KAHAWAI CHAPEL: Your Dream Wedding Destination in Hawaii
On June 1, 2025, the stunning KAHAWAI CHAPEL will officially open its doors at the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii. Managed by Tsukaki Lognote Japan, this new wedding venue promises couples an unforgettable ceremony nestled in one of the most iconic locations in the world.
The Perfect Location
KAHAWAI CHAPEL is uniquely situated at the westernmost tip of Waikiki Beach, offering breathtaking oceanfront views. Right in front of the chapel, expansive azure waters create a perfect backdrop for wedding photos that couples will cherish forever. Located in a private area within the Outrigger Reef hotel, KAHAWAI CHAPEL represents a blend of serene modern luxury and deep-rooted Hawaiian traditions, making it a one-of-a-kind venue for exchanging vows.
Embracing Hawaiian Culture
The name ‘KAHAWAI’ in Hawaiian translates to 'the flow of water or stream.' The chapel stands above the ‘Kawehewehe’ area, known throughout Hawaiian history as a sacred site where freshwater mingles with the ocean, regarded as a healing place by the ancient Hawaiian royalty. This rich cultural heritage enhances the sanctity of every wedding held at the chapel, ensuring that each ceremony is steeped in meaning.
An Enchanting Chapel Design
The interior of KAHAWAI CHAPEL is designed with exquisite attention to detail, reflecting both the history of the local culture and modern aesthetics. From the whitewashed wooden ceilings to the flowing virgin road that symbolizes the water's course, every design element aligns with the vision of ‘Lovin’ Hawaii – A More Special Place.’
The chandeliers are inspired by traditional Hawaiian canoes, symbolizing the couple's journey together, navigating life's waters as a team. As couples walk down the aisle, they will experience a gradual transformation in the colors of the aisle, as if they are moving from shallow to deep waters, symbolically stepping toward their shared future.
The Aloha Ceremony
At KAHAWAI CHAPEL, weddings are not just ceremonies; they are heartfelt celebrations of love encapsulated in the Aloha Spirit. The Aloha ceremony embodies love, harmony, kindness, and patience, values deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture. The ceremony begins with the soothing sounds of shells played by the kahu (priest), followed by traditional Hawaiian chants and musical performances. Couples and guests are invited to participate in enriching rituals that deepen bonds, including a special ti-leaf binding ceremony.
Creating Memories with Loved Ones
KAHAWAI CHAPEL also provides a special guest room, designed as a calming space where family and friends can gather before and after the ceremony. This innovative area is not just a waiting room; it is an ocean-view retreat where guests can soak in the atmosphere of Hawaii while creating lasting memories with the couple. A unique ‘Lino Hour’ will take place where couples can enjoy an informal gathering with their guests before heading off for photos.
Exclusive Photo Opportunities
Another highlight of the wedding experience at KAHAWAI CHAPEL is access to exclusive photo opportunities around the Outrigger Reef Hawaii. Couples will have the chance to capture stunning images against the backdrop of Diamond Head and the vast ocean. Professional photographers will be available to guide couples to some of the best spots to immortalize their big day while enjoying the beautiful tropical setting.
