We realize it can sometimes be overwhelming to plan a destination wedding in a place where you are unfamiliar. Pink Pineapple helps take the guesswork out of finding the perfect setting for your Big Island elopement or destination wedding.
We will provide you with galleries from the top Big Island wedding photographer showcasing some of our favorite locations and venues. We work with the top of the line florist, hair and makeup artists, bakers, photographers, videographers, and so much more.
We loved working with Dawn from PPW for our Big Island elopement! I would choose PPW again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly believe that with the price paid, the services are a steal.
Being multiple time zones away was pretty scary when planning a wedding. They made it so easy! We cannot thank them enough for making our day the most special and everything we had dreamed of!
Dawn and Mike instantly put us at ease, and the entire day went off better than we could have imagined. Mike had us all laughing and crying, and Dawn captured everything perfectly.
PLUS, it saves money! The average wedding now costs $24,000! Trust me, 150 guests with a minimum cost of over $160 per person, having an intimate event will save you some serious money.
You get to do what YOU want, and plan around the details that are most important to you
You get to enjoy your honeymoon right away, and also enjoy a vacation with your closest friends and family, spending much more time with them than only ONE day
You can skip the headache of planning an elaborate wedding with a huge guest list and massive details to tackle
Whether you call it an elopement, micro wedding, or destination wedding, we think eloping in Hawaii is the best! Elopements by definition or usually 30 or fewer guests, and destination weddings would include a bit larger guest list.
We are a locally run and owned company, run by a couple that actually LIVES in Hawaii. There are now many elopement planning services located on the mainland, and they don’t know the beaches, the hidden gems, the vendors, the culture like we do.
We are able to help you plan the perfect event, from the two of you, to a group of 30 or less on the beach, to a lavish event at a private estate. We want your wedding day to be special and perfect without sacrificing any of the best parts that a larger event would offer.
With over 500 weddings planned, we know just how to make it perfect for you! Want to have your first dance on the beach? Of course! Cut your cake on the beach? Absolutely! Whatever traditions you want to incorporate into your elopement, we are here to help see your vision through from start to finish!
We also think the Big Island is the perfect location to elope. From the pristine white sand, to the stunning lava rock shores, this island offers so much more than gorgeous scenery. The size of the Big Island offers more seclusion and privacy too. And we know all the local gems and when they will be less crowded. We are the experts on sunsets, settings and scenery. We will show you all of the options, you choose your location, and leave the rest of the details to us!

WHAT SIZE WEDDING DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR A BEACH WEDDING?
Hawaii Parks and Recreation permit up to 30 people for a public beach wedding. If you are looking to have more guests then we recommend choosing from one of our preferred private wedding venues. Capacity varies depending on venue.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?
Tropical weather is unpredictable, but here on the Big Island we are lucky to have great weather most of the time. In the case that there is rain we do our best to still make your day as enjoyable as possible. After all, it’s good luck!
HOW SOON CAN WE VIEW OUR WEDDING PHOTOS?
The turnaround time for your fully edited photo gallery is 2-4 weeks depending on the season.
HOW DO WE GET OUR HAWAII MARRIAGE LICENSE?
You can start the process online, but you MUST personally appear before a licensing agent and show proper ID to get your marriage license. For more information please visit this link.
Of course, if you have any additional questions we will be happy to give you more guidance in this area.
CAN WE HAVE CHAIRS OR ARCHES ON THE BEACH FOR OUR WEDDING?
Unfortunately Hawaii State Law does not allow chairs, arbors, or any other structures besides a small cake table and loose flowers on public beaches. We recommend choosing from one of our preferred private wedding venues for weddings with more guests and décor.
WILL MY PHOTOS LOOK JUST AS AMAZING AS THE ONES I SEE THROUGHOUT THE WEBSITE? WHO WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHING OUR WEDDING?
YES! Every photo you see on our website was taken by Dawn Eicher so rest assured, what you see is what you get! For more samples of her work, please click here to see her full portfolio.
Dawn is your photographer 99% of the time. Occasionally she is already booked on your wedding date, but we are definitely able to request a suitable replacement.
