The Halekulani Hau Terrace was the perfect place to get married and their team made the event even better!
We got married at the Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki Beach this July, and from start to finish, our experience with the Halekulani team was exceptional. Our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were held at the Hau Terrace, a stunning venue with breathtaking views of the ocean and Diamond Head in the background. The food and cocktails were outstanding, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the malasada station we had at the end of the evening. Honestly, they were some of the best malasadas I’ve ever had—giving Leonard’s a real run for their money! The waitstaff at our wedding were gracious and attentive, ensuring everything went smoothly throughout the night. The Hau Terrace was the perfect size for our group of about 50 guests, creating an intimate and elegant atmosphere. We also used Halekulani’s in-house florist, and I can’t recommend them enough. The florals were absolutely gorgeous, and their pricing was among the most competitive we found. A special shoutout to Lilly, our Halekulani-assigned coordinator, who made planning our wedding from off-island so seamless. She was organized, communicative, and truly a joy to work with. Thank you to the entire Halekulani team for making our special day not only beautiful and memorable but also stress-free to plan. We are so grateful and couldn’t have imagined a better experience

Took good care of us and professional
Everyone at the hotel treated us like family and took care of us. Our event manager, Lilly, was in constant contact with us and answered every question we threw her way, there was nothing she didn’t know. The staff on the day of the wedding were super attentive and helped us and our guests with everything, from the guest rooms to the drinks. Everything turned out perfectly. We received a lot of compliments with food, drinks, deserts and how gorgeous the hotel is. We did the yakitori stand as late night snacks for our guests and it was a hit! Love the Halekulani hotel. It’d be forever in our memories!

Highly Recommend Wedding Venue
Joel and Tina, of the catering department at the Halekulani Hotel, are the best! From our intial inquiry, to our site visit, all the way up to our wedding day, they answered all our questions, addressed all our concerns and were extremely flexible at times. We had both our ceremony and reception at their beautiful Hau Terrace lanai. All staff were very friendly, accommodating, and attentive. We truly felt pampered and cared for. We can't say enough about Steven, our banquet captain on the day of. He and his staff went above and beyond for our friends and family! We are blessed to have been cared for so much by this team at the Halekulani! We look forward to spending our anniversaries with them for years to come!

Thank you to Sayaka the Catering Sales Manager for keeping up correspondence with me in our almost daily e-mails. She really helped make this reception go so smoothly. We selected the garden terrace that holds max 80 guests. We maxed out. The mural of vintage Hawaii in the room and the grassy courtyard outside was a beautiful backdrop. We got 1 free night stay in a beautiful room in addition to the 2 we already booked there with the silver package. We also got a free 3-tiered cake so we literally saved a thousand dollars. Our stay was loved especially by my husband Damien who couldn't stop raving about their top knotch customer service. He even got his shoes shined! The real reason my husband wanted Halekulani was for the 5-star food. The reception food turned out to be phenomenal. We had a the highest priced buffet. My favorite was the pork chop and the desserts. We are still eating our wedding cake in the fridge. ;) Our guests still rave about the food. The staff also served us our food which made us feel more spoiled than we already were. Thank you all so much. We don't regret a thing. We have made memories to last a lifetime. Thank you.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
