HAWAIIAN ISLAND WEDDINGS INC. (HIW) makes the utmost effort to perform your wedding at the time and place scheduled. If, however, due to circumstances beyond our control or due to inclement weather, we may be forced to change times or places or re-schedule for another day. We cannot guarantee that there will not be others at the beach you have selected. If there is another wedding scheduled on the same beach, you will be given the option to change to an alternate beach which we have designated. Beach wedding permits do not reserve a beach for you exclusively. We reserve the right to obtain your permit on the day of your wedding, we do this if there is a chance of rain at a beach you have selected or if the beach is washed out by surf. Sunset weddings usually begin one hour prior to sunset, however in case of weather we cannot guarantee a sunset. In case of rain or inclement weather, we will either: 1. Change the wedding location to a nearby drier location, or, 2. Perform your wedding in your hotel room or condo, or, 3.Try to arrange for another indoor location, or, 4. If possible, and agreed to by both parties, reschedule for another day. Some locations may require the payment of an additional fee by you outside this contract. For example, churches may require a donation of upwards of $500.00. If rescheduling for another day, there may be a fee per vendor cancelled or rescheduled. If HIW is unable to perform any part of or all of this contract due to act of God, force majure, labor disputes and strikes, or other forces beyond the control of the parties, the parties herein agree that HIW's liability is limited to a refund of the payments made for that part which was not received or for all of this contact if HIW was unable to perform the whole of this agreement.

Weddings for which full payment has been made and that are cancelled due to emergency or illness may be refunded all amounts paid, except the non-refundable deposit(s), upon sufficient and reasonable proof  provided to HIW. In the alternative, and upon sufficient and reasonable proof of emergency or illness, credit may be applied toward a future wedding date if, and only if, a resort or private property on which the wedding is to be held, if one such was included, also agrees to the credit towards the future wedding date.
