From Hanalei Bay
Hanalei Bay on Kauai’s north shore is two miles of golden-sand crescent backed by 3,500-foot mountains. It looks unreal. The weddings here feel unreal too.
Check Hawaii AvailabilityHanalei sits on Kauai’s rainy north shore — lush, dramatic, and far less developed than Oahu or Maui. The bay itself is a perfect crescent, framed by the Namolokama mountains rising straight out of the jungle. Princeville Resort sits on the cliff to the east. The town of Hanalei is a single main street of surf shops and farm-to-table restaurants.
Hanalei weddings have a wildness to them that the other islands can’t match. The light is moodier, the mountains are bigger, and the chance of a passing rainshower mid-ceremony is real — we always plan a buffer. Most ceremonies happen at the western end of the bay or up at Princeville with the bay below.
Your photographer and filmmaker are on the same team and plan the day as one.

Trailer in 14 days. Social teasers in 24 hours. Full delivery in 8 weeks.
May through October is the driest. November through March can be beautiful but brings frequent rainshowers — we always plan a 30-minute timeline buffer.
Yes, with a DLNR permit. The western end of the bay (near Hanalei Pier) is the most popular spot — it’s wider, less crowded, and frames the mountains beautifully.
Princeville (now 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay) is the cliff-side option overlooking the bay. They handle permits and have their own ceremony lawns with sweeping views.
About 45 minutes from Lihue Airport. Most destination couples stay in or near Hanalei for the week to avoid the drive.
