We had the perfect wedding at Loulu Palm Estate December 21, 2024! This was a destination wedding for us, and I wish we could go back and relive this day forever. The venue is beautiful, and Nickie was great with communication and so helpful with discussing the venue and equipment rentals, which had everything we needed for the best esthetics! To our amazing coordinator Ashley, we just would like to thank her for all her hard work and making our day so smooth. She also was there for me throughout the whole wedding planning and we bonded for sure, and she would reassure me that everything was going to work out and of course it did. We love her bubbly/fun personality, positive vibe, hard work and dedication on making our wedding perfect. So we are blessed to have met these amazing people and a special spot in Hawaii that we now have so many incredible memories at. We still have our guest raving about our wedding, and telling us it was the best wedding they have been too! I would highly recommend this wedding venue and team to anyone looking to have a beautiful and fun wedding experience.

The Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. It was vibrant and a romantic place to have a wedding especially on a Friday night where they have a firework show. Alma Hamamoto was my husband’s and I catering/service manager. Her communication throughout the planning process was always positive, punctual, and informative. The HHV staff was incredibly kind and hospitable, ensuring our special day was special. The high-quality food and attentive service were standouts, and they even made sure my husband and I were able to enjoy a meal together amidst the excitement. Having the wedding and reception all in one beautiful, sprawling resort was so convenient - we loved being able to take photos in the different scenic areas around the property, and our bridal party had a blast exploring the spa, beach, pools, and restaurants on site. We're thrilled we chose the Hilton Hawaiian Village and would recommend it to any couple looking for a magical wedding experience.

The staff's communication is always incredibly supportive, responsive, and accommodating. The venue itself is spacious, with a beautiful natural setting and high-end, stunning decor that would make any special day feel truly magical. The owners and designers were very thoughtful on every detail, going above and beyond to curate a space that is comfortable and welcoming.

We had our wedding for 50 guests at the Hawaii Polo Club and had the most amazing time. It was just what we wanted - a more low key, casual wedding with a beautiful view. Unfortunately, on our wedding day it rained a lot so we weren't able to see the mountains in the background and the beach was quite gloomy but it was still a great time. We were told the rainy season would be over but it was unusual for May Sugako was very responsive and easy to work with. She also gave us a list of recommended vendor which made organizing the wedding so much easier.

We recently hosted our wedding at the Ritz and we had the best experience. It was beyond anything we could have imagined and that is due to the people that work there. From the very beginning working with Akiko on our contract through check-out with Zella at Guest Relations and Margie at reception. The property is absolutely beautiful and speaks for itself, but it is because of the people that we plan to return for future vacations and anniversaries for years to come. The true ALL STARS of our experience were Marisa, our wedding coordinator, and Michelle, the manager at the Banyan Tree where we hosted our reception. You could not ask for a better wedding coordinator than Marisa. She was always organized and on top of every detail, answered questions via email/phone/video chat right away, dealt amazingly well with all the wedding stress and last-minute details, and made you feel like you were the only person she was there to take care of. When I say she went above and beyond at her job, that is an understatement. She always had the right answer in any situation. She helped us coordinate events before and after our wedding, which she didn't have to do, and put extra special touches on each of them. She made everything special, memorable, and go off without a hitch. This is the place to get married if you want to have the experience of a lifetime. Make sure you ask for Marisa to be your coordinator. Planning your wedding is such an intimate experience that you really bond with people you work with. My husband and I definitely bonded with Marisa and are so appreciative of her that we already miss talking with her all the time. Michelle, who handled the dinner portion of our wedding at the Banyan Tree (the restaurant on property) was also wonderful and did an amazing job making our dinner beautiful, special, unique, and magical. She handled all our special requests from diet, decor, music, and more with grace and expertise. We had 52 people, so it wasn't a small wedding dinner. She executed every detail we asked of her in a fashion that was better than we could have imagined. She always guided us in the right direction when we had difficulties making decisions on food, drinks, seating arrangements, etc. Michelle clearly has impeccable taste and is a true professional in her industry. I greatly appreciate her thoughtfulness, generosity, and gracious personality that is exhibited in everything she does. Her staff is reflective of her... attentive, caring, and professional. Lana in particular took great care of us. She was helping us out on our wedding day, making sure everything at the dinner stayed on schedule and that all our needs were taken care of. When my husband and I went back six days later for Valentine's Day before we left the Ritz we got to sit in Lana's section and spend more time with her. She was such a joy it elevated our dinner experience all the more. I have so many stories about how the people at Ritz made our experience a once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience (and vacation) there just isn't enough room to write it in this review. Overall, we spent about a week at the Ritz and every person we interacted with operated with the same high level of care, customer service, and a true spirit of graciousness. Needless to say, we plan to return to the Ritz in Kapalua as soon as we can! I don’t think we’ll find a comparable experience anywhere else in the world. Lastly, the cost was a good value, you won't regret it!

