Beach at the Fairmont Kea Lani, one of the best destination wedding hotels in Maui
There are a lot of upsides to a destination wedding: You get to say "I do" in a stunning setting, you can start your honeymoon right away, and some of your, ahem, least favorite family members might not make the long trip to attend.

Luckily, Oyster can help you plan more than your honeymoon; our expertise in Hawaii and Caribbean hotels has allowed us to take some of the legwork out of the wedding planning process. Take a look at our new destination weddings page to start planning -- or start dreaming about -- your special day.
To give you a taste of our new content, we're going to show you the top nine hotels for destination weddings in Hawaii. (Want to see more photos of these hotels? Click here for the full slideshow.)
