West Oʻahu · By Inquiry
We host secluded beachfront weddings at Germaine's Luau — a venue that's been a Hawaii institution since 1976.
No crowds in your photos. A ceremony on the sand, then your own reserved section at one of the best luaus in the islands — dinner and the show, as your reception.
Why we built a beachfront wedding without the price tag of most Hawaii weddings.

"It felt like a wedding, not a checklist. We didn't realize how much that was going to matter until it did."Coming soon — words from our first couples
Currently booking 2026 and 2027.
Wedding venues in Hawaii had gotten expensive. And public beach ceremonies — while beautiful — meant strangers in the background of your photos, beachgoers wandering through your vows, and no real way to host a reception afterward.
We wanted to offer something different. A quiet stretch of beach where strangers aren't in your photos and beachgoers aren't wandering through your vows. Where guests flying in from out of state can have the full Hawaii experience — a beachfront ceremony, then a real Hawaiian luau as the reception, with dinner and the show at one of the best luaus in the islands.
That's what Hoʻoheno is.
Hoʻoheno means cherished. That's how we want your day to feel.
Born and raised on Oʻahu. Keeps everyone organized and makes couples feel taken care of from day one.
The operations half. Handles the logistics, the partnerships, and everything that happens behind the scenes.
We host tours by appointment.
Three experiences scaled to the day you're imagining — from a quiet ceremony for the two of you to a full destination wedding for two hundred. Every one ends the same way: a luau reception under the stars.
Every wedding is hosted on Germaine's established grounds. We're finalizing exactly what's included with each experience — more information coming soon.
Just the two of you, or your closest people. A few hours on the beach, fully handled, photos that feel like the day actually happened.
For couples who want it simple. And beautiful. And done.
A real Hawaii wedding with family and your closest friends. A ceremony on the beach, then your own reserved section at the luau for dinner and the show.
For couples who want the full experience without the scale.
The full Hawaii destination experience. Premium everything, for the couple bringing the people they love from across the country.
For couples who want everyone there.
After the ceremony, you and your guests move to your own reserved section on Germaine's grounds for the reception — a full Hawaiian feast, fire dancers, hula, and the imu ceremony, all under the stars.
Real Hawaiian food and one of the best shows in the islands, without a crowd of strangers at your table.
Already married? We host vow renewals and milestone anniversary celebrations on the same beach, in the same spirit. Perfect for couples celebrating ten, twenty, or fifty years — visiting Hawaii together for the first time, or returning to where it all started.
Smaller groups, simpler logistics, the same care.
We'll send a personalized proposal within seventy-two hours.
