wedding in hawaii

Hi,

We are coming to Waikiki from December 6 - 17th and want to get married on December 14th.

Our parents (60-80yrs old) will be the only attendees as this is a 2nd wedding for us. We are all staying at the Pacific Monarch.... but want to small informal beach wedding and need you help etc.

I don't know if we should try & get a hotel for one night for the Beach Wedding... we won't be having a reception. ?? Would this make sense or is there limo or ?? to pick us up at the Pacific ??? Which beach ??? We really don't know much...

We would like to have a dinner on the beach for just the two of us after.

No cake, some flowers but modest

Pictures -- very important -- like the black & white...but some of the color ones are extraordinary on your site.

I have a simple but long ivory dress... Jon will be most likely be quite casual... linen maybe dressy shorts etc.

We aren't sure what time of day is best re: heat and photographs....


About us.... I am 42 years old & Jon is 54. We are very active and we are running the Marathon on the 10th of December. We like things simple and classic.... not fussy or cluttered. We travel quite a bit. I am a Realtor and Jon is a retired pilot. We apprecriate any comments and help to make this a great day.

Navy wedding

I found your website off the internet because my fiance and I are interested in a beach wedding. The two of us are interested in "Beach Chapel Arch Packages" package, hopefully sometime December. We're really into the hassle free life style, and neither of us want to actually "plan" a wedding, so we are thinking about a guest list of at most 20 people. (Realistically speaking it's going to be around 10 people.)Our only problem we have is he's with the US Navy. I'm sure you've dealt with a lot of military couples. It's so difficult for them to really know when they can take vacations until perhaps a month before the vacation date. I don't particularly have a preference on the time of the day that we get married, so if you can squeeze us into any time slot it should work (I'll double check with him). We just need to know how soon your reservations fill up, and get an idea of how soon we must find out about his vacation date. Since neither of us have been to Hawaii, if you can give us an idea of what couples usually do to get married in Hawaii, that will be helpful too.(Hotel accommodations, whether they get there a few days early, stay a few days late, a plan/time line would be very helpful)I sure hope to hear from you soon. I forgot I was supposed to look this information up for us. I wonder if it's already too late to ask for December. Thank you for your help. I apologize for the lengthy e-mail. Tracy ChuP.S. Your online form doesn't work for me. Sorry. Also, is Hawaii cold during December?Reference: http://www.alohaislandweddings.com/index3.htm

Wedding at Ihilani

Aloha Paul,

We are looking to have a simple yet memorable sunset beach wedding for just the two of us at the Ihilani resort.
We have been advised to have the ceremony at about 5 so that there is ample time for nice sunset photos by 6 p.m. Agree?
We have chosen Dec 24th as our date.
We will arrive Dec 22 and head straight to the punchbowl office to get our license taken care of.
We have the Ihilani booked for Dec 22, 23, and 24th and were looking to do a sunset ceremony there to keep things simple yet contained.
Would only need to look at some basic needs for the ceremony, flowers, and quality photos to have to take back to our families that will help them re-live the ceremony and surroundings, and chosing the official to take care of us.
Hopefully also convert the photos onto a CD with some additional Hawaii scenery, and set to appropriate music selections.

Pls advise if we can put together a package for Dec 24th at the Ihilani using your services.

Warmest regards,
