Hawaii Wedding Packages

It depends on how many people are coming and how much you would like us to handle. If you only want the ceremony, the Manoa package gives you a Hawaii minister and Hawaiian traditions on the beach. For an elopement with photos and flowers, choose Sweet Lover’s, or the Waikiki package if up to 5 guests are joining you. Lovers in Paradise adds a flower design, 2 hours of photography and a highlight video. For a full wedding with a custom arch, chairs, a musician, video, a limousine and a cake, choose Beach Chapel Arch, or the Kahala Wedding at The Kahala Hotel & Resort. The Kuulei package adds a reception dinner for up to 12 people with a hula show.

Our packages range from $350 to $15,000: Manoa $350, Sweet Lover’s $950, Waikiki $1,250, Lovers in Paradise $3,500, Beach Chapel Arch $5,700, the Kahala Wedding $5,700 and the Kuulei Reception package $15,000. All packages have a 4.712% Hawaii state tax.

With us, a beach wedding on Oahu starts at $350 for the Manoa package, a ceremony with a Hawaii minister and Hawaiian traditions. An elopement with a photographer, a bouquet and leis is $950 with Sweet Lover’s, or $1,250 with the Waikiki package for up to 5 guests. Full beach weddings with a custom arch, chairs, video, a limousine and a cake start at $5,700. On top of the package, plan for the $65 Hawaii marriage license and the 4.712% Hawaii state tax.

Yes. For a beach wedding on Oahu, $5,000 goes a long way. It covers our Lovers in Paradise package at $3,500, with a coordinator, a flower design along your aisle, a bouquet and leis, 2 hours of photography and a highlight video, with room left for the tax, your marriage license and add-ons like a haku lei. Our full-service Beach Chapel Arch and Kahala Wedding packages start at $5,700.

Not completely. Hawaii beaches are public, but every couple needs a Hawaii marriage license, which is a $65 state fee, and a licensed officiant to perform the ceremony. A state or city permit is also required for weddings on a beach. Our simplest option is the Manoa package at $350, which includes a Hawaii minister, Hawaiian traditions and help with your marriage license.

Yes. Beach weddings are one of the most popular ways to get married in Hawaii, and all of our packages can be on an Oahu beach. You will need a Hawaii marriage license and a beach permit, and we help with both. See our Hawaii beach weddings page for beach ideas and setups.

Sweet Lover’s is for the two of you, with no guests. The Waikiki package is for up to 5 guests. The Beach Chapel Arch and Kahala Wedding packages include up to 20 decorated chairs for your guests, and the Kuulei Reception package includes dinner for up to 12 people, including the bride and groom.

Manoa is a ceremony only, with no photographer. Sweet Lover’s includes 1 hour of photography with 200 to 230 photos, and Waikiki includes 1 hour and 15 minutes with 250 to 300 photos. Lovers in Paradise includes 2 hours of photography with 350 to 400 edited photos and a highlight video. Beach Chapel Arch and the Kahala Wedding include photos from getting ready to romance photos on the beach, up to 500 to 600 edited photos and a two-camera highlight video. Kuulei includes up to 1,000 edited photos and full video of your wedding and reception. The photos are yours to keep and print.

On beaches, in parks, by waterfalls, at estates and at hotels around Oahu, from Waikiki and Honolulu to The Kahala Hotel & Resort. See our beach, waterfall, park and hotel wedding pages, and we will help you choose the right spot for your package.

Yes. Every package includes help with your Hawaii marriage license, before and after the ceremony. The license is a state fee of $65 and is good for 30 days. There is no waiting period and no witnesses are required, so you can apply online before your trip and pick it up in person when you arrive. Here is how it works:

1. Apply online: fill out the State of Hawaii marriage license application at emrs.ehawaii.gov/emrs.
2. Meet an agent in person: both partners must appear together in person before an authorized Hawaii marriage license agent to pick up the physical license.
   City Financial Tower, Suite 100, 201 Merchant St., Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 (corner of Merchant & Alakea Streets, 1st floor). Phone: (808) 586-4544.
3. Bring the required documents: valid government-issued photo IDs, such as a driver’s license or passport. If either partner was divorced or widowed within 30 days of the application, bring a recent divorce decree or death certificate. Minors (ages 15–17) need birth certificates and parental or court consent.
4. After the ceremony: your minister processes the license, and we help you before and after.

Yes. Hawaii requires a state or city permit for any wedding on a beach or other public land, even a small ceremony for two. The Waikiki package includes the Hawaii State event permit for using the beach, and for every other package we will tell you which permit your location needs when you book.

No. Like most Hawaii wedding packages, our prices do not include Hawaii’s 4.712% general excise tax, which is added to every package.

Yes. Every package works for a vow renewal as well as a wedding, with the same locations, ministers and Hawaiian traditions. See our vow renewals page for ideas for every anniversary.

A $100 deposit reserves your date for the Manoa, Sweet Lover’s, Waikiki and Lovers in Paradise packages. The Kahala Wedding needs a $100 deposit plus a $3,000 Kahala resort deposit fee. The Beach Chapel Arch package needs a $1,000 deposit, and the Kuulei Reception package needs a $2,500 deposit.

It is best to book 3 to 6 months ahead, or up to a year ahead if you can. That way your preferred date, location and minister are still available.

Of course. Tell us how many guests you plan to invite, and whether you are dreaming of a simple elopement or a full wedding with a reception, and we will suggest the package that fits. All of our weddings are on the island of Oahu.
