Hawaii Oceanfront Wedding Venues

145 venues across 4 islands

145 wedding venues across all four Hawaiian islands with the Pacific as the backdrop, priced from $ to $$$$. Oceanfront is the most common venue type in the islands — bluffs, lawns, and terraces above the water that deliver the sunset photo without the on-the-sand permit rules. Every island has them; the difference is price and how crowded the view gets. By island: Oahu 46 · Maui 35 · Big Island 35 · Kauai 29. On AlohaCalendar: 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, Aloha Tower Marketplace and Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort.
