The Hawaiian Islands are popular for destination weddings with many couples dreaming of romantic ceremonies on pristine beaches. Planning a Hawaii wedding from a distance can be difficult, frustrating, and risky. There is no way to visit beaches, know which local musicians and photographers to hire, or be sure all the details are coordinated for the big day. Experienced companies that specialize in planning beach weddings offer Hawaii wedding packages that include traditional components and customized extras that make the day stress-free and affordable.
Packages are offered to suit preferences, personalities, and perceptions of the bride and groom. The Barefoot Beach package, for example, is perfect for the care-free couple who want the ceremony to be both fun and memorable. The Hawaiian-style ceremony includes conch shell blowing, leis, and live music. The officiant, a small bouquet, and one-hour of professional photography are also included in the affordable pricing. One-hundred and seventy-five copyright-free images round out the package.
The Chapel in Sand package is offered in two versions. The Simply Elegant version includes a choice of three Hawaii wedding arches, a two-color flower pathway, four tiki torches decorated with fresh flowers, and eight chairs with sashes and flowers. The Five Star version also includes a limousine, a deluxe video, a musician, luxurious flower amenities, and three-hours of photography. The Hawaii Sacred wedding option is filled with traditional chants, blowing of conch shells, and a processional serenade with a ukulele. The bride receives a tropical bouquet while the groom has a warrior’s leis called a Maile.
All packages include coordination of the officiant, music, transportation, flowers, photos, and the required paperwork for the ceremony. Planners are also available to coordinate any additions to packages. Couples can add available extras to any package to make the wedding experience exciting.
Hula dancers, fire dancers, heart shapes made of fresh flowers on the beach, and a dove release are some examples of extras. A wedding video, a cake decorated in flowers, and a limousine can be added as well. Brides who wish to have hair and make-up done professionally right before the ceremony can also add that service.
Since destination weddings and vow renewals tend to be small and intimate affairs, pricing reflects that with three tiers for each package. The first price option is for a ceremony that involves just the couple. The second includes up to ten guests, while the top level of pricing is for up to twenty guests. A wide variety of packages and extras means a beach destination wedding is more affordable than couples anticipate. Discover all the options and select the one that will make the big day a dream wedding.
