Lodging Recommendations
Our wedding ceremony will take place at Sacred Hearts Church near Waikiki, and our reception will be held in Ko Olina, about 50 minutes away. Staying in either Waikiki or Ko Olina offers very different vacation experiences. If you prefer to be near vibrant nightlife, shopping, and a variety of dining options, Waikiki may be a better fit. On the other hand, if you're seeking a more secluded resort atmosphere, Ko Olina is the ideal choice. Ko Olina is a 642-acre private community home to the Four Seasons, Aulani (Disney Resort), Beach Villas, and Marriott. In Waikiki, we’ve secured a block rate at the Halekulani and Halepuna.