About wedding venues in Hawaii

Why Is Hawaii the Perfect Place for Your Wedding?

Hawaii offers wedding venues that seamlessly blend dramatic landscapes with authentic Hawaiian traditions. You'll find oceanfront ceremony spots with breathtaking sunset backdrops that create unforgettable photo opportunities. The islands feature lush garden settings nestled against mountain views and historic venues rich with cultural significance. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement or gathering everyone you know, Hawaii's diverse venues can accommodate celebrations of any size.

What Makes Each Hawaiian Island Unique for Weddings?

How Does Oahu Balance Accessibility and Beauty?

Oahu combines easy accessibility with spectacular natural beauty, making it perfect for guests traveling from afar. Venues like Turtle Bay Resort in Kahuku give you stunning beachfront settings with a deeply romantic atmosphere your guests will talk about for years. The Royal Hawaiian in Waikiki offers accessible venues including the Ocean Lawn and Coconut Grove. This flexibility helps you design exactly the wedding you're envisioning without logistical headaches.

Which Hawaiian Island Offers the Most Scenic Backdrop?

Kauai gives you near-private beach ceremonies with intimate settings along its secluded shorelines. Perfect for couples seeking privacy. Maui features The Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua with exceptional culinary experiences and comprehensive wedding coordination that takes stress off your shoulders. The island's upcountry settings provide cooler temperatures and sweeping vistas that create dramatic backdrops for your special day.

How Much Does a Wedding in Hawaii Cost?

A Hawaii wedding venue costs about $10,665, fitting right within the national average range of $6,500-$12,000. You'll typically spend between $9,600-$11,700 on your venue, which represents about 19% of your total wedding budget. Your overall costs will scale with guest count: 50 guests runs around $24,065 while 300 guests approaches $96,881. Most couples secure their Hawaii venue about 14 months before the big day. June sees the highest number of venue inquiries, so plan accordingly if you're considering a summer wedding.

Where Can You Find Accessible Wedding Venues in Hawaii?

The Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa offers fully accessible venues with ramps, elevators and carefully designed pathways throughout the property. Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa provides highly accessible spaces with beautiful beachfront options that don't compromise on the Hawaiian experience. The Royal Hawaiian features accessible accommodations with well-integrated ramps and elevators throughout the property, ensuring all your guests can fully participate in your celebration.

Which Hawaii Venues Offer Outstanding Culinary Experiences?

Halekulani Hotel on Oahu has earned its reputation for fine dining and exceptional service. Their wedding menus consistently receive glowing reviews from guests who appreciate the perfect balance of sophistication and island flavors.

How Can Remote Guests Participate in Your Hawaii Wedding?

Kualoa Ranch's breathtaking scenery makes streamed events feel special even for those watching from thousands of miles away. The Hyatt Regency Waikiki offers advanced technological solutions including virtual greeting systems that create meaningful connections. Consider innovative approaches like providing VR headsets to remote guests or assigning a dedicated host to engage with virtual attendees through live chat. These touches help everyone feel included in your celebration regardless of distance.

What's Your Next Step in Planning Your Hawaii Wedding?

With venues typically booked 14 months ahead, you should start scheduling venue tours during Hawaii's shoulder seasons. April-May or September-October give you the advantage of wedding professionals having more availability to answer your questions. Working with a more modest budget? Consider restaurant private rooms like Cafe Julia in Honolulu which includes furniture, basic decor and staff in their package price. This approach gives you the Hawaiian experience while keeping costs manageable.
