all-inclusive packages encapsulating everything from floral arrangements to ceremony music and photography.

“I purchased a photo session for my daughter-in-law as a baby shower gift, to be used for maternity or newborn photos (she chose maternity). The photos are magical - they perfectly capture their love story. Leah is a talented photographer who brings out the very best, and is so easy to work with. Both my son and daughter-in-law thoroughly enjoyed their session. If you're looking for a photographer, look no further. You won't be disappointed.”
