Everything you need to plan a Hawaii wedding.

• 12-month Hawaii planning timeline

  Month-by-month task list calibrated to Hawaii lead times — when to book vendors before they're gone, when to apply for the marriage license without it expiring, when DLNR permits open.

• Real-numbers budget calculator

  Editable spreadsheet with the actual 2026 Hawaii price ranges by category, by island, by guest count. Drop in your guest count + island and get a defensible budget.

• Marriage license walkthrough

  Hawaii DOH portal, $65 fee, 30-day validity. Step-by-step with the exact links + what to bring + the 6 gotchas that cause same-day re-filings.

• DLNR + county beach permit guide

  Which beach belongs to which authority. Application links, current fees, lead times, group-size caps, and the unwritten rules (no chairs on sand, no rice toss, no amplified music).

• Vendor vetting checklist

  10 questions to ask every vendor before signing. Especially the 3 questions that flush out mainland aggregators pretending to be Hawaii-local.

• Sample contract language

  Force-majeure clause (post-COVID, post-2023-Lahaina-fires), weather backup terms, deposit + cancellation schedules, COI requirements. Drop into any vendor contract.

• Off-island guest logistics

  Hotel block negotiation, inter-island flight timing, transportation between resorts and ceremony sites, guest welcome bag essentials that aren't tourist-trap junk.

• Lifetime updates

  DOH fees change. DLNR permit costs change. When they do, the toolkit updates and you keep access — no resubscription.
