Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Try to arrive at 3:30 pm, so you have ample time to find parking, walk around the venue, use the restroom, freshen up, and find a seat at our outdoor ceremony. The ceremony will start promptly at 4:00 PM.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! Kids are welcome.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

We have a block of rooms set up at the Hilton Garden Inn in Waikiki Beach, but we also recommend staying at the Ala Moana, Ilikai, or even at an Airbnb or Vrbo. Costco Travel also has some really good deals if you're looking to book a hotel and rental car together. There are plenty of options on the island!

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Of course, but also be aware that the venue provides dinner buffet-style, so you’ll be free to pick and choose. We will have information on ingredients and food allergies at the venue.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is a huge parking lot in front of the building, and parking shouldn’t be an issue. It’s also free!

Question

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

Answer

Yes! We've booked a 60-seater shuttle to take our guests from the Hilton Garden Inn to Ko'olau Ballrooms. We think this is the safest option, especially if you choose to (responsibly) drink, however space on the shuttle is first-come first-serve with no reserved seats. If you choose to stay at a different hotel but would like to use the shuttle, we recommend making your way to Hilton Garden Inn before 2:45pm, where the shuttle will be located and ready to pick up guests. Pick-up time will be around 2:45-3:00 PM.

Question

When is the best time to book airfare to Hawaii?

Answer

According to travel website Investopedia.com, “Flights are generally the most inexpensive between four months and three weeks before your departure date”. We recommend booking as early as possible to ensure the best rate. We also recommend downloading the Hopper app to find the best time and get predictions on when prices might drop to purchase airfare.

Question

How long do you recommend we stay in Hawaii?

Answer

We recommend 3-5 days, depending on your schedule. Since our wedding is on a Friday, you could fly in the day before, and stay for the weekend!

Question
