FAQs

Question

When/how should I RSVP

Answer

RSVP as soon as possible via the website or by our deadline Wednesday, February 15, 2023.

Question

When should we arrive/leave? What's the plan?

Answer

We will be arriving Friday, May 19, 2023 and departing for our honeymoon Wednesday, May 24, 2023 following our Farewell Brunch. Review the schedule tab of our website for updates on our welcome event Monday, May 22, 2023 and more!

Question

Where should we stay?

Answer

Nothing is really “too far” when you’re on an island but the travel tab has a variety of options in different price ranges. Turtle Bay resort accommodations are the closest to the venue—6 minute drive. On Turtle Bay property there is the resort itself, beach-front private condo options and also Kuilima Estate private condos (where we are staying) which are about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Courtyard Marriott is about a 13 minute drive to the venue and across the street from the beach. This hotel is a little further from popular Haleiwa/North Shore attractions but a great hotel option across the street from the beach. Otherwise, check out Air BnB and VRBO for places near Pupukea which is a 6 minute drive to the venue and among popular beaches, Waimea Falls and Haleiwa shopping and restaurants, etc.

Question

How far is the venue from the airport/downtown Honolulu/Waikiki?

Answer

The venue is a 1 hr drive from Honolulu International Airport. The suggested accommodations are 5-10 minutes closer or further depending on where you choose to stay.

Question

What's the weather going to be like?

Answer

Hawaii weather averages a high of 83 and low of 69 in May. Precipitation is an average of 3.5" total (not a lot) for the month, so hopefully we don't experience much rain while we're there. Pack for warm weather but bring a light jacket in case of evening breezes.

Question

What is the time difference in Hawaii?

Answer

Hawaii Time is 6 hours behind for those of you traveling from the East Coast--12 PM EST = 6 AM HST. Refer to this site for a personalized time difference calculator: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/est-to-united-states-hawaii-honolulu

Question

Where will the ceremony and reception be?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be located outside on a grass landing that transitions to sandy beach and ocean waves at Loulu Palm Farm Estate in Haleiwa, HI, just before it turns to Kahuku, HI.

Question

What should I wear to the wedding?

Answer

The dress code is comfortable and dressy casual but there is a color scheme! Ocean blues and sandy tans and golds. Also, don’t forget sunscreen, sun glasses, your favorite beach hat, etc…

Question

Should I bring my kids?

Answer

Totally up to you, but there will be no shortage of children around if you’d like to bring yours too! We’ll have a fun bounce house and other entertainment to keep your kids happy and comfortable during the reception. Reach out to Jasmine if you have any concerns or needs to accommodate your babies best during the event.

Question

How should we plan to get to the wedding venue?

Answer

Free parking is provided on-site. It will be a night full of fun, though, so an Uber/Lyft may be the best idea especially if you are staying close by. We will have a shuttle service arriving at the venue at 10:15 PM that will take guests to Kuilima Estates at Turtle Bay, then return to the venue to take guests to Courtyard Marriott in Laie, HI. NOTE: If you drive to the venue and end up taking the shuttle home, you need to retrieve your car from the venue by 10 AM the next day.

Question

What kind of food will be served at the cocktail hour/reception?

Answer

We will have an open bar throughout the event, appetizers during cocktail hour and a buffet-style dinner at the reception. We will be serving up local favorites for you to enjoy.
