Things To Do

We are so excited to share our favorite places with you! We live in Kailua, so it might help to keep that in mind as your grand central station. Our wedding celebrations will take place on the East side of Oahu also known as the Windward side. It is lush and beautiful, but does tend to be the more rainy side of the island. A common saying in Hawaii is "If you don't like the weather right now either wait 30 minutes or drive 30 minutes." Other parts of the island offer more consistent sunshine. The West side is the dry and hot, sunny side of the island. Honolulu and Waikiki offer lots of shopping, restaurants and tourist attractions. North Shore has big waves in wintertime and hosts the famous surfing competitions. Haleiwa is a charming town with shops and restaurants.
