Welcome to the perfect setting for your wedding day. The Big Island of Hawaii is a picture perfect wedding and honeymoon destination, a place where magic and adventure await the both of you. Imagine… just the two of you together on a golden, tropical beach, exchanging vows and symbols of your love, while a musician plays the Hawaiian Wedding Song accompanied by soothing sounds of the ocean’s gently rolling waves.
A crimson sun slips below the horizon. You look up to swaying palms, silhouetted against a heavenly sunset. Sounds like a picture perfect wedding day, doesn’t it? Here are some Hawaii wedding services that will help you create this on your big day.
There are several islands you can pick from to get married on, Kauai, Maui, Oahu, and Hawaii (the big island). Most of the Hawaiian wedding services perform ceremonies all year round. However, keep in mind that summer and winter months are usually the times when airfare seems to escalate. All Hawaiian wedding services agree that you should purchase, “The Ultimate Guide to Kauai,” before you plan your wedding trip. You can pick this title up at your local bookstore. They claim that couples repeatedly say the book has been the most beneficial for them in planning their trip.
Hawaii wedding services have package rates. The top rates usually include a beach setting, reverent ceremony with Hawaii state licensers. Some services will have you obtain your license before hand from their office. Packages also include a traditional pikake and bride and groom’s lei. Most top rate packages will include a Hawaiian singer with guitar and professional photography. The small reception after the ceremony usually caters 2-12 people on private decks with ocean views. They should also provide a traditional wedding cake and champagne. Other rate packages will include everything in the top rate package without the reception afterwards. If, however, you are planning to spend your money elsewhere, the economy package will still include the ceremony by state licensed officials, the traditional pikake, bride and groom’s lei, and professional photography.
Make sure your Hawaii wedding service can move your location to a different shore if it begins to rain. Sometimes it is better to have a wedding coordinator do the coordinating since they know the island and the people. They also know who offers quality services. If you decide to do it yourself, you should do plenty of research. Otherwise, you will be taking a chance. Most of the Hawaii wedding services are very personalized. If you want to incorporate something in your wedding, such as writing your own vows, most will accommodate this. Just let them know ahead of time.
As with anything, you need to plan ahead and do your homework. Research a bit on-line. Most of the Hawaii wedding services have websites. Check out their FAQS and take a look at the pictures of their locations. If you decide to have your wedding in Hawaii, you will be able to have one of the most important days of your life on one of the most beautiful settings in the world.
