Each package is a little different but generally there is a non-refundable deposit paid upfront to hold your date and secure our services.  If you are booking a private venue wedding that deposit is a little larger as it goes directly towards the payment we make to reserve the venue for you.  The deposit goes towards the total package cost and the remainder of the fees are split into 2-3 payments between now and your wedding day.  Your payment plan is outlined in your contract and we accept both check and credit cards.  Payment reminders and payment links will be sent to those who pay by credit card.  

how does the payment for your services work? 

Once the contract is signed and deposit received, we begin planning right away.  You will get a personal Best Day Ever planner who will be your single point of contact for the entire planning process.  She will help you to book all vendors and will be available to you 24/7 to answer any wedding related question.  You'll also get invited to a special Best Day Ever Insider Guide Website which will go over the planning process, guide you through design options and give you lots of ideas on everything from florals to the best places on the island to eat.  Your planner will guide you through the months leading up to the wedding day and make sure every detail is handled.  On your wedding day we are on site to handle and oversee everything.  You just need to show up!

What can we expect to happen once we book you?

We offer two public venue ceremony options - The Hawaii Beach Wedding (public beach) and The Hawaiian Botanical Garden Wedding.  Although wedding permits are required both are open to the public, which means that there will be other people around.  The pricing for these packages is going to be less expensive for this reason.  With these two locations we always suggest the least crowded times and will help you with figuring out the timing of the ceremony based on your specific vision.  Every other package that we offer are at Private Venues (meaning - we pay a venue fee, and you get the space all to yourself). The venue fees are included in the package price.  Which option you choose is based around your personal preferences.  Some couples prefer total privacy, others don't care.  If you'd like to add in chairs or a floral altar - these are only available at Private venues (aka. they are NOT available with our Simple Beach package or our Botanical Garden package).

what's the difference between a public and private venue? 

Every month in Hawaii is beautiful, with temperatures in the low 80's and tropical light sea breezes to keep cool.  It isn't usually very humid or rainy here but we do have the occasional rain storm that passes through.  The more rainy months are December - March, but 90% of the time these months are sunny.  Usually light rains will pass within 10 minutes and planning around rainy months really isn't necessary.

what is the best month to get married in hawaii?

Yes, absolutely.  We help you to arrange and book all of this.  We'll help you to sort out the timing of everything will be and will outline the details you need to be aware of before reaching out to our vendors on your behalf to get you quotes. We get discounted rates and we'll pass that savings directly to you.  We will set everything up for you so that it's super easy and you get the best possible pricing.  We also have recently added in drone options for videography which can be so much fun! Just let us know if you want to add these things in when we get to this part of planning. 

CAN WE ADD IN TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR GUESTS & videography?

Unfortunately no, right now we are focused in on couples who are looking for smaller more intimate weddings that include a custom ceremony and a more relaxed dinner reception (at a nice restaurant or luau instead of renting a private venue). 

Our weddings offer couples a chance to save 2/3 of the wedding cost (or $10-$40k) by opting not to do a full custom reception, but they're not for everyone.  If a private dinner reception with speeches, a bouquet and garter toss, formal cake cutting and custom dinner is your wedding vision, we are probably not the best fit for you. 

we want to have a larger wedding and a full reception can you help?

We don't help you to book hotels or travel but will give you custom advice and suggestions on the best places to stay (for different budgets and experiences), ideas on things to do while in Hawaii (hiking, places to eat, things to do), and suggestions on travel deals, upon request. 

When you book with us you'll get a personal planner available to you 24/7 who can answer any wedding or Hawaii related questions you may have. 

Do you help with travel or hotel bookings?

Our all inclusive Hawaii wedding packages are set up to include everything you need for a beautiful, intimate Hawaii wedding ceremony. So you can start there to get an idea of budget, this price goes up if you decide to add on things like hair and makeup, videography, custom florals, etc.  We give you very detailed options throughout the planning process and get you discounted rates with vendors (florists, videographers, etc.).  You make the final decisions on what you want to add-on.  If you want a customized budget breakdown before booking we're happy to do that too, just let us know your vision and request a sample custom budget when you fill out our contact form.
