Hawaii Marriage License | Oahu Island Weddings Guide

Everything you'll Need to Know to
Get Married in Hawaii.

Legalities

The sunny state of Hawaii truly is a romantic oasis and the perfect location for a bride and groom to begin their forever love story. With stunning ocean shorelines and captivating mountain landscapes Hawaii has much to offer. Whether you're a visitor or local to the islands, we’re here to make your special day in paradise unforgettable!

Permits

The D.L.N.R. (Department of Land & Natural Resources) requires beach use permits for all weddings performed on Hawaiian beaches. All such permits must be applied for and obtained for a specific date and time, and the event must not exceed 2 hours per permit. Only a Wedding Officiant licensed in the State of Hawaii is able to apply. The State also requires adequate insurance coverage of all vendors.

Don't worry we've got you covered! Oahu Island Weddings (your Wedding Officiant representative) will handle applying for and obtaining the permit on behalf of your group and providing proper insurance coverage for your Wedding Day.
