What about the Marriage Laws in Hawaii?
You must get your marriage license from the state of Hawaii. You cannot go to your hometown and get a license and bring it here with you. It is your responsibility to go to the Governor’s office and complete the forms prior to the wedding. The cost (at the time of this publication) is $60.00. They require cash and one form of identification. If you are a citizen of the United States, you won’t need a Passport to come to Hawaii. If you had to have a Passport to get on the plane then you can … [Read More...]
What is the most important thing to YOU about your WEDDING?
My question to you is…What is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing about your wedding? As your coordinator I have to know this. You might not have thought about this question, but I want you to start thinking about what that might be. Is it that your Dad walks you down the aisle? Do you want to keep it just about the two of you? Do you want a long train for your gown? Do you even want a gown? Is it the photos or the cake? Whatever the answer may be, spend the most time, money, and effort on that one thing … [Read More...]
Where is Kona? Where is Hawaii?
Where is Hawaii? It might sound like a crazy topic to cover, but I am asked this question every day. Pull up Hawaii on Google maps and check out how far we are from the coast of Southern California. We have three major islands where most of the tourists go, and then we have two smaller islands for the rest of them. Then we have a couple of islands where no tourists go. Don’t confuse the island of Hawaii with Honolulu. Honolulu is a city on the island of Oahu and that island is where … [Read More...]
How Much Will a Hawaii Wedding Cost?
How much will this cost? After being a travel agent for many years I can tell you that prices for airline tickets range from around $500 to $1,800 per person. The price of your vacation/honeymoon all depends on the time of the year, the specials that the resorts are having, and how much you want to spend on activities. Your wedding is a separate issue and that is up to you too. Wedding packages range from $199 to the upper thousands. You need to find your range and then plan on spending … [Read More...]
Do you ask yourself?
Is a destination wedding right for us? Absolutely! My name is Helen and I have assisted brides, grooms, mothers, aunts, and friends in planning their weddings on the Big Island of Hawaii for many years.

Of course, if you are a high-strung person that likes to stress over everything…we can come up with something for you to worry … [Read More...]
