Kualoa Ranch

The location was AMAZING! While we have only received some pictures back, the backdrop was stunning. The staff also were extremely punctual and helpful with all things wedding, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a destination wedding spot. Between the gardens and the secret island, we could not ask or dream of a better location.

This was the most gorgeous wedding venue! I don't know if it's the magic of having the Ko'olau mountains on one side and then having the ocean and Mokoli'i island on the other but we were mesmerized the moment we set our eyes on those mountains. Most of our guests have never been to Hawaii and we wanted them to experience the sheer majesty of this venue as well. Our guests were speechless to say the least. They did not know where to look next because everything looked so beautiful. Not only were we able to have this place as our wedding venue, we were able to return the following day for a UTV Raptor tour and show our guests even more of Kualoa Ranch!

Kualoa Ranch was a beautiful location for our wedding. Their team was so easy to work with and provided all of the information we needed quickly. The price for the venue was reasonable, but just want those not from the area know that the other expenses to have your wedding at this location do add up since it is 45 minutes from Honolulu (transportation) and you have to bring in a caterer. But still, very reasonably priced for the location and what they offer. We married at Paliku Gardens so there was a covered space for our dinner, bridal suite with air conditioning (necessary for our northern plains relatives, kitchen and restrooms. The photos are a better review than anything I can write.

Our experience with Kualoa Ranch at Paliku Gardens was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Guests could not stop raving about how incredible the location of this wedding was! The venue team's communication is extremely quick and professional. Their grounds are meticulously cared for and their communication of expectations from a planning perspective are extremely clear. As a planning team, we look forward to returning to this stunning location for years to come!

I’ve only communicated with the staff at Kualoa ranch through phone calls and emails, and everything went soo smoothly. Everyone I spoke to was so kind and expressed excitement for our wedding! They were also very responsive and quick to update things and send me reminders when indicated, which were very helpful. The venue we picked was Moli’i Gardens, we were lucky enough to be one of the last couples to get married there! The grand stairs and the dock, with the view of the mountains, I just cannot explain in words how beautiful this place this.

Beautiful venue with friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend for weddings or other large events.

We had the most beautiful wedding at Molii Gardens at Kualoa Ranch. It is so lush, green, and will make your special day feel like a true fairytale under the trees! Birds chirping and all. The convenience of having bathrooms and an abundance of outlets was also very helpful. We were so happy with our wedding at this venue, I can't recommend enough!

The view is breath taking. I would do it all over again. My ceremony was everything I could have imagined

Such an amazing venue! The views are absolutely amazing. The staff here ( both wedding managers and the catering team) were very responsive and easy to work with. You get to make the space however you like, using vendors you choose :) If you’re looking for a tropical, stunning, and unique destination wedding location, this one should be on your radar! P.S. We went with the Kualoa Ranch catering and not only was it cost effective, it was also delicious!

We got married at Paliku Gardens on 3/10/2023. The location is stunning! The grounds are very well kept and the views are amazing. We loved how open the entire venue was and guests could also walk around and take it all in. The booking process was easy. I received a response within 24 hours and we went back and forth a few times one dates and within 72 hours the venue was booked! Highly recommend and Kualoa Ranch will always have a special place in our hearts.

Kualoa Ranch was an absolute DREAM wedding venue. We had our ceremony at Jumanji and our reception at Paliku and are honestly thinking about getting divorced just so we can get married all over again. The team at Kualoa made the process very easy and were excellent communicating through the whole experience. They assisted us in a professional, informative and friendly manner and we highly recommend this venue to anyone considering it!

Everything I wanted I got!! Tiana and Sasha were great! I highly recommend Secret Island!! Loved it!!

Paliku Gardens was even better in person than the pictures. The views were phenomenal and Kualoa Ranch was great to work with! So glad we chose them for our wedding day venue!

It was my husband and I’s dream to have our wedding at Kualoa Ranch. Paliku Gardens has STUNNING views of both mountains and ocean. Our guests were also in awe of Kualoa Ranch. Everyone we were in contact with at Kualoa answered our questions quickly and were super helpful! We are so lucky to have had our wedding at such a beautiful location on the most perfect day in November!

We had a great time at the Paliku Garden! A beautiful location with stunning views of mountains and ocean. Highly recommend!

