Waialua Soda Works: island-made sodas perfect for destination weddings


I don't quite remember when I first came across a bottle of Waialua Soda, but I do remember the cute label with the retro hula dancer, and the fun tropical flavors. In recent years, they've become mainstays at local eateries and supermarkets, and now, even at weddings!

I love the idea of providing guests who travel to Hawaii with welcome gifts delivered to their hotel rooms, particularly when those gifts contain delightful island-made products. In the welcome basket shown below, guests received bags of Hawaiian Isle coffee, a tropical scented loofah-soap, and of course, bottles of Waialua Soda, perfect for enjoying in their rooms. The colorful labels add a cheerful touch to the gift.


Waialua Sodas also make great beverages at off-premise events where providing your own drinks is encouraged. Pop off the cap, stick a bright colored straw in it, and you've got a fun drink which also looks fantastic in photos. Some couples will even choose the flavors that tie in with their wedding colors: Root Beer (ivory and brown), Pineapple (sky blue and yellow), Mango (chartreuse green and orange), Vanilla Cream (wheat and ivory), Lilikoi (bubblegum pink and pastel pink), and Kona Red (ivory and red). My personal favorite: pineapple! Best yet, if your wedding is taking place on the island of O'ahu, the folks at Waialua Soda Works deliver free of charge with a two-case minimum purchase. Can't beat that!
