All beaches in Hawai‘i are public and are available to everyone to use and enjoy equally on a first-come, first-served basis. Beach weddings require a permit which can be arranged by your wedding planner for a small fee. This also applies to state and county beach parks, plus all other state and county public lands. You may discover beachgoers, or another wedding party, already using a location that you have your heart set on, so please 8

Marriage License Palapala male
photographers hawaii
Hawaiian Island weddings, inc.
To obtain a marriage license, an application must be filed with a marriage license agent in the State of Hawai‘i. There are no residence or citizenship requirements, and blood tests or rubella shots are not required. The legal age to marry is 18 years old. Persons under 18 must contact the Hawai‘i Department of Health for special instructions. The prospective bride and groom must appear together in person at an office of a marriage license agent. The $65 license fee must be paid in cash. Proof of age must be provided as follows: anyone 18 and under must present a certified copy of their birth certificate, while persons 19 and over must present a valid driver’s license, passport or official identity card. The marriage license is good for 30 days, including the date of its issuance. The license may be used only in the State of Hawai‘i and is valid on all islands. Your appointment to obtain a license should be scheduled directly with a licensing agent, or your coordinator will usually make the appointment for you. Licensing agent offices are located in all parts of Maui County, which includes the islands of Moloka‘i and Lana‘i. For the agent office nearest where you will be staying, please contact the local office of the

Department of Health at one of the numbers below or visit its Web site at www.hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/ marriage/index.html Phone numbers: Maui – (808) 984-8210, Lana‘i – (808) 565-6411 Moloka‘i – (808) 553-3663. The central marriage license office is located on O‘ahu at the Department of Health, Kîna‘u Hale, 1250 Punchbowl Street, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96813. Recorded information is provided by phone, (808) 586-4545. The office will send a marriage license application packet to interested parties from out of state. The Department of Health must license the person performing the marriage. Upon completion of the ceremony, the officiant sends the marriage license directly to the local Department of Health registrar. The certified copy of the marriage certificate is mailed to the married couple approximately 120 days after receipt from the officiant. If the certified copy is needed sooner, the marriage license agent will provide a request form, which can be mailed to the Vital Records division of the Department of Health along with a $10 money order.
Civil Unions In Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed Senate Bill 232 into law on February 23, 2011, which makes civil unions in Hawaii legal effective January 1, 2012. The act makes same-sex and opposite-sex couples eligible for civil unions. According to Act 1 of the law, couples interested in entering into a civil union must fill out an application and see an agent licensed by the state Department of Health. A licensed civil union officiate must perform the ceremony and submit the paperwork to the Department of Health. Couples are advised to verify that the female or male officiate who will be performing their civil union ceremony is licensed. A civil union ceremony can be booked with ministers or coordinators, who have a variety of packages available. Please check with our MWA professionals for those that support or book civil union packages or ceremonies. 12

Maui has a number of qualified, prepared and experienced coordinators, who either work on their own, for independent wedding companies, or for hotels and resorts. Wedding coordinators also may coordinate receptions, and some handle travel arrangements. Coordinator prices and fees vary, so ask for estimates that include all costs. Don’t forget to have your wedding coordinator put everything in writing and check if they are affiliated with the Better Business Bureau.

coordinator for a small fee. Large ceremonies and receptions are usually held on private land due to parking and other necessities. If you want your ceremony or reception at a hotel, resort or private estate, you will be asked to pay a site use fee. When selecting a site, keep in mind the size of your event, where you will be staying before and after your wedding ceremony, the time and physical distance between the ceremony and reception locations, and your transportation and parking requirements.
Catering
Ho’omäukaukau mea ‘ai
Tad craig photography
Maui offers a wide variety of catering styles, from a romantic sunset dinner for two overlooking the beach to an elegant reception for hundreds of guests, complete with fanciful ice sculptures. Reception catering is available on yachts, hotel grounds, at fine dining restaurants and oceanfront under the stars. The Pacific Ocean is bountiful in its offerings of fresh fish, such as ono, mahimahi, ‘øpakapaka, moi and ‘ahi. Maui also has grassfed, island beef. Local pineapple, mango, coconut, guava, taro, macadamia nuts and Maui onions are just some of the flavorful ingredients that give menus regional flair. When looking for a caterer, interview many different prospects and check for references. Many reception sites have their own catering services, so you may want to keep that in mind when searching for a location. Also check to see what other services the caterer offers. Some will decorate, stage, serve and also provide a wedding cake. Catering most often is a large part of the reception budget, so ask about additional fees, overtime costs, gratuities and taxes. Whatever you and your guests desire can be created here. Maui has it all.
Cakes On Maui, cakes are often created using island fruit, such as guava, coconut, banana, pineapple and passion fruit. When sampling

wedding cakes, don’t forget to try one of these local favorites. Before visiting the pastry chef, find photos of cakes that you like in magazines or on the Internet. Take these with you to help give the baker an idea of what you’re looking for. Also ask to see pictures of their work. A wide range of cakes are available, from simple cakes for two to an elegant multi-tier fantasy creation. You may even choose to have an ocean themed cake with edible seashells and coral. Cakes can be decorated with real or sugar flowers that match the bride’s bouquet.

