I had the privilege of working with Tina who was very flexible with setting up 2 site visits. She is passionate about her position and the company she is working for. She shared her knowledge about ceremony and reception ideas.
As for the state park it has been renovated with upgrades in the prep kitchen, it has a wonderful rustic interior, and the view of Kaneohe Bay is gorgeous.

Beautiful location and great value for your money!
This venue allows you to create a dream wedding without breaking the bank. You have to have an open mind and a creative vision to turn the hall in to something amazing. Using reliable vendors like Black Book Hawaii and having a very organized coordinator (Sweet Memories) is a must. Book this place early because it fills up quick and communication can be difficult with the venue coordinators sometimes but they have to deal with so many clients so it’s understandable.
