Detailed answer
City ordinance bans commercial activity at Kailua Beach Park at all times, which can cover paid planners, photographers and other wedding vendors. For a private, non-commercial ceremony, ask the City Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) whether you need a park use permit. The sandy beach is generally State shoreline, and DLNR handles beach wedding permits on State shorelines, so ask DLNR too if the ceremony will be on the sand. Weekends and holidays are crowded, so a weekday morning is quieter.
