Scenery / aesthetic / landscaping
Excellent vendor team

Kualoa Ranch
Location: East side of O'ahu
Scenery highlights: Beautiful "Jurassic" mountains, greenery, palm trees, ocean views
Special Note: This is a large venue and they have various spots around the ranch for photos in addition to the venue itself (Paliku Gardens is the name of Kualoa Ranch's wedding venue). I recommend asking about the different photoshoot areas you can be driven to on your wedding day if you decide to book with them!
