FAQs

Question

When should I arrive in Maui?

Answer

We recommend arriving no later than Friday to adjust to the time difference and enjoy the weekend. The wedding ceremony is on Saturday at 4:00 PM, and check-in for the boat begins at 3:30 PM at Lahaina Harbor.

Question

Where is the wedding ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will take place on a private boat charter with Pacific Whale Foundation, departing from Lahaina Harbor. Address: 675 Wharf Street, Lahaina, HI 96761 Please arrive by 3:30 PM on Saturday so we can begin boarding on time. The boat will depart promptly at 4:00 PM.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Our wedding attire is Aloha Resort Style, which means comfortable, polished, and island-inspired clothing perfect for a beautiful day on the water. Think lightweight fabrics, tropical prints, bright colors, and breezy styles. For example: For women: Sundresses, maxi dresses, skirts, or nice pants paired with colorful tops or blouses. For men: Casual button-down shirts (Hawaiian prints welcome!), linen pants or shorts, and loafers or sandals. Please note: Shoes will need to be removed before boarding the boat, so we recommend wearing easy-to-slip-off footwear like sandals or flats. Avoid heavy or formal shoes.

Question

Will there be food and drinks?

Answer

There will be a limited bar with select beverages and hand-held small bites served during the ceremony. Please reach out to us in advance if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies so we can accommodate you.

Question

Is there a restroom on the boat?

Answer

The boat is equipped with restrooms for guest convenience.

Question

Are children welcome?

Answer

Due to the unique nature of our boat venue, we kindly ask that this celebration be an adults-only event. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to share this special day with you!

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

Due to limited space on the boat, only guests who are specifically invited with a plus-one on their invitation may bring a guest. If your invitation does not include a guest, we kindly ask that you attend solo. Thank you for understanding!

Question

What happens if the weather is bad?

Answer

We will monitor the weather closely. If the ceremony needs to be postponed or moved, we will notify guests as soon as possible.

Question

Is there a reception after the ceremony?

Answer

The wedding ceremony will take place on the boat only — there will be no formal reception afterward. However, guests are warmly invited to join the bride and groom for casual drinks at a no-host bar at the Sheraton following the ceremony. This is a great opportunity to celebrate together in a relaxed setting!

Question

Is there a way to support the Pacific Whale Foundation?

Answer

The boat we’ll be celebrating on is operated by the Pacific Whale Foundation, a wonderful non-profit dedicated to marine conservation. If you feel inspired, donations and tipping the crew are warmly encouraged to support their important work. Every bit helps protect Hawaii’s ocean life!
