DLNR Permit for Your Beach Ceremony

A Dept. of Land & Natural Resources requires a beach wedding permit which includes $1 million in liability insurance for all beaches. We of course, are responsible for this permit. Permits have a (30) person maximum limit.

Our standard permit application covers ceremonies with (10) or less people and including our vendors and up to 200 sq. ft. of space. Larger ceremonies that require more space will increase the permit cost and are additionally charged.

Note: There are no private beaches in Hawaii except, the man-made lagoons fronting the hotels which are not open to ceremonies (Ko Olina). Additionally, because of conflicting State and City & Count laws, some public beaches have restricted access and are available only through private property (Waimanalo Beach).
