We got married at Loulu Palm on September 14th 2024 and it was everything we dreamed of...and then some! From the first moment we stepped foot on Loulu we knew it was the one for us. But that was just the beginning- because shortly after meeting Nickie, we then met with Ashley (the best wedding coordinator on planet earth). Again, after just a couple minutes of chatting with her, we knew she was such a perfect fit for us and felt like we had already known her for years. So it wasn't even a question for us- but if it is for you- my advice would be to just do it. Without Ashley, our special day would not have even come close to how perfect everything was. Not to mention all the weeks and months leading up to it- I love how she always kept it real with us throughout the entire process (with timelines, vendor recommendations, design, layout, cost, etc), but with the most warmth and grace one could possibly have. Ashley is now our dear friend and we cannot wait to come back to visit one of our favorite places. 10/5 stars on both Ashley and Nickie and Loulu Palms!!!!

We recently had our intimate wedding celebration at Empire Steak House Hawaii in the stunning Marble Room with 45 of our closest friends and family and I truly don’t have enough words to describe how extraordinary the experience was. From the moment we stepped into the space, we were completely blown away. The Marble Room is breathtaking, elegant, warm, and adorned with sweeping views that made the entire celebration feel magical. Every single detail, from the table settings to the lighting, was flawlessly executed. It felt like a dream brought to life. The food was absolutely divine. Every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the steaks, the fresh seafood, and the incredible desserts. It was a feast in every sense of the word, decadent, flavorful, and memorable. But what truly made the evening unforgettable was the exceptional staff. The team was gracious, attentive, and genuinely kind. They served with heart and ensured that every guest felt pampered and celebrated. Their professionalism and warmth created an atmosphere of joy and ease that allowed us to simply be present and soak in the moment. This was more than just a wedding. It was the most incredible experience of our lives, and we owe it all to the team at Empire Steak House Hawaii. If you’re considering a celebration here, know that you will be in the best hands imaginable. We will cherish these memories forever. With heartfelt gratitude, The bride, Etika Beqa

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.
