ASKED QUESTIONS:
1.
Do we need to obtain the marriage license?
Although
the same sex marriage was challenged at the state superior court
in Hawaii, it is not yet legal. Therefore, your wedding ceremony
will be personal and no official license will be issued from the
state. We will provide a commemorative certificate which is more
beautiful and framable:-) Relish your love and spiritual reunion
in your very personal commitment ceremony in Hawaii. Yet, you
can register as a Reciprocal Beneficiary Relationship as the Hawaii
State Department of Health states: "A reciprocal beneficiary relationship
is a legal partnership between two people who are prohibited from
marriage (HRS 572C-2). Certain rights and benefits which are
presently available only to married couples are extended to the
two individuals who enter into a reciprocal beneficiary relationship.
Those persons entering into a reciprocal beneficiary relationship
must register their relationship as reciprocal beneficiaries with
the Department of Health."
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. Our vows are not specifically
denominational or religious.
Please review spiritual
vows. It takes 15 minutes for a ceremony, and up to 45 minutes
for a photo and video session.
3.
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!
4. 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 an arrangement
fee). Exclusive packages may require a higher cancellation fee.
5. 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.

Conditions:
