Located across from Rainbow Falls in Hilo, Hawaii, The Arc of Hilo's Event Center is a scenic destination wedding venue that welcomes couples and their loved ones to the lush rainforest side of the Big Island, with aloha!

Our event & hospitality services offers a full-service experience, set amidst the rural grandeur of tropical Big Island, with the convenience of a central location near the downtown airport, hotels, and within driving distance of the Big Island's famous waterfalls, and the world's most active volcano, Kilauea, in Volcano National Park.

The Arc of Hilo's Event Center boasts an all-inclusive, affordable setting for your ceremony and reception. You can tie the knot in an open-air ceremony, surrounded by our lush landscape and botanical gardens, with gazebo, water feature and white wedding chairs, seating up to 200 guests. You can choose to remain in the garden for an outdoor reception under the protection of a marquee tent, or retreat indoors to our air-conditioned ballroom that can be adapted to your personal style, with live music and dancing.

Ideal for celebrations of up to 225 people, our reception venue incorporates a variety of floor plans and table layouts for flexibility and versatility. All our packages include complimentary white linens, full set up, clean-up, all-day access until 10pm, and complimentary ice. Although we don't provide in-house catering services, our team will provide you with a list of our recommended vendors, and both you and your selected caterer will have complimentary access to our onsite commercial kitchen.

Our Events Director will guide you and your partner through the exciting yet stressful task of planning your big day. Our all-inclusive package includes: back-to-back Friday-Saturday booking for rehearsal and wedding day, our Platinum package up to 225 guests, outdoor ceremony with white garden chairs, premium sound and A/V, and dinnerware including linen napkins. Or if you would like some but not all these options, we're happy to discuss our a la carte options, and come up with a plan that works for you!
