I just needed to clear the air because there have been some very dishonest wedding planners out there who are telling their clients that beach weddings are illegal, and the only option is to book with an expensive resort, or to book with a private property. \u00a0The reason they are doing this is that these wedding planners receive a hefty commission from the resort or property managers. \u00a0 In other words, flat out greed has compromised the ethics of these wedding planners.<\/p>\n
Commercial weddings, meaning any wedding where money is exchanged on the premises<\/span>, in this case the public beach of Hawaii, requires a permit from the DLNR. \u00a0This permit is usually obtained by the minister or wedding planner. \u00a0 By law, no chairs or arbors are allowed at commercial weddings. \u00a0There is an exception written that chairs can be used for anyone who has disabilities.<\/p>\n Non-Commercial weddings, meaning weddings where no commercial transactions take place on the premise, do not require permits. \u00a0 It is the ministers 1st Amendment right to practice his freedom of religion at the public beach to conduct a religious ceremony. \u00a0It is the couples 1st Amendment right to practice their freedom of speech to say they love each other. \u00a0 It is the 1st Amendment right of on lookers to watch this happen, and to photograph it willingly.<\/p>\n Do not believe a word of these lying wedding planners.<\/p>\n ALL THE BEACHES IN HAWAII ARE PUBLIC PROPERTY. \u00a0Meaning they are property of the public, not the State, not the City and County, and not the property of any beach resort. \u00a0 This is why Hawaii has a very hard time kicking homeless people off of the beach, it’s because they are sleeping on public property. \u00a0They can kick the homeless out of city parks, but not the beach.<\/p>\n If we need a permit for your wedding, we’ll get it!<\/p>\n [srizonfbgallery id=1]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just needed to clear the air because there have been some very dishonest wedding planners out there who are telling their clients that beach weddings are illegal, and the only option is to book with an expensive resort, or to book with a private property. \u00a0The reason they are […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1950,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2947"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2947"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2947\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dreamweddingshawaii.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}BEACH WEDDINGS ARE LEGAL, AND HERE’S THE PROOF<\/h3>\n
