Hi....and Oaho planned elopment help

Hello! I am not new to the knot but new to this board. My fiance and I were planning a big wedding, but called it off and have decided to do a planned elopment instead. We are getting married on Oahu where we fell in love.

It will just be the two of us and my two boys. We are staying at the Moana Surfrider and now need to plan the ceremony. We don't have a lot of time.

I have been looking through some of your bios and they are very helpful, but I haven't seen a lot of ceremony only weddings. I am looking for something beautiful, classy but affordable. I would love to get married in front of the Surfrider, but it is out of our price range.

Can anyone recommend a ceremony package - officiant, flowers, music and photography that they used and loved?

I would also love recommendations for beach locations that are beautiful and not crowded.

TIA!

    Hi!  Welcome :)  I too am planning a ceremony only wedding.  We are getting married at Turtle Bay Resort out on Stables Beach - it will be my fiance Matt, my son Anthony and his good friends Roger, Chey, and their two kids so far - it is not going to be big at all!  Our ceremony is out on the beach, we will then watch the sunset, eat some appetizers and drink champagne, then go into the resort for dinner.  Very intimate and small.  Let me know if you want to chat!!!!

    We got married on the beach in Maui and did just the ceremony and then went to dinner with our parents at Gannon's afterwards. It was delicious!!

    We used maui'd forever as our coordinator. They do coordinating on all of the islands. We got the officiant, leis, my bouquet, hair and makeup, and a few other things for a very affordable price. The only thing we did not get from the coordinator was our photographer. We flew her in from MD.

    Lanikai is a beautiful beach on the windward side. We did photos there, it was mid day on a satutday and crowded. Im sure mornings & weekdays are better. Paradise cove on the leeward side has package deals. Ko'olina area is beautiful i hear as well. Kahu bruce was our officiant & i highly recommend him!

    We're at the Outrigger Reef.  I know they have a ceremony only package, and I know they do beach ceremonies or Voyager deck ceremonies (at the hotel), so you can alwyas check them out

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I have been looking into all of them. So far I like Hawaiian Eye Weddings. Their packages seems to include the most for less.  I am checking with them on availablity and then will need to find a location.
