The Wedding Website of Mikaila McMaster and Matthew Ortez
Kauai is our home away from home. Matt's family has been coming here for over 20 years, and we've been visiting together for the last 5. Our wedding will be held on the "Coconut Coast" along the Wailua River, conveniently close to Lihue Airport and Kapa'a. To minimize travel during the festivities, we highly recommend staying nearby. Below, we've listed some "Wedding Hotel" suggestions along with our travel plans. Bride & Groom Travel Plans Nov 13-18: Airbnb Kapa'a Nov 18-25: Airbnb Kapa'a & Sheraton (Kapa'a) Nov 25-28: Princeville Airbnb While Kapa'a is fantastic, we encourage those staying for a week to explore the island before and after the wedding. The North Shore (Princeville / Hanalei) is a must-see and must-stay area—it’s the reason we fell in love with Kauai. Another excellent option for your stay is Poipu; swim with turtles and get some amazing food. Please refer to the "Things to Know" section of our website for all the insider information.

House Or Rental

Matt and I will be staying around this area in Princeville before and after the wedding. The North Shore, including Princeville and Hanalei, is a must-see and must-stay area—it’s the reason we fell in love with Kauai. Full of bars, restaurants, shopping, beaches and breathtaking views. Hanalei provides the best views for that iconic Kauai feel.

Flight

Southwest

Southwest has an AMAZING deal in June for roundtrip flights to Hawaii. Please keep a look out!!!

Travel Note

Car / Uber

Kauai stands out as the least touristy among the islands, and that's precisely what draws us to it. However, one drawback is that Uber isn't readily available. We highly recommend renting a car.
