FAQs

Question

What should I bring to the ceremony? to the reception?

Answer

The ceremony will take place on the beach between 3 and 4pm. Although it is not the hottest part of the day, we recommend being prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. You may want cash for the bar at the reception and possibly a sweater for after the sun goes down.

Question

Where is the ceremony and how will we get there?

Answer

The ceremony will take place at Waimanalo beach, about a 45 minute drive from Waikiki. Guests will be transported to the ceremony and back to Waikiki. All you have to do is be ready in the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott (a 7 minute walk away from the reception venue) at 2:30pm. Don't be late!

Question

What do I wear to a wedding in Hawaii?

Answer

You are welcome to dress up as much as you'd like, however, a few things to keep in mind for those new to the island style: - You will likely be taking off your shoes to walk along the beach at both the ceremony and reception - It is HOT! You may want a sweater once the sun goes down, but likely us Canadians will still be perfectly content in shorts and a t shirt at all hours - Typical dress up Hawaiian attire includes: a nice sundress (short or maxi), khaki shorts and an Aloha shirt, dress pants and a button up shirt, a nice romper, etc. Most importantly we want our guests to feel comfortable and fabulous! There is no dress code, come as you are!

Question
