Welcome! This bio is a work in progress and is inspired by PlumeriaPal's bio for Maui Brides called AllThingsMaui. This bio is meant to be a compilation of recommendations and resources for brides marrying on the Hawaii's lush Garden Isle. Click HERE to see a Virtual Tour of the Island's Beaches and Sights. If you have used a vendor listerd here and want to endorse them or if you would like to add a vendor, bio or other helpful information, please send an email to: kauaiknotties (at) yahoo (dot) com Mahalo for visiting! Special thanks to fellow Hawaii Knotties redshoegirl, AZtoHIBride, and makaala for their extensive contibutions to this list, to MrsGuchi2be for offering to be our eyes on the island, to LisaKeiko for her encouragement, wit and great ideas and to PlumeriaPal for her creativity and inspiration. This bio is maintained by Married2Mr.Wright/ LoriDecter; you can page me on the Hawaii Board or send an email to the address above. All vendors that are booked by current Kauai Knotties or that have been reviewed in another Knottie's Bio, have an aqua asterik (*) next to them. Happy planning! last updated: 04.08.08 marriage requirements 1. You must be at least 16 years of age. 2. If you are under the age of 18, a birth certificate and signatures from both parents, legal guardians or signatures from a family court are required. 3. Valid photo identification is required (driver's license or passport). 4. A completed application is required prior to the marriage license appointment. This application may be obtained by calling (808) 586-4544 or writing to, State of Hawaii Marriage License Office, P.O. Box 3378, Honolulu, HI 96801. Office hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (Pacific Time). Website: Hawaii State Department of Health 5. You may complete the license application form before meeting with the agent (please use black ink, print neatly, use complete names, no initials), but the form must be signed in the presence of the agent. May we suggest that you carry this form with you just in case your luggage is misplaced. 6. You will need to contact the marriage license agent for an appointment prior to arrival. Please note that some agents do not confirm appointments more than two weeks prior to the event. The bride and groom must be present. For a list of licensing agents, please call one of the following agents for an appointment: Office of the Governer (Lihue) 808-274-3100 Ms. Janice Bond (Lihue) 808-246-0174 Mr. Ken Kubota (Kapaa) 808-822-7354 Ms. Lynn Kubota (Kapaa) 808-822-7354 7. The current licensing fee is $65.00 (cash only), payable to the agent at the time of licensing. 8. The marriage license is issued immediately after the application is made with the agent and is valid for 30 days in the State of Hawai'i only. 9. If a friend or loved one is an ordained minister, they may officiate the ceremony for you in Kauai as long as they have a license to perform marriages in the State of Hawaii. In order to get this license they will need a Letter of Endorsement from the Church in which they were ordained. Lisences to perform weddings may be obtained from the Hawaii State Department of Health, under Hawaii revised statute 572-12. Applicants should contact the Hawaii State Department of Health at (808)586-4540 for an application and more information. 10. If either the groom and/or the bride have been married before, it is recommended that they bring a copy of their divorce decree to Kauai. At the very least, be sure to know the date you were previously married as well as the date the marriage was dissolved by the court. Some previous Hawaii Knotties were fine with just the dates, but others were asked for their papers, so it's best to be prepared. wedding coordinators A Rainbow In Paradise A Simple Marriage-Kauai Alohana Weddings* Bali Hai Weddings Barefoot Kauai Weddings Blessings by Christine Hawaii Event Planners I Do Weddings* Kauai Aloha Weddings Maile Weddings & Photography Mira*Mira Pikake Weddings Weddings Hawaii Wedding in Paradise BASED ON OTHER ISLANDS Shari Dang Weddings Finishing Touch Hawaii Pacific Aisles locations & venues NORTH SHORE Dali Hale Estate* in Kilauea Hanalei Bay Resort in Princeville Hanalei Colony Resort in Haena Hanalei Faye Estate in Hanalei Hanalei Plantation Cottages in Hanalei Hawaiian Romantic Cottage* in Kilauea Jungle Waterfall Hideaway in Kilauea Kauikeolani Estate in Hanalei Kilauea Lakeside Estate in Kilauea Moana Mele Estate in Kilauea Moloa'a Shangri-la in Anahola Na' Aina Kai Botanical Gardens in Kilauea Princeville Hotel & Resort in Princeville -
