Bayside Chapel and Gazebo: Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa located on the Big Island of Hawaii, has the Bayside Chapel, which is a cute little church located in Kona in a beautiful location. Close by is an lovely little gazebo. Keauhou which means a “new beginning” is the name of this very special place“. The charming green and white chapel and neighbouring gazebo are located in luxurious green tropical gardens overlooking the brilliant blue Pacific.
The chapel can accommodate up to 75 guests and the gazebo accommodates ten people.
The beautiful gardens located right beside the ocean provide a lovely tropical backdrop for your wedding photos. The nearby wedding lawn is a venue where many couples hold their reception.
This resort also has a wide variety of venues available for receptions, ranging from formal ballrooms to the outdoor Crystal Blue Terrace and Point, which offers a dramatic view of Keauhou Bay.
Little Blue Church: One of my favourite little churches is Saint Peter’s Church also known as the “Little Blue Church” located on famous Ali’I Drive in downtown Kona, the Big Island. This picture perfect Catholic Church is stunning. The church is surrounded by flowering trees and is situated right beside the beach in Keauhou. It only contains 12 pews, making it one of the smallest churches in the world. Built in 1889, there is a beautiful stained glass window at the back of the church overlooking the ocean.
Hilton Waikoloa Village Chapel: Hale Aloha Chapel at Hilton Waikoloa Village is located in a grove of towering palm trees overlooking Waiulula Bay on the sunny Kohala Coast on the Big Island.

Hilton Waikoloa Village Chapel: Hale Aloha Chapel at Hilton Waikoloa Village is located in a grove of towering palm trees overlooking Waiulula Bay on the sunny Kohala Coast on the Big Island.
This attractive and charming little chapel seats up to 18 guests but the windows can be opened so guests can sit outside and still be a part of the ceremony.
This enchanting oceanfront property features beautiful stained glass windows and mosaics.
Part of the grounds on the resort can be blocked off by an attractive gate so the wedding couple can enjoy privacy at their ceremony.
Located about 30 yards away from the wedding chapel is the cute little Oceanside gazebo at Hilton Waikoloa Village. This provides an alternative setting for couples wishing to have a smaller wedding.
The Fairmont Orchid Chapel: The Fairmont Orchid built on the lava beds of the Kohala Coast on the big Island, is home to the classic, Victorian-style white wedding gazebo. This elegant setting is located on manicured lush green lawn with breathtaking ocean views of sparkling blue water in the background.
This lovely venue allows for a small intimate wedding or hundreds of guests.
