A styled oceanfront setting, a local wedding planner and live island music — the whole elopement, arranged by a team that works together.

Some of the most beautiful weddings on Oʻahu have no ballroom and no guest list — just the two of you, the ocean, and the people who make the moment happen. An elopement really only needs a few things: a beautiful setting, a planner who knows the island, a musician, a photographer and an officiant.
That's exactly the team we've built. We style the scene — florals, candles, cushions and a tablescape for the toast after. Hauʻoli of Weddings By Hauʻoli, a local Oʻahu wedding planner who has coordinated elopements across the island for years, brings the wedding side together. And Brandon Onishi of Kai Maloʻo Entertainment can play you down the “aisle” with live acoustic music.
You arrive. Everything else is already in place.
Five pieces, one coordinated plan. Choose all of them or only what you need.
A luxury oceanfront or garden setting by Oahu Paradise Picnic — styled for the vows and the celebration after.
Local planning and day-of coordination so the timeline, vendors and details stay calm and on track.
Brandon Onishi's warm vocals and acoustic guitar — solo, duo or trio — for your walk-up and first toast.
Candid coverage of the vows and portraits after — available through our Nani and Aliʻi packages.
A Hawaiʻi-licensed officiant to make it official — your planner helps arrange it.
Every elopement is custom-quoted. Picnic styling is booked with Oahu Paradise Picnic, wedding planning with Weddings By Hauʻoli and music with Kai Maloʻo Entertainment — each provider confirms availability and package details directly.
Share your date, guest count and what you're picturing. “We need ideas” works too.
We connect you with Hauʻoli, Brandon and the rest of your elopement team, and each confirms your date.
Bring your rings, your words and your person. The setting, music and moment are ready.
