Deanna and Zachary’s Big Island beach wedding was a celebration of love and joy, marking a new chapter in their lives together.

Their love affair with the Big Island began in 2019, when they first visited and fell for its enchanting culture, stunning landscapes, and welcoming people. Having returned several times since, they knew it was the perfect place to say ‘I do.’ Their engagement on their four-year anniversary in the breathtaking landscapes of Utah set the tone for a wedding filled with love and laughter!

Deanna was a vision in her unique, fresh short dress, perfectly complementing the laid-back vibe of the beachy setting. And Zach complimented her handsomely in a beachy-colored suit. The couple walked barefoot along the shore of ʻAnaehoʻomalu Beach. And soaking in every precious moment, the waves gently lapped at their feet.

Paul and Ellie’s Big Island beach wedding is a gorgeous day of love, laughter, and a touch of Hawaiian magic!

Their love story began in the digital realm, where online dating brought them together over eight years ago. From that moment on, they became inseparable, sharing their lives and adventures for nearly a decade. After a move to Nebraska for a fresh start, Ellie took the reins and nudged Paul towards the next step – purchasing the engagement ring that would symbolize their commitment! Sometimes a nudge is all ones need! They were excited to begin their next chapter together having never been to Hawaii island. And what better place to tie the knot than on the breathtaking beaches of the Big Island?

Aloha Spirit

With the gentle ocean breeze caressing their faces, Paul and Ellie exchanged vows surrounded by the love and support of their closest friends and family. Hawaiian touches and sacred traditions added a unique and memorable flair to their ceremony, infusing the day with the spirit of aloha. We love how they embraced the island spirit in their vows!

As they stood hand in hand on the sands of Old Kona Airport, the beauty of their love shone brightly against the backdrop of the sea. Their ceremony was intimate and focused on their promise to love and cherish each other forever. It doesn’t get any more romantic than that does it?

But the true marvel came as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of gold and pink. Wrapped in each other’s arms, Paul and Ellie basked in the warm glow of the sunset, their hearts full of love and the promise of a future filled with endless adventures! The lava rocks added a signature island touch to the scene. Ellie’s veil fluttered in the breeze making it feel even more ethereal…

Congratulations to the newlyweds, may your love continue to shine as bright as the Hawaiian sun! We were honored to bring your beautiful day to life! All of us at Simple Hawaii Wedding send you love and aloha for your future ahead!

Aloha! We are so happy you have found us! We are beyond excited to launch our newest brand in our lineup of simple, beautiful, and high-quality wedding planning brands across the state of Hawaii, Simple Hawaii Wedding.

Are you considering a small destination wedding in Hawaii? If so, GREAT CHOICE, you have come to the right place for planning a breathtaking intimate wedding in Hawaii!

Why We Love Intimate Weddings

A Simple Hawaii Wedding allows you to truly focus on what’s important: your love and commitment to each other. With a smaller guest list (or no guest list), you can spend more quality time with your loved ones and create meaningful memories that will last a lifetime. Fewer people at your wedding means you can focus on the relationships you hold dearest (sorry work friends). By choosing a small destination wedding in Hawaii with Simple Hawaii Wedding, you’re prioritizing your relationship with your partner and creating a special experience for your closest family and friends.

Our Story

Our founder, Karma Hill, was already a prominent figure in the wedding industry as a photographer when she recognized a need in the Maui wedding market for a brand offering a simple planning experience for couples booking a destination wedding from afar, paired with high-quality vendors and a professional team of planners.

Karma witnessed numerous planning brands adopting a “budget” approach when it came to small weddings. These brands resorted to lower-cost vendors, limited their options to only beach locations or free alternatives, and compromised on the elements that contribute to a beautiful and unique wedding experience. She recognized a sizable group of couples desiring a simple, well-planned wedding offering with superior location choices, the highest quality floral arrangements, photography, customer service, and overall experience.

The Evolution

Karma took this premium quality wedding concept and created Simple Maui Wedding. After planning over 1000 weddings on Maui, Karma, and her team knew the service they offered on Maui would benefit other Hawaiian Islands as well. In 2017, Simple Oahu Wedding was launched and has since offered the same simple planning experience for our Oahu-bound couples.

