This question is probably \u201cthee\u201d most common I\u2019ve received from inquiring brides, and to be quite honest, probably the vaguest as well. \u00a0This question can be interpreted a few different ways.\u00a0 Here are my answers to every single variable that I can think of.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also reworked the question to make it a little clearer.<\/p>\n

When can I find the cheapest airfares?
\n<\/b>You\u2019ll find the cheapest \u201cair\u201d to Hawaii anytime college is \u201cin-session.\u201d\u00a0 So if the kids are in school, now is a good time to leave them and come to Hawaii. \u00a0It\u2019s not that a lot of college kids come to Hawaii to party when school is out.\u00a0 Last time I checked, college kids were broke.\u00a0 Or at least driving their parents broke.\u00a0 It\u2019s just that tons of local kids come back home during their summer, spring, Thanksgiving, and winter break.\u00a0 They take up all the good cheap flights early, and well, that\u2019s why prices can start off pretty high during these times.<\/p>\n

Getting cheap airfares is just a matter of booking early, I would say about 7 to 9 months out. \u00a0If you\u2019re a last-minute traveler, you could possibly take your chances on bidding on a low fare at priceline.com, but it\u2019s not a guarantee that you\u2019ll get it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find the most expensive airfare to Hawaii if you are the last minute traveler, meaning any date that is 2 months or less out, looking to get married in the summer, and traveling on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.<\/p>\n

This brings us to another point.\u00a0 If possible, try to book your travel to leave and return to your home city between Monday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

\"Laura-Flores-Hawaii-Wedding-19<\/a>No cheap things under there.<\/b><\/p>\n

When should I travel to find the cheapest hotel?<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re truly on a budget, I would suggest you try finding a vacation rental on vrbo, or the notorious Air BnB, or anything similar. \u00a0Vacation rentals get even cheaper if more guest stay under one roof.\u00a0 It\u2019s very possible for a party of ten to stay under a roof of a luxury property on Oahu, for a price that is INSANELY cheaper than most five star luxury hotels.\u00a0 Partying up in a multi-million dollar mansion, I would have to say, is very cool.<\/p>\n

If you want to go the hotel route: hotels are cheaper from October to December, from Monday through Thursday, and on non-holidays.\u00a0 Also, hotels that are on Kuhio St in Waikiki are cheaper than those that are on Kalakua Ave.<\/p>\n

What day of the week is the best time to get married?<\/b><\/p>\n

Any day of the week works well FOR ME<\/span>.\u00a0 Many other wedding companies will tell you that it\u2019s best to get married is on the weekday, as the beaches are not as crowded.\u00a0 Well, while my competitors are telling you truth, but the weekday rule only applies to them as they are conducting their weddings at beaches that are already busy; such as Waikiki, Magic Island, or Waialae Beach Park.\u00a0 These locations are busy on the weekday, really busy on the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0 (By the way, personally I feel as those listed beaches, suck)<\/p>\n

Any day works well with me because I head to secluded locations.\u00a0 So the time of the week really doesn\u2019t matter\u2026for my company alone.\u00a0 That\u2019s why I\u2019m special!<\/p>\n

\"Laura-Flores-Hawaii-Wedding-23<\/a>Warning, big waves there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When in Hawaii do you get the best weather?<\/b><\/p>\n

Hawaii truly doesn\u2019t have one climate, but literally thousands of \u201dmicroclimates,\u201d if there is such a word.\u00a0 At any time of the day, somewhere or someplace in Hawaii, it\u2019s raining.\u00a0 And then, right around the corner, 30 miles down the road, it\u2019s sunny as could be. \u00a0\u00a0So the question should not be WHEN in Hawaii do you get the best weather, but WHERE in Hawaii do you get the best weather.\u00a0 And, I\u2019ll answer that now.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for sunshine, blue skies, and a perfect sunset, in my very biased opinion, there are only two options for you, the West or North Shore.<\/p>\n

The South Shore of Oahu is fairly stable as well, but those beaches are crowded and rather ugly.\u00a0 The East Shore, well, that\u2019s where all the rain and wind happens.\u00a0 When the weather is great throughout the islands, many beaches on the east shore are prefect for weddings.\u00a0 The problem is that you\u2019re really toying with weather gods if you choose a location on the east shore.<\/p>\n

Our hurricane season is from summer to around November.\u00a0 Statistically, they say we are long overdue for one, but I\u2019m not a believer in statistics.\u00a0 If a woman has 9 out of 10 relationships that ended in failure, does that mean that her 10th<\/sup> relationship has a 90% chance of failing?\u00a0 No, not at all\u2026<\/p>\n

What is the best time to have our wedding ceremony?<\/b><\/p>\n

FOR SUNRISE WEDDINGS<\/strong> – You should arrive to your ceremony location at least 30 minutes before sunrise.<\/p>\n

FOR SUNSET WEDDINGS<\/strong> \u2013 We should start your ceremony 2 hours before sunset.<\/p>\n

If you have guest who notoriously run late, tell them the start time of your wedding is 1 hour earlier than your start time.\u00a0 From my experience, late guest usually run an hour late then think everything is okay if they apologize.\u00a0 Tell your late guest <\/span>your wedding time starts one hour earlier, and everything will run perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"Laura-Flores-Hawaii-Wedding-22<\/a>Stormy cloudy weather does not equate out to boring wedding photos<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the best time for our photo session?<\/b><\/p>\n

Photographers preach that the best light happens about an hour before sunset or an hour after sunrise.\u00a0 But to me, that really isn\u2019t true.\u00a0 If it\u2019s a cloudy day, or if there is volcanic fog around, that rule doesn\u2019t apply.\u00a0 When shooting outdoors, light is always changing, so there truly is no best time for a photo session.\u00a0 The best photographer should be able to get great photos at any time of the day, and achieve proper exposure and composition when he or she wants.<\/p>\n

IN CONCLUSION<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, these are pretty much the answers to the six variables of the most asked question by brides \u201cWhen is the best time to get married Hawaii?\u201d<\/p>\n
