Wedding setup at the St. Regis, Princeville, on Kauai
If you love the idea of a marriage in a wild spot of unimaginable beauty, but also love the idea of an elegant wedding orchestrated down to the last flower petal, the St. Regis Princeville may be your little slice of perfect.
Consider this ceremony scenario: In front of you, the tangerine sun descends over Hanalei Bay. In the distance, the great green humps of the Na Pali coast are pummeled by the Pacific. And left, right, and all around is a resort as luxurious as they come, a posh hideaway cradled in the cliffs like a baby in its mother’s arms.
You can count on the scenery, and you can count on the sushi (the St. Regis wrangled superchef Jean-George Vongerichten to oversee the menu), and you can count on the service, so out-and-out pampering that you’ll be tempted to toss out ten-dollar bills like confetti. But the weather isn’t always as reliable. (There’s a reason this is one of the most lushly verdant spots on the planet.) Still, if the gods are smiling the sun will shine, creating perfect conditions for exchanging vows cliffside at Hanalei Terrace, beside the infinity pool at the Bay Terrace, or at Kamani Cove, a beachfront lawn with mountain and waterfall views that doubles as a reception spot. If nature doesn’t cooperate (or if you’d rather know from the start where you’ll be cutting that cake), the St. Regis’s glass-paneled suites, terraced spaces, and ballrooms all make excellent reception sites.
One final word: Don’t even think of marrying here without a rehearsal dinner luau at the poolside gazebo, one of life’s giddiest good times. — Sally Kilbridge
