| FREQUENTLY 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.

packages?
