Every volcano wedding package includes a licensed Kona Wedding Officiant®, a personalized ceremony, a professional photographer, 100 high-resolution edited images, traditional Hawaiian leis, marriage license filing, and free planning consultation. We also guide you through the permit application process — most special use permits are free of charge.
Most volcano-area sites are protected Hawaii State Parks, National Monuments, or part of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. These lands require a special use permit for any organized ceremony. We guide you through the permit application process during your free consultation — and the good news is that most special use permits are free of charge.
Yes — small wedding ceremonies are allowed at designated areas within the park with a National Park Service special use permit. Group sizes and ceremony locations are limited to protect the park, but we'll guide you through every step.
Absolutely — all permitted ceremony locations are in safe, monitored areas of the volcano region. We work only with established, designated venues and follow all park and state safety guidelines.
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is roughly a 2.5-hour drive from Kona, while other volcano locations like Mackenzie and Lava Tree State Monument are slightly closer (about 2 hours). Our packages include all team travel.
The volcano region sits at higher elevation, so it's cooler and often misty — temperatures can be 15–20°F lower than the coast. We are locals to the island, so last-minute back-up plans such as location changes or date adjustments can be accommodated as needed.
Hawaii makes it easy — there's no waiting period or residency requirement. We walk you through the application and handle all of the filing for you. Learn more on our Marriage License page.
