Sunset Ranch is an elegant 30-acre estate on the North Shore of Oahu, with ocean and mountain views of the entire northwest side of the island. With 6 stunning venues and thoughtfully designed all-inclusive packages, the estate is ideal for celebrating any special occasion.

All package offerings at Sunset Ranch provide exclusive access to the estate for 12 hours. This gives you the freedom to choose where and how you want to celebrate. Fern’s Garden, our lush botanical garden framed by towering eucalyptus trees, with views overlooking Waimea Valley, is a favorite for wedding ceremonies. Sunset Vista boasts panoramic ocean views overlooking our lower pasture; ideal for cocktails during sunset. Our largest outdoor venue, Sunset Meadow, is another popular venue for ceremonies and features our signature eucalyptus tree where clients enjoy expansive ocean and mountain views. The Courtyard Chapel hosts smaller ceremonies, and its bright space and natural light make it a client favorite for use as a dressing room and hair and make-up.

Sunset Ranch offers two reception locations: Charlie’s Pond and Sunset Stables. Charlie's Pond is our outdoor reception venue with a tranquil waterfall and stream that leads to our fountain and pond. East of the venue are two private guest suites where clients can get ready and store personal effects. Sunset Stables is our indoor reception venue and provides a unique and versatile space for a stunning rustic elegant atmosphere.

All About You!

Our team understands that every couple has a unique vision for their special day. With this in mind, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to design and create an event tailored just for you. Our packages afford flexibility through: (i) finalization of invoicing to exact head count, (ii) customizations by package element, and (iii) full category credits, so you’re not paying for something you don’t want or don’t need. We are grateful for your interest and we would be honored to serve you and make your day nothing short of spectacular!

a magical day!

We are so happy that we picked Sunset Ranch for our big day! We’re based in Seattle so we needed someone who could help us plan remotely. Ronda was absolutely amazing, she was able to guide us through every detail of wedding planning and built our confidence in party planning along the way. She made planning a destination wedding feel effortless.
The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, the perfect blend of Hawaii’s tropical beauty and wedding-esque grandeur. Our family and friends from both Hawaii and mainland were impressed. It was a little pricier than other places we were looking at but ultimately worth the price.
On the wedding day, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Ronda and her team kept everything running perfectly and if there were any issues they handled them behind the scenes because we never knew they existed. We were able to be fully present and just enjoy every moment of the best day of our lives.

Get Married Here So You Can Meet Rhonda!

Weddings are stressful, expensive and chaotic..normally. But Rhonda the coordinator literally made sure every penny was worth it! She brings a positive energy to every situation. There is nothing this woman can’t do. I was the MOH at this beautiful resort. I never wanted to get married in Hawaii but after meeting Rhonda I would want her to have every event of mine planned. Any monumental moment in my life I will ask Rhonda for advice. She is her own experience and I will forever remember how incredible she was!

Love Sunset Ranch Hawaii

I’ve had the pleasure of working at Sunset Ranch Hawaii as a wedding floral designer for 6 years, and it’s truly one of the most exceptional venues on Oʻahu. The grounds are absolutely pristine — lush, expansive, and thoughtfully maintained — offering breathtaking views that make every wedding feel magical.

From the moment you arrive on the 30-acre estate on Oʻahu’s North Shore, you sense something special. The grounds themselves feel like an elevated escape: open lawns, ocean-and-mountain vistas, water-features, and multiple venues to fit different scales and moods. As a floral designer I appreciate how the space gives us generous canvases — for ceremony settings, cocktail hours, reception layouts. The estates’ several venues (for example “Fern’s Garden,” “Sunset Meadow,” “Charlie’s Pond”) allow for mood shifts from lush garden to elegant ranch barn.


What stands out most to me is how smoothly everything flows on event days. The team runs each celebration with professionalism and ease, allowing every vendor to do their best work while keeping the atmosphere calm and joyful. Their high-quality rentals, equipment, and attention to detail make a huge difference — everything feels elevated and seamless.


