It’s no secret that the islands of Hawaii are home to some of the best wedding venues and experiences in the world, many of which we’ve talked about here on the blog before! We’ve covered our favorite places for elopements and large weddings, but today is a little different as we’re going to look at some of our favorite micro wedding venues across the islands of Hawaii. From romantic beachfronts to remote mountaintops, check out these 9 gorgeous spaces and what makes each of them special!

Why Have a Micro Wedding in Hawaii

Usually consisting of around 50 or fewer guests, micro weddings offer a one of a kind experience for couples to enjoy. Their smaller size means they’re more intimate and allow you to spend more quality time with your loved ones in attendance. They also come with a lower cost for things like catering, allowing you to put that part of your budget towards other areas of your wedding. The smaller scale also makes it easier to get creative with the layout of your wedding, like having a multi day celebration for instance. These benefits, alongside the astounding beauty that’s found throughout the islands and the venues below, are why so many couples are choosing to have their destination wedding in Hawaii be a micro wedding!
