We got married at Loulu Palms Estate on April 22, 2025, and it was an absolute dream! The venue is breathtaking, with stunning ocean and mountain views that created the perfect backdrop for our day. Our guests were in awe and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful everything was. Ashley was our planner; she was amazing! Planning a destination wedding in Hawaii—especially when you’re not familiar with all the details—can be overwhelming, but Ashley made the entire process feel effortless. From the beginning, she understood exactly what we envisioned and went above and beyond to bring it to life. On our wedding day, she remained calm, organized, and incredibly supportive. My family was a bit scattered, but she handled everything gracefully—stepping in to guide when needed and letting them enjoy the moment. I even made a last-minute decor request, and she took care of it beautifully without charging much extra. During the rehearsal, Ashley immediately put us at ease. She reassured us not to stress and offered incredibly helpful tips for the big day. Nicki was also wonderful—she managed all the contracts smoothly and was such a pleasure to meet in person. I highly recommend this team—they made our wedding experience not only seamless but truly unforgettabl

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 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.
