In Hawaii a wedding ceremony may be held
at any state or county beach or park for free.
For example, if you'd like an outdoor cermony,
you may have your wedding ceremony held at any state or county beach
or park for free, but remember that the general public will also be
sharing your location as well. In Hawaii there many such scenic and
romantic spots to consider. For example, on Oahu, there's Waikiki's
Kapiolani Park which has great sunsets. At this park you can have
Diamond Head as the background for one wedding picture, and then have
Waikiki Beach in the background of another.

Whatever size wedding you're planning, there
are professional
planners and coordinators to help in Hawaii
Whether your wedding in Hawaii is going to be a
large formal indoor affair or an informal outdoor ceremony, there's a
lot of help in Hawaii when it comes to planning and coordinating this
special day, if you decide not to handle all the wedding planning yourself.
In Hawaii, many wedding planners and
coordinators are marriage license agents as well. Thus they can
handle many of the wedding legalities for you. They can also arrange
other wedding details for you, from finding an official or pastor to
conduct the ceremony -- to setting the ceremony's decor. Wedding
planners/coordinators may charge $500 and higher depending on the
involvement you desire of them and the type of wedding you have in mind.
On the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau's
website, there is a complete roster of reputable wedding planners
(whatever your wedding budget) endorsed by the Bureau. This website
is -- www.gohawaii.com
Once on the Bureau's website, follow the link
entitled "Weddings & Honeymoons".
Almost all the big resorts in Hawaii also have
full-time wedding coordinators on staff, who can also take care of
your wedding details. Also, it should be noted that even the less
costly hotels and condos, and even some Bed & Breakfasts, are
able to recommend wedding coordinators and planners who've proven
themselves to them. Feel free to inquire.
