Hawaiian Wedding Vendors in Kona

A Hawaiian wedding on the Big Island weaves in the host culture with care — a kahu (officiant) to bless the union, an oli aloha (chant) of welcome, the exchange of lei, the sound of the pu (conch shell), and a maile lei used to bind and honor the couple. On an island so deeply rooted in Hawaiian tradition, these elements give the day real meaning. The vendors who understand them — kahu, planners, musicians, and more — serve Kona and the Big Island. Post your wedding for free, and Hawaiian wedding vendors send you proposals directly.

What to know

Start with a kahu

A kahu leads the ceremony and its blessings. Note that you would like one and vendors will help you connect.

Honor the traditions with guidance

Lei exchange, oli, and a pu are meaningful and best done with people who know them. Share what you hope to include.

Add Hawaiian music

Live ukulele, slack-key, or chant set the tone. Mention if you would like musicians.
