Ocean Crystal Chapel

I attended the wedding of my niece here at 3:30 in the afternoon, and what a stunning place to have the ceremony!
In the middle of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the chapel had several weddings the same day, so we weren’t allowed in the chapel waiting room (which is downstairs) until exactly 30 minutes prior to the wedding. If this happens to you, there is at least one place nearby that you can sit and have a drink while you wait.
We entered from the ground floor, and once inside during our scheduled time, we were told to go upstairs. I did notice an elevator for anyone with issues with climbing stairs (i.e. wearing 4 inch heels or climbed Diamond Head this morning and can’t face another set of stairs). There are probably a few other rooms tucked away for the wedding party, as my niece was hidden away somewhere prior to the ceremony.
This is a pretty small chapel, occupancy about 50 guests or so, but for a destination wedding, it really is beautiful. I did some snooping to find out that for that hour or so rental of the chapel the cost is $ 2,500, but that also includes a rehearsal time slot and a wedding coordinator. I do know that my niece booked this chapel in January or February for the November date.
After the ceremony, the guests all lined the exit down the back stairs (probably because the next wedding party was on the ground floor waiting for their time). The wedding party all walked down the stairs and off we went to another location for the reception.

Best Bridal is very professional, and the Ocean Crystal Chapel is a gorgeous place to have a ceremony. They assign a wedding coordinator to you, who will start working with you almost immediately after you book the venue.
Because my husband and I put together our own ceremony and even had a friend officiate for us, we were so glad to have Best Bridal help us through the process. They reviewed our final ceremony program and walked us through the rehearsal. The ceremony ran very smoothly.
My only complaint is that we requested that they remove the cross from the chapel, and they forgot to do so for both the rehearsal and the ceremony.
