Using Outside (Non- AHW) Primary Vendors

All destination beach weddings are normally tightly choreographed events. Our vendors work together as a team to give you the best possible experience, service, and products.

Outside vendors can actually affect the quality of the products and services we provide you. A limousine that arrives late, gets lost, or drives away with the rings because the driver wanted to squeeze in an extra fare, a photographer who takes too long, or a minister who talks too much or who blocks the photographer's shots, or a videographer who blocks the photographers shots, are all problems we wish to avoid. And if this happens, we will not be responsible for any extra fees you may incur or the performance of our services.

With that said, we will allow certain outside vendors at our sole discretion. Even if they are a parent, relative, or a friend, if they are interacting or interfering with our vendors performance or giving any instruction before or while our services are being performed, they will be considered as a vendor (please read your contract terms) i.e. if they are watching as a guest would we don't care, it's when they start holding up our vendors by stopping them to do this or that. Unfortunately, we've had people hold up the completion of our services to do a shot here and there causing our officiate to be late for other scheduled jobs, we don't allow that, sorry. FYI: If you are only using our officiate services, the products and services we can provide will be limited. We'll let you know based upoon your selections.

We charge a flat fee of $50 per outside vendor to be included as a service provided for in our State beach permit for your wedding though we do not include your vendor in our insurance and accept no liability to the State of Hawaii for their actions.



Due to liability reasons, we cannot coordinate or make contact with non-AHW vendors you hire. All correspondence, instructions, and directions must be done directly through you with your vendor.



Our schedule provides for specific times for your event to proceed and be completed. If you are late because of the actions or performance of your non-AHW vendors or if your vendor holds up the completion of our services, normal over-time fees and penalties will apply.



Finally, you are solely responsible to familiarize yourself with and read the DNLR beach wedding permit to make sure you are not hiring or using any services which is not provided for or allowed in the permit. Go here: http://www.ahawaiiwedding.com/hawaii_wedding_faq_permits.html
