We are holding our ceremony at Kukio Beach. The beach can be reached through the entrance gate to Four Seasons Hualalai Resort. Turn off of Highway 19 onto Kaupulehu Drive, just south of the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort sign. Drive to the security hut and let them know you would like to go to Kukio beach. You’ll turn left just after the security hut and follow the road until you reach the parking lot. After you park, follow the walk way to Kukio Beach.
No! The state of Hawaii doesn't allow chairs, arches, or any event equipment. We ask that guests stand for the short ceremony.
We ask that guests keep their phones on silent and in their pockets during the ceremony. We have a great photographer who will take all the photos we need!
Yes! We encourage anyone who feels comfortable to speak at the reception or after-party by sharing a story or giving advice to us.
No!
Although we are getting married, this is still a beach vacation! In addition to wedding attire, bring warm-weather clothes, swimsuits, a hat, sunglasses, shoes you don't mind getting wet, and athletic/hiking attire if you plan on joining in on the hike. Hawaii has banned sunscreens containing chemical ingredients to protect their coral reefs. If you plan on getting in the ocean, please purchase mineral, reef-safe sunscreen. We recommend packing the sunscreen with you as it can be fairly pricey on the island.
Plan on low to mid 80's for the high every day with a lot of sun. The rental house is a bit higher up, so it may be in the 70's there. The hike is at 3000 feet and is known to be rainy and cloudy.
Kona Airport is an open-air airport with 9 terminals. There are not many food options available there. There is a rental car shuttle per company with a short drive (~ 5 minutes) to the rental counter.
There are some beautiful beaches here that you should check out if you have the time. Our favorites are up north in Waimea/Waikoloa Village. Mau'umae Beach - A super secluded beach with no facilities. Go to Spencer Beach Park and go to the south end of the parking lot. Follow the path for about a quarter mile, then cut in towards the shore. Mauna Kea Beach - Accessed through the guard shack at the Mauna Kea Resort. Ask the guard for a parking pass, then follow the signs. Get there early or in the afternoon as only about 30 parking passes are available. Anaeho’omalu Beach (A Bay) - Not a good swimming beach, but has really pretty sunsets and turtles. Also home to one of our favorite restaurants - Lava Lava Beach Club. Besides the beaches, the Big Island is home to quite a few waterfalls. Here are the ones we've been to: Akaka Falls - In a state park so an entrance fee is required. You walk through a lush rainforest with native plants for about 0.4 miles before reaching the waterfall. Umauma Falls - Self-tour for $5 a person to see a 3-tiered waterfall. Rainbow Falls - Easy and free to access. There is also the Volcano National Park which houses one of the world's most active volcanos. While we are doing a Kona coffee tour, the Big Island has plenty of other farm tours available.
