Pu'uhonua
o Honaunau
A National Historical Park in South Kona, Pu'uhonua O Honaunau, also known as the Place of Refuge or City of Refuge, is a tranquil, serene setting for small wedding parties. Swaying palms and sandy pathways lined by lava, border the deep blue ocean, providing a dramatic, yet peaceful setting for your ceremony. There is also a small sandy beach down the trail that leads to a large lava tube. Sunrise as well as sunset is spectacular. There is a $50 fee for weddings or renewal of vow ceremonies which benefits the National Park itself.

Patrick and
Bevrly Van den Bossche Aloha Dard & Penei, We would have written sooner, but you know how it is being newlyweds!! We were also house hunting and have just found a new home to start sharing wonderful memories. We would like to personally thank you for making our wedding day, April 05, 2005 spectacular, well beyond our expectations. The location (Place of Refuge) was both spiritual and georgeous, the sunset beyond words and the music heavenly. We found that our choice of a Christian ceremony with Hawaiian touches made the ceremony very unique and memorable. You both fulfilled our desire for a very personal & intimate experience. The pictures turned out beautiful, half in daylight & half in the sunset, making the time of ceremony a perfect choice, thanks to your wisdom. We will highly recommend you to anyone thinking of getting married on the beautiful island of Hawaii. Love & light, Alain & Darlene Cloutier Dear Penei and Dard, Thank
you so much for performing such a lovely wedding ceremony for us at the
Place of Refuge. We thought it was going to be a wonderful
experience but it surpassed our expectations. It was by far the most
memorable ceremony we have ever been too and, yes, we might be a little
prejudiced but all of our quests said the same thing, too. You have given
us beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much. |