The Moli'i Gardens and Secret Island Venue deliver a master class in wedding venue design and support. Everything that a couple needs or wants is available and seamlessly provided. On top of the process, the venue provides world-class natural beauty and transports guests into a magical paradise. Highly recommend this venue.

This is the most beautiful venue for your wedding!!! This was our first and only venue that we looked at. As soon as we saw it, we fell in love with it and immediately booked our wedding here! Everyone who was in contact with us at Kualoa was super helpful and answered all our questions quickly! They were so great! We are so blessed to have had such a beautiful day for our ceremony and reception at Molii Gardens, the weather was absolutely perfect which is surprising for end of November in Kaneohe. Truly blessed. Views on top of views. BEST DAY EVER!

We were married at Secret Island and had our reception at Moli'i Gardens and it was stunning. We had a super rainy day to contend with, but in the end that did not matter. Secret Island is beautiful, even when cloudy and wet, Moli'i is magical and the staff are super friendly. We are so lucky to have had our special day in such a beautiful place. The whole process of working with Kualoa was stress-free and we loved all that this venue had to offer.

Having our wedding at Moli'i Gardens was truly a dream! My husband and I were quite ambitious and booked our venue, sight-unseen, at the beginning of the year, for September 2 destination wedding. The team at Kualoa Ranch were super responsive and more than gracious to answer any questions we had about the venues Kualoa Ranch offers. Ultimately, we went with Moli'i Gardens because of our vision of a garden wedding with the mountains in the background. I will have to note, this venue pretty much is a blank slate. They do include chairs and tables (100 chairs, 20 tables total,) but everything else you will need to coordinate and book. It felt daunting at first, but it is definitely doable with the right support (you NEED a coordinator to book with Kualoa Ranch,) and thoughtful planning. Overall, a great value for a BEAUTIFUL, breathtaking and memorable wedding. 1000% recommend.

I highly recommend Kualoa Ranch for your wedding or event! We had a destination wedding at Moli’i Gardens and despite living in a different state on a different time zone, the staff was easy to communicate with via email throughout the process and were knowledgeable and helpful. We booked Kualoa Ranch Catering for our cocktail hour and dinner and everything was fresh and delicious. The executive chef, Chef Kimo, was extremely helpful, friendly, had great suggestions, and was easy to work with. Ourselves and our guests really enjoyed the food! We were able to schedule a venue walk-through prior to our wedding, which was really helpful to map out reception layout with our planner. We also were able to schedule a photoshoot for wedding day portraits at Secret Island, which was a really special and fun experience to go on the catamaran for some additional portraits. Because Kualoa is such a busy venue, both the walk-through and the additional photoshoot location could only be scheduled one month out. As a result, we had to be flexible regarding walk-through dates and for an additional photo location, we booked our 2nd choice, since the first choice was already booked— however, it worked out wonderfully and we ended up loving Secret Island! Moli’i Gardens was such a beautiful venue for our wedding and we had an amazing time! The only potential downsides would be 1) not having the ability to schedule certain things more than one month out and 2) some of the facilities like the restrooms and bridal suite at the venue are a bit on the older side (totally not a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind for getting ready photos, we had ours taken at a hotel instead because of this). Overall, we had such a wonderful experience and are so grateful for the wonderful staff and customer service that Kualoa Ranch Provided!

As a coordinator myself, I work at Paliku Gardens in Kualoa Ranch very often and it never gets old! As often as I am there, this still holds top on my favorite venues on Oahu. My friends and family were SO mind blown from the amazing views the ranch has to offer and the could not stop going on and on about it. Leading up to the wedding I worked with Tiana and Leila who were both extremely professional and responsive with any questions I had. On the day of Rocky was there to assure that everything was taken care of both in the morning and evening! Rocky, you're the GOAT :) Thank you to everyone at Kualoa Ranch for hosting the best night of our lives! We will forever be grateful!

https://youtube.com/watch?v=tY9D4v5CMfg <- video highlight of our wedding ceremony at Secret Island Kualoa Ranch. 5+ stars well deserved, thank you so much for a wonderful Hawaii Beach Wedding experience 🏝🙌😊.

