FAQs

We tried to provide as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Guests will be asked to RSVP upon receipt of their formal invitations. Invitations should be sent out no later than February 2025. If you are currently able to RSVP, please do so no later than March 13, 2025.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

We are forgoing the traditional wedding gift registry and requesting monetary contributions towards our honeymoon and house projects that we have on the horizon. There are options on the Registry tab and there will be a card box at the ceremony!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 pm. We recommend arriving around 3:30 pm, but no later than 3:45 pm. There will be very limited seating, so please arrive early if you wish to secure a seat! In addition, due to the layout of the ceremony area, guests who arrive late will be asked to wait until the ceremony is over.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our celebration is cocktail/semi-formal attire and we would love to see our guests dress to impress! With the beautiful Ko’olau mountains as our backdrop along with our simple and romantic decor, the options are endless! The theme/vibes we're going for is romantic luxe garden party. We recommend dressing in a chic, knee-length or midi dress in a luxurious fabric like satin, chiffon, or tulle for the ladies and a well tailored blazer or suits for the men. We encourage our guests to dress in pink, purple, green, or shades of blue to add a touch of romance and glamour. Please refrain from wearing red. Keep in mind that the ceremony will be on grass so thicker heels or wedges are recommended.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Our intention is to keep our celebration intimate. While we would love to accommodate everyone, not all guests have been given a plus one. Therefore, invitations are specifically addressed to the invited guests and we kindly ask that you respect the invitation as it is addressed. Please refrain from bringing additional guests. If there are any questions, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating this special occasion with you!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

This will be an adults-only celebration and therefore we will not be accommodating children under the age of 18. We appreciate your understanding and thank you in advance for making arrangements to celebrate with us!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We have rooms courtesy blocked at the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki at the following link: https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1719529680009&key=GRP&app=resvlink

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There will be free parking at the venue, it is a short 3-5 minute walk to the ceremony area.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Unfortunately there is no transportation to and from the hotel but there will be ample parking. We encourage our guests to take an Uber or Lyft if you plan on drinking.

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

We have guests traveling from all over, so we would love an opportunity for our wedding guests to meet each other prior to the wedding celebration. So we decided to have a Welcome Party! It'll provide an opportunity for our loved ones to mingle and also play some fun games centered around the Bride and Groom! Due to the size of the venue we are limiting the guests for this event.