When it came time to choose the next island to expand this concept to, the Big Island was an obvious choice! With its amazing weather on the Kona/Kohala coast, incredible venue options, beautiful beaches, and amazingly talented wedding vendors it was a natural fit.

What Do We Offer?

We offer a planning experience that is SIMPLE! You are likely planning your wedding from thousands of miles and perhaps a few time zones away. We want to make your planning experience FUN and stress-free. By leaving the details to us, you can focus on enjoying your engagement and getting excited about your upcoming wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii!

Who Are We Best For?

We are experts in crafting intimate Hawaii wedding packages designed for up to 50 guests. We firmly believe smaller weddings create the ultimate wedding experience, especially when it comes to destination weddings. Weddings that are too large expand into a family reunion scenario where everyone vies for your attention, detracting from the magic of your special day. It can be hard curating a smaller guest list, but it is very much worth it!

Why We Like Intimate Ceremonies

Have you ever had a friend who was planning a large wedding (even locally) and heard how stressed they were basically adding a full-time job to their lives? We are the opposite of that! Our perfectly curated packages include everything you need to get married on the Big Island of Hawaii. We specialize in ceremony planning and all of our packages include one of our: Hawaii wedding venues or Hawaii Beach wedding venues, photography, officiant, floral, planning, and of course an amazing onsite coordinator to assist you on the big day-to-ensure everything goes smoothly.

Our Special Sauce

Photography

We believe our “special sauce” is creating the perfect ceremony accompanied by breathtaking photography that transports you back to the magic of your wedding day.

Each of our wedding packages starts with award-winning photography by our in-house brand, Karma Hill Photography. Founder Karma Hill hand-picked and personally trained each photography team member in the Karm Hill Photography signature style. Their style is characterized by ethereal, light-filled imagery and cinematic composition.

Floral

We have the privilege of working with the finest floral artists on the Big Island our esteemed partner, Grace Flowers Hawaii. Renowned as one of the most reputable and long-standing florists on the Big Island, Grace Flowers is responsible for crafting our exquisite custom bouquets. We offer a diverse selection of stunning fresh flowers, carefully chosen for your ceremony. While many couples opt for our thoughtfully curated bouquet offerings, we also provide the opportunity to create a personalized floral look exclusively for you. Whether you have a specific bouquet in mind or wish to enhance your ceremony with additional decorations like arches, arrangements, or bridal party florals. Our team will expertly guide you toward the best options that align with your budget and vision.

How We Do Things Different

When choosing a wedding planning company for your special day, it’s essential to be aware many packaged services cut corners. This is usually done by selecting photographers and florists based solely on their affordability not quality and skillful execution of their craft. We take a different approach. We only work with the best vendors in the business, carefully selecting renowned brand names to guarantee you the highest quality service and exceptional style. This guarantees you receive the utmost expertise and style for your wedding ceremony, leaving no room for uncertainty in terms of quality or aesthetics.

What Happens After the Ceremony?

Once you have finished your group and couples photography after your ceremony what comes next?

Most of our couples opt for a nice sit-down dinner after their ceremony with their closest family and friends. We offer recommendations for the best places to go that can accommodate your needs and desires. Whether you want to have a section in a restaurant or a totally private dinner oceanfront. We can help you find the perfect post-ceremony option.

While we don’t plan receptions, we can connect you with some great options from our hotel and restaurant partners who specialize in food and beverage and we can handle reception floral and photography. From a private dinner for two with toes in the sand, or a full reception with dancing and all the traditional elements after your ceremony it’s all possible. With guidance and recommendations from our team, you can make the best choice for your vision and budget.

Clients love the flexibility of creating their own after-wedding reception and avoiding the cost of having a full reception planner when there really isn’t a need for one. Our hotel and restaurant partners have full teams of great people who specialize in the food and beverage portion of your day.

Our Team

We have an amazing professional team of planners with thousands of weddings and decades of experience. We pride ourselves in great service with quick replies and honest answers to both easy and difficult questions. Our goal is to make the planning experience fun and stress-free, so you can enjoy your special day without any worries.

We can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your once-in-a-lifetime event!
