Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Semi-Formal Aloha attire! Aloha print is appreciated but it is not required. We do, however, ask the gentlemen to wear collared shirts. Please, we kindly ask to not wear the Manuhealiʻi ʻAwapuhi print from 2024, as special family will be wearing these prints. Mahalo!

Question

Are kids and plus-ones welcome?

Answer

Yes! We welcome you and the ʻohana to come join in this celebration! Please RSVP the total number of adults and children that will be attending. We kindly ask that, during the ceremony, to not have children wandering. As for the reception, it may get a little crowded, so please keep an eye on your children. Mahalo!

Question

Is there parking for ceremony/ reception?

Answer

The ceremony and reception are held at the same location, so moving vehicles is not needed. Parking is available at the venue, but is limited. Street parking is available on ʻIlauhole Street.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 1:30pm HST. Please arrive to the venue and be seated 10 minutes before to avoid any distractions as the wedding party arrives.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

If you and a big party are planning to travel together, an Airbnb might be in your best interest. Please just keep in mind the venue is located in Waimānalo, which can be 35+ minute drive from Waikīkī. For those not familiar with Oʻahu, Waimānalo is on the Eastern/Windward side of the island. The Leeward side and North Shore of Oʻahu would take about a 45+ minute journey.

Question

What does B.Y.O.B. mean?

Answer

Bring your own beverages! In Hawaiʻi, it is very common to bring your own drinks, beer, wine, hard liquor, etc. in coolers. There will be limited amounts of juice and water available, so we encourage you to bring your beverages of choice!
