APPLICANTS’ REQUEST
1. Request: To establish and operate a one-bedroom bed and breakfast with a maximum
of 5 guests and a wedding venue with a maximum of 10 guests on a 3.003-acre
property. Weddings will take place on a 962-square foot area of the property with an

Description of Proposed Use
Bed & Breakfast-Small Intimate Personal Wedding Space
Updated proposed venue operation use:
Here is the proposed information regarding the Bed & Breakfast & Small personal intimate nano wedding venue. We would like to provide for couples seeking a ceremony that is meaningful, affordable, and ethically sound, the shift from a massive commercial event to an eco-green nano wedding—defined as an ultra-intimate celebration with ten or fewer guests—presents a compelling and superior alternative. Our wanting to do this venue is primarily driven by three core factors: dramatic environmental reduction, profound financial freedom, and unmatched personal intimacy.
I would like to perform, as a licensed minister in the state of Hawaii Eco -Green NANO weddings. A nano wedding is even smaller then most weddings performed, with no more then 10 guests max, often, just the couple getting married, witnesses and or close family. Live streaming the wedding-Eliminates "Invite Guilt": You don't have to feel bad about trimming your in-person guest list because everyone who matters can still be part of the moment virtually as well as being better on the environment with less travel emissions (the single largest factor in a wedding’s footprint) are drastically reduced.
My husband, myself and possibly our daughter would be operating this wonderful space and offer guests a unique, intimate and small wedding experience, along with a B&B for the guests and or bride and groom if they wish to relax and enjoy the island. Also, we would hope the B&B will keep us busy on the non wedding season. We would love to be able to offer our property for visitors to stay and enjoy the island. Also, incorporating culture and traditions with less of a carbon footprint on the Island.

We intentionally limit event size, control noise, restrict parking to on-site areas, and use sustainable and low-impact practices.

Aloha Bed & Breakfast is a boutique, island-inspired lodging experience located in Ocean View Hawaii, designed for travelers seeking authentic hospitality and a peaceful escape from traditional resort environments. Rooted in the spirit of aloha, our B&B blends comfort, cultural immersion, and natural beauty to create a warm and memorable stay.
Market Opportunity
Hawaii welcomes millions of travelers each year, with rising demand for boutique and culturally authentic accommodations. Travelers increasingly favor unique stays that offer connection—not crowds.
What We Would Offer
2-5 guests can sleep in our uniquely styled guest room area with tropical garden views and stunning views of South Point.
Simple Continental style breakfast featuring Kona coffee, Mamaki tea and a sealed packaged baked good
Personalized itinerary support and curated cultural experiences (lei-making, advice to connect guests to local tours and restaurants we would recommend)
Complimentary beach gear and information recommending local beaches and markets
Why We’re Different
A personalized, home-like atmosphere compared to large-scale resorts
Deep integration with Hawaiian culture and local businesses
Eco-conscious operations that honor the environment
A quiet, intimate experience ideal for couples, solo travelers, and adventurers
Ocean View Events-small eco green wedding venue, we would have them down in our back property area, that over looks South Point. We would have a simply decorated arch, with native flora and greenery from my property or purchased from local venders. We would offer our permitted home space that is fixed up very cute for them to get ready and offer fruit, tea and coffee only.
Reason for asking for a special permit is so I can offer my services, a small unique intimate experience for people who can’t afford a big wedding, with incorporating the native plants, culture, surrounding views and traditional wedding ceremonies and of course make a little bit of money to survive, my husband is a retired Fire captain and can no longer work- So, I am constantly doing some type of hustle to make ends meet.
Our plan to do this would not effect our surrounding area, in fact we host a lot of family BBQ’s that have more people then our plan to host 10 people max and under for a small wedding. We also, on many occasions include the neighbors at our personal BBQ’s. We have never had any problems with noise and keep in mind the properties are not in close proximity, compared to most towns. We are 3 acres and only use about 1/4 of it.
Archaeological and Historic Resources: no known documentation on our property for Archaeological or historic resources.
Valued Cultural Resources: Our proposed Nano venue will not effect any Hawaiian rights, we do not have any medicinal plants or ki leaf, chord, or thatch.
Floral and Faunal Resources: Our property does have Ohia trees in the Canyon and a few spread out around, approximately 7 Ohia trees, 1 koa tree in the middle of the orchard, 1 Strawberry guava ( 1white Guava)
Fauna: Mouflon Sheep, pass through the canyon
Public Access: Tiki Lane is a public Road and our property will not effect that. With 10 or few vehicles.
Description of access: Access to our property of proposed small venue, is off a public road -Tiki Lane then turn into our driveway or second parking area.
Traffic Impacts: Proposed use of nano vent would not impact traffic of ten or less vehicles on the few days of operation. We currently have that many on occasions for neighbors and friends visiting for BBQ.
Availability of Utilities: We currently have Hawaiian Electric, 3 oversized Catchments, & Permitted septic.
One of the reasons I feel the proposed use would not effect the chapter 205 and our request is a reasonable use is: We do not do any cultivation of our Ag land and all of our neighbors around proposed land use for the nano weddings, do not harvest or have high capacity cultivation of any kind.
Our proposed use would not burden any public agency for it is absolutely less then 10 people.
Parking: Parking for under 10 guests would not be a problem. We have a second driveway right off the main road with lots of room to park on the 3 acres. However, currently we have it blocked off -for riff raff have used it in the past to rob us. We now have security for safety.
Focus on personalization: I would like to incorporate unique and meaningful touches that reflect the island and offer to help teach the bride to present a traditional hula to the family and groom, and I could assist in that as its a tradition of my family on Maui has done for many weddings. I would also like to offer the bride and crew a flower lei making sessions that they would wear during the ceremony and possible show them around to see all the native flowers and plants used in the process for the family, witnesses and couple.
Hours of operation: would be limited to Fridays and weekends- Starting in the late afternoon between 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Flexibly is important as well: While some people may have fixed timelines, others may have specific needs.
Venue rules: Its essential to communicate and carefully agree to specific operating hours, parking rules to park only on our designated parking area and restrictions of our quiet space and their specific needs of all involved and no more then 10 guests allowed.
Getting Ready: Couples may need to arrange for early access if they plan on using to property to get cleaned up and ready for pre-wedding preparations.
Hawaii’s requirements: for performing a ceremony and license. I have included a copy my minister credentials, a good standing letter and license from the state of Hawaii
Description of property: 92-8486 Tiki Lane, Ocean View Hawaii 96737 This 3 acres has a main house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen that is permitted. The property has plenty of places to wash or use a restroom. Outdoor shower if needed too, to get cleaned up.
State County Plans AffectingThe Request:
Surrounding zoning & land use -A-1A zoning is primarily for agricultural purposes
Thank you for reviewing our application for this special permit. The proposed small wedding venue is believed to be a valued asset to those that can’t afford a big wedding and also teaching some culture on this property we believe to be very special and important. It would be operated in a responsible manner that respects the land and the neighbors. We believe the small wedding venue aligns with the goals of this property, your department and this vibrant community in Ocean View.
Thank you for your time and expertise,
Truly- Laura, David & Calla Olson
