Hawaii State Law for Wedding Ordinations
State Statue:
572-12 By whom solemnized. A license to solemnize marriages may be issued to, and the marriage rite may be performed and solemnized by any minister, priest, or officer of any religious denomination or society who has been ordained or is authorized to solemnize marriages according to the usages of such denomination or society, or any religious society not having clergy but providing solemnization in accordance with the rules and customs of that society, a legislator or constitutional officer of the State, or a member of the United States Congress who represents a district within the State, while that person holds office, or any justice [or], judge, or magistrate, active or retired, of a state or federal court in the State, upon presentation to such person or society of a license to marry, as prescribed by this chapter. Such person or society may receive the price stipulated by the parties or the gratification tendered."
Wedding Officiants: Because officiant requirements often change, we strongly suggest that you contact the clerk in the county in which the wedding is to be performed to find out further information. You must officiate the wedding in the same county in which the couple obtains their marriage license.
