Aloha ‘oukou, brides and grooms.  Hele mai, hele wawai, come on a walk in Waimea Valley, to see and feel the essence, the heart and the core of the valley. Then continue to wander and savor what the valley brings to you.  It may be the loveliness of lush botanical gardens, the sound of trickling streams, or the sparkle of the waterfall beneath the sunshine that catches your eye.  Or, it may simply be the serene experience of just being there.

You may become aware of the flow of timeless energy that permeates the air within the valley.  Some say it’s the mana, left by ancient spiritual practitioners, the kahuna nui, who once dwelled within the valley walls.  It is said that there is no place like Waimea Valley, on the island of O‘ahu, and very few places in the entire archipelago can equal it in terms of its religious associations.

Today we continue to look to Waimea, seeking spiritual and cultural enlightenment, and a connection with nature within the sacredness of this place.  For these reasons and those that you may seek and find on your own, the valley can be a most appropriate and complimentary setting for your wedding celebration.

E Pili Mai Weddings is honored to feature celebrations at Waimea Valley, which has long been a tradition for island weddings on O‘ahu.  Island visitors and kama‘āina alike have spoken their vows beneath the canopy of huge monkey pod trees, or within the sound of a stream, and possibly heard their closing Hawaiian wedding blessing heralded by the cry of a peacock.

Several locations are designated as wedding sites and can be reserved for your ceremony.  Reception locations with garden vistas can also be arranged, as well as tasty menus offered by an in-house caterer. As a living pu‘uhonua, a revered place of refuge and peace, Waimea Valley is truly an incomparable wedding venue, like no other. We look forward to welcoming you, your family, and friends and to seeing to their needs and comforts.  E Pili Mai weddings can assist with your wedding plans and tailor arrangements to your wishes.  A full array of services is available.

Waimea Valley and E Pili Mai Weddings extend our Aloha and Best Wishes to you for a joyous celebration, and happiness and fulfillment in the years ahead.
