Staying in the Waikoloa Beach area? Yes, We Can Help You Say "I Do" on the Kona Coast

“Your name says Simple Kona Beach Weddings, but I’m staying up at one of the resorts in Waikoloa Beach. Can you help me?” I hear this question all the time, and the answer is a happy yes. Waikoloa Beach sits right on the Kona Coast, the same sunny west side of the Big Island where I marry couples every week. I’m Becky Ringler, owner and registered Hawaii wedding officiant at Simple Kona Beach Weddings, and I help couples staying anywhere from Kailua-Kona to Waikoloa to South Kohala plan a relaxed, personal beach ceremony without the stress.

Kona Is a Coast, Not Just a Town

One thing I always love to clear up: Kona is a coast, not just a town. The Kona Coast stretches along much of the sunny west side of the Big Island, with Waikoloa Beach and the South Kohala resort area just to the north. From Kailua-Kona to the resorts and condos of Waikoloa and South Kohala in the north, everything sits within an easy drive. So, no matter which hotel, condo, or resort you’ve booked, I can meet you at a beautiful ceremony spot nearby.

Finding the Right Beach for the Two of You

Where you say your vows matters as much as the day itself, so I’ll never just send you to the same crowded stretch of sand as everyone else. Instead, I match the beach to you, based on your party size, the time of day, the wind and crowds, and years of local knowledge about the spots that feel most beautiful for a ceremony or vow renewal. I specialize in intimate gatherings of up to 30, and I’ll point you toward a beach that comfortably fits your group, whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of loved ones. Some of the busier, breezier beaches right at Waikoloa aren’t the calm, private setting most couples picture, so I’m always happy to suggest quieter options a short drive away. And if your heart is set on marrying right where you’re staying, I’m glad to perform ceremonies at the Waikoloa beaches on request.

What’s Included in Your Kona Coast Wedding or Vow Renewal

From your first email to the moment you say, “I do,” I take care of every detail, so the whole experience feels effortless. 

Depending on what you’re dreaming of, your day can include:

• A customizable, Hawaiian-style ceremony mixed with traditional elements, bringing heart and meaning to every vow.
• The required state beach permit, which I obtain for you as part of every Simple Kona Beach Weddings offering.
• Floral enhancements such as leis, flower crowns, and/or bouquets to add classic Hawaiian beauty.
• Marriage license instructions, appointment setting assistance, and filing. Cell phone photo coverage provided by my husband, Matt, with the option to add professional photography.
