The time needed to plan your wedding depends, in part, on the number of guests you expect. If you’re having a small, intimate wedding, venues and catering are easier to secure. For large weddings, we recommend that you begin planning at least nine months in advance. That timing will allow us to secure your choice of venue, plan the menu, coordinate your officiant, flowers, photography and the other details that make your wedding the day of your dreams.

With our year-round, warm, tropical weather and direct flight access from many parts of the U.S., Canada and beyond, we host Honolulu weddings throughout the year. You may wish to consider having your celebration when you and your guests can also enjoy the most time off to vacation on Oahu. Alternatively, your wedding may be scheduled when you’re looking for a much-needed break from winter. The choice is yours.

As your destination wedding requires travel, your number of guests may be smaller. Typically, fewer people can plan for a trip to Hawaii, which means your wedding may be an opportunity for a more personal, intimate celebration.

When you’re planning your menu, consider including items that are unique to our location. We can help you customize your menu with local specialties. Let our Chef and Catering professionals add a taste of Hawaii to your celebration.

To bring the best of the Islands to your wedding, be sure to choose local elements. Consider your selection of flowers. Incorporating leis into your ceremony weaves a Hawaiian tradition into your wedding. Music is another way to make your day distinctive. Our team of professionals can help you with the details that will personalize your wedding, incorporating a true sense of place.

Marriage in Hawaii requires a license. To apply, the couple must appear together before a marriage license agent. In Honolulu, that means going to the Health Department Building. You must present your valid identification, along with a completed application, which can applied for online.  Your license is valid immediately for a period of 30 days. You can receive it one day and be married the next.
