Everybody knows that Hawaii is expensive, but there are wedding packages for kind of wedding in every price range. One of the least expensive packages is your basic beach wedding that can be had for as little as $395.
And you thought it was going to cost more I'm sure.
This basic wedding package includes a priest, processing of your marriage license, photos by a professional photographer burned onto a CD, two fresh orchid leis, and a wedding planner-coordinator at your wedding to hold your hand.
You can choose any park or beach to hold your traditional Hawaiian wedding ceremony. But parks require that you get a permit in advance. Your Hawaii wedding planner can help you with this and apply for your permit for you.
Of course, you can embellish your wedding with numerous add-ons, and I recommend that you do. You will certainly want to get a bouquet for the bride, a wedding cake, a limousine, and chairs for any guests you invite. These amenities can all be had for less than you think.
You may also choose to have a palm arch wrapped in flowers and ferns, and some tiki torches, or a carpet of rose pedals leading to your chapel in the sand. My wife and I chose to have a harpist during our ceremony, a white stretch limousine to take us to our wedding, a rose pedal shower after we were married, and many more embellishments.
The more amenities you add to your Hawaii wedding ceremony the more spectacular your wedding, and the higher your bill, obviously.
Even the things leading up to your wedding are will increase your overall expense to get married in Hawaii. Don't forget to budget for air fare, hotel, hair and make-up for the bride, a wedding dress and tux, rings, invitations. The list goes on.
But it's still very affordable to have your destination wedding in Hawaii. There are wedding packages available for couples getting married offered at most hotels that you can also take advantage of. Packages that include champagne, a car, buffet breakfast, and so forth which you can get as part of your hotel package.
To give you a better idea of what your Hawaii wedding package will cost, strictly speaking, I will give you the actual numbers of what my wedding ceremony cost in my Free Hawaii Wedding Report which is available for immediate download.

Hawaii Weddings
I have been writing a lot about Hawaii Weddings, how to plan one and so forth, because I live in Hawaii and I'm a professional writer. I'm futher qualified to write about this topic because I not only got married in Hawaii, but I live here! Right in Waikiki! and I do a lot of research.
If you are planning a wedding in Hawaii, I can give you lots of good tips how to make it a success, how to get more bang from your buck, and how to have less hassles and a better experience once you arrive in paradise.
Before going any further, you really must get a copy of my Free Wedding Report, which is written especially for people planning a Hawaii wedding on a budget. The name of the report is "How We Had A Spectacular Wedding In Hawaii For Less Than $5,000!" and you can get it at http://www.HawaiiWeddingReport.com
Here are a few quick Tips about getting married in Hawaii.
Hawaii weddings don't have to be expensive, but Hawaii is pricey. It's not unlike the prices in Paris, Tokyo, or London. So any way you can keep expenses down will enable you to stay longer in paradise as well as keep your budget in check. One good way to do this is to get a package deal that includes breakfast and a car with your hotel package.
I emphasize: Get your lodging with the buffet breakfast included. That's one less bill to think about and you can eat like kings in the morning, go easy on lunch, and then spend more for dinner. To keep your dinner prices down in Hawaii, dine before 6:00 p.m. and many places will give you a 2 for 1 deal, or 50% off your second dinner.
Here's another good tip and something I wish I had done. When you're in the limousine on your way to your wedding, have the driver take you to a dreamy spot, get out of the limo, and have a friend or professional do a quick photo shoot of the bride and groom. You pay the same price for your limousine whether it stops for a photo shoot or not, so why not snap some memorable pre-wedding photographs.
Planning your wedding in Hawaii is easy with a wedding planner. There isn't room in this short article to explain, but take my word for it, you must get yourself a Hawaiian wedding planner to help you with all the wedding arrangements. Unless you live in Hawaii, you will need the help of a professional. My wife and I got one, and it truly saved us money and lots of hassles.
Finally, hind sight really is 20/20. Find other people who have gotten married in Hawaii and talk to them. Also use the internet to locate some Hawaii wedding planners online, and then call them! And be sure to download my free report.

Wedding Planning
Proper wedding planning and preparation will save you a bundle of money and eliminate most of your worries, fears, and frustrations. If you're planning a destination wedding, then you must also seek the help of a wedding planner.
My wife and I got married in Hawaii and stayed three nights at a five star hotel, had a fabulous ceremony, which included all the trimmings such as a limousine, cake, flowers, photography, reception dinner for fifteen, and more, all for under $5,000!
Many people we tell just can't believe it, but it's true! A Hawaii wedding planned properly with the assistance and expertise of a Hawaii wedding planner does not have to cost you an arm and a leg. Your Hawaii wedding planner will actually save you lots of money by virtue of knowing all the vendors on the island.
Deciding when and where to have your wedding are your first considerations. You must nail down these two things first before you can really move forward with a wedding planner, before you can send invitations, before you can book a hotel, before you can do any real wedding planning.
There are numerous reasons for choosing to have your wedding in Hawaii. First of all, it is paradise don't forget. Second, you can count on the weather, beautiful blue skies, a crystal clear ocean, and warm, balmy temperatures. Third, there are many exciting and romantic things to do in Hawaii.
Whether you're into beautiful beaches, shopping, golf, dancing, live entertainment, surfing, extreme sports, hiking, waterfalls, scuba diving, snorkeling, restaurant hoping, or loafing, it can be found in abundance either in Waikiki or somewhere on the island of Oahu.
My wife and I decided to have our wedding on the island of Oahu and to stay in Waikiki because there were so many hotel options and so many things to do, and because it would be better for our guests too. They would be sure to be able to get a flight, and they would be sure to be able to book a hotel in their price range. When deciding on an island, Oahu it turns out has more of everthing.
Most of the island of Oahu is peaceful, unpopulated, untouched, beautiful and, of course, tropical! Many people are misled to believe that the other islands are prettier. But did you know that the number one most beautiful beach on many top ten lists is Kailua Beach located on the island of Oahu?
As for "when" to get married, just about any time is a good time in Hawaii. But there is a rainy season between November and April. When it does rain, however, it's usually not for more than a few minutes, or at worst, a few hours.
With that said, I live in Hawaii, and I would recommend not getting married during the rainy season. Most people get married in May, July, and August here. Personally, my wife and I chose to get married at the end of July. That worked out well for us.
It's hot during the summer, but if you get married in the afternoon, say around 3:00 p.m., it's a little cooler; and then you can have your wedding reception at an outdoor location or patio restaurant around 5:30 with a gorgeous sunset, guaranteed.
A Hawaii wedding can be very romantic if you choose the right place and the right time. There is a long list of places "where" you can get married on Oahu. From churches to chapels, to parks and gardens, as well as almost any beach.
Your wedding planner can help you choose a place to get married, as well as eliminate much of the hassles and headaches of planning your special day by taking care of all the details for you.
A good wedding planner will book your limousine, get your cake made, set up your chapel and make arrangements with a priest, get you musicians, hook the bride up to a hair stylist and make-up artist, and will also be there on your wedding day to guide you and hold your hand.
