Hotel
As dedicated Hilton Honors Members, we recommend staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village or other Hiltons in the Waikiki Area. Waikiki is on the South Side of the island and is centered nicely between our ceremony and reception locations. Known for its historic "Rainbow Tower", the Hilton Hawaiin Village offers 5 pools, water slides, shopping, and more. Elvis Presley stayed at this resort many times in its hayday. Beware that this resort can get very crowded at times and the beachfront of the hotel is dissapointing. Most of the nicer and less-crowded beaches reside on the northeren and eastern sides of the island; however, these resorts can feel very distant from centralized locations and I would recommend a rental car. Waikiki, though not having the nicest beaches, is a great place to camp while exploring all parts of the island. If the resort-style is not what you are going for, I recommend booking a cheap AirBnB and using the savings to travel around the island and book excursions.
