Thank you for coming all this way to celebrate with us!
Read on for a few helpful links to make the trip a bit easier to book.
We'll be there Wednesday through Sunday. Our room block is full at the Turtle Bay Resort in Kahuku, but there are still rooms, suites and condos available through the resort.
AirBnB and VRBO have beautiful beachside options along the North Shore of Oahu if you want to live like a local, or a surf god (Ian). There are also condos on the Turtle Bay property available for rent through these sites. Shuttles to and from the wedding will leave from Turtle Bay, so please try to stay nearby.

Do i need a car?
The short answer is maybe. It depends on what you want to do during your stay. If you are staying at Turtle Bay, you can book their shuttle to and from the airport. We'll get you to and from the wedding. There are beaches and activities and restaurants at Turtle Bay, so you could definitely have a relaxing trip sans-car.
That said, if you'd like to check out the island a bit more (see below for the Goodies Nearby), you'll want to rent a car. There's an Enterprise desk at the hotel if you only want one for a day or two, search for Kahuku HI. You can also always pick one up at the airport.
Sharing is caring! Buddy up, and rent cars together for a better deal.

What about the kids?
In order to allow all guests, including parents, an evening of relaxation and spiked shaved ice, we have chosen for our wedding day to be an adult only occasion. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and will enjoy having the evening off!
If your little ones are coming to Hawaii, the Turtle Bay concierge suggested
Nannies Hawaii as a great option for childcare if you need it.