Union license information and ceremony. There are many different types of ceremonies available. Some ministers will personalize their ceremonies for you and include special words you might want to say to each other. If you want to personalize your ceremony, it is best to let the minister know right away. Your minister sets the tone and pace for your ceremony. While many couples do experience pre-wedding jitters, once you stand together with your officiant, you can truly relax. They will put you both at ease, lead you gently through the ceremony, and prompt you with what you are to say and do all along the way.

Maui has virtually every type of lodging you can imagine. There are oceanfront private estates, villas, cottages, condominiums and upcountry bed-and-breakfasts. It is easiest to choose your lodging when booking your travel. You should shop around; sometimes you can get a great air, car and room package. Some accommodations also have sites for a wedding ceremony and reception. Major hotels and resorts abound along Mauiís shores. Condos are a good choice if you would like to have a kitchen in your accommodation.

photography Your wedding pictures are priceless; they are among the most vivid reminders of your wedding. Begin searching for your photographer early to ensure their availability. Our membership listings are an excellent way to find your photographer; most of them have Web sites where you can see samples of their work. Another effective way is by word-of-mouth referrals, so ask various wedding vendors. Wedding photography is very demanding and is both an art and a science. It requires a professional with the proper equipment, the right skills and a pleasant personality. In choosing your photographer, think about your personal style and how you want your wedding day to be captured. Do you love the classic look of black and white? Are formal portraits your style? Do you prefer lots of candid shots? Do you want a combination of all of the above? Ask your photographer what style they use. An important issue for you to consider is whether the person whose photographs you are looking at is the one who is going to photograph your wedding. This may be a factor if you’re considering a large studio with many photographers on staff or if a wedding planner is providing a photographer for you.

Ask prospective photographers for clear information on fees, because they can vary considerably, and be sure to ask about refund policies. Some photographers include a CD in their pricing, while others keep the photos and charge for reprints and enlargements. Advances in technology also allow photographers to upload images to an online photo gallery. If you choose this system, you will be able to view your prints online and purchase prints on the Internet.
videography Video captures life’s most precious and beautiful moments — as they happen. Once back home, many couples throw special parties or arrange receptions around showings of their wedding video for friends and family who weren’t able to attend the ceremony. On Maui, a professionally-edited wedding video is usually 20-40 minutes long. There are also some videographers who offer a live feed to the Internet, so your family and friends can share in your joy as it is happening, or for better viewing quality, just a short few hours afterwards. The videographer can attend the ceremony rehearsal to strategize and visualize shots to ensure full coverage of the big day. During this time, suggestions and adjustments can be made to meet your style and taste. The videographer also should work hand in hand with the still photographer to ensure that your wedding day is fully captured as a beautiful memory. If you have decided on a particular videographer, you may want to ask them which photographers they have worked with before. Most videographers offer a variety of services that can be tailored to your wishes. New developments in digital and camera technology have revolutionized the industry. Professional digital video cameras do not necessarily require bulky lighting equipment and wires. Cameras have become much smaller, and couples often are amazed at the clarity and camera angles possible with the newer equipment. A good wedding video will tell the story of your wedding with clarity and emotion. Your treasured Maui wedding video gives you the chance to preserve the story of your special day.

Most brides prefer to have a professional hair and makeup session prior to the ceremony. You may go to a spa, beauty salon or have a hair stylist come right to your room to serve you. Consider having a complete trial makeup and hair session prior to the wedding as a test run — to help you decide how you would like to look on your wedding day. If you plan on wearing a

Your professional stylist will use their experience with Maui’s breezes and lighting to give you good advice, so that you can look your best on your wedding day. Grooms need beauty treatments too, because all eyes will be on both of you during your ceremony. Manicures, pedicures and haircuts can contribute greatly to his confidence and finished look. Spas also offer services especially tailored to male customers to ensure their comfort. Before the ceremony, take precautions to protect your skin from Maui’s tropical sun. Tender skin can burn quickly unless great care is taken. It is best to stay out of the sun before the ceremony, if you can, or at least use sunscreen with the highest protection possible.
When you're Hawaii's premier oceanfront spa, you take advantage of the surroundings. You usher in the sounds of the Pacific. You welcome the fragrant, onshore breezes. In short, you offer the only full-service spa, salon and fitness center where aromatherapy starts the moment you arrive at Spa Moana. Whether rejuvenating yourself with our signature Ka'anapali Coffee Body Polish featuring locally grown ingredients or re-energizing your body at our state-of-the-art fitness center, you'll walk away refreshed and revitalized.

