The advantage of having a wedding coordinator is to take the stress of organizing your wedding off your hands. Weddings Hawaii has years of experience and can provide you with tips, ideas, give you advice, keep you organized, schedule meetings and appointments for you, plan and track your budget and ensure a successful wedding. Ultimately you do not need a wedding coordinator but, having one makes life a whole lot easier.

It's simple, We recommend you go online to fill out and pay for your marriage license before coming in for your appointment. When this is done, it takes less than 10 min. to get the license printed for you after we verify the information with your photo ID. We will make your licensing appointment with an agent closest to your accommodations. All you need to do is bring a current picture I.D. and you both have to be present when you meet with your agent.

The weather here on Kauai is mild and comfortable year round. It tends to rain a little bit more during the winter months, however, Kauai weddings are performed year round.

We are checking in with weather forecasts daily. If we know for certain that rain will be heavy throughout the day, we have several options. We can move your location to a drier part of the island, where it may be not raining at all. We can move your wedding to another day, as long as all the vendors involved in your wedding are available. There are several small chapels/churches that can be booked for an additional fee. Or we can have your wedding in the rain with umbrellas.

Weddings Hawaii has been in business since 1998 and we are members of Hawaii Visitors Bureau, Kauai Chamber of Commerce and Kauai Wedding Professionals.
