This iconic wedding at Paliku Gardens in Kualoa Ranch is full of love and the most exhilarating memories one can make on their wedding day. With a tea ceremony, Lion dance, and even a fire-breathing dancer, one will never forget this experience!

There’s something about Ron and Priscilla’s wedding at Paliku Gardens in Kualoa Ranch that stays with you. Maybe it was the incredible energy—a mix of tradition, love, and bold celebration—or the thoughtful details woven throughout their day. Whatever it was, their wedding felt timeless, personal, and entirely unforgettable.

Kualoa Ranch provided the perfect canvas for their story. With its breathtaking views of the Koʻolau mountains and Mokolii Island (Chinaman’s Hat for the locals 🤙), it’s a place that feels larger than life. And yet, Ron and Priscilla made it feel intimate. From a ceremony overlooking the coastline to a reception glowing under the stars with candlelight and live flames, every moment felt like it belonged to them.

Ron and Priscilla are the kind of couple who care deeply about the little things—the details that tell their story. Ron brewed custom nitro cold brew for their guests, a personal touch that reflected his thoughtfulness. Priscilla, with her eye for design, had cocktail napkins printed with Ron’s old journal entries from their dating days (embarrassing to him, adorable to everyone else!). She even created a custom print for the wedding, which appeared on pillows and bags throughout the event, tying everything together with understated elegance.

Their day blended tradition with modern flair. The tea ceremony was a deeply moving highlight, filled with love and respect between families. And when Ron and Priscilla saw each other during their first looks—once in their tea ceremony attire and later in their suit and gown—the emotions were palpable. Happy tears, laughter, and a quiet connection only they shared—it set the tone for everything that followed.

Ron and Priscilla’s wedding wasn’t just a day; it was an experience. One filled with thoughtfulness, beauty, and a sense of fun that lingered long after the night ended.
