Keauhou, which means “a new beginning,” is the ideal place for couples to begin their lives together. Located on Hawaii’s Big Island, the oceanfront Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa is perfectly situated to help make dreams of a perfect wedding in Paradise come true.

Here, along the stunning coastline, a picture perfect inlet reaches out into the cobalt blue of the Pacific Ocean to form the location of the world famous Keauhou Bay. The setting provides a spectacular backdrop for the resort's Bayside Wedding Center, which includes the Bayside Chapel, an emerald velvet lawn and quaint gazebo.
For a more dramatic location, couples may opt for “love on the lava.”

Perched on a lava rock promontory on the very edge of the blue Pacific, the stark black rock exudes its own beauty and power and makes for stunning photography while a brilliant orange-hued sun drops below the ocean’s horizon just beyond. Topped with soft white sand, the rock promontory location has quickly become a location favorite.

To ensure a stress-free destination wedding, the resort’s Director of Special Occasions handles all the details from appointments for the bride at Ho’ola Spa to a tee time for the groom at nearby Kona Country Club. Our in-house florist and resort executive chef add to the list of professionals that make a wedding at Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa such a delight.

“I think brides are frankly quite surprised when they find out how easy it really is to plan a wedding when they are not actually here,” remarked Natalie Houston, Director of Special Occasions. “With email being such a great communication tool, I can correspond efficiently with the couple, share pictures of the location, the flowers, the cake and really ease her potential stress. After eight years of wedding and event planning, I think I can anticipate almost anything and I can handle pretty much any ‘off the wall’ request – whatever it takes to make the couple’s wedding perfect for them,” Houston continued.

“Love on the lava?” “Amour in the Chapel?” “I do” in the gazebo? Whatever the choice, however many guests, Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa, with the Kona Coast’s only wedding center, is truly the ideal location for any couple considering a destination wedding in Paradise.
