Wedding planning links and resources, all on one page!
Planning a destination wedding to Kauai? You will most likely do a lot of research online. If you are planning a wedding without an event coordinator, here are some helpful links.
Marriage License
It’s easy to apply for your marriage license in Hawaii. The marriage license application is online and can be submitted anytime before your wedding. Here is the Application for a Hawaii Marriage License of Civil Union License.
After applying for your marriage license, you will want to make an appointment with a Marriage License Agent in Hawaii, but not more than 30 days before your wedding. (Once issued, the marriage license is only valid for 30 days.) So, you can apply anytime, but don’t make your appointment to get it issued more than 30 days in advance of your wedding. Once you have your marriage license in hand, it expires after 30 days.
I can give you a more complete list of marriage license agents, with their location, phone number, and email when you contact me, so you can choose an agent closest to where you are staying on Kauai.
Be prepared by filling in your marriage license application fully in advance, before making an appointment with a licensing agent. Bring your Locator ID number with you, along with your photo ID for both of you, and cash for those marriage license agents who charge a service fee. Please be on time for your appointment! The agent (and the wedding couple with the time slot after you) will appreciate your preparedness.
Wedding Coordinators
If you are overwhelmed by “do it yourself” planning, don’t stress! Relax and hire a wedding planner! Here are some wedding coordinators I enjoy working with and can whole-heartedly recommend:

Photographers
Here are some of the photographers and videographers I often work with and can highly recommend. They are in no particular order. I don’t have favorites, I love them all! But each photographer has their own style and set of talents. Some are more in tune with one part of the island or another. I suggest viewing the portfolio of each photographer, to determine which has the style and pricing you are seeking.
Have your own photographer? Great! But please be sure they are aware of what locations are permitted and which are off-limits. The photographers below respect the laws here on Kauai.
