If you want the ultimate in small island settings, plan your trip for Lana'i. I've talked about how great it is in another post in this thread. The Hotel Lana'i is affordable and beautiful

here is Ms. VanTiki in front of the Hotel Lanai

• I'd reccommend one of the rooms with a balcany that overlooks sleepy Lana'i Town. You don't need a car - the shuttle is free from the airport and you can walk around the town, to the Four Seasons Loge (where you can play croqet on their AMAZING grounds), and you can take the shuttle to the four seasons resort at the bay for world calss snorkeling. If you want a jolt of "city life" you can take the ferry over to Lahaina, Maui for a day of shopping. On top of that, the hiking is terrific! Cant be beat!

Here is where I want to retire someday (plantation manager's house on "Haole Hill":

Here is the whaling town Lahaina as we pull into harbor on the inter island ferry:

Here I am snagging a Tahitian lime for Mai Tais and the like from the Four Season's Lodge (don't tell!) - we liked the limes so much I planted a tree in the back yard!

beautiful upcountry Lana'i:

As you can guess - Lana'i is my fav, but any island caould host a great wedding. Best wishes!
