About Rain
Hawaii is a great place to get married and one reason is that the weather is so good and stable all year round compared to most other place in the world. But yes, we do have our bad days.
As it works out for most of our weddings, with a little patience or a location change, we will be able to perform your wedding and actually get some unique photography. The rain just blows through in a couple of minutes and we're ready to go.
Simply, we do weddings at public beach locations for the nominal fee of a DNLR beach wedding permit. If you're worried about rain, unless you pay for a back-up location (at a hotel) or a private location which provides for an alternate indoor location or you have a hotel or reception room to use, there's not much we or you can do except for what we list below. The only way to truly "plan" for rain is to use a paid site.
FYI: We really don't think too much about rain until an hour or two before the wedding and we don't pay too much attention to weather forecasts as they are almost always incorrect except for the most obvious weather patterns.
NOTE: This is a good reason to use our transportation as a location change is a simply phone call to your chauffeur.
Here’s what we can do... at our sole discretion:
-
We'll wait as long as we can to wait for the rain to pass and it usually does. Our vendors will stay at no extra time charge if they are available and don't have to leave to another wedding. Services not dependent upon the weather will require a extra time charge i.e. limousine.
-
We'll try to divert you to the nearest location that has the best weather i.e. less or no rain. Vendor travel fees will apply for locations outside of Honolulu/Waikiki. No vendor travel fees previously paid will be returned for a Honolulu/Waikiki location.
-
We will try to reschedule for another day and time based solely upon our vendors availability. If we reschedule and it's raining too, we're going to have to use your hotel room or other covered area available to you, paid or otherwise.
If none of these option are appealing to you or available from us, we will perform your wedding the best we can as scheduled.
IMPORTANT:
- Heavy clouds, overcast, and/or intermittent showers are not a reason for us to reschedule a wedding. Any reschedule will be at a time and place to fit our vendors schedules.
-
There may be additional vendor charges for time and travel for locations outside of Honolulu/Waikiki and any travel fee previously paid will not be returned for locations in Honolulu/Waikiki.
-
Transportation and other services not dependent upon the weather normally will require the equivalent of another service charge if you choose to use the service for a rescheduled day.
-
There will be no replacements for any perishables and related products ordered for your wedding day i.e. cake, bouquet, flowers, lei, toast, any , etc.. nor will services be re-done by vendors not affected by the weather without additional payment up to the full amount of that service cost i.e. transportation, hair and make-up, chair or arch or other set-ups, or reception services

If it rains enough on a rescheduled day, we're going to use
