While we were on vacation in Hawaii we took a day to do scouting of some of the wedding venues Oahu has to offer as well as meeting with the coordinators. One of my favorites actually ended up being the Ocean Crystal Chapel. I figured the venue would be too over crowded with guests and would allow for little to no privacy but I was pleasantly surprised that I was indeed wrong.
The chapel sits on top of a waterfall in the middle of the village and has some of the most amazing window light I have seen in a church like setting. I did not feel crowded or like other uninvited guests were joining in on the wedding because it was up so much higher.
It also had a great mirror in the brides getting ready room as well as this cute seating area for guests or bridal party to wait in before the ceremony starts.
The coordinator, Best Bridal Hawaii, has informed me that if you book between now and May 31st for a 2009 or 2010 wedding the venue will be charged at their cheaper spring rates. Check them out if you are looking into a Hawaii destination wedding
