Moli’i Gardens | Oahu Wedding Photographer

If you are looking for a magical location for your wedding, look no further! Moli’i Gardens at Kualoa Ranch is the place you have always dreamed of. Located next to ancient Hawaiian fishing ponds, you can’t beat the scenery around this incredible venue. From the coconut and banyan trees to the beautiful Ko’olau mountains, there is beauty everywhere you look around you! 

I have had the incredible opportunity to spend time here with several couples on their wedding day. One of the coolest parts about this location is that you can choose to host your ceremony on the beach on their secret island across the pond. Your guests are treated to the most epic boat ride to your ceremony, and then they return to the garden for your reception. Talk about a killer location! This makes for such a fun guest experience and elevates your event.

Not only is there a secret island across the pond, but there is a pavilion on the garden grounds in case you would prefer your ceremony there. No matter where you decide to tie the knot on the property, the garden is where it’s at to celebrate your new marriage. Imagine entering with your new partner down a beautiful, curved staircase into the garden for your party. What an entrance!

Rainy Hawaiian days are no problem at this outdoor location. In addition to the covered pavilion, you can arrange for a tent to cover your reception area, like some of my clients have done. Not only are you protected from any showers, but the string lights at night create the perfect vibe for your celebration with family and friends. You can still enjoy all the gorgeous scenery while you dance the night away with your love.

Moli’i Gardens at Kualoa Ranch is definitely worth exploring for your big day. The breathtaking views and unique guest experience can’t be beat! It is also the perfect place for incredible portraits of you and your new spouse. I fall in love with this venue again every time I shoot here, and I’m sure you will, too!
