    Wonderful Beach Wedding

    We had a wonderful experience with our wedding at the Fairmont Orchid. We chose the orchid because they offer a true toes in the sand ceremony and reception. The service, decor, food and beverage, and scenery were truly 5 star. The orchid saved us so much stress in planning the wedding (40 ppl) that we did not hire a planner or day of coordinator. We would highly recommend getting married at the Fairmont Orchid!

    Dream Tropical Wedding at Fairmont Orchid

    We had our wedding in August 2025 at the Fairmont Orchid with 130 guests, and it truly exceeded our expectations. We got married in the Coconut Grove, which was absolutely stunning, and hosted our welcome party in the courtyard. Both spaces created such a fun and seamless experience for our entire wedding weekend. We chose the Okika Wedding Package, which included many core elements for the ceremony and reception. Since we were also bringing in custom elements and outside vendors, it did make things a bit more complex, and in hindsight we may not have needed the highest-tier package. That said, it still provided a strong foundation for the overall wedding. Our Fairmont planner did change a few months before the wedding, but it ended up working out well. Aria was with us on our wedding day and was calm, helpful, and kept everything running smoothly. As a Bay Area couple, we did notice a bit of “Hawaii time” with communication early on, but we were told to expect that and responses became much quicker as the wedding approached. The food really stood out. During our tasting, we were surprised by both the presentation and taste. It felt elevated and not like typical wedding food. We chose plated meals, which were actually a little more affordable than a buffet. The Fairmont was also flexible and allowed us to make changes. We opted out of a plated dessert since we already had a three-tier cake, and instead added a Hawaiian ice bar for a small upcharge, which guests loved. We also did the prepaid bar package, which was 100% worth it. It made the night feel stress-free since we weren’t worried about a running tab and guests could fully enjoy themselves. Shipping items ahead was another huge plus. We sent personalized napkins, menus, and light-up leis to the hotel the month before, and they stored everything and delivered it to our room when we arrived. This made things so much easier since we were flying in. We brought in some outside vendors for personalization, including rentals, a day-of planner (Dayna at Naupaka Events, highly recommend), DJ Tiger and his wife who made the party so fun, Flower Me Pretty for gorgeous florals, BTS Dalhan for content creation, and Hawaii Sound and Vision who handled lighting, coordinated a fire dancing show, and arranged a live guitarist, Vaughn Valentino, for our ceremony. Our officiant, Kuha Tom, made the ceremony feel truly Hawaiian and magical. Photos by Apricity Wedding Photography. Multiple guests have told us it was the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. Dancing under the palm trees by the water was unreal. It was warm since it was summer time, but by the end of the night many of us jumped into the ocean fully dressed, which was a highlight. One of the best parts is that we can go back and visit anytime, which makes it even more special to us!

    We love the Fairmont Orchid

    From our first conversation with the Fairmont Orchid team, we knew we were in good hands. They were flexible with our requests and made us feel heard throughout the entire planning process, which took so much stress out of getting ready for our big day. The location itself was stunning and gave us backdrops for photos that we never expected to get. What really blew us away was the food—it was seriously so good and our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The team worked behind the scenes to turn our vision into a once in a lifetime event, and we felt their care in every detail. We would absolutely recommend the Fairmont Orchid to any couple looking for a venue that delivers on both beauty and service.

    Celeste TremblayApr 28, 2026

It means the world to know that our team’s care, flexibility, and attention to detail helped make your celebration stress-free and memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with our culinary and events teams—they’ll be delighted! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, and we hope to welcome you back to the Orchid soon. 🌺

    Top Wedding Hotel on the Island

    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!

    Celeste TremblayApr 1, 2026

    What a beautiful reflection of island elegance their celebration was! We’re truly honored to have shared in such a meaningful moment. Thank you for choosing Fairmont Orchid to begin your son and daughter-in-law’s forever together ~
