Q: How do I get a Marriage License?
A: A Perfect Paradise Wedding will make your marriage license appointment for you, once we know your arrival date and where you will be staying on Maui. There is no waiting period in Hawaii, you will just need to provide valid photo ID. We will forward you the link to the application & provide with you with directions to your agent’s location. Please bring your Hawaii Marriage License with you to the wedding ceremony to be signed by your Officiate.
Q: What is the best time of day to have a beach wedding?
A: I love both morning & sunset weddings! Morning weddings are great for brighter, more vivid colors, we recommend starting around 9:00am before it starts to get busy at the beach. For Sunset weddings, depending on the group size, we recommend starting the ceremony 1 to 1.5 hours prior to sunset. The lighting is soft, more orange & pink tones and ending the bridal portraits with a great Maui sunset!
Q: Do we need a beach permit?
A: The State of Hawaii does require a permit which is included in all of our pre-designed wedding packages. State permitting rules allow for a maximum of 30 guests, for larger groups we would be happy to recommend one of our beautiful private venues.
Q: Can we have arches or chairs on the beach for our wedding?
A: All Hawaiian beaches are considered public property and we are not allowed to have any type of structures or objects that might detour others from enjoying the beach. We have several ocean front & ocean view properties for you to consider if having chairs for your guests & an arch is a must!
Q: What happens if it rains?
A: Luckily, this is rarely an issue on Maui, as most beaches are located in the dry zones with very little rain! In the event of rain, we would attempt to move your wedding to a nearby beach, offer suggestions for private and covered options, or if necessary we can attempt to reschedule the wedding day for you.