For years, my boyfriend and I drove by Kualoa Ranch on our way to the North Shore beaches of Oahu. We would always say what a beautiful area it was and if we get married this would be the spot. Fast forward 3 years and just last weekend we tied the knot right there at Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch. It goes without saying the space is perfect for a wedding (our guest count was approx 100 people) and all our guests loved the backdrop. As the bride, I did use the bridal suite with my ladies and thought it was simple and nice. Had all the necessary things like a really good AC unit, a nice couch area and a private bathroom. Note there are no windows, so pictures do have to be taken outside. The staff were incredible to work with, responded fast and surely made the day perfect. The small thing I'd mention as a bit of a negative is the grass area near the top of the pavilion where we had our tent set up was pretty brown compared to what I saw when I toured in December. Wish they could have fixed that for us who had summer weddings. Overall though I'd 100 recommend it for your wedding events!

We had our wedding at Molii Gardens on April 30, 2022. The venue was gorgeous. We had the ceremony on the lower lawn right next to the water. My wife and the wedding party descended the large staircase framed with lush trees and plants. We had the reception on the upper lawn. The pavilion to the side of the upper lawn served to cover the caterers. The lawn itself provided ample room for all the tables, dancefloor, and other necessities. Everything was surrounded by lush greenery and framed by the Koolaus in the distance. It was more picturesque than we could have imagined. Somehow, the service we received from Kualoa Ranch was almost just as beautiful. We specifically dealt with Leila, who worked closely with us and our coordinators to ensure we had everything we needed and were patient with our many questions and concerns. We can’t thank Kualoa Ranch enough, and Molii Gardens will always hold a special place in our lives.

We had our ceremony at Secret Island at Kualoa. It was the perfect venue! The Kualoa wedding events team was fantastic and always punctual with communication. We had an amazing experience!

I can't imagine a more naturally beautiful wedding venue. Everyone at my wedding was so impressed with the Low Camp site. All of the coordinators I worked with were very responsive, and I received my deposit back a few days after the wedding. It was a 5 star experience from star to finish. We also went zip-lining as a family the day before the wedding at the ranch, and my parents and in-laws had a blast. It was the perfect activity for us to all spend some time together. Thank you Kualoa Ranch for an unforgettable experience.

This was the most amazing venue! We rented out Molii Gardens and it exceeded our expectations. All of our guest that flew from California to Oahu were absolutely in love with the views. The company itself was amazing and very efficient.

Our wedding at Moli'i Gardens was so lovely. The Kualoa Ranch team was really responsive and easy to work with. The venue itself was just stunning. We loved having a separate space for the ceremony, the grand entrance stairs, and the pavilion in case it rained. The fishpond, palms, and mountains made such a stunning backdrop for our wedding.

As a bride who started the planning process during the height of the pandemic, I was looking for an entirely outdoor venue to accommodate as many guests as safely as possible for a gathering. There are multiple ceremony and reception sites to choose from even within Paliku Gardens! Due to the large lawns, I was not worried about it being too crowded even with a high guest count. The fact that this venue was highly customizable for me made it that much more appealing because I could really make this wedding representative of who we are. Leila was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure that we were always on the same page. I was given a preferred vendor list early on, which is how I found many vendors including my amazing planner/coordinator. Kualoa Ranch in general has a lot of experience with many great vendors that I was already interested in which made me confident that the wedding would go smoothly and it did. My favorite part about having our perfect day at Paliku Gardens was the view. It honestly speaks for itself and is probably the most memorable part of our wedding for our guests. The views are unbelievable and as someone who was born and raised in Hawaii, it was still so breathtaking. I feel like I saved so much money on decor because the venue does most of it for you!

We couldn’t have been happier with our wedding venue choice at Kualoa Ranch - Paliku Gardens. The most gorgeous variety of views is why we fell in love with it. You get ocean, mountains, beautiful landscaping and a touch of country. The fact that Kualoa provides tables, chairs, a bar area, pavilion area and a bridal suite was a huge plus for us, a great value for all you are getting. I would highly recommend getting married here!

Kualoa Ranch was beyond breathtaking with their views at Paliku Gardens. We got married 1-21-22 and during the planning stages it was a rollercoaster with covid guidelines. Leila was always great at helping answer questions during our planning and never making me feel like I was overly worried. I wouldn't change anything about our choice of venue. Nothing better!

