Attractions

Overview

Say I do (or I still do) in one of the most breathtaking settings on earth—Kauai’s legendary Fern Grotto or the lush gardens of Smith’s Tropical Paradise. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding, a spontaneous elopement, or a vow renewal to celebrate your journey together, this is romance reimagined in true island style.

Your day begins with a private boat ride up the serene Wailua River, once reserved for Kauai’s Royal Family. A Hawaiian musician serenades you with timeless melodies as the river carries you to the Fern Grotto—a natural cathedral draped in ferns, echoing with the sound of a hidden waterfall. Here, a minister will guide you through a heartfelt ceremony complete with lei exchange, ring blessing, and the unforgettable “Hawaiian Wedding Song.”

Prefer something more grounded but equally magical? Exchange vows in our 30-acre garden paradise, surrounded by flowering tropicals, peacocks, bamboo forests, and sparkling lagoons. Both settings capture the essence of Kauai: beauty, intimacy, and timeless aloha.

With packages starting at $1,500, your wedding or renewal includes a private boat, officiant, fresh flower leis, and a keepsake certificate. You can also celebrate afterward with family and friends at the Smith Family Garden Luau, where love and laughter meet island tradition.

More than just a ceremony, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience—your love story, forever rooted in paradise.
