A staff member from the venue will be on-site, so feel free to ask them any questions about the venue. However, please note that they are not your planner or day-of coordinator. For this reason, we require that all events have an event coordinator or planner responsible for managing and securing the event. The coordinator must be introduced to our staff and remain on-site from setup until breakdown is completed.
Hawaii
Any time! That is why Hawaii is the number one resort area to visit for vacations and weddings.
January to March is the whale-watching season.
April to September is the spring and summer season, when the island sees the highest temperature and the lowest amount of rain.
October to March is the fall and winter season, when the sunsets are especially beautiful, and the sky takes on a pinkish-purplish hue.
November to December is the holiday season, when all the hotels are decorated in Christmas décor.
All throughout the year, T-shirts and shorts are comfortable wear. (Oh! Don’t forget to bring a light jacket, as some restaurants and hotels have strong air conditioning!)
Legal Marriage
Before arriving in Hawaii, please check the State of Hawaii Licensing Bureau or visit their website for further information.
Upon arriving in Hawaii, you can pick up the document from an authorized marriage license agent. After the event, your officiant will file the legal documentation on your behalf.
All couples are responsible for applying for and picking up the marriage license. For couples outside of the United States, please verify your country’s legal requirements and check to see if there is a process needed to be taken in addition to the Hawaii marriage certificate.
The legal age to marry in Hawaii is 18 years, which requires proof of age in the form of ID or driver’s license. There are no residency or citizenship requirements. Both parties must appear in person to obtain the document.
Hawaii Wedding
It is rare to see heavy rain in Hawaii; they say that when it rains on you, it will bring you fortune! If it rains heavily, don’t worry—all our venues have indoor spaces where we can accommodate you in the event of heavy rain, which we rarely see.
The ceremony itself is 15-20 minutes long; the officiant will take you step by step. No worries!
It is totally up to you! Most couples do a quick rehearsal on the day of their wedding. If you wish to have a rehearsal on a separate day, we can arrange it for extra cost. The date must be reserved, as we cannot do a rehearsal when there is an event going on.
Many people don’t realize the importance of having an event planner or coordinator until the day of the event, and we’ve seen how stressful it can become. Having a dedicated planner or coordinator helps take the pressure off and ensures your special day runs smoothly. They handle logistics, coordinate vendors, communicate with us, manage venue use, and keep the timeline on track so you and your guests can fully enjoy the day.
That’s why we require an event coordinator or planner to be present, even for smaller events. While they don’t have to be a professional, the designated person must take responsibility from setup to cleanup. This ensures everything goes off without a hitch, leaving you free to celebrate!
