Does it rain a lot in Hawaii? Is there a rainy season?

Rain Rain Go Away

Yes and no, it depends. NO I promise you it's not as simple as that.
The Kona or "dry" side of the island gets about 20 to 35 inches a year. Not a lot at all,
but it's massive when it's on your wedding day and you're caught without a plan.
PLAN, have a plan B and have an emergency plan just in case. But above all Plan on planning thoroughly.
​
Along with the inconvenience of getting wet and cold if it rains at your wedding, there are safety concerns that you should pay special attention to. It's always a good idea to provide railings for steep steps and inclines, but especially important on a rainy day. You should also consider some mats where guests enter your covered area, weather it be a tent or your home, somewhere they can wipe off wet shoes to prevent slippping.
Can we talk insurance? I can't stress enough  that insurance is so important, but more important if you're hosting at your own home.
