Intimate Hawaiʻi Elopement Packages on the Big Island

Custom-designed ceremonies for couples seeking a private, meaningful elopement with up to 8 guests.

 

Quiet moments. Powerful landscapes. Honest emotion. Designed for couples who want less pageantry and more meaning. Just you, your people, and Hawaii at its most beautiful.

Do not ask what love can make or do. Look at the colors of the world.
— Rumi

At Beach Glass Weddings, elopements are not a smaller version of a wedding, they are a deliberate choice. Designed for couples who value intimacy, meaning, and experience over tradition. Our elopements are crafted for up to 10 guests in some of Hawaii’s most breathtaking and secluded locations.

Whether it’s a quiet sunset on a secluded beach, a black sand beach at sunrise, a majestic waterfall, or a sacred volcanic landscape, we take care of every detail, from permits and planning to photography and cinematic video, so you can be fully present in the moment.

If you’re dreaming of a deeply personal Hawaiian ceremony with just your closest people (or just the two of you), this is where it begins.

Planning a celebration with more than 8 guests? Please explore our Wedding Packages.

 

The Magic of a Hawaii Elopement

A Hawaii elopement is a conscious choice to begin your marriage with intention, presence, and meaning. Surrounded by the ocean, the wind, and the vastness of the islands, couples step away from expectation and into a moment that is entirely their own. The simplicity of an elopement allows the focus to return to what matters most — the commitment you are making to one another.

Elopements carry a quiet power. Without distractions or pageantry, every word, glance, and breath becomes more significant. Nature becomes your witness, reflecting the honesty and depth of your connection. In these intimate settings, love feels amplified — grounded, real, and alive.

A Hawaii elopement offers a rare beginning: personal, soulful, and unforgettable. It is not about doing less, but about choosing more — more presence, more emotion, and a wedding day that feels as authentic as the love you share.

Ultimate Hawaii Elopement Package $14,995

For couples who dream of something truly extraordinary.

Our Ultimate Hawaii Elopement Package begins with a private helicopter flight over Hawaii Island’s most breathtaking coastline, lush valleys, hidden waterfalls, and sea cliffs carved by time. Your journey culminates in a landing beside a 400-foot waterfall, a location so remote it can only be reached by helicopter.

Here, surrounded by mist and the sounds of rushing water, you’ll exchange your vows in complete seclusion, a ceremony as powerful and timeless as the landscape itself.

This is the pinnacle of elopement experiences, designed for couples who crave both adventure and intimacy, all executed with Beach Glass Weddings’ signature attention to detail.

Helicopter Dream Elopement Package $6,995

For couples who want a breathtaking experience without the full-scale immersion.

Our Helicopter Dream Elopement Package begins with a scenic helicopter flight over Hawaii Island’s dramatic coastline, lush valleys, and remote terrain. You’ll touch down beside the same stunning 400-foot waterfall featured in our Ultimate Hawaii Elopement, a place so wild and untouched it can only be reached by helicopter.

Here, you’ll share a beautifully simple and intimate ceremony surrounded by mist, cliffs, and the powerful sound of rushing water. The experience is intentionally streamlined, allowing you to focus on the moment itself — your vows, your connection, and the extraordinary landscape around you.

The Helicopter Dream Elopement is ideal for couples who want the magic of a waterfall landing and the exhilaration of flight, while keeping the celebration effortless and focused. Thoughtfully planned and expertly executed, it offers an unforgettable setting with a lighter footprint than our ultimate experience.

An extraordinary place. A meaningful moment. Nothing more than what truly matters.
