Congratulations, Michelle & John! 🤍
We had been planning their Hawaii wedding since March 2026, with the original plan to celebrate on August 15th at beautiful Kikaua Point.
Then Hurricane Lala started heading our way.
As the storm approached, we shifted the wedding to August 17th after receiving confirmation that the beach would be open. But on the morning of the 17th, the Mayor made the decision to close all beaches across the island.
So we pivoted again.
With just hours to make it happen, we were able to move the entire wedding to Kona Sea Salt Farm and still give Michelle and John the beautiful outdoor Hawaii wedding they had dreamed of.
A huge mahalo to Jen, the event manager at Kona Sea Salt Farm, for working with us at the last minute and helping make this celebration possible. 🌴✨
We always tell our couples that when you plan an outdoor wedding in Hawaii, flexibility is part of the adventure. Our preferred backup plan isn’t to move the wedding indoors — it’s to move the date, usually by a day or two, and sometimes to a morning ceremony when the weather is more favorable.
That is why we encourage our couples to build a little flexibility into their travel plans. Michelle and John did exactly that, and through a hurricane, beach closures and two changes of plans, they remained wonderfully flexible.
And in the end, they got married surrounded by the beauty of Hawaii. ❤️
Congratulations, Michelle & John! What a wedding story you will have to tell for the rest of your lives.
