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.

We got married at Sunset Ranch in September 2025, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery, sweeping views, and a peaceful, romantic atmosphere. Every part of the property felt intentional and special, from the ceremony at Fern’s Garden to cocktail hour at Sunset Vista and the reception at Charlie’s Pond. What truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Ronda and the entire Sunset Ranch Ohana were amazing to work with. They were kind, organized, and so genuine in making sure everything went smoothly. We felt supported throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself, which allowed us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful and seamless everything was. It was the perfect mix of natural beauty and thoughtful coordination. We are forever grateful to Sunset Ranch for giving us the most magical day of our lives. If you are getting married in Hawaii, this is the place!

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 Last Resort is so incredibly special. I have been a wedding planner on the Big Island for the past 8 years, and time and time again, couples are looking for a venue where many of their guests can stay on site and also hosts events. It is the most common request we get! And this venue is one of the very best - and is certainly the best value. The homes are STUNNING and so comfortable. Every detail, every piece of furniture, and every fixture was so carefully chosen. It is all comfortable and beautiful. For weddings, it also has so much going for it. There's plenty of parking, two fairly large lawns for the event space, a 200 year old Banyan tree that is a perfect backdrop for ceremonies or receptions, two large kitchens, both with plenty of space for catering teams, and great landscaping for photos. There's a peekaboo ocean view and the homes are very private and surrounded by forests and fields. It is just so special and tranquil. Lastly, the Last Resort is an amazing value! There is nowhere on our island, even close to as nice, for the price. I recommend all the time to our couples, and really to any couple planning a midsize or smaller wedding or event. It will absolutely exceed your expectations!

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!

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.

With venues typically booked 14 months ahead, you should start scheduling venue tours during Hawaii's shoulder seasons.

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.
