Wedding Wednesday: The Kahala Hotel and Resort, Oahu
The Diamond Head Gazebo at the Kahala Hotel and Resort fits 150 guests. The Koko Head, located nearby, can fit 300.
When done right, there's nothing better than a destination wedding: The gorgeous scenery, unique setting, and vacation-like vibe will stay with your guests well past the walk down the aisle (no matter how much they indulge in the post-nuptial cocktail hour). And if you have your eye on Hawaii, few places do a better job than the Kahala Hotel and Resort in Oahu. A celebrity retreat since 1964, the Kahala might be the best hotel on the island, with a more "laid-back luxe" than "pretentious glitz" vibe that will help to calm your nerves before the big day. Plus, the hotel can handle everything for the bride and groom -- photographers and videographers, musicians, decorations, and food can all be arranged by the on-site wedding manager -- with your input, of course. Additional fees do add up if you choose to bring in "non-recommended" vendors, but with a gorgeous ceremony location at spots like this beachfront gazebo, your wedding photos will be breathtaking. The Kahala's Kissing Point, however, may be the most picturesque spot to snap a shot. Check out more wedding-inspired photos at the Kahala now »
