Obtain the Necessary Permits
Depending on your chosen location, you may need permits for your sunrise elopement! Be sure to check with the local authorities or your wedding planner to ensure that you have all the necessary permits in place.
Consider the Weather
While Hawaii is known for its beautiful weather, it's always a good idea to have a backup plan in case of inclement weather. Consider renting a tent or choosing a location that offers some shelter, just in case!

Personalize Your Ceremony
Since elopements are all about the two of you, take the time to personalize your ceremony and make it meaningful. Write your own vows, choose special readings, or incorporate cultural traditions to make your sunrise elopement uniquely yours!
Celebrate Together
After your sunrise ceremony, take some time to celebrate together. Enjoy a romantic breakfast on the beach, go for a hike to explore the island, or simply relax and bask in the joy of your newlywed status!
