I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Loulu Palms along with Nickie and Ashley. We had our wedding here 9/19/24 and it was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. From the very beginning (I booked them in September of 2023) they were extremely prompt with responses and any questions I had they were so helpful with answering. Nickie was wonderful throughout the entire process. The venue/ grounds speak for itself because come on you can see how incredibly gorgeous it already is but yet somehow they found a way to make it even more stunning and made my wedding vision come to life. They have everything you need to rent and could want, and if they don't they can easily direct you to where you can. They made everything from rehearsal, to set up, to day of so incredibly easy and smooth. I 10/10 recommend them and would get married here all over again if I could. Now onto Ashely. I COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT HAVE made it through my wedding week/ day without her. From our first conversation on the phone while I was deciding which day of coordinator to go, we clicked immediately. Whenever I reached out with a mini crisis or question through out the entire process she was so quick to respond and was so incredibly helpful no matter what it was about. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every single second of our wedding because I knew she was there handling everything. She understood my vision and executed it PERFECTLY. You can tell some people are made to be in this industry and she with her beautiful soul is absolutely one of them. She's such a gem of a human. I promise you, you will NOT regret going with Nickie, Ashely, and the entire Ohana at Loulu Palm. We cannot wait to go back and visit.

We would love to shout out Sunset Ranch Hawai'i (and the Owner of the Ranch, Greg) for giving us the opportunity to host our wedding at the most beautiful ranch here on O'ahu! It was everything we've imagined and more, and we wouldn't have it any other way. The whole day was just perfect, and the entire staff, and all the vendors from the package, just made the day even more special! Sunset Ranch offers all-inclusive wedding packages which absolutely takes the stress off of wedding planning! It really helped knowing that our package included the majority of the big vendors like catering, table/chairs/decor, DJ/desserts, florals, and more. These are usually things that most wedding couples would have to find and pay for a la carte, but Sunset Ranch truly makes that part of wedding planning so so easy! Not only is the ranch a STUNNING venue, and super charming, its isolated location made our wedding even more intimate! It was so beautiful! The venue was perfect, as well as the views from the ranch (being it is at the top of a mountain); the scenic views of Waimea Valley (from Fern's Garden), as well as Waimea Beach, and of course, we can't forget the breathtaking sunset that you can watch straight from Sunset Ranch! It truly was a magical day. We would also like to shout out our AMAZING Coordinator, Jonah, from Sunset Ranch, for helping us throughout the entire wedding process! From the wedding planning, all the way up to the day of the wedding, Jonah's been nothing short of amazing! She truly embodied her role as our Coordinator and ensured that we were able to really have the wedding of our dreams. Everything ran so smoothly on the day of our wedding & we truly want to thank Jonah for that! We miss her already! We can't thank Sunset Ranch enough! It was such the perfect place to celebrate our big day and we'd choose it over and over again. Maybe one day we'll renew our vows there too! We'll forever hold Sunset Ranch near and dear to our hearts.

We chose Hilton Hawaiian Village because it was a very beautiful premises and the middle ground in the spectrum of our venue choices. Simply due to factors of budget and a size of around 80 guests, building up a garden to spec from scratch or a simple restaurant wouldn't have worked for us. Working with HHV and specifically Alma Hamamoto made it super easy. We had a destination wedding coming from California and she made it super easy to plan because she knew all the right thorough questions to ask as we were sharing our vision. Even when we didn't have much of an idea, Alma was very clear about what HHV could offer. We visited once in the middle of planning and a second time the week of the wedding to clarify all the details and we knew we were in very good hands. All the staff and vendors that HHV partner with like Cover2Cover are wonderful and go the extra mile. Even when there were strikes on premises and we couldn't use the original beachfront patio we wanted for the reception, all the staff were alert and ready with a full backup plan which speaks to their profound professionalism. They were also generous to help with costs and include extra decor. You have to expect dynamic situations when planning your wedding and I'm grateful the entire team is also flexible. So we were able to have a perfect Hawaiian wedding by following a timeline and weekly checklist, having a few family and church friends help out coordinating, and working with Alma and the wonderful team there at HHV.

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 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.

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.
