So glad we decided on King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel for our wedding

We got married at the Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Melanie and the entire team went above and beyond in every way possible.

Melanie made the planning process so easy (we had a wedding planner; shout out to Sunshower Wedding!). We had not been to venue before our wedding, but never had a doubt the day would be amazing. The most stressful part of the planning process was deciding on a drink package!

We had the cocktail hour, ceremony and dance party at the Imu Grounds. It was gorgeous and perfect for our party of 95. Dinner and first dance was at the Luau Grounds timed perfectly at sunset.

We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day (no rain nor was it too hot), but there was a moment the forecast was showing rain. The hotel had a contingency plan for us in case it rained (we found out afterwards that’s not always done). The wedding would have moved into one of their beautiful ballrooms which we would have been quite happy with.

Thank you again, Melanie and team! And so sorry for getting our reviews up so late.

We had a very simple vow renewal and it was perfect! We stayed all week at the resort and had a lovely time: room, pool, beach, bar, buffet.

We had a wonderful stay and special event. Staff, property and amenities are fantastic!

Anniversary Vacay on Kona

My wife and I had a great time. The location is perfect, the hotel has all of the appropriate amenities. I took advantage of the vow renewal service since my wife and I were vacationing for our 20th wedding anniversary. The service exceeded my expectations and was an amazing memory for us!

King Kamehameha's Kona Beach hotel is a great venue that has multiple ceremony locations for your special day offering differing beautiful backdrops. Melanie who is the Wedding & Catering Sales Manager is great to work with and always attentive to each of her clients and their needs. Every wedding that I have photographed at the King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel has been a pleasure and I am proud to be on the list as a preferred vendor.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experiences working with Melanie and her amazing team at King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Melanie is so warm and welcoming, we instantly connected and It felt like we had known each other forever. Melanie has a perfect calm yet assertive personality that puts everyone at ease during the planning process right through to the actual wedding day. If you are looking for a great wedding planner and a wonderful venue in downtown Kona, I would absolutely recommend Melanie at the "King Kam".

Our company has a 10+ year history of working at King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. There is no way to completely express the honor and privilege of performing at a location with such historical and spiritual significance. The majesty of the views and chicken skin of the mana never ceases to captivate our team when we arrive for an event. In addition, the aloha and kokua we find working with hotel's long-standing, dedicated employees make every experience a pleasure. And all of this is the behind-the-scenes vendor experience. We could write all day long about all they offer to their guests and clients. However the countless positive reviews online will well cover all of that territory.
