Starwood Hotels and Resorts offer an eclectic list of outside venues to accommodate a variety of styles, tastes and budgets, but the brand also has built a reputation for creating unforgettable celebrations indoors, too. If you\u2019re looking for something a little different when you say \u201cI do,\u201d forget banquet halls and ballrooms and consider something a bit more modern and posh: a suite wedding.Perfect for ceremonies or receptions with a smaller guest list (around 50 or less), suites ditch the traditional layout of aisle and altar in favor of a more intimate and fluid setting to share with family and friends. And don\u2019t let the size fool you\u2014many suites rival the opulence and prestige of larger spaces and have their own unique and breathtaking features that are sure to wow.Here\u2019s a list of five stunning suites from a few of Starwood\u2019s Hawaii hotels and resorts for the destination wedding of your dreams:Wedding King Kamehameha Suite The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki \u00a0The King Kamehamenha Suite at The Royal Hawaiian in Oahu With elegant Koa and teak wood floors, richly ornamented rooms decorated with tropical touches, and an expansive lanai overlooking the dazzling water of Waikiki, the King Kamehamenha tops the list as The Royal Hawaiian\u2019s most lavish suite. The partially covered veranda provides over 1,000 square feet of open-air space for a one-of-a-kind ceremony or reception that combines luxurious indoor features and the surrounding natural beauty of the Hawaii landscape for a truly regal wedding experience. Penthouse Suite 2110 – Diamond Head Facing Lanai Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach The Presidential Suite 2110 at The Moana Surfrider in Oahu The Moana\u2019s Presidential Suite is the pinnacle of suite venues in Waikiki. This chic, contemporary setting boasts one of the most beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from 21 floors up in the hotel\u2019s Tower Wing. A wrap-around balcony spanning 1,000 square feet provides a breathtaking backdrop of the Pacific\u2019s endless azure waters and room for approximately 30-40 guests. The Lanai at the All’i Suite The Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa The Ali\u2019i Suite at The Sheraton Maui Resort & SpaFrom the generous lanai of The Sheraton Maui\u2019s premier Ali\u2019i suite, celebrants can take in majestic panoramic views of the Ka\u2019anapali coast and the sparkling ocean. The 1,600 square-foot space features a grand living room, dining room, master bedroom, and optional adjoining second bedroom (for an added fee). Island details create an authentic environment for hosting a cozy ceremony or reception. Leaning toward a suite wedding but aren\u2019t ready to give up Hawaii\u2019s lush outdoor venues for your destination nuptials? Consider utilizing the Ali\u2019i lawn, a regal setting ideal for a smaller ceremony or cocktail reception.\u00a0\u00a0 Hanalei Suite Wedding The St. Regis Princeville Resort The Hanalei Suite & Terrace at the St. Regis Princeville Resort in Kaua\u2019iThe Kaua\u2019i island of Hawaii is especially notable for its raw and untouched beauty, and the neutral tones of the refined Hanalei Suite give the space an almost ethereal quality amid the lush, tropical landscape.

Jaw-dropping views of Makana Mountain provide a dramatic backdrop for tying the knot or celebrating with loved ones as newlyweds. The St. Regis features a range of other exquisite resort suites that are worth exploring as you plan a perfect suite wedding in Kaua\u2019i. Presidential Suite Terrace Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay The Presidential Suite at The Sheraton Kona Resort & SpaThis expansive suite at The Sheraton Kona offers chic and breezy island decor in a sweeping, contemporary space that still retains the intimate charm that make a suite wedding such a popular choice for smaller events. A large lanai further extends the generous indoor setting and creates the perfect spot for a ceremony or reception above Kona\u2019s gorgeous coastline.If you\u2019re planning a destination wedding in paradise and intend to keep the guest list small, or if you\u2019re looking for a posh twist to give your I-do events a little extra dazzle, consider exchanging vows and clinking a champagne toast with your nearest and dearest in one of Hawaii\u2019s fantastic hotel or resort suites.This is a sponsored post.
