This is the groom, I just got married here the first week of August and it will forever be the best 4 days of my life. My wife and I attended college in the mainland and have been on countless group trips where we’ve packed 20+ people into houses in Aspen Colorado , Puerto Escondido Mexico, Bocas Del Toro Panama and Cuzco Peru. These trips are always the most memorable because it’s not where you are but who you’re with and although all of the places I just mentioned are amazing, the best part of it was waking up every day with the most important people in your life to talk about the night before and what you’re doing that day. What could be more special than experiencing that in Hawaii?

Oahu is so breathtakingly gorgeous and to have the opportunity to get married on the North East side of the island is an absolute treat. If you are unfamiliar with this part of the island, hop in the car and drive here and it will convince you to do it. If you see the venue in person, you won’t be able to have your wedding anywhere else. There is nothing like this anywhere else on Oahu and maybe even the outer islands as well. I’m born and raised on Oahu’s south eastern shore and have spent my entire life driving up to this side of the island because of how beautiful the windward side is and jumped at the opportunity to have my wedding here and am so glad I did. Every wedding I went to growing up was in ballrooms in Waikiki and my wife and I had no desire to do that. If you’re going to be in a ballroom, you could be anywhere in the world.

The Hale Koa estate offers the indoor/outdoor experience for you and those closest to you to be fully immersed in the beauty that is Hawaii. Don’t be phased by a bug here or there as you are in the most remote island chain in the entire world and even in the most affluent properties (Kahala, Hawaii Loa ridge, etc.) you will encounter a gecko, frog, ant or cockroach. The property is very clean and well cared for. Pitambar and his staff are extremely professional and were easy to work with prior to our stay and through the entirety of our time there. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for the backyard Hawaii wedding of their dreams stay here with those closest to them.

We had the most amazing experience at the villa it was like a dream. The amenities are endless, the home is luxurious, the staff is pure Aloha as they say. Could not have imagined a better way to spend our weekend with loved ones. Would 100% recommend booking the estate and honestly wish it never ended. :)

We chose Oahu Villas and Venues/Hale Koa Estate for our July 2024 wedding, and it exceeded our expectations. The venue provided a beautiful backdrop for our day. The area was fully gated and secure, which allowed us to feel like we were in our own private space. The landscaping was lush and fit perfectly with our vision of a Hawaiian wedding.
We had access to the entire property which included a beautiful home that was perfect for getting ready. Each room had air conditioning which allowed for us to feel nice and cool as we got ready on a hot day. The bridal suite was beautiful and spacious which was perfect for the bridal party. The covered outdoor reception area, which included the dance floor, was a perfect place to dine with our guests and dance the night away. It accommodated 50+ guests comfortably, it was well lit, had room for our buffet style dinner and bar station, and plenty of room to dance.
The property boasts well-manicured yards on multiple sides of the house, which provided areas for the ceremony as well as for casual mingling. The inground pool and jacuzzi were available and provided an area for our guests to cool off. The planning team at Oahu Venue and Villas worked closely with us to determine what our needs and preferences were and by the time we arrived at the venue, everything was already set up exactly how we wanted. The space used for the ceremony was picture perfect. We were able to walk from the house, down the aisle between our family and friends to a beautiful arch to exchange our vows and become husband and wife.
Pitamber (the venue owner) was hands-on the entire time. Communication was swift and convenient, and he always made himself available. He was present on the day of our wedding to ensure that things were going smoothly. His recommendations of vendors to use was excellent. We got the sense that he understood how important these details were to us. Our guests raved about the quality of the catering service. The food was spectacular. Our floral arrangements and table décor was exactly what we asked for, our photography team was professional and engaging, our hair and make-up team made us feel beautiful, our officiant was eloquent, and our DJ and emcee were spot-on.
Oahu Villas and Venues/Hale Koa Estate were incredibly responsive to our questions and ideas. They really went the extra mile to ensure that our day was picture-perfect. We are grateful that we chose this provider and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Katie and Gavin
