From the reviews
Beautiful scenic view while standing at the alter. Great service from the chapel Team. I would get married every year here if I could 😁
The venue is stunning, a clean white chapel with views of Honolulu Harbour, Magic Island, and the entire West Waikiki coast from the 30th floor of the Illikai. There is plenty of seating for guests. EMPIRE Steak house next door and the location is perfect. Julie was our point of contact who was exceptional.
It was absolutely beautiful! The staff kept good communication and was overall very friendly. I am truly grateful that I chose to have my wedding ceremony here, it lived up to my expectations. Everything ran very smoothly and very happy about my event!
The Ilikai Chapel was the PERFECT venue for my reception! The view of Waikiki was spectacular and the service was topnotch.
Getting married at The Ilikai Chapel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
