There are few places more synonymous with “destination wedding” than Hawaii with its beautiful beaches, tropical environment, and exciting culture. However, planning your big day from afar introduces new challenges, so use these tips to make it go smoothly.

3 Planning Tips for a Hawaii Wedding 

1. Consider the Weather 

Because Hawaii is a tropical island chain, it gets a lot of rain from November to April. But most showers are short-lived, and the weather is usually temperate even with the rains.

Still, you may want to plan your wedding during the summer or on the cusp of the wet season to bypass tourists. If the possibility of sudden showers makes you nervous, look into indoor venues. 

2. Hire a Local Wedding Consultant

Fortunately, a local consultant or wedding planner will not only help you find the perfect venue but also give you tips on how to incorporate local flavors into your wedding. They’ll also likely know of discounts, deals, and secret locations. Many consultants offer all-encompassing packages for planning to handle everything for you.

3. Keep Your Guests in Mind 

Destination weddings are expensive, so your guest list will likely only contain close family members and friends. Give your guests a heads-up a year or more in advance so they can save for plane tickets and hotel rooms as well as plan to accommodate your big day in their schedules.
