3. Exceptional Dining Experiences

A luxurious wedding deserves a gourmet dining experience.  Kauai's resorts boast award-winning chefs who create mouthwatering menus featuring fresh, local ingredients.  Imagine poolside receptions with pupus (appetizers) showcasing island flavors (Hanalei Colonoy Resort) or elegant sit-down dinners served in opulent ballrooms with panoramic ocean views (Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa). Your guests will be treated to a taste of paradise, savoring the unique culinary dishes Kauai has to offer.

4. Breathtaking Venues for Every Dream Wedding

Exchange vows on a secluded beach (The Club at Kukui‘ula) or beneath a cascading waterfall (Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa).  Kauai's resorts offer a variety of stunning venues to suit your taste.  Celebrate under a canopy of stars with the sound of waves serenading you (Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort & Spa) or amidst meticulously landscaped gardens (The Club at Kukui‘ula).  These exquisite locations will create a picture-perfect backdrop for your special day.
