If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out!
Question

Where will the celebrations take place?

Answer

Our ceremony and reception will be held in Waiehu, HI. The wedding will take place on the Balobar Ohana property. We ask everyone to please be respectful, no loitering around the property. Only on the lawn where the wedding festivities are taking place.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

We’re excited to celebrate this special day surrounded by our closest family and friends. As we’re keeping it intimate, only those formally invited on your wedding invitation can be accommodated. If you have a plus one, it will be noted on your invitation and when you RSVP.

Question

Are kids welcomed?

Answer

As much as we’d love to invite everyone’s children, we can only accommodate those part of the wedding ceremony and under the age of 2. We hope that you will understand this decision and that you still will be able to join us on our special day.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the official ceremony starts at 4:30 p.m. so you can settle before the proceedings. For those coming from Lahaina, we recommend planning ahead to avoid any traffic.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal / Aloha wear However, we kindly ask our guest not to dress in white/ivory/crème colors.

Question

Will the celebrations take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

The ceremony, cocktail hour and reception will take place outdoors. The reception area will have tent coverage.

Question

Is there parking available at the venue?

Answer

Yes. There will be street parking available. However, if you can carpool with others, that would help to ensure there’s enough parking space. There will be a designated person that will help organize parking out in the front. We ask that you please be respectful when parking on the street as it is in a neighborhood.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

You can click the RSVP tab above and RSVP at any time before July 17, 2026.

Question

What if I can’t make it?

Answer

You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate “Will NOT Attend” on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP'd "Attending" but find that you will not make it, please notify Erica as soon as you are aware.

Question

What if I don't RSVP in time?

Answer

If you do not RSVP by July 17, 2026, you will be marked as "not attending". We would love celebrating with you, however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVP's. (This will mean you are not allowed to show up to our wedding. There will be no seating, food or drink accommodations for you).

Question

I have dietary restrictions/allergies, what’s the best way to let you know?

Answer

Please feel free to contact either one of us and we can let you know what will be on the menu.
