Amazing location for a micro wedding

We got married in January 2021 - just the two of us - at Hotel Wailea. Kimi was wonderful coordinating the wedding. She answered all of our questions via email in advance and made us feel so taken care of while we were there. In addition her upbeat and positive personality made working with her a treat. She picked great vendors for the photographer, videographer and officiant and helped us to coordinate a live stream of the ceremony and post-ceremony zoom with guests with the videographer. We couldn’t be more pleased! This would also be a stunning location for a smaller wedding with a handful of guests or a large event. The grounds are spectacular. We were married on the sunset lawn, but the treehouse is also a stunning location.

Amazing and perfect!

Wow!! When we chose Hotel Wailea for our wedding we knew it would be beautiful, but this was so far beyond our expectations. The venue is incredible and nothing like we have ever experienced before.

Every single detail of the wedding was completely perfect. Not a single thing went wrong and people are still talking about how amazing everything was.

THE FOOD! They did a special luau menu for us, and it was without a doubt the best food we have ever had. The same sentimare was shared by all of our wedding guests.

Kimi was so on point with everything and was so welcoming and friendly. I can’t say enough good things about her.

We recommend a wedding here to everyone and we certainly hope that we can come back again for years and years to come.

NOTE: This review is based on my correspondence with Hotel Wailea only. Unfortunately due to the size of our wedding, we were unable to have our ceremony at this venue after all (exceeded max occ.)

I worked with America to have a ceremony on their Sunset Lawn (BEAUTIFUL SPACE!). She was very responsive and was extremely flexible and accommodating to meeting our requests. We also planned on having our reception down the road from Hotel Wailea at Mulligans, and America worked with Julie (from Mulligans) to be able to accommodate what we were looking for and what would work best with our wedding! We live in Seattle and was planning our wedding from afar. And if our guest list wasn't so high, we would have booked with Hotel Wailea in an instant. America made wedding planning easy =)
