Hawaii Wedding Minister

About

Rev. James operates Hawaii Wedding Minister out of Honolulu, with an office address on Ala Moana Boulevard and a second listing in Aiea, and he keeps his pricing unusually transparent for the wedding industry. A weekday ceremony (Monday through Thursday) runs $299, while Friday-through-Sunday dates are $349, and the site spells out every possible surcharge in advance: $50 extra on holidays, $300 on major holidays, $75 for sunrise weddings that start before 10 a.m., a $150 beach-permit paperwork fee, and travel charges between $50 and $150 depending on where on Oahu the couple wants to stand. That itemized fee schedule makes him easy to budget around for couples planning a simple Hawaii elopement from the mainland. His focus stays on Oahu rather than chasing inter-island work, and one of his signature offerings is an "Elopement at the Park" format, a short non-religious ceremony held at select park locations for pairs who want the legal moment handled gracefully without a production around it. Rehearsals are priced identically to ceremonies if a couple wants a run-through. He also operates under the Hawaii Wedding Studio name, and reaching him is straightforward since both a direct phone number and an email address are published on the site. For couples whose priority is a reliable, clearly priced officiant in the Honolulu area rather than a bundled package with photography and flowers, this is one of the most no-nonsense options on the island.
