When should guests RSVP by?
Formal RSVPs will be sent out on June 1, 2024 August 4, 2024. The final day to RSVP will be October 10, 2024.
What airport should guests arrive at?
Kona International Airport (KOA)
Will ground transportation be provided?
En route to arrivals, complementary transfers from Kona International Airport to the Mauna Lani Resort will be offered throughout Wednesday, December 11 and Thursday, December 12.
En route to departures, transfers from the Mauna Lani Resort to Kona International Airport will be offered on Sunday, December 15.
For those looking to use the complementary transfers, we will request for your flight information as the wedding date approaches to help arrange transportation.
Once guests arrive at the Mauna Lani, there is a shuttle that takes passengers to various stops within the resort premises.
The primary transportation option to and from parts of the island will be via rental car, which each guest party will have to arrange independently. Rideshare options (Uber, Lyft, etc.) are heavily limited. If you would like to use a rental car during your stay, please reserve the car ahead of time and take note that the Mauna Lani charges a $40 per night parking fee.
Are wedding guests allowed to bring a +1?
Because the venue has regulations regarding the maximum number of ceremony attendees allowed on the beach at one-time, we have regrettably opted to exclude +1s.
Will there be any time available to explore the island?
Any guest is, of course, free to explore Big Island (or any of the other Hawaiian islands) before the Welcome Event and after the Wedding Reception.
During the peak days of the wedding, the bulk of the events will take place in the afternoon/evening. Therefore, guests are free to explore the Big Island so long as they plan to be well on-time for the wedding events.
How do wedding guests contribute to the registry?
Registry contributions can be made to @kimiasadeghi via Venmo.
Cash gifts will also be accepted on the Saturday of the ceremony.
What options are available for professional hair/makeup services?
Beauty Lux Shop offers on-site hair and makeup services for wedding guests, but services are first-come first-serve based on availability. Please inquire directly with them if you are interested in getting hair and makeup done professionally.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this subject, please contact either Kimia or Paul.
