Getting married in Hawaii is a dream come true for many couples. Gentle breezes, beautiful sunshine and the Aloha spirit all welcome you and give you an incredible day.

It is really easy to have a legal Hawaii marriage.

• There is usually no wait for your license and each Hawaiian island has an office that you can apply for your marriage license.
• There are no blood tests required, no witnesses are needed for the ceremony and you can receive your license the same day that you apply.
• Most countries around the world will accept a Hawaiian wedding as a legally binding marriage.

With that being said, there are a few things to keep in mind when you are getting married in Hawaii.

• Try to go to your wedding site the day before your wedding. This will give you an opportunity to make sure you can find it easily, give directions to guests and to find parking.
• If you are having a sunset wedding, be sure to book an officiant and photographer well in advance. Sunset weddings are the most popular time of day and it may be difficult to find someone at the last minute.
• Beach weddings are very popular. There aren’t any private beaches and they can be very busy. If you are doing your photos at the beach, be sure to let your photographer know. They may have some suggestions.
• Any time of year is beautiful for a Hawaii wedding. The summer months can be very hot and sticky, though. Be sure to keep this in mind when you are planning your dress, hair, makeup and cake. (Yep, the frosting can melt.)

Getting married in Hawaii offers an incredible and unique experience. With a little planning you will have a smooth and beautiful day.