Planning a wedding in Hawaii during the middle of a pandemic is no easy task. We could not recommend Kualoa Ranch and Best Day Ever more! We not only received many emails walking us through the planning process and any changes to local laws, but the delivery was outstanding! My wife and I have said over and over again that our wedding was as beautiful and as perfect as we could have possibly wanted. We have these memories for the rest of our lives, and we both would recommend anyone wanting their own perfect Hawaiian wedding experience to go the same route that we did. Thank you so much Kualoa and Best Day Ever for giving us our own best day ever!

Wow! What an incredible venue! The team was wonderful to work with and were beyond patient/accommodating due to all the back and forth with COVID restrictions. We were married at the Moli'i Gardens which is beyond magical. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful! Easy to work with, no problems even though we had to cancel and reschedule due to COVID. Great set up for a wedding, both ceremony and reception. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot!

Amazing venue with beautiful backdrop! The beach was private and the views were stunning. Leila was great to work with!

Kualoa ranch was the absolute best wedding venue. There are no better views in all of Hawaii in my opinion!!! After living there for a few years i knew i wanted to have a wedding near the water & mountains & this was it. The staff were amazing and every single person on site were over the top kind warm and welcoming. They also helped us move the wedding to one day prior due to mandates and this all took place within 24 hours! So we were thrilled. Nothing but great things to say!

My (now) husband and I got married here May 17th of this year and let me tell you, this place is absolutely beautiful! From the majestic mountains to the lush vegetation to the stunning ocean views - you really cannot go wrong with any of the venue sites at Kualoa Ranch. It truly is a feast for the eyes! --- My husband and I decided to go with Paliku Gardens for our ceremony and reception. We actually booked this venue before ever seeing it in person (we live in California). But once I watched the video they have on their website, I was sold. --- Paliku is one of two venue sites that offers a bridal suite. There is also an ad-on space called Hale Kupuna (I call it the groom room) that can be reserved for an additional fee ($500 I believe). I really have nothing bad to say about this venue except for that the bridal suite, while very cute, has subpar lighting (no windows). Unfortunately, I do not love any of the bridal portraits we took inside of the suite. The "groom room," however, was totally worth the extra cash. It has big windows, lots of natural light, and is very close to the main site. I would've definitely gotten ready in there instead of the bridal suite had I know it also offered a/c. --- Paliku Gardens was perfect for our intimate wedding of 25. We opted to save some cash by foregoing the tent rental and decided to use the pavilion instead. We hung some fabrics and lights and transformed the pavilion into a dreamy reception space! They also have an amazing wood slab bar that they've recently installed. I would definitely recommend celebrating your special day at Kualoa Ranch.

Matt and I got married at Kualoa Secret Secret Island on 8/1/21 and it was the best decision we've made. The view was breathtaking and truly spectacular. We had about 37 guest and our guests couldn't stop raving how beautiful our ceremony was. It was beautiful, intimate and romantic. The staff at Kualoa Ranch made it truly special and memorable for us. Leila was amazing and super responsive. Secret Island is absolutely the most perfect place to tie the knot! We couldn't be happier and couldn't ask for more.

Our wedding day at Paliku Gardens was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have picked a more romantic and picturesque Hawaii setting. This site captures a gorgeous ocean view with the mountains behind us. They offer a list of preferred vendors for their weddings. Justine Miller was my wedding planner and day of coordinator. She was absolutely amazing to work this. The execution was nothing less than phenomenal for our outdoor wedding. In terms with booking with the ranch, they went up and beyond to accommodate multiple changes in our date during COVID. In fact, they refunded us the difference between our original payment for a weekend to a weekday. They were easy to reach and were always super pleasant. Amazing customer service!

We got married at Paliku Gardens and it was absolutely amazing. The views are gorgeous and we are in LOVE with our wedding pictures!! It was very easy to work with Kualoa Ranch and Leila, especially when we had to reschedule due to Covid. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we're so grateful we chose Kualoa Ranch!

We got married on July 27, 2021 at Paliku Gardens. We cannot express how much we absolutely love Kualoa Ranch. When looking for a venue it had everything we wanted and more. We booked Kualoa sight unseen and it lived up to everything we wanted. Absolutely stunning views and ambiance. Your wedding photos could never look bad with the stunning back drop of this venue. It is also more affordable than many venues these days especially with the ability to use their tables and chairs which we took full advantage of. Leila made our experience so seamless and easy. Mahalo Kualoa Ranch!

