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.

Loved renewing our vows

This was such a special event that my husband and I did. The hotel staff made it such a special occasion and I was clear that they were just as touched and full of love as my husband and I. Next time I’d recommending paying extra for a photography as I would’ve loved pictures of the special memory.

Kind and welcoming

Our experience at the vow renewal ceremony was beautiful and very peaceful. We enjoyed the moment with our two little ones by our side. Grateful we were able to share it with them.

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.
