• Kulaniapia Falls in Hilo

  • 3 hrs + 140 miles = 225 + 105 = $330.00 + 549 = $879.00

  • 4 hrs plus 180 miles = 300 + 135 = $435.00 + 549 = $984.00

​​​​​

**LATE FEE**

Late fees are added to the final payment once the ceremony begins 15 minutes after the scheduled start time. 

You have a 15-minute grace period. Prorated $400 per hour.

The officiant is not obligated to stay if the ceremony is 30 minutes or more later than the agreed-upon start time. They may have prior engagements and obligations. 

​

A courtesy call will waive the first 15-minute late fee. 

The officiant is required to be on location 15 minutes before the ceremony starttime.

The officiant is not compensated at an hourly rate. They will receive full compensation. We have found a couple being late for many reasons, and most of the time it's because they did not plan properly. (photography, hair and makeup, the amount of time it took to get to the location from their location, or had the wrong location information, and they also started to celebrate before the wedding.)​

​

​

**NON-REFUNDABLE RETAINER**

Text Michaela at 808-896-7955, 3 days before the ceremony, to confirm the ceremony start time and location.

Obtaining your marriage license is the responsibility of the couple, not the officiant.
