Would book 1000X over!

An absolute 5 star experience all around at Gannon's! I cannot believe such a perfect wedding venue exists! The staff were the best I've ever experienced in my life, period. They were so attentive from the start of the day to the very end. The moment a glass became even partially empty they were on it. My guests did not stop raving about the service at my wedding for days. Everybody was absolutely shocked about how amazing everyone was. I was amazed by how attentive they were to my decor being set up. Down to the napkin shape, (thank you Steven). Every detail was excellent.
The food was phenomenal and Bev's crab dip had everybody talking for days! The drinks were delicious!
Susan is easy to reach and very experienced. She knows what she's doing and makes the experience seamless.
They surprised me so many times! I wanted goblet glasses so badly but couldn't justify the rental cost. When we arrived to our reception, they were just there on the tables! It's like the read my mind!!

Okay lastly, THE VIEWS. Come on. Seriously, like heaven on earth.
Also, SO amazingly priced. I could not stop recommending this venue for the price, it felt too good to be true! We traveled all the way from AZ and had a destination wedding due to the value and price of this venue.

We will most definitely return to Gannon's to eat every time we visit Maui and cannot wait to renew our vows here!

Thank you so much for making all my wedding dreams come true, you guys are magical!

Extremely pleased. Perfect Venue and delicious food!

Gannon’s was absolutely perfect for our wedding ceremony and reception. They blew all of our expectations away!

The Wedding Knoll has gorgeous scenery and is just absolutely breath taking. They have a backup plan for rainy days and that area is beautiful as well. I would not have been upset or disappointmented at all if it rained.

Cocktail hour was on the lower lawn and our guests had a blast!

Now here is where it gets really great...Our guests LOVED the food! During cocktail hour, servers came around with our selection of Hors d’oeuvre’s (crab stuffed mushrooms, lobster deviled eggs, ahi poke lettuce cups, Garlic beef crostini, grilled brochette ciabatta). Everyone loved the everything!

Dinner blew everyone away. We chose the 3 course menu. Crab Cake, Champagne vinaigrette salad, and miso marinated fish with hoisin beef short rib. Our wedding cake! Oh my goodness, I can’t count how many guests told us that our wedding cake was THE BEST WEDDING CAKE THEY’VE EVER HAD AT A WEDDING!!! It was white cake with white chocolate mousse filling and buttercream. We also had a variety of the chefs selection of mini desserts and they also accommodated my request of also having fruit skewers as part of dessert. Our families love fruit for dessert.

The Staff were so friendly, speedy service, and seriously on their A-Game! They were simply phenomenal. A staff member even told us that it was great to see a local group have so much fun as we did. So destination, non destination wedding, Gannon’s is a fantastic venue for anyone!

In a nutshell, stunning views, amazing, delicious food that will not disappoint, lovely restaurant atmosphere, and a very attentive staff sums up to be the perfect wedding venue. We were so pleased with everything that we even returned to for their Christmas Eve buffet which also blew us away! Thank you Gannon’s and Staff. You’ve really made our wedding Day THE BEST DAY EVER!

Gannons was an amazing venue for our wedding. The view was stunning, food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Our guests kept mentioning how tasty it was. The staff did a wonderful job and throughout the entire planning process Susan was very responsive to all my questions. Wish I could do it all again.

This venue was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator for the sunset wedding we had envisioned. I was skeptical at first because the photos online weren't very recent. However, once we got there my husband and I were pleasantly surprised! We got the Upper Pond area. The entrance was grand and inviting. It was private and had beautiful scenery. Have I mentioned that the price was quite affordable for the location (Wailea area)? Great service, amazing food, can't go wrong with this venue.

Had our wedding at Gannon's this past May - one of the best decisions of my life. Picture-perfect scenery, heavenly staff, and the food equated to one of the best meals I've ever had. Sarah C. was our wedding planner/coordinator - couldn't have become the dream wedding it was without her. She is so incredibly talented, kind-hearted, and dependable, I'm still in shock at how perfectly she executed the wedding. Sarah has become one of my most favorite people, and that's something I don't say often.

We were married there in 2015. It was everything we wanted and then some. Beautiful setting at sunset; great food; wonderful planning/coordination services, including referrals to vendors (flowers and photography especially were fantastic); and a perfect event.

