The two most popular areas to stay are Waikiki and the North Shore. Waikiki is in Honolulu city center and has many resorts, restaurants, shopping options, and a beautiful popular beach. The North Shore is a laid-back surfer town with tasty local restaurants, food trucks, cool shops, and plenty of shave ice. It is definitely a slower island town in comparison to the Waikiki city vibe. The North Shore is also known for its incredible beaches and great surfing waves. You can't go wrong with either and you are only an hour's drive away from any other part of the island so you can do easy day road trips to explore and see other areas.
Yes! We will be providing a free shuttle to take guests from the Waikiki area to the wedding venue and back so everyone can enjoy themselves without worrying about the drive. As well as enjoy the incredible hawaii highway views!
You can either utilize the shuttle or drive yourself. The venue has plenty of parking walking distance from the ceremony and reception site. The drive can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour from Waikiki and 30 minutes away from the North Shore.
Yes! There will be many kids at the ceremony. There's a huge lawn at the venue and we plan to have lawn games for people to enjoy, too. We are excited to see all of the kid's best dance moves!
Generally, October in Hawaii is 70 - 80 degree weather. The venue is between the ocean and the mountains, so it is prone to sudden showers and windy moments. The reception will be held under a beautiful big top tent, so we will be sheltered from the elements!
For the wedding, we ask that you wear semi-formal attire such as a tea-length dress or dressy separates for women and a suit and tie for men.
We don't recommend that you wear stiletto heels. The venue is mostly a grassy lawn, so wear chunky heels, wedges, or sandals.
Please indicate any dietary restrictions or allergies in your RSVP so we can be sure to accommodate you.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to Doug or Kara, also for travel questions you can email our travel agent Kristen Fairbanks (kfairbanks@mandmmagicaladventures.com) for assistance booking hotel, flights, rental cars, and excursions.
