Next-up is the wedding venue location, honeymoon combo and theme. The venue location and honeymoon is on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii and the theme is Island Romance. Hold the phone, we are still working with one-quarter of the average cost for a wedding.
First airfare and hotel, for a three night's stay. Choose a September or October date, this time of year offers lower travel rates to Hawaii as it is a lull period after summer and before the holiday season. It's still 80-85 degrees as always, during these months.
Don't even think about an Internet cheap tickets deal. For low group rates use a big box chain travel agency, best bet, Liberty Travel. If a Liberty office is not nearby, use Liberty online, the group option, and if you make the reservation far enough in advance, you can make partial payments over time VS paying upfront.
Great deal for friends and relatives to remove any financial strain associated with upfront cost. Group travel cost, just under $500.00 per person, and paid over time is totally doable. Now let's add a upgraded room for the bride and groom.
Sub-total:
$1,300 Airfare and Hotel, three nights
The wedding ceremony, on Oahu offers tons of Island wedding packages. Best price sites offer full packages or A la Carte services to pick and choose what you like. The packages include a romantic beach front location, marriage licence arrangements, bouquet, cake, wedding pictures floral-ring head-piece, an up-do hair style, make-up plus a mani-pedi for the bride, at a very upscale spa.
You also receive the services of a wedding coordinator for the day, wedding singer, minister and limo service. Plus one more very cool feature, a live webcast of the wedding ceremony! This way your additional friends, family and acquaintances can share in the moment live, via the web. The Island wedding company offering this package is Destination Hawaii.
The "Orchid" wedding package plus add-ons including all of the above;
Sub-total:
$3,400
Grand total, $5,210.00
This leaves a total of $1,537.25 for spending money and any extras.
For your sit-down dinner, I suggest the Plumeria Beach House Restaurant (inside) at the Kahala Hotel, Honolulu. It's gorgeous, oceanfront, and has a spectacular view.
There you have it, a romantic beach front wedding and honeymoon, without breaking the bank or going deep into debt.
