Mauna Lani wraps 3,200 acres of Kohala Coast in a resort that has been a pillar of Big Island luxury since the 1980s, now reborn under Auberge Resorts stewardship. Couples marry on white-sand Kilohana Beach or beneath the canopy of the Milo Tree Lawn, with event spaces accommodating intimate celebrations of two up to grand receptions of 800. The venue can accommodate up to 250 guests for your wedding celebration.
The Kohala Coast carries millennia of Hawaiian history, and Mauna Lani is rooted in it. Ancient fishponds still hold water on the resort's grounds, and a trail of petroglyphs tells stories in stone across the lava fields. When Auberge Resorts reimagined this legendary property, they kept that weight of place — polishing the guest experience to a high lustre without dimming what makes the land remarkable. Wedding celebrations here inherit all of that; a ceremony on Kilohana Beach or the Milo Tree Lawn is set against a backdrop that no interior decorator could contrive.
The resort's event spaces scale from whispered intimacy — two people making promises under an open sky — to receptions of 800 in the grand Pavilion or on the oceanfront lawn. The Auberge culinary team builds menus around what grows and swims close by: Big Island macadamia nuts, Hamakua mushrooms, locally caught kampachi. A dedicated wedding team, reachable at weddings.maunalani@aubergeresorts.com, manages everything from florals to cultural practitioners who can incorporate Hawaiian traditions into the ceremony with respect and accuracy.
