Do you need a permit for a beach wedding in Oahu?
Yes, a permit is required for a beach wedding in Oahu, as most beaches are public. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) issues permits to ensure beach access is regulated. The permit fee is generally affordable, around $50–$150, depending on the location. Restrictions may apply regarding decor, setup, and guest count. To avoid stress, many couples work with a wedding planner who can handle permit applications and ensure compliance with local regulations. Booking a beachfront venue at a private resort is another way to simplify the process, as permits are often included. Check out the latest news on our website at
