This will be a simple beach ceremony against a breathtaking ocean backdrop during the sunset hour. There will be a short photography session including all guests. This is not a seated event, but a small number of chairs will be available. The event is phone-free; we ask that you ENJOY the moment and let the photographer do the work of capturing it :-) There will most likely be a shuttle from Kailua-Kona Airbnbs/Hotels to the ceremony, which will leave around 4:30 (further details to follow.)

Same attire as beach ceremony
This will be a seated 4-course dinner in a scenic private area of the restaurant, outside overlooking the ocean. The menu looks great and has been approved by Chef James! There will most likely be a shuttle back to Kailua-Kona Airbnbs/Hotels from the dinner (further details to follow.)