Choosing what you will wear for your wedding is an important part of wedding planning fun. Whether on the beach, in a church or ballroom, Maui weddings may be very formal or casual. The island’s relaxed lifestyle lends to wedding wear in a wide selection of styles, ranging from traditional white wedding gowns and tuxedoes to island wear in bright colors and light fabrics. Maui shops have all the latest designs and fabrics, and the items you see at home also are offered here for sale or rent. If you prefer to make your selections at home, you may want to have your clothing shipped ahead of time for pressing. Before selecting your gown, it can be helpful to look through bridal magazines to find out what the current trends and styles are. Give your bridal consultant as much information as possible about your plans, tastes and what you’re looking for. When choosing a gown, visualize how it will look in the setting you’ve
chosen and keep in mind your comfort and mobility. For instance, if you plan to dance a lot at your reception, consider a gown with no train or a detachable one. A wide variety of choices are available to today’s groom. Contemporary tuxedos are easy to dress up or dress down, and there are new tailored options to allow him to express his own individual style. You may even opt for white dinner jackets, 1950s style. A great looking tuxedo can boost his confidence and will look beautiful with your wedding gown. Formal wear photographs very well and is striking against Maui’s sandy beaches, blue ocean and skies. A popular favorite is to match the color of the cummerbund and bow tie (or necktie or cravat) to the bridesmaids’ dresses. Whatever you choose to wear, make sure it is something you feel comfortable and relaxed in to enjoy your beautiful Maui wedding. www.mauiweddingassociation.com

A grand arrival and elegant departure from your wedding will make your celebration all the more special. A wide variety of transportation choices are available on Maui: helicopters, limousines, stretch SUVs, 25 passenger mini-bus, a horse and carriage or a vintage Rolls Royce. You could even arrive and depart in a canoe! Whatever your needs, make reservations well in advance. Investigate the many different types of transportation and inquire as to all fees and services. Also ask about parking situations at your wedding venue. Many private estates and smaller beaches have limited parking, in which case a transportation service may be advisable for your wedding party and guests. During your stay on Maui, you’ll want to tour and discover the treasures of our island. To see all that Maui offers, we advise you to rent a car. While the island is not large, points of interest are spread out. If you want to take the famous trip to Ha-na or see a sunrise on Haleakala-, you’ll be very glad you arranged for your own transportation.
Sit back and breathe... We’ll get you to the church on time! A white, stretch limousine for you. Sedans, vans and SUV’s for family and special guests. aubrey hord photography

Music is an essential part of the most romantic wedding, along with the natural sounds of the island’s wind and waves. Some of the finest entertainers in the world have made Maui their home. Island talent runs the full gamut of musical styles. In addition to the classics, you have a variety of choices for your wedding celebration: Hawaiian, classical, contemporary, pop, jazz, reggae, rock and roll, big band, swing, ethnic or country. Most musicians 32

offer song lists, so you can select your favorites in advance. Background music throughout the ceremony adds beauty and harmony to the spoken words. If you are planning a romantic dinner or reception afterwards, music is the perfect enhancement to the festivities. You can either continue with the musicians from the ceremony or consider a different group to liven up the celebration. A disc jockey or a live band is great for encouraging guests to dance.

Many of Maui’s talented musicians have recorded professional CDs, a wonderful keepsake to commemorate the evening.

Special Message from Governor Neil Abercrombie Message from the Mayor July 30, 2011
Aloha! It is with regret that I am not able to attend the 16th Annual Maui Wedding Expo for this year. But I want to take this opportunity to address the key people that drive Maui’s tourism industry—you. There is a reason why couples come to Maui to celebrate their wedding day. It is not just because Conde Nast Traveler magazine has rated our islands the #1 tourist destination for the last 16 years. It is not just because we are a wedding photographer’s paradise, with picturesque views of sunsets and swaying palm trees as part of a lovely background. The reason why Maui County offers the best venue for marriage is our aloha, the love that brings two hearts together. It is the same aloha that brings our community together as one. This is the welcoming aloha that we provide to tourists and the same aloha that we hope they share wherever they may go. The County of Maui has a rich and diverse community. I personally have been married to my loving wife Ann for 36 years and counting and wish to share the same essence of aloha to all couples, vendors and guests here at the expo today. Mahalo and have a wonderful day! Sincerely yours,
ALAN M. ARAKAWA Mayor, county of Maui
Presented to
The Maui Wedding Association July 30, 2011
Aloha to all Maui Wedding Association members and the vendors, sponsors, and attendees of the 16th Annual “Maui Wedding Expo.” The Maui Wedding Association is comprised of over one hundred and fifty members. This year’s Maui Wedding Expo at the Westin Maui Resort features Maui’s top wedding professionals. Together with local businesses, the wedding professionals attract millions of dollars annually to our economy. The State of Hawaii welcomes brides, grooms and their families from all over the globe who have decided to get married or renew their vows in paradise. This year, I signed the Civil Unions Bill, which makes Hawaii the seventh State in the Nation to recognize Civil Unions. The legislation provides wedding opportunities for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) couples. It also provides Hawaii the opportunity to raise awareness about the progressiveness, diversity, and Spirit of Aloha that makes our islands a special place for couples to confirm their love for one another. Mahalo to the organizers for hosting another magnificent event. Indeed, it is events such as the Maui Wedding Expo that demonstrates that Maui County is No Ka Oi and one of the premiere destinations for a romantic vacation. I hope the Maui Wedding Expo is a success. Best wishes to you all with future endeavors. With warmest regards,
NEIL ABERCROMBIE Governor, State of Hawaii
