    We are having an outdoor ceremony with an indoor reception that has access to a large patio that people are allowed to hang out on.

    Outdoor ceremony for the best photos, indoor ceremony for everyone’s comfort and staying cool while moving around.

    I would definitely prefer an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception. Especially based on the location of the venue and season, I would worry about bugs and weather.

    All of the above! You don’t fly all the way to Hawaii to be inside.

    I love the idea of both of these but I hate that you wouldn’t know until day of if it would work out. I’m doing both indoor ceremony and reception so that I don’t have to be worried about the weather leading up to our big day Smiley heart

    The reception is definitely on the inside. We have to option to have the ceremony outside but we really don't know yet. Right now it's set up to have it where the reception is...inside. But I would prefer a church. We will see.
