The sunset ceremony will take place at the Holualoa Inn, a bed and breakfast located on a coffee farm overlooking the town of Kona and the Pacific Ocean. A reception will immediately follow on the property. The reception will be outdoors but under a covered pavilion. September evenings in Hawaii are fair but breezy. While the temperature typically stays in the mid-70s at night, there is a chance of wind or rain at our elevation, so consider bringing a coat or light jacket. An optional cocktail reception open to all guests will precede the ceremony beginning at 4:45 pm. Dinner will include a classic Hawaiian pig roast with local sides (limited vegetarian options are also available). There will be transportation provided to and from the venue from the Fairmont Orchid. A private coach bus will pick up guests in front of the Fairmont at 3:30 pm to take them to the venue. It will return immediately after the reception at 10 pm. Please do not be late as the bus will not wait.
