I can't even begin to summarize the amazing stay that my fiance (now husband) and I had at this resort. We were not initially contracted to have them plan our wedding, but after having a miserable experience with Coconut Coast Weddings, Shentel at HCR stepped in and planned our ceremony in only TWO DAYS...just seven days shy of our ceremony day. She was an absolute God-send for us!

This resort of amazing! We stayed at a Premium Oceanfront Room (if you stay here I would HIGHLY recomment forking over the extra dough for this) and woke up to the sunrise right outside of our window every morning. We were literally a 15 foot walk from the water and had coffee to the tide each morning. It was the most romantic place I've ever been in my life! They also set us up with daily maid service (I assume because of our situation with our coordinator, as we were not initially slated for this), helped us out with every question we could possibly throw at them, and were flawlessly cordial and professional.

I can't say enough. I have absolutely NOTHING negative to say about this resort. The perfect romantic getaway.

Things to know if you stay here: It is just about as far north as you can get on the island, so if you intent is to travel the entire island during your stay, plan on a 3+ hour car ride to the Na Pali coast (we opted to only go as far as Poipu....after all, this was a VACATION!). Also, there are no TVs or phones in the room and if I have to complain about anything I would say that their wireless, albeit free, is spotty.

That said, I would recommend it to ANYONE!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

My husband and I were married at Hanalei Colony Resort. Bree, onsite wedding planner, organized all the details for us. It was awesome to feel like all we had to do was show up and enjoy the ceremony. Every service that she connected us to including photography and hair/makeup provided us with top rate service. The scenery provided on the beach at the resort was the perfect intimate and beautiful beach wedding that we were looking for. I feel lucky to be able to leave my wedding and say that everything was perfect. I woulde highly recommend Hanalei to anyone.

Bree at Hanalei Colony Resort made planning a destination wedding easy. She communicated every detail very well. She went above and beyond to help find the best vendors on the island. She thought of every detail. The wedding and ceremony were perfect. She did an amazing job making everything look beautiful. The entire event went so smoothly. And as the bride on the day of my wedding all I had to do was enjoy the moment.

The on site wedding coordinator is wonderful. She's great at what she does and is very accommodating. The site is beautiful and private, right on the beach. An on-site restaurant Mediterranean Gourmet provided a great reception location and served delicious food.

Helpful service at a good value. Bree was very enjoyable to work with. Having a wedding 3000 miles away from home is a challenge & Bree really helped us address the challenge.

Bree was so helpful in planning our wedding. She provides a lot of honest and helpful feedback, and is very receptive to what people need. In short, she is just awesome. She had everything taken care of and them some when we arrived, and it really made for a smooth and relaxing wedding/honeymoon experience. We also can't say enough about Hanalei Colony Resort. It's a perfect place to stay: clean, spacious, beautiful ocean views (that is an understatement), and it possesses a perfect ceremony site. It's also in the best location on Kauai. We will be returning as soon as we can!

We had a beautiful wedding at Hanalei Colony Resort in August '09. Since we live in Colorado, everything was planned via email and telephone with the wedding coordinator. The planning services offered were excellent. We chose our reverend, ceremony, flowers, car service, etc., based on their list of recommended vendors. When we arrived at the resort, we walked the property with the wedding coordinator so we could plan our photo spots and where to have the service. This was particularly helpful as we had underestimated the wind for a sunset beach ceremony. While we took many photos at the beach after the ceremony, we decided to hold the ceremony near the quaint footbridge on the property. This area was more sheltered and the backdrop of the bridge, the palm trees and jutting green mountains were awesome for the ceremony shots! We had so many beautiful photos. We highly recommend using Hanalei Colony Resort for an enjoyable, relaxed, romantic and memorable wedding.

Our experience at Hanalei Colony Resort far exceeded our expectations. Everyone at the resort was very accomodating. Bree was awesome to work with and made sure that everything was perfect for our special day! This resort is truly unspoiled and unplugged. The views are breathtaking and the staff top notch! We could not have asked for a better wedding/honeymoon destination. The island is so beautiful and the location of the resort is perfect. We are already planning our trip back with friends.

We had a perfect wedding at Hanalei. Bree was fantastic, going well above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our ceremony. It was a stress-free event for myself and my husband because Bree took care of everything from organizing our officiant, booking spa appointments, and even holding the umbrella over me (the bride) when it started to sprinkle on the wedding. It was a beautiful day and we were more than pleased with the sesrvice!

Working with Bree at Hanalei Colony Resort is always high professional experience. As a photographer I am more than happy to work with the wedding planer who knows how to organize an wedding event to the last detail, so I can concentrate on photography. Hanalei Colony Resort has a beautiful location, sandy beaches with so many different backgrounds from the blue ocean and sky to the tropical greenery and mountains. It is just a nice experience and pleasure to photograph an event at HCR - Milan Kenjic, photographer - www.kenjicstudio.com
