My DF and I are in the midst of organizing our wedding plans. We are planning our wedding for Hawaii, then having separate receptions later in Taiwan and Vermont.
My main problem is finding a location to have the ceremony. We are inviting both sides of the family, siblings of the parents, 1st cousins, and friends. This is leading to a lengthy invitation list, but we don't think any more than 20 will be able to make it to the actual wedding in Hawaii.
Can anyone suggest wedding locations in Hawaii? We would like a beach wedding if possible or at least something overlooking the ocean. We are not doing a traditional reception, our ideal is hosting our guests at a dinner at a very nice restaurant (we are both in the restaurant business) and want to spend our money on that. Our guests will be using this trip as a vacation, so we will need a locale where adults can be fully, and happily, occupied over a 4-5 day period.
I've looked at the Four Seasons, but it seems like those locations are too sedate. We are looking for a top level resort for ourselves, but with alternative hotels in the area so that our guests have a variety of options for their budgets.
Suggestions? We are looking at 3/11/2011 for our wedding date.