Kualoa Ranch was everything we could've dreamed of as a wedding venue and more. With Paliku Gardens, we got the best of both worlds: the ocean (plus Chinaman's Hat Island) and the mountain as backdrops. We loved the fact that we were able to select any vendors to work with and that Kualoa gave us a brochure containing a list of all the recommended vendors. Such a great value for a wedding venue of our dreams. The manager, Leila, was super responsive and informative. She was wonderful and made sure to provide us with all the information we needed to plan and prepare for our big day. In addition, with COVID going on, updates on guidelines and re-opening were consistently communicated to us which we really appreciated. The whole process was so smooth and we couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with.

We had our wedding at Moli’i gardens and it was beyond everything we wished for. The area was so luscious and green. All the foliage was amazing. I’m a plant person so it was beyond my dreams. They were very easy to work with as well. In regards to rescheduling 3x during the pandemic they were very easy to work with! If I had to do it all over again I’d pick Kualoa ranch over and over.

Kualoa has several beautiful venues to choose from. I chose Moli'i Gardens which is near their fishpond. You can have your ceremony near the pond then your reception on a field or in their pavilion. They have tables and chairs for you to use and a list of vendors that they have worked with in the past. You are allowed to have your own vendor come in. When I was first booking, the responded quickly. However, when places started to open up from COVID restrictions, they started getting busier and it took days (even a week once) to hear back from them. When I did hear back, they apologized for the long wait and said it may take 72 hours to get a response from them since they are getting busier. However, once I did my site tour, I was able to book the venue with no issues at all. If you want a venue that is in its own litter world, I would suggest Kualoa!

Absolutely stunning wedding venue!! My wedding venue was the Hale Nanea & Dragon Boat Lawn. Breathing taking views and great amounts of space. So cool to see where films were shot as well, right at our venue. Highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting a one of a kind Hawai'i wedding. Leila and her team are the best. Mahalo to the Kualoa Ranch wedding team for helping us out! We lost our original wedding venue due to COVID restrictions and Leila was able to get us booked with Kualoa Ranch just 2 months before my wedding day.

If you are looking for an outdoor, open-air wedding with GORGEOUS views of mountains, or ocean, or both, then look no further than Kualoa Ranch. They offer multiple venue options, and most of them come with "packages" that include tables, chairs, bathrooms, kitchen access, etc depending on which venue you select. Leila (the main wedding coordinator for Kualoa) and her entire team at Kualoa Ranch are a blessing from the wedding heavens. They are professional, responsive, and super helpful from day one. We were a COVID couple, so we had to struggle with multiple rescheduling attempts and changes to plans, but Kualoa was super accommodating and understanding throughout the whole process. We personally chose Low Camp, which is a completely remote location (meaning no electricity or bathrooms, just a cute little water hose for water access) located in the most beautiful Ka'awa valley (literally where Jurassic park and various other films were shot). This gave us the freedom to completely design the wedding ourselves (with the help of a wedding planner of course). Requirements may have changed since COVID happened, but I believe all the venues you are permitted to bring in your own preferred vendors (food, alcohol, rentals, etc), and Leila provides a very nice list for you to choose from if you don't have any ideas of your own. Popular dates and weekends book up quickly, so I would recommend reserving a date for your venue at least 1 year in advance (especially for the popular sites like Paliku gardens, Secret island, etc). I don't know what else to say except if you are even thinking about having any kind of outdoor wedding, schedule a visit with Kualoa Ranch, you will not regret it!

Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch Planning a wedding during a pandemic isn't easy for anyone. It's even harder to plan it on a site you've never visited before, but Leila and her team provided us with the best experience one can have prepping for a destination wedding. Getting married at Paliku Gardens was an absolute dream. The pictures of this venue don't even do it justice. It's a wonderful change of scenery from your typical Hawaiian beach wedding, and there are so many options on how you can lay out your ceremony and reception at this location alone. The price was very reasonable and their team was very professional. You will not be disappointed with this venue and everything it has to offer. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We LOVED our venue!! We chose to host the wedding at Molii Gardens and Secret Island, which was absolutely the best choice. We kept the intimate boat ride over to the private beach island as a surprise to our guest and they were all blown away by the beauty. It definitely added another element. During every tour, rehearsal, event my fiance and I were so happy with the beauty and the privacy of the venue. The people who work there were always really nice and professional as well. The venue is an incredible value especially because they let you choose your own vendors including catering and alcohol. I could not recommend this venue more!

