Regina Leilani & Jereme Francis
The Celebration
Thursday, January 6, 2028
Welcome Dinner
5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
1670 Honoapiilani Hwy, Wailuku, HI 96793
For our Welcome Dinner, please join us in island-style attire — relaxed, tropical, and perfect for a Maui evening. Think button-down collared shirts, nice shorts, tropical or flowy dresses, and breathable fabrics that keep you comfortable while still looking polished. Island chic without the pressure — we just want you to feel good and enjoy the night!
We’d love to start the celebration early. Please join us for a Welcome Dinner at Café O’Lei at the Mill House, where a drink, appetizer, and entrée will be included. Set on historic sugarcane land, the Maui Tropical Plantation holds special meaning for us—Regina comes from three generations of sugarcane workers, making this venue a quiet tribute to her family’s story. This evening is our way of spending unhurried, meaningful time with our guests—whether you’re traveling across the island or across the ocean to be with us. Come relax, unwind, and help us kick off an unforgettable wedding weekend in true Maui style. We can’t wait to raise a glass with you!

Wedding Ceremony
5:00 pm - 5:45 pm
Our wedding ceremony will take place on a Maui beach at sunset. Because Hawai‘i law strictly limits the number of people allowed at beach ceremonies, we’re keeping this moment very small. We are so thankful to each of you who traveled near and far, and we look forward to celebrating together at the reception where all of our loved ones can gather.
Wedding Reception
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
10 Wailea Gateway Pl, Kihei, HI 96753
Join us for our reception at Monkeypod Kitchen, Jereme and Regina’s favorite date spot! We’ll continue the celebration with island flavors, lively energy, and plenty of aloha. Don’t miss their award-winning Mai Tai—we can’t wait for you to see why it’s a favorite of ours.
Jereme's Birthday Bash! The After Party
Sat, Jan 8, 2028, 9:00 pm - Sun, Jan 9, 2028, 12:00 am
1913 S Kihei Rd Ste J, Kihei, HI 96753
Keep the celebration going—and help us toast Jereme’s birthday (which is Jan 8)! Join us at South Shore Tiki Lounge in Kīhei, where the drinks are strong, the music is lively, and the vibes are pure Maui fun. This spot is special to us—it’s where Jereme met Regina’s mom for the first time on their fourth date, and, according to him, it’s the only pizza outside of New Haven, CT that impressed him. Come ready to dance, laugh, and celebrate both love and birthday island-style!