It’s always a pleasure to design at Sunset Ranch. For couples looking for a venue that’s both stunning and expertly managed, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Dream Destination Wedding

I booked my wedding date at Sunset Ranch 2.5 years ago after falling in love with it online. I had never seen the venue in person, but based on the reviews and the wedding packages, I felt confident that this would be the perfect venue to host my dream wedding. Just a few months after I locked in my date, I found out I was pregnant and would be due just weeks before my original wedding day. I went into full panic mode when I reached out to Ronda, my Sunset Ranch appointed wedding coordinator, to let her know the news. Greg(owner) and Ronda did not let me stress about this and happily moved my date another year out without any further questions asked. Because of this, I was able to prepare for an incredible wedding that exceeded all my expectations. Planning a destination wedding while raising a newborn was something I never thought I would have to do, nor did I know how incredibly difficult it could be. It would have been impossible without Ronda’s help and guidance. She went above and beyond and was always honest and transparent about every decision, option, or issue that arose. I love that Sunset Ranch has vendors for almost everything already. It made the wedding planning process so much easier. Any decision between vendors or design elements that I had to make was easy due to Ronda’s suggestions.

The entire Sunset Ranch team worked seamlessly to make sure my wedding day was amazing. All my guests were in awe and could not say enough great things about the venue and team. The party favors (honey) were a hit as well! My husband and I were pretty bummed when TSA took our bottle on our way back home. The BEST part - nothing beats the natural beauty of the venue / views from the venue. Being able to pause and appreciate all the beauty around us with all our friends and family as we soaked up everything that just happened was incredible. I couldn’t be happier about where I chose to get married.

If you’re a bride that does not want the bridezilla title or to get sucked into picking out every little detail on your own and welcome help/suggestions from seasoned wedding professionals, look no further. Sunset Ranch is an absolutely gorgeous venue, with flexible packages, and a rockstar team to execute your big day.

To Ronda - thank you for being more than just a coordinator, but also a friend over the last 2.5 years. You were the perfect coordinator for my rowdy bunch of friends and a great person to talk to when I struggled to find the balance of raising a baby and planning a destination wedding. Thank you for not just treating us as clients, but as family. My wedding party, along with everyone who got to see you kill it on wedding day absolutely adored you. I’m so glad you were my coordinator! I hope to see you the next time we are back in Oahu.

Lovvvve sunset ranch!

but check out this review:

As a vendor, I can’t say enough about how exceptional our experience has been with the Sunset Ranch team. The venue itself is absolutely stunning—a breathtaking backdrop that elevates every event and makes our work as vendors shine. The grounds are meticulously maintained, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and functionality that’s a dream to work with.
What truly sets Sunset Ranch apart, though, is their top-tier staff. From start to finish, they treat vendors with the utmost respect, making us feel valued and supported. Their professionalism and warmth create a seamless collaboration, ensuring every event runs smoothly. We’re especially blessed to have Greg, who generously allows us to utilize this incredible space. His openness and trust in vendors make all the difference, and we’re so grateful for his partnership.
All the coordinators at Sunset Ranch are fantastic, but I have to give a special shoutout to Jonah, our absolute favorite to work with. Her attention to detail, proactive communication, and genuine kindness make every event a joy. She goes above and beyond to ensure vendors have everything we need, and her positive energy is contagious. Working with Jonah and the entire Sunset Ranch team is a privilege, and we look forward to every opportunity to collaborate with them!

October 2025 Bride at Sunset Ranch

From the moment we decided to have our destination wedding at Sunset Ranch, we knew we made the right choice, but the reality far surpassed our expectations. Traveling from Wisconsin with 53 guests, we hoped for a beautiful day, and the team delivered a truly life-changing experience for everyone present.

