1. Where do we obtain the marriage license?
You fill out the application for a marriage license at Hawaii State Department of Health 1250 Punchbowl St. in Honolulu (open 8am to 4pm Mon. - Fri.) Bride and Groom must appear in person. Bring a picture ID with a proof of age (driver's license, passport etc.) and $60 in cash (subject to change). Please bring your marriage license to the ceremony with you. The license is valid for 30 days. You can obtain the license in the morning and get married in the afternoon. It is easy to get married in Paradise! Call (808) 586-4544 for more details or to download the application form go to: http://www.hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/marriage/index.html

2. What kind of ceremony do you conduct?
Our ceremony is more spiritual for the couple's love and blessings in nature in English and Hawaiian languages. Vows are not specifically denominational or religious.
Please review our vows at http://www.weddingbythesea-hawaii.com/vows.htm
It takes 15 minutes for a ceremony, and up to 45 minutes for a photo and video session.

3. We don't have a witness for the ceremony.
Our photographer will be your witness. A witness is required for your wedding ceremony by Hawaii State Law.

4. What is the best time to perform the ceremony?
1 hour before sunset. A camera captures gentle and romantic colors. Day time is too hot for you and too bright for a camera. Hawaii is a tropical island!

5. If we cancel the reservation, will we get the money back?
If you cancel the reservation 30 days prior to the scheduled wedding date, we will refund your money- less $200 as cancellation and arrangement fee. Exclusive packages may require a higher cancellation fee.

6. Do you arrange any other specific packages?
Yes, please inquire. We are here to serve you and help you make a commitment to the love you'll cherish forever in beautiful Hawaii.

1. $25 is charged for a returned check.
