WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

Luckily, this does not happen very often!  In the event we have localized rain showers, we will attempt to move your ceremony to a nearby beach where it is not raining. If the rain is island wide, we will proceed as planned with umbrellas unless the weather is dangerous. It is almost impossible to re-schedule a wedding because of the availability of our team and clients planned travel schedules, so we do not re-schedule a wedding unless the conditions are too dangerous to be out in.  

CAN WE HAVE CHAIRS OR ARCHES ON THE BEACH FOR OUR WEDDING?

All the beaches of Hawaii are considered public property and chairs, arches or any other thing that could obstruct use of other people using the beach is not allowed.

HOW DO WE GET OUR HAWAII MARRIAGE LICENSE?

To get married in Hawaii, a Marriage License must be received from the Department of Health before the Wedding. No blood tests (or divorce records) are required, only valid photo ID's and $60 cash (or $65 online payment).*

*Important: If you are under 19 years old, please bring your Birth Certificate and a Photo ID as proof of legal age to marry. If you have been divorced less than two months, please bring your Divorce decree.

Single persons 18 years of age and above may marry without parental consent. 17 year-olds need one parent's consent, and 16-year olds need both parents' consent.

Wedding packages do not include a Marriage License, which can only be obtained by the Bride & Groom by appearing in person together at the Dept. of Health.

No assistance is necessary to get a Marriage License, just a simple one-page Application form (which only the Bride & Groom know the answers).

Now you can expedite your application process and apply for your Marriage License online at:

Once you have filled out your online Marriage License Application and $65.00 online payment, just visit the Dept. of Health to pick up your MARRIAGE LICENSE. Bring your ID's with you when you go.