We had our wedding at Gannon's Restaurant on June 8, 2016, and we wouldn't have done it anywhere else! Till this day, I still can't get over how AMAZING THE OCEAN VIEW is from Gannon's.
My husband and I live in Toronto, and we decided to have a destination wedding on Maui. My husband and I had never been to Hawaii before our wedding, so we can only decide on the venue from the pictures we've seen on the internet and the reviews people write about. Working with wedding planning service vendor Maui's Angels, we decided that Gannon's Restaurant is the best venue with the BEST VALUE. We honestly didn't expect how good of a value it actually was until we got to see the venue the day before.
Gannon's Restaurant is situated on a hill in a beautiful golf club. Because it's on an elevated hill, the ocean view it has was priceless. Gannon's website definitely needs an update as it does not accurately reflect the venue itself. The venue itself is a lot more upscale, and the photos doesn't do it justice! We wanted an outdoor wedding and so we had our ceremony at the lower knoll and our reception at lower lawn. They were both the perfect choice! Our guests were amazed by the view and the sunset, it was unreal.
In addition to the amazing venue, the staff at Gannon's were exceptional as well! Susan was the main contact who coordinated our food and drink needs. She was very professional and always responded within a few hours. The waitresses and waiters were the nicest throughout the night and the bartender remembered guests drinks. We chose romaine salad and crusted fish for our meal, and they were delicious!
Wouldn't have gone to anywhere else to get married!

We booked Gannon's for our wedding reception, and Susan was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Planning a destination wedding is always difficult just because you can't be there in person, but Susan put me at ease. She was prompt with answering all my questions and had great suggestions for things I hadn't even thought about. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the whole evening went smoothly. Highly recommend!

We booked Gannon's for our wedding, and Sarah was FANTASTIC. She was one of the two (including my videographer) expenses that I do not regret spending on. Sarah responded to us right away with answers to any questions we had, and made herself available whenever we needed her. She received items for us that we had shipped, and even ensured our vision for our centerpieces unfolded beautifully. She met with us when we arrived on the island to show us the place, and walked us through our ceremony (pointing out all the options just in case). She is the sweetest, most caring, and professional person I met on the island. On the day of, she was like a ninja (seriously!) making sure everything was taken care of and done on time. SERIOUSLY one of the best decisions we made related to our special day.

Food - spectacular. Our guests commented that this was the best meal they had while in Hawaii.
Location - splendid. We opted to do our photoshoot right there on the golf course instead of the beach sunset as we originally planned. Luckily we had a well-informed and experienced videographer that knew just where to lead us.

We had our truly perfect and dream worthy Maui wedding here on March 1, 2015, booked the lower lawn for our wedding sight unseen after extensive internet research. Gorgeous grounds (brides heed the warning about that steep hill coming down to your excitedly waiting soon to be husband, had to clutch onto my dad for dear life while in platform heels!) and the most astoundingly exquisite surf and turf mahi-mahi and filet of beef double entree. Usually serving banquets the fish is dry and the beef overdone, I don't know what magic elves are in the Gannon's kitchen but the execution was flawless. Chose Gannon's also because we were so impressed with chef Bev Gannon's extraordinary meals at Joe's and Hali'imaile General Store (check those out too for mind-blowing food!)

Heaps of appies, picture perfect delicious wedding cake, even had a dance floor and booty shake. Susan Jencks was fantastic to work with planning from afar, very helpful choosing the appetizers and wines and being mindful of cost. And next time (err uh not that there'll ever be a next time getting married!) I'd get the wedding coordinator to just make it a little easier arranging decor/timing/bouquets etc. Lois Hiranaga created the loveliest orchid florals, Scott Drexler captured our still photography, and Jordan from Hi Focus did our cinematography and we couldn't have been happier. All that internet research paid off!

FYI the curfew for an evening wedding is 10 pm, but with a 430 ceremony that was plenty of time for our guests to enjoy a post ceremony cocktail reception, and speeches dinner dancing etc the whole cascade. I looked at a LOT of other options in Maui and in terms of the beauty of the location, the exceedingly good quality of the food, the overall value, and the ease of not having to tromp from ceremony to a separate reception site, this place was perfect. A beach not even 3 minutes drive away is perfect for sunset photos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
