Big Island Elopement Packages: A Comprehensive Guide

Big Island elopement packages can be a romantic, intimate, and cost-effective alternative to a traditional wedding. It's all about focusing on the two of you, without the stress and pressure that can come with planning a large event with an extended guest list.

When it comes to the ultimate Hawaii elopement experience, Big Island in Hawaii offers some of the most beautiful and diverse locations in the world.

  1. Cost-Effective: Eloping can save you a significant amount of money compared to a traditional wedding. The average cost of a wedding in the U.S is currently around $33,900. In contrast, elopement packages often cost significantly less, allowing you to allocate funds to other areas like honeymoon or a new home.                                                                                 
  2. Intimacy: Eloping allows you to focus on each other without the distractions of a large guest list. It's about celebrating your love in a way that feels most authentic to you.                                                      
  3. Flexibility: With Big Island elopements, you're not tied to a specific location or schedule. You can choose to say your vows at sunrise, sunset, or under a waterfall if you wish. The day is entirely yours to design.                                                                                                                            
  4. Freedom: With eloping, you have the freedom to get married wherever and whenever you want. You aren't tied down by venue availabilities or guest schedules.

Big Island Elopement Checklist 

Planning an Hawaii elopement can be as exciting as it is daunting. There's a lot to take into account, from selecting the perfect date and location to arranging all the nitty-gritty details. If you're considering tying the knot in a beautiful, intimate setting like the Big Island, our Elopement Checklist is here to guide you through the process.

This comprehensive list covers everything from booking your elopement package and obtaining your marriage license, to planning your travel and packing essentials. Let's dive in!

Eloping on the Big Island is about creating an experience that's uniquely yours. With the right planning and the perfect elopement package, you can rest assured you will have a day that's just as special and memorable as any traditional wedding.

  1. Choose Your Date: Consider the weather, especially if you're planning an a destination Big Island wedding outdoors. Big Island in the winter time can be much colder  than in the summer time.                                                                                      
  2. Book Your Elopement Package: Research different packages and choose one that best fits your needs and budget. Big Island Elopements on the beach will be less expensive than wedding venues.                                                                                                                     
  3. Obtain Your Marriage License: In Hawaii, you must apply for a marriage license from the Department of Health. You usually use a marriage licensing agent which will most likely be in Kailua Kona.                                                                                                                  
  4. Plan Your Travel: Book flights, accommodation, activities and any other travel requirements. Any additional things you want will just enhance your elopement experience.                                                           
  5. Pack Appropriately: Remember essentials like your outfits, rings, and any personal items you want for the full ceremony. Remember you are going to Hawaii island and it is warm so pack warm weather clothing. If heading up to Mauna Loa you may want to bring something warm as it can be very cold.                                                                          
  6. Enjoy Your Day: Take a deep breath, relax, and savor the moment. Enjoy the beauty of the Island of Hawaii.
