The Big Island of Hawai’i is an idyllic location for those who would prefer to forego the pressure, expense, and occasional family drama of planning a traditional Hawai’i wedding and are in favor of an intimate ceremony with a few close friends or relatives in a tropical paradise.
Elopements allow engaged couples the freedom to plan their ceremony without worrying about an overcrowded guest list, while having the financial flexibility to make a destination wedding or an extended honeymoon possible. Most importantly, these events are more private, making for a more meaningful and memorable experience than a traditional ceremony. The Holualoa Inn offers a number of Big Island Elopement Packages tailored for couples seeking privacy, elegance, and serenity for their wedding day.

Our classic estate elopement package, Nau Wale No (Just for You), is a wonderful option for couples wanting an intimate ceremony.