The venue's natural beauty and grace left all of our guests speechless, but the real magic was the flawless execution. Our lead coordinator, Alia, deserves endless praise. Her positivity, attention to detail, and unbelievably calm demeanor kept me feeling relaxed and happy throughout the entire process. She made sure the entire day ran smoothly and perfectly.

We were also incredibly impressed by the entire vendor team: our phenomenal officiant Rev. Nelson, our outstanding photographer TheelProductions, and our gifted videographer Redefined Weddings. The servers, bar staff, and DJ were all equally excellent, ensuring every logistical detail was handled with professionalism and a smile.

If you are currently debating a wedding at Sunset Ranch, stop debating and book it now! It's an unforgettable experience backed by an A-list staff.

Beautiful Sunset Ranch

We got married at Sunset Ranch in early October and we could not have been happier with our experience.

We had the pleasure of working with Ronda, who was responsive, attentive and reliable. Ronda helped take our ideas and make them a reality.

On our wedding day, Ronda was extremely on top of things, which allowed us to just focus on the day. She managed all the venue coordination and ensured everything went to plan.

The venue itself was perfect and we had numerous guests tell us that it exceeded their already high expectations for a Hawaii wedding. If we could do it all over again, we would pick Sunset Ranch and Ronda again without hesitation.

The most magical wedding venue ever!

We got married at Sunset Ranch in September 2025, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery, sweeping views, and a peaceful, romantic atmosphere. Every part of the property felt intentional and special, from the ceremony at Fern’s Garden to cocktail hour at Sunset Vista and the reception at Charlie’s Pond.

What truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Ronda and the entire Sunset Ranch Ohana were amazing to work with. They were kind, organized, and so genuine in making sure everything went smoothly. We felt supported throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and seamless everything was. It was the perfect mix of natural beauty and thoughtful coordination.

We are forever grateful to Sunset Ranch for giving us the most magical day of our lives. If you are getting married in Hawaii, this is the place! 💛

most amazing venue we could ever ask for

Sunset Ranch Hawaii was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. From the seamless, streamlined, and professional communication with the staff to the astonishing views and wonderful set-up, everything about our experience was exceptional. Alia, the venue coordinator, was incredibly accommodating, working with us on last-minute changes to the guest list and timeline. Our guests all agreed that this was the best destination wedding set-up they had ever seen - it had an upscale, small backyard vibe rather than feeling commercialized like a typical hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and professional, ensuring the entire day went by smoothly despite a few last-minute adjustments. We loved this venue so much and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding experience.

Sunset Ranch, Oahu is the best wedding venue

Sunset Ranch exceeded all our expectations! Not only do they include so much in their package, they are willing to work with you on your vision for your wedding day. They provide, florals, rentals, catering, desserts, bar and more! This made the planning process so much easier on my end because I didn't have to hunt for vendors and they also provide a list of preferred vendors if i needed help finding some. We loved that we didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day. There was little to no questions on last minute decisions. The day went so smoothly and the team took care of literally everything. Alia was a God-sent. We worked with her from start to finish. She communicated in such a timely and kind manner. Was transparent with logistics, timeline, and when our ideas got to crazy she offered cheaper alternatives. We were pretty stress free throughout my whole wedding planning process because they made everything so easy. They communicated with our other vendors on timeline and any changes. They help build our timeline. When we had any last minute additions even on the week of our wedding they made it happen! We would choose this venue over and over again. The property was secluded which we loved because a lot of the venues we visited in Oahu you can be open to the public. The ferns gardens, where we had our ceremony, was breath taking. It's a plus there's shade for your guests! We loved that everything is a short skip away from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception which is easy for your wedding party and guests. The reception at Charlie's Pond was covered by a beautiful white tent with a view of the field overlooking the ocean cliff. All in all, if you want an A+ team, efficiency during planning, good communication, timely communication, a kind planner, beautiful views, and the ease of a one-stop shop but still customizable to you and your partner, Sunset Ranch is the best choice.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
