Royal Lahaina Resort

My husband and I are from Los Angeles and recently got married at the Royal Lahaina Resort this past Saturday, Feb 22, 2020. We had 60 guests fly in with us from California and the staff, restaurants, luau, and, guest services at The Royal Lahaina Resort were flawless and so hospitable. It felt like a family, all of the staff were excited for us and were congratulating us both before and after our big day!

Amy Johnston was my wedding coordinator and she absolutely brought my vision to life. I first met Amy in early 2019 when I was scoping out wedding venues all over Maui. Once, I sat with Amy during our initial appointment I knew that our venue would be at The Royal Lahaina Resort. Everything you need is all in one place. The accommodations, food, entertainment, a stunning beach, whales breaching and swimming just off the shores of the resort, a beautiful wedding location, and, most of all an amazing coordinator, Amy!

As a bride planning a wedding for 60 guests, I was meticulous in planning a great experience for my family and friends who flew 2,000+ miles to share this special day with us. I sent Amy an insane amount of emails and questions and she was so gracious and helpful and answered all of my questions promptly and professionally.

One of the moments I remembered most was when I was getting my hair and makeup done and Amy brought up our bouquets to our suite. They were stunning and absolutely exceeded the examples that I sent her during our emails back-and-forth. From there, everything that followed exceeded anything I could have ever envisioned. Our officiant, our Hawaiian musician, the ceremony, reception, food and drinks were perfect!! To top it off we had an amazing fire show to put an exclamation point on the magical night.

The hotel staff, and, Amy were exceptional and took my vision to the next level. Everything that I wanted, Amy made into reality in a way that I couldn't have ever imagined. It truly was a magical day and it was made possible by the great venue and Amy!

Our daughter's wedding was held at the Royal Lahaina (Seaside Junior Suite) on January 8, 2021. We worked with Amy, Johnson, and despite the pandemic restrictions, etc. everything went perfectly. The ceremony site is a beautiful backdrop. The private lawn for the reception was absolutely perfect for our group of 16. Amy did a fantastic job coordinating everything from the first phone call, to the rehearsal, to the entire wedding day. She was calm, helpful and so easy to work with, and she did a beautiful job setting up all the decor for both the wedding and the reception dinner. It could not have been more beautiful or gone more smoothly. All of the food was fantastic, from the appetizers (pork sliders, caprese skewers and California rolls) to the entrees, to the beautiful cake. They were even able to accomodate our request for a gluten free cake, and the guests all said it was delicious. As good or better than a regular cake. The staff were all friendly and helpful the entire evening. We honestly couldn't have asked for anything better. It was an absolutely beautiful day from start to finish!!

Amy Johnston was our planner and she was AMAZING! She answered any and all question quickly, respected our budget, never pushed any add ons, and made the planning process a breeze! She handled the booking of all our vendors, and coordinated with them on the wedding day. We were even able to have Ululani's Shave Ice at our reception! Come the weekend of our wedding, we met with Amy where she ran through all the specific details of our wedding day, made sure the timeline lined up with our photographer's. She was available for anything all weekend! On the day of our wedding, Amy delivered our flowers to the rooms and made sure the ceremony and reception were set up beautifully!! Everything went perfectly, and we contribute so much of that to Amy's careful planning and preparation. She made me feel so confident in the fact that everything would be taken care of! I highly recommend Royal Lahaina for your Hawaii wedding!!
