FAQs
Question

Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
Please plan to arrive 15–30 minutes before the ceremony starts to allow time for parking, finding your seat, and settling in. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
Yes! There will be both valet and self-parking options available at the venue, and we’ll be covering the cost- no need to worry about paying. The parking garage is a bit small, so if you're able to carpool or take a rideshare like Uber, that’s encouraged and appreciated!
Question
Is the ceremony and reception in the same place?
Answer
Yes, both the ceremony and reception will be at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki, but in different areas of the property. The ceremony will take place on the Nalea Terrace, located on the second floor of the main hotel. The reception will follow in the Regency Ballroom, which is across Uluniu Avenue from the main hotel building. We’ll have signs and directions to help guide you between the two spaces!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! Our wedding will be tropical formal, reflecting a relaxed yet elegant island vibe. For women, think flowy or maxi dresses and dressy sundresses in light, breathable fabrics paired with sandals or wedges. For men, lightweight suits, dress pants with aloha shirts, or nice button-downs with loafers or dress shoes are perfect. Comfortable, stylish, and ready for the beautiful Hawaiian setting!
Question
Is the ceremony and reception outdoor or indoor?
Answer
Our ceremony will take place outdoors on the scenic Nalea Terrace, perfect for soaking in the Hawaiian atmosphere. The reception will be held indoors in the Regency Ballroom, providing a comfortable (air-conditioned!) and elegant setting for the evening’s festivities.
Question
What's the weather like in July?
Answer
July in Hawaii is warm and mostly sunny with some tradewinds, making it comfortable for our outdoor ceremony. We will provide shade coverings for those who cannot be in the sun. Evenings can be a bit cooler, especially indoors with air conditioning, so bringing a light layer is a good idea.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love your little ones, but unless your invitation specifically states otherwise, the ceremony and reception will be an adults-only celebration. Thank you for understanding!
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
We kindly ask that you only bring a guest if your invitation indicates you have a plus one. Thank you for respecting our wishes as we celebrate with our closest loved ones!
