We would love for you to contemplate taking a wonderful Hawaiian vacation up until a month before, but we (in the kindest way possible) request that you RSVP by December 1, 2025. We want to maximize the experience for our guests who are able to make it!

Question
Is there parking for the wedding if we are staying off resort?
Answer
Yes, the Fairmont offers valet parking or self parking. We recommend using a ride-share service like uber on the day of the wedding so that you can fully unwind and celebrate! The resort also has a complimentary shuttle service for anywhere in the Mauna Lani area (see transportation FAQ).
Question
Is there transportation provided?
Answer
All of our events will take place at the Fairmont Orchid. The resort offers a complimentary shuttle service to the surrounding areas that include Mauna Lani, the shops at Mauna Lani, and the surrounding village/vacation rentals. The only restriction is that the shuttle does not go on the highway, so you will need your own transportation to the adjacent areas such as Waikoloa Village.
