Wedding Questions often asked

Hi, I'm writing to inquire about a wedding that we are planning for in Oahu. We are currently wanting to have a wedding and need coordinators to assist with our local planning efforts and are interested in hearing more from you. To start, we have provided some background on the type of wedding we would like, and have some initial questions that we're hoping you can provide guidance on.

The wedding plan
- a beach/barefoot wedding, casual and informal?
Answer: beach wedding can be both casual and formal, usually if you will have a formal wedding we recommend towards sunset time for it can be hot for the groom and groomsmen in their full tuxedos on the beach
- Hawaiian style (ie - local customs/ceremony, etc.)
Leis, conch shell hawaiian prayers, pouring of sand tiki torches and lots of colorful flowers.
- is it quiet or private in Waikiki ,location with easy access to Waikiki (where the guests will be staying)
no waikiki is a busy busy location it is not quite
- What date do you recommend.
We recommend weekdays for they are less crowed on the beach.
- # of guests allowed. we only coordinate weddings up to 40 people.

General wedding questions:
1. would like some guidance as to how many people is suggested for a beach wedding (we assume location may influence the # of people who can attend, as well as budget), but any guidance you have will be helpful given the beach location. please go to www.alohaislandweddings.com for more info on thsi
2. the post-ceremony reception... is it possible to have a luau-type of reception right on the beach after the ceremony, or better to find a restaurant or hotel? there are a few wonderful luau locations on the island of Oahu
