Tips for making your Hawaii elopement the Best Day Ever
Planning your dream Hawaii Elopement
Embarking on the journey to plan your dream elopement in Hawaii can be intimidating, but I’m here to give you the guidance you need to make it the Best Day Ever! To ensure your special day is everything you've ever imagined, here are some essential tips for planning an unforgettable elopement in paradise.
Choose Activities You love
Hawaii offers a plethora of activities to make your elopement day truly magical. Consider starting your day with a sunrise hike to a breathtaking viewpoint or a walk along the beach hand in hand with a cup of locally grown coffee. Alternatively, you could embark on a sunset sailing adventure or a scenic helicopter tour to add an extra touch of excitement. Whatever activities you choose, make sure they reflect your shared interests and set the tone for a day filled with joy and connection.
Don't forget to eat
In the midst of the excitement, it's crucial to carve out time for nourishment. Nobody wants to be hangry on their elopement day! Hawaii boasts a diverse culinary scene, and incorporating a special meal into your elopement day is a must. Whether it's a romantic beachside picnic, a gourmet dinner at a local restaurant, or a traditional Hawaiian luau, savoring a delicious meal together will add a delightful and memorable element to your celebration.
Include the people you love
While an elopement is an intimate affair, it doesn't mean you have to exclude your nearest and dearest. Whether you are inviting a small group to share in the joy of your special day or just keeping it just between the two of you, your loved ones can be involved in your special day. For family and friends who are unable to travel to Hawaii, your ceremony can be live-streamed so that they can “attend” from the comfort of their home or you can bring letters from them to read.
Embrace spontaneity
One of the beauties of eloping in Hawaii is the freedom to be spontaneous. Embrace the laid-back island vibe and allow room for unexpected moments. Whether it's dancing barefoot in the sand or stopping for banana bread at a roadside stand, letting go of rigid plans can lead to some of the most magical and authentic experiences.
Allow extra time
In the whirlwind of emotions, it's crucial to create a schedule that allows you to savor every moment. Avoid cramming too many activities into a tight timeframe, and instead, allow for those spontaneous moments and the space to relax. This will give you the opportunity to fully absorb the significance of the day and create lasting memories.
book your dream team
You’ll want to have a team of professionals present that understand and support your vision. Two of the most important professionals you’ll hire for your elopement day are your officiant and your photographer. You want an officiant that gets to know the two of you and can craft a ceremony customized to you. We help match our clients with an officiant that aligns with their personal beliefs and can perform their ceremony in a way that is meaningful to them.
Preserving the memories of your elopement is essential, and hiring an experienced photographer is the best way to ensure every precious moment is captured. This way, you can relive the magic of your elopement through stunning photographs for years to come.
