WAIKIKI WEDDINGS


Hawaii offers some of the most beautiful and romantic venues for hosting your wedding. Imagine white sand beaches with a tropical breeze cooling off a perfect sunset. Or a wedding ceremony set against the backdrop of lush tropical gardens and gently cascading waterfalls. Sounds romantic, doesn’t it? Waikiki is a perfect venue for your wedding plans whether they involve a romantic quiet ceremony or a multi-day celebration for many friends and family!

There truly is not a "typical" Waikiki wedding, as the options on the island are so diverse. Finding a Waikiki wedding coordinator that you trust and feel comfortable with is one of the keys to a successful wedding in Waikiki. The question to ask yourself when considering a wedding is "what is my dream wedding?” If you can articulate this vision to your Waikiki wedding planner, your chances of it becoming a reality become much better.

The questions you should consider for the wedding are:
· How many guests do you want?
· What kind of venue (waterfall, volcano, white sand beach)?
· Who will officiate?
· What style (formal, semi-formal, Hawaiian casual, totally casual)?
· Do you want to have a reception? Where? What sort of reception?

Once you have decided on these core pieces, shop around for Hawaiian wedding packages. There are many different wedding packages offered by hotels, resorts, and even independent wedding planners. All are customizable and many wedding packages include pieces of authentic Hawaiian culture (e.g. exchanging leis). Beyond the price, look for details like:
· What's included in the package? What costs extra?
· Which parts are customizable?
· Are there associated discounts (like on hotel rooms)?

A normal Waikiki wedding package includes the following:
