Honolulu, Hawaii

Officiant & Ceremony

In Honolulu: Hawaii's rules are unusually friendly, and one of them catches people out. The license is $65, there is no waiting period, and there is no residency requirement — but you must both appear in person before a licensed marriage agent to collect it, proxies are not allowed, and it is void if the ceremony does not happen within thirty days. The part that surprises couples: every marriage performer must be licensed by the State of Hawaii, so a friend ordained online on the mainland cannot legally marry you here without registering first. If you are marrying on a state beach you also need a DLNR permit, and those carry a liability-insurance requirement. Start it before you fix the hour.

Churches and congregations

These are places of worship rather than for-hire officiants. Many will marry members of their own congregation, or couples willing to join and complete a marriage preparation course, and some will not marry non-members at all. Several also price the building, the clergy and the musician separately. Ask early what they require of you — policy varies widely between denominations, and between individual congregations of the same denomination.
