Moana Surfrider
While we can’t guarantee an appearance by Moana of Disney fame herself, this Honolulu wedding venue definitely lives up to its namesake. “Moana” means “ocean” in the Hawaiian and Maori languages, so it’s a fitting description for this gorgeous oceanfront wedding venue. The Moana Surfrider, which is part of the Westin hotel brand, has six different event spaces, from ballrooms to rooftop gardens and an intimate chapel. If you dream of getting married with the ocean as your backdrop, we love the ceremony lawn overlooking Waikiki Beach. Wedding packages at Moana Surfrider include catering, rental items, and event coordination, giving you plenty of time to focus on R&R (at the resort spa, perhaps?) instead of worrying about the details. Moana Surfrider is located in downtown Waikiki and is close to some of Honolulu’s best restaurants, shops, and attractions.
