“Hosting our wedding here exceeded our expectations in every possible way. I truly and honestly cannot recommend this venue enough. Big Island Last Resort is exactly the elevated, mystical, lush backyard wedding venue you've been looking for. It is an expansive yet intimate space that provides the perfect backdrop for a luxurious, natural vibe. You should have your wedding here!!! The owner property managers were also incredibly accommodating, communicative, and so easy to work with. Everything went so smoothly at every part of the planning process. And then they really made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed both during our stay and on our wedding day. The property managers, Jesse Madeline, are so incredibly kind and gracious and extended the warmest hospitality to us and our families. Truly a pleasure to interact with!! The houses themselves were recently renovated and you can tell from when you first walk in that no expense was spared. There are legitimate high-end finishes throughout the entire house -- floors, countertops, couches, tables, chairs, appliances, artwork -- everything is high-quality and expensive. But at the same time, the houses invoke a sense of home and tranquility, with a lot of natural materials and local aspects incorporated. It was just so pleasant to be in that space. The backyards of the 2 houses were also the perfect space for a wedding. It really feels like they were designed to have weddings there (maybe they were? lol). We had around 50 people and there was an abundance of space. We had the ceremony underneath this really amazing banyan tree in the larger yard (aptly called Banyan Yard). We then had cocktail hour in the smaller yard (Mango Yard), before moving back to the Banyan Yard for dinner, drinks, and dancing. There was more than enough space in the yard for food tables, a bar, dj, a dance floor, a couple of lounge areas with chairs/couches, and also seating for 50 people to eat. (And you could definitely comfortably fit more people). Having the two separate yards also created a really nice flow to the whole evening - it was nice to have the separation of spaces for different parts of the wedding. You won't find a space that comes close to offering what this space does. It really is the perfect backdrop to create a magical and unique environment. You're surrounded by lush vegetation and so much beautiful nature. I'm not sure we found any other venue on the Big Island that would have created an experience like we had at Big Island Last Resort. I have infinite good things to say about this venue, so I'll stop here lol. Seriously just book this place, you 100% will not regret it.”
