Weddings & Honeymoons

With our balmy climate, enchanting scenery and lingering scent of tropical lei, romance is always in the air in Hawaiʻi. Picture yourself renewing your vows overlooking Waikīkī Beach, as surfers ride the waves in the distance. Or let the rugged beauty of Molokaʻi carry you and your beloved away to a simpler time. On the sunny coast of Wailea on Maui, oceanfront receptions sparkle in the evening light. Whatever you envision for your perfect day, be sure to seal your love by saying "I love you" the Hawaiian way: aloha au iʻa ʻoe.

Marriage Licenses
There are no state residence or U.S. citizenship requirements to marry in Hawaiʻi. Before you can marry, an agent for the state must issue your marriage license. The couple must be present when the license is issued and both must be at least 18 years old. There is no waiting period, and no blood tests or shots are required. The license is good for 30 days and the fee is $65. The birthplace, names of parents and final divorce decree information (if applicable) will be required on the license application.
