Weddings & Events
Tucked between jungle and sea on the lush east side of the Big Island, our 3-acre botanical-style retreat is a rare blend of rustic beauty and quiet elegance. This is not a resort—it’s a back-to-nature sanctuary best suited for couples who feel most alive under the open sky, who embrace adventure, and who understand the wild rhythms of the land.
With floor-to-ceiling windows, fruit trees, butterflies, and ocean breezes, the property feels fully alive. We comfortably host up to 12 overnight guests (two-night minimum) and welcome daytime gatherings from 9 AM–10 PM. Ideal for intimate weddings that honor nature, family, and love in a setting that is both wild and stunning. We provide the land, a 22x16 open-air marquee, and a round wedding arch—the rest is up to you. Flowers, chairs, and food are curated by the couple, allowing each wedding to be as personal and meaningful as the love it celebrates.
As a working tropical fruit farm powered by the sun and sustained by rainwater, our venue is fully off-grid—offering a meaningful choice for couples who value sustainability, natural beauty, and the balance between the rugged and refined.

Kūaloli also hosts intimate celebrations, ceremonies, memorials, and creative gatherings. If you're envisioning a soulful event rooted in nature, we’d love to hear from you.
This is private property and our home, lovingly shared to spread connection, deep love, and reverence for the land and each other.
What Sets Us Apart
Kūaloli is more than a wedding venue—it’s a working organic tropical fruit farm and sanctuary where the wild meets the refined. In addition to an abundant array of fruit trees, guests are immersed in a vibrant ecosystem filled with geckos, butterflies, mongoose, farm cats, and even wild pigs roaming in search of fallen fruit.
This part of the island is alive with mana—Hawai‘i’s spiritual energy—and offers a breathtaking display of nature’s raw beauty. Kūaloli is thoughtfully designed to feel like a botanical garden, with serene lily ponds, open grassy spaces, butterfly habitats, and lush tropical plant life throughout the three-acre property.
With its expansive layout and natural flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, Kūaloli provides a flexible canvas to create a celebration that is both personal and unforgettable. Whether you envision something barefoot and wild or graceful and elegant, this is a place where your vision can come to life—surrounded by the spirit and power of the land itself.
