Kona Wedding Question
question
We found your site using Google. We are getting married in Kona in April 2006. Do you know if there is any way to make arrangements for a fireworks display in Kona and who we would contact for such a thing?
Thank you for your time.
answer
Wow, that's a hard one ... My initial guess would be no, you won't be able to do this, as fireworks are only legal in Hawaii on the fourth of July and New Years. However, some hotels and cruise ships do blow fireworks at other times - so maybe there's hope. What hotel will you be staying at? Will you be hiring a wedding coordinator? Lisa
followup question
Thanks for your response. We will actually be staying at a private home on Alii Drive. We haven't yet decided about hiring a wedding coordinator. We are still discussing that. We weren't sure what the laws in the state were regarding fireworks. We were on Oahu earlier this year and the Hilton Hawaiian Village had fireworks most of the nights during our 2 week stay, so it hadn't occurred to us that there might be laws. Would you suggest that we hire a coordinator? Do you think they would have connections to such things?
Thanks again for your response. Have a wonderful Christmas!
followup answer
Yes, there are laws regarding fireworks here, and it's actually been quite a bone of contention in recent years with a new law geared at reducing the amount and firepower of fireworks fired by individuals even on those two days when they are allowed. However, the Hilton and their weekly fireworks were exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote there may be hope. As far as I know they are only supposed to fire them on Fridays, but if you saw them more than that maybe they have special permits for anytime, and if they can get permits, maybe any hotel can. Plus, I always see the cruise ships firing them off as they go past the coast near where I live. They are way out at sea, so maybe Hawaii laws don't apply out there.
The reason I asked about the wedding coordinator was if you weren't staying at a hotel then maybe a coordinator would be able to find out how to get a permit (if its possible). I would actually suggest emailing a few wedding coordinators and asking the question, and if any of them seem like they can help you then you can think about hiring them. I can't suggest one unfortunately, the coordinator I used almost 10 years ago is no longer in business. Here's some I found with a search though:
