Kristin at KBH made the destination wedding planning process so easy! I couldn't have planned a more perfect wedding had I been there myself. She was wonderful to work with from afar and such a pleasure to meet in person. The experience she created for our wedding day was unforgettable, from every detail of the ceremony to the reception afterward. Every staff person we worked with the day of was kind and attentive, and the minister was exceptional. All of this coupled with a gorgeous oceanfront ceremony site makes KBH a total obvious choice for booking your Hawaiian wedding. Thank you for making our day so special.

My husband and I had a DW in Maui last November and wanted to host a welcome reception for ~120 guests the Friday evening before. We had a hard time finding a place in Maui that was affordable and would be able to hold that many people comfortably. We looked at everything - restaurant buy outs, cabana rentals, catering on a public beach. We came across the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel and their lawn spaces available for events and thought this would be the perfect fit for what we were looking for (space-wise, cost-wise, easy parking for guests, etc). We contacted Kristin Molina at KBH and from the start she was so INCREDIBLY patient and helpful. She definitely has a talent for event planning. I can't even remember how many emails I sent over, hoping she would not give up on me! :) There was never any pressure to do this or do that- Kristin was always open and flexible to what I was looking for.

Kristin helped me estimate the right amount of food and drinks, organized table and chairs for the night and provided simple table centerpieces as well. We ended up going with some appetizers and had two all you can eat stations - teppanyaki and a saimin stand. The layout was beautiful and the lawn (Signature Lawn) was right by the water so people were able to watch the sunset while enjoying some drinks. All I really had to do the day of was show up- everything was already set up and ready to go!

Parking was available for our guests at a reasonable rate - hourly rates but no more than $10/day.

Kristin was our wedding coordinator and was great. Did everything for our destination wedding and it turned out wonderful. Hotel was very accommodating and was able to move our wedding up a day due to the weather and had our reception the following day. Malihini was again as sweet as can be and set up activities for our guests during the storm. We all made leis, learned Hukilau and Malihini taught us some wonderful history of the island. She really made us feel like home. Thanks again to everyone that made our day so special.

We had our rehearsal dinner on the Signature Lawn at KBH. We had a pretty tight budget, but Kristin did a great job making it look like we spent more than we did. The location was beautiful. We had a gorgeous sunset. The food was delicious. The entire staff at KBH feels like family the first time you meet them. We had a great time!

We got married on the Nakupa Lawn at the hotel. It was so beautiful and the ceremony was great! Our wedding planner made everything so easy and there was little stress, even though it was a destination wedding!

Mrs. Maddie Rabago was the wedding planner at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel for our daughter's wedding on 5-14-11. She was excellent to work with. She took all of the time in the world with us explaining everything in their packages and selecting a garden site. She helped us plan the menu choices for the reception. A few day before the wedding, she showed us around the facilities and answered any questions that we had. I would highly recommend her as your wedding planner. I felt like the cost was very fair. Other planners on the islands were about to carry me to the cleaners, so be very careful. If they want money just talking with you on tne phone, be very careful.

Maddie was excellent and we were so glad we found out about her and KBH.

Sincerely,
Charles Cherry

Anyone thinking of getting married in Hawaii - I cannot say enough good things about this hotel! We had several people fly over for the wedding and it was so important to have a hotel that was affordable without sacraficing quality. The location was beautiful & the grounds were kept up perfectly. There was a wonderful central outdoor area where everyone could come together day and night. In the evenings there was hawaiian group of performers, and it made for just the perfect evenings to gather with friends, have a bite, a drink and visit.
They had several lovely lawns available for the wedding - we used one for the ceremony and another for the reception. The wedding coordinator worked with me via email and phone for a year as I planned this service. She listened to every request and paid attention to every detail so that I truly had nothing to worry about on the day. She worked a florist and photographer, and the chef of the hotel gave me several delicious food options and is also a talented baker and created a lovely wedding cake for us.
This place was more affordable by far than any other location I checked out and they were the friendliest people I could ever have hoped to work with!
