My Husband and I chose to get married at the Puakea Ranch in early October. This was truly the best decision we have ever made! I would recommend the Puakea Ranch to anyone looking to have a wedding, family reunion, or just throw a great party. The ambiance is beautiful, the houses are amazing, all that’s needed is great family and friends!

While we recommend hiring from our preferred vendors, you are welcome to hire any professional vendors of your choosing.

We highly recommend an event planner!!!

We chose Puakea Ranch for our small and intimate wedding ceremony. We stayed in the cowboy house, while our guests occupied the James Cottage and Miles Away. The fresh eggs, herbs, and mangos straight off the trees were a delightful part of the experience as were the sweet animals living on the property. We highly recommend Puakea Ranch for anyone looking for a natural, rustic venue.
PENNY & JOHN
I just rented the entire property for a week to host a retreat. It was as perfect as it could be! The old buildings are absolutely charming and the rustic, yet elegant quality offers a relaxed and comfortable stay. This was truly a perfect place to gather with friends. If you want a truly unique experience and love a little adventure and taste of old Hawaii, do come and delight your senses.
