Rain to Clear Sky

 

Rainy Day
One day we were trying to shoot photos in the rain at Ala Moana Beach Park.

I could see about a mile away the sky looked blue in Waikiki. Sure enough, we got nice weather just a couple minutes away at Hilton Lagoon!

Hawaii Marriage License Info

 

How to Obtain a Marriage License in Honolulu, Hawaii

Signing Ceremony

To get married in Hawaii, a Marriage License must be received from the Department of Health before the Wedding. No blood tests (or divorce records) are required, only valid photo ID's and $60 cash (or $65 online payment).*

*ImportantIf you are under 19 years old, please bring your Birth Certificate and a Photo ID as proof of legal age to marry. If you have been divorced less than two months, please bring your Divorce decree.

Single persons 18 years of age and above may marry without parental consent. 17 year-olds need one parent's consent, and 16-year olds need both parents' consent.

Wedding packages do not include a Marriage License, which can only be obtained by the Bride & Groom by appearing in person together at the Dept. of Health.

No assistance is necessary to get a Marriage License, just fill out a simple one-page Application form.

Expedite your Marriage License Application and apply online at:

Marriage Application Online
https://marriage.ehawaii.gov


Once you have filled out your online Marriage License Application and $65.00 online payment, just visit the Dept. of Health to pick up your MARRIAGE LICENSE. Bring your ID's with you when you go.

Escorted transportation from Ko Olina to the Honolulu Department of Health is available at Bridal Dream Wedding Company for $90.00, or $149.00 from TURTLE BAY.

If you should lose your Marriage License before the wedding (or forget to apply for one) you will need to apply for a new Marriage License. Be sure to sign the date of the wedding as no earlier than the date you received your Marriage License. Ceremonies held before the date of the Marriage License are not recognized.

Please take note of three important terms and their meanings:
Marriage License Application: A one-page form you must fill out and bring to the Department of Health (or Health Dept. Agent), along with your ID's and $60.00 processing fee (cash only), to receive your Marriage License.
Marriage License: The Dept. of Health will give you a MARRIAGE LICENSE, which you need in order to get married in Hawaii. Bring that with you for the Minister to sign at your Wedding.
Marriage Certificate: The Dept. of Health will mail you your official MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE after they process your Marriage License (signed by the Minister) following your Wedding.

Check out our affordable wedding packages including the Wedding Officiant, Photographer, and other optional wedding services.

Windward Oahu Beaches Off Limits

Honolulu City Council has restricted beach weddings at Makapuu Beach, Waimanalo, Lanikai, and Kailua Beach Park. Those beaches are some of the most beautiful on Oahu.

We still perform weddings at the scenic Kahala Beach, Diamond Head Beach, Waikiki Beach, Magic Island, Ko Olina, and North Shore.

 

Commercial Activities
Commercial Activity ban in East Oahu

"Bill 38, introduced by Honolulu City Council member Esther Kia‘āina and passed by the Council last month, prohibits most commercial activities along shoreline areas from Waimanalo to Makapuu. Commercial activities, as defined in the bill, include wedding photography and recreational stops by commercial tour companies."
