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.)
EXAMPLE:
-
START TIME BOOKED TO BEGIN AT 5 PM.
-
CEREMONY BEGINS AFTER 5:00 PM BUT BEFORE 5:15 - NO EXTRA FEE
-
DUE TO WHATEVER CIRCUMSTANCES WE BEGIN AT 5:30 PM, $100 WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR FINAL PAYMENT.
-
5:45 PM $200 WILL BE ADDED TO THE FINAL INVOICE.
-
6:00 PM $300 WILL BE ADDED TO THE FINAL INVOICE.
-
30 MINUTES FOLLOWING YOUR BOOKED CEREMONY START TIME, THE OFFICIANT IS NOT OBLIGATED TO STAY TO PERFORM YOUR CEREMONY AND IS FULLY COMPENSATED.
**NON-REFUNDABLE RETAINER**
**Non-Refundable Retainer**: This retainer covers the initial consultation and blocks the date from being booked by others.
**IMPORTANT**
Please be aware that if you are more than half an hour late to the ceremony start time, the Officiant is not obligated to officiate your ceremony. A total of an hour is reserved for your ceremony, which includes a 15-minute call time for preparations, a 15-minute grace period, and a half-hour for the ceremony. Timeliness is essential to ensure everything runs smoothly. You will not receive a refund or credit.
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Is a permit required for my wedding?
Absolutely. You will need a permit for all public beaches. We will help you secure the permit based on your selected locations. The list of current beaches can be found on the State of Hawaii Wiki Permits website.
2. What if it rains on my day?
We love the Island’s weather, which can change rapidly. We typically stick to the scheduled date and time. In the rare event of extended weather issues, we can reschedule your wedding to a different date or location if available.
3. When is the best time for my wedding?
We recommend sunset for the best lighting and sunset experience. Remember, timing varies by location, as the sun rises in East Hawaii and sets in West Hawaii.
4. Are there sunrise fees?
There is a sunrise fee of $200 for locations at Waikoloa and Mauna Lani Beach Resorts. For events within 90 minutes of sunrise. Request a quote for all other locations.
5. Do I have to use the vows provided or can we share our own personal vows?
Use scripted vows or prepare your own personal vows. I actually prefer when couple prepare their own. I step to the side to allow privacy as well photographers have additional photo opportunities.
