“Our family just enjoyed a fantastic wedding week at the five-star Fairmont Orchid Hotel, and it exceeded all our expectations! We hosted around 90 guests for the three-day event, with most staying for at least five nights.
I want to extend a special thank you to Celeste Tremblay, the Director of Catering and Conference Services. Her detailed communication and expertise throughout the planning process as well as during the three day event were instrumental in making our events run smoothly despite a hurricane bearing down on us. We had a Welcome Luau on Friday evening at Coconut Grove; the Wedding Ceremony at Turtle Pointe, a Cocktail Reception at the Tennis Pavilion, and the Wedding Reception at The Plantation under a beautifully lit tent on Saturday; and a Post Brunch in the Paniolo Lounge on Sunday morning. Chef Jesse and the kitchen team, along with the service staff led by Diamond, worked tirelessly to ensure everything was perfect. As requested, the hot food was cooked perfectly and served hot, and the champagne was ice cold!
Now, about the hotel itself: every staff member, from the valet to the front desk to housekeeping, was incredibly friendly and professional, making our guests feel welcome. The rooms were world-class, with most recently renovated, and I understand the remaining rooms will be updated by the end of September or early October. The addition of refrigerated drawers in each room is a fantastic new perk! The lobby and many public areas have also been renovated, with new artwork on the way.
Regarding dining options, it’s wonderful that there are three different restaurants available in the evening, catering to various price ranges and offering diverse menus. I have posted more detailed reviews on two of them.
Ultimately, we are thrilled that we chose the Fairmont Orchid Hotel for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding. They could have selected any venue on the island, but they chose this hotel for its exceptional offerings, and they were not disappointed!”
