PREFERRED OAHU VENUE
Dillingham Ranch
Nestled on Oahu’s stunning North Shore, Dillingham Ranch is a historic property offering a blend of rustic charm and tropical beauty. This sprawling estate encompasses rolling pastures, a grand plantation-style house, and views of the Waianae Mountains. Dillingham Ranch is ideal for couples seeking a totally private Hawaiian estate setting. In addition to the oversized stately trees I also enjoy the peacocks wandering the property.
Wedding PrepAration
Dillingham Ranch provides a pleasant and flexible setting for wedding preparations in a pared back plantation style. The window light is beautiful. There is ample space here for the bride’s party and the groom’s party to get ready without seeing each other and great corners for beautiful portraits before stepping outside.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies at Dillingham Ranch take place either at the front of the house under a single towering tree, or at the back of the house between an avenue of royal palms with mountain views behind. The health of the palms is something to be monitored going forward since this area has been affected by an invasive and damaging beetle, but both options are beautiful and photographer-approved.
COCKTAIL HOUR
Dillingham Ranch cocktail hours may be hosted in the courtyard at the front of the house or behind the house in the large back yard.
Receptions
Receptions at Dillingham Ranch can be held with or without a tent, at the front or back of the house. The Plantation-Style house forms a courtyard which can be an excellent spot for smaller celebrations, and the yard at the back of the house allows for a large tent. Both options are excellent!
Portraits
Dillingham Ranch features many beautiful trees and mountain views as backdrops for portraits. It’s private and relaxed and golden hour here is really lovely. The long main entrance road to the property may also be used and is where one can get a decent view of the mountains.
