FAQs

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is semi-formal pastel colours. We’d love to see shades of light blue, sandstone, and colors inspired by the ocean—think soft, breezy, and elegant. Please avoid black, super dark, bold, or bright colors, as we’re aiming for a more serene, refined vibe.

Question

Is the wedding indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony will be held outdoors on grass, while the reception will take place indoors. Hawaii weather is hot, sunny, and fairly humid, so please dress accordingly! We recommend avoiding shorts, high heels for the grass, and sandals for the outdoor ceremony. It's a good idea to wear something comfortable and appropriate for both settings!

Question

Is there parking available?

Answer

Yes! Onsite parking will be available at The Kahala for $10 per day (cash/card accepted).

Answer

Dinner will be served at approximately 6pm with plated meals for each guest. If you have any food allergies, please let us know ASAP so we can make the proper arrangements with our venue.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Question

What time will the reception end?

Answer

The reception will end approximately at 10:00pm to begin clean up, as we will need to be off the premises by 11:00pm.

Question

What if I didn't R.S.V.P in time?

Answer

If we do not receive your RSVP by the date provided, it will automatically be marked as "no", We will miss celebrating with you but it is imperative we provide our vendors with a final guest count within the time they have given us. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I take photos and video during the ceremony?

Answer

Our wedding ceremony will be an unplugged occasion. We kindly ask that you be present with us, and keep phones and cameras off and away once the ceremony begins. We will allow a moment for everyone to take photos before the ceremony begins, and have hired Derek Wong Photography to capture all the special moments to share with you!
