The Ol? Capt. Howie has some spectacular off-the?beaten-path locations for your Hawaii beach weddings, any time of the day. If you are staying in Waikiki or at one of the hotels, you better plan to get out of Dodge. Unless you like crowded beaches fronting big buildings, this is not the place for a happening Hawaii beach wedding. Without a doubt, my favorite is the pristine, 5-mile long, white sand beach across from Pukalani Falls Hawaii Wedding Garden in Angels Bay. This out-of-the-way beach is great for both sunrise and mid-day Hawaii beach weddings. The water is relatively shallow in this area. Consequently as the sun reflects off the white sandy bottom, the water color is an unbelievably brilliant turquoise. This amazing turquoise color, contrasted with the powdery blue sky, makes it my top pick for sunrise and mid-day Hawaii beach weddings. This picturesque beach is always picture perfect and just can't be beat.

Pukalani Falls Hawaii Wedding Garden is ultimate story book location for weddings in Hawaii. In Hawaiian, Pukalani means ?Gateway to Heaven?. It is said that a picture speaks a thousand words. So let the photos of these fairytale Hawaii weddings speak for themselves. In our Photo Gallery, check out Pukalani Falls Hawaii Wedding Garden.

This magnificent falls is surrounded by numerous varieties of exotic fruit trees, tropical flowers, palms, bamboos and other Hawaiian plants. It is truly a tropical wonderland for Hawaii weddings. For example there are bananas, papayas, guavas, mangos, coconuts, orchids, passion fruit? and the list goes on. Pukalani Falls Hawaii Wedding Garden is literally a bride and groom's ?Dream Come True?.

*Tropical Water Garden*

When you first enter this Hawaii wedding dreamland through the ornate teak and copper gates, the first words out of your mouth will be something like ?Wow? or ?Oh my God?. You will have just entered the tropical water garden which is almost a psychedelic experience. You will know immediately why this is the Mecca for weddings in Hawaii. Two separate bubbling brooks flow into a tropical water garden which is literally teaming with brightly colored Koi fish and colorful water lilies. The Koi are very personable and genuinely enjoy being present at our Hawaii weddings. Koi have been revered in eastern cultures for centuries. They are a symbol of long life, virility and nonviolence. Koi have been known to live in excess of 225 years and they can bear literally millions of young. Consequently, as part of our Hawaii weddings, those couples who are so inclined, ring the dinner bell to call the Koi ? and feed them their dinner.
