Here are a few common questions we receive from same-sex couples looking to get married in Hawaii:

Do you offer gay and lesbian weddings?

Yes, we do! We’ve held a long-standing belief that love is love. Ever since Hawaii legalized same-sex marriage, we’ve been conducting wedding services for LGBT couples.

Are gay and lesbian weddings legal in Hawaii?

Yes, gay and lesbian weddings are legal in Hawaii.

Do we need to be United States citizens to marry in Hawaii?

A marriage in Hawaii is legally recognized worldwide as long as you are eligible for a Hawaii marriage license. However, make sure to look into your country’s marriage laws. Although your Hawaii marriage certificate is a valid legal document, each country has specific requirements to determine if it will be recognized. For example, an apostille may be required. 

Are there any legal differences in Hawaii for gay weddings compared to straight weddings?

No, there are no differences.

We’re always here to help, so please reach out if you have any questions or need some tips. Here are a few testimonials from some of our recent same-sex couples.

Since 1978, Weddings of Hawaii has been helping couples plan their Hawaii destination weddings and vow renewals.