I wish I could give Leila 100 stars! My husband and I have been planning our wedding since late 2018 and she has been a complete joy to work with. We toured venues in California (local to us), Kauai and Oahu. Once we saw Paliku Gardens, we knew this was the place for us. With or without the pandemic, her communication was great and I was never worried about our venue or rescheduling. I would recommend Leila and her venues to anyone looking to get married in Oahu!

Easy to work with and was very helpful in making uncertain times due to COVID, very certain.

My husband and I knew this was the venue we wanted for our special day. Our wedding day was the one day we would be photographed the most in our entire lives, so we wanted to have a beautiful backdrop for all the photos and video. The team at Kualoa, especially Leila, helped make our dream a reality! We are so happy we were able to get married at Kualoa, and the venue has breathtaking views. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We highly recommend getting married or eloping at Kualoa Ranch.

Wedding was scheduled at Paliku Gardens for April 27, 2020, which was involuntarily canceled because Kualoa Ranch was closed due to the shelter-in-place. No one from Kualoa Ranch reached out to us to inform us about the venue closing, and our wedding planner, Justine from Luana Events (Kualoa's preferred vendor), claimed that she found out the exact day we saw the closure on their website, which we found questionable. We were only offered 50% of our deposit back based on their cancellation policy, which shouldn't have applied, as this was not a voluntary cancellation. Per our wedding planner, we were not entitled to a full deposit because Kualoa offered to postpone our event without a fee. Nowhere in our contract does it say this, and it's clearly a ploy to keep as much of the funds as possible. As a destination wedding with family and friends flying in from mainland and internationally...this was convenient for the venue to suggest, but an unreasonable offer for us. It was a lose-lose situation, and the venue clearly doesn't care about us as clients...in the end, it's all about financially benefitting during this pandemic. It's really unfortunate to come across many wedding vendors with this "tough luck" attitude. Once they have your money, you are at their mercy, they can do what they want and make up the rules at your expense. Even if a meteor was about to hit the earth, they would still come up with an excuse to keep your money. Zero compassion and empathy.

We got married at the Paliku Gardens at Kualoa Ranch in January 2020. We started planning our wedding in September 2019 for the early 2020 nuptuals and booked the venue site unseen after researching other sites in Oahu, Kauai, Puerto Rico, and locally (for us) in California. We worked with Leila on the wedding venue and she also helped us plan a beach day so we could spend more time with friends following the wedding. My husband and I couldn't dream of a more beautiful venue for our wedding! Paliku Gardens was the perfect venue and backdrop to celebrate our union with all of our loved ones. We were also so so happy to keep the celebration going the following day at Secret Island - one of the highlights of our wedding weekend. Their team was so friendly and accommodating at the wedding and made everyone relaxed and happy at the beach. We had a blast bringing our group to chill on the beach, enjoy a catered lunch, and enjoy all of the activities the island offered. Our only regret is that we can't be there now. Thank you!

Amazing venue with breathtaking views! Perfect for elopement. No other place in the island is as beautiful as this one!

We had our wedding at Paliku Gardens, Kualoa Ranch, and it was a dream wedding! The location was just magical and luscious with tropical trees and bushes, and had an incredible view of the ocean. The venue was surprisingly spacious and gave us many options to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception within the same venue, but with different views and scenery. The venue also provides 150 chairs and 15 tables (seats 10 each), a dressing room, a kitchen area (no stovetop), a pavilion (an option if it rains hard), and parking for all your guests. The booking process was easy, and so was the walk-through. Just be aware that you do have to have a day-of coordinator, which we definitely appreciated having. The venue also provides a wedding discount for activities at the ranch if you decide to do pre-wedding activities like we did (highly recommended)! Only thing with Kualoa Ranch is that it is approximately a 35-50min drive for all of your guests from anywhere really, so have a plan for transportation. We hired a bus with Royal Star, and that turned out to be a great idea. Overall, excellent location, amazing views, and just a magical time for your guests!
