kīkī(noun)
Definition: a spirited gathering among close friends, adapted for Waikīkī, obviously.
STAY A WHILE
A discounted room block is available at The Laylow, Autograph Collection for our guests.
Use the link below to reserve your room at the group rate.
Note: Marriott will show a $50 destination fee in the nightly rate, but this is waived for our guests and will be removed on your final bill at hotel check-out. The room block will auto-default to April 21–27, but you can adjust your dates when booking.
If booking by phone, be sure to mention the wedding block “Erikka & James: Join Us at the kīkī”
Availability is limited, so we suggest booking early to secure your spot.
The Laylow is located in the heart of Waikīkī, about 15 minutes from the ceremony venue in Honolulu. Shuttle transportation will be provided from the hotel to the ceremony, and then back to Waikīkī for the after-party.
DRESS CODE
Think Island Formal with personality.
Since our wedding is small and intimate, we think of everyone as part of the wedding party, and we’d love for our photos to reflect that.
We’ve pulled together a mood board for inspiration below to help set the tone.
Think rich, saturated hues, vibrancy, and tropical prints.
Golds, greens, earthy reds, ochres, and warm sunset tones fit the setting. Skip black – if you’re looking for a neutral, opt for a rich, warm brown instead.
Guys - no ties, jackets optional.
In short: dress up, be bold, and have fun with it!

YOU’VE GOT
QUESTIONS
WE’VE GOT ANSWERS
-
To our loved ones who don’t have TikTok or watch RuPaul's Drag Race, kīkī is a term, which refers to a friendly, celebratory gathering. Kīkī originated in Black queer ballroom culture and later became popular slang for a lively get-together among friends.
-
We love your little ones, but this kīkī will be adults only. Erikka and James expect a certain level of shot taking & ass shaking, and we’d hate for anyone’s bedtime to interfere.
-
Not really. We really just want you to come, but if you’d like to give us a gift, we’d love some help with our dream honeymoon. Buy us dinner, help us see Kauai from a helicopter, give to our rental car fund, or just buy us a round of Mai Tais!
-
Mostly outdoors, so plan for warm weather and light fabrics. Dinner will be in an open-air space, unless it’s too hot — in which case, it can be enclosed and air-conditioned.
-
Shuttle service will be available from The Laylow to the ceremony and from the reception back to Waikīkī hotels or after party location. Exact pickup and return times will be shared closer to the event date and updated here once confirmed. Multiple shuttles will run before and after the ceremony and reception. Please note that guest parking is not available at the venue, and rideshare drop-off is not permitted.
-
Honolulu International Airport (HNL) is about 25 minutes from Waikīkī. Most folks take a rideshare (Uber or Lyft) or taxi directly to The Laylow. Private car services and shuttles are also available through several local providers if you prefer to book in advance.
-
Only if you want to. Most things in Waikīkī are walkable or a short Uber away. If you’d like to explore more of the island, renting a car (maybe a convertible?) isn’t a bad idea. Please note that the wedding venue does not allow guest parking at their property. Guests must take the provided shuttle from the hotel to the wedding.
-
You can do what you want – we’re not your parents. But that’s where we’ll be!
-
Minimum of two nights If you’d like to arrive earlier or stay later, call the hotel directly — they can extend the discounted rate up to two days before or after the block dates.
-
Typically mid to low 80s and sunny with a light breeze during the day, with evenings in the 70s. The ocean temp averages around 77°F.
