COVID... Wedding Edition

To all our family and friends,
We are so excited to celebrate and see everyone. As we get closer, we wanted to share the latest with COVID and how it relates to the festivities.
Hawaii is now requiring that all guests at the wedding provide proof of vaccination to be able to attend an event. Please fill out the below form and upload your card within the form so our fabulous wedding planner, Louise can make sure we are in compliance. Note, any children under 12 are exempt.
Link: Proof of Vaccine Form and Upload
Also, friendly reminder, don't forget to upload your vaccinations/negative tests to the State of Hawaii - Safe Travels. There is also a questionnaire that will need to be complete the day before your departure.
