Questions to ask before you sign
- What is the total for our date and guest count, with tax and service charge?
- Is there a food and drink minimum or a room-night minimum?
- May we bring our own photographer, videographer and officiant, and is there a fee for that?
- What is the plan if it rains or the surf is high?
- What time must music end?
Planning something small?
If you are eloping or renewing vows with a handful of guests, a public beach with a state permit can cost far less than a venue. See Big Island beach ceremony sites and their permit rules and how to elope in Hawaiʻi.
