Ladies - Maggie would encourage you to match a typical destination wedding vibe - so feel free to wear a bright, vibrant colored dress of your choice!
However you'd like! There are no scheduled events aside from the optional Welcome Party on 4/9, and the Wedding & Reception on 4/10. The Roses will plan to have a casual "pool day" on Saturday, 4/11 at the Andaz - reserving a few cabanas for the afternoon for those who want to lounge at the pool the day after the festivities! We want you to make this an experience you will remember, so feel free to create your own itinerary / plan any activities that interest you the most. Feel free to check out the "M & H's Favorite Island Spots" tab for itinerary inspiration!
Yes, the resort has easy access to Uber, drivers will pick you up at the front of the resort. The prices are similar to those in any major city, so don't expect much of a difference. There is also a complimentary shuttle that will transport you to various restaurants or bars off-site (but still only 5 - 10 mins from the resort). We took advantage of this FREE transportation option, so we suggest that you do, too!
We will be serving a customary Hawaiian "Ohana" family style plated dinner with a variety of salad, entree, and side choices, so you will be able to make your own dish from sharable portions at your table! No need to include a dinner selection on the RSVP as there isn't one.
