Waimea Plantation Cottages Overview

Voted the #1 Wedding Venue on Kauai by Hawaii Magazine readers, Waimea Plantation Cottages hosts dozens of weddings each year at the classic 5-bedroom, oceanfront, craftsman-style Manager's Cottage. With lovely ocean views, the sound of the waves, and the ocean breeze floating gently in the air, this is an ideal setting for both your wedding and your reception. Most couples choose to have the ceremony under the 100-foot-tall Banyan Tree next to the cottage. Perhaps you'd like to host the reception on the gracious, large green oceanfront lawn? Consider a sparkling, sunshine daytime wedding or plan the ceremony at the time of a spectacular sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Choose a tented reception event or an alfresco evening under the stars. Dance floor on the lawn? D.J. or live band? Tropical flowers decorating the tables? Create a reception menu that reflects your own personal style. You'll choose from a list of our authorized, professional, wedding planners, caterers and speciality providers. Then working with your preferred planners, you can design your special day exactly the way the two of you want it to be. Your guests will enjoy staying at one of the 59 one- to 4-bedroom authentic, Hawaii plantation homes on our 43-acre beachfront resort. They will enjoy long walks on the black-sand beach, the oceanfront pool, and the on-property casual restaurant. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen, a private lanai and is ensconced in tropical plantings to provide privacy and a sense of tropical splendor between cottages. Waimea Plantation Cottages is a magical place for you, your guests and your wedding! Please ask for a quote so we may start working on your event today!
