Great customer service

We had our wedding planned for The Kahala but due to COVID mandates in Hawaii we had to cancel. The team at The Kahala were great and their word was good. They gave us our deposit back since we had to cancel due to COVID. I can't say all vendors in Hawaii have been this great, but would definitely recommend here. Thank you for all your help and understanding during COVID.

amazing service

when my husband and i were looking for vendors, we left several messages for appointments all around Honolulu. When we entered Kahala's property, we were greeted right away and got a tour of the place, and from then on we felt very taken care of. We still have yet to hear back from the other resorts we left messages with, and we got married 06/30/2018

We had a great wedding ceremony and reception at the Kahala Hotel & Resort

We had a great wedding ceremony and reception at the Kahala Hotel & Resort; our family and friends were blown away by the beautiful site. They also loved how delicious the food was. Our wedding was beyond perfect! The event manager was very responsible and extremely helpful during our wedding preparations and on the wedding day. She even helped have a hotel room available for us several hours before check in! We were able to get ready and relax in our room before the ceremony, which greatly eased our stress. We would definitely recommend the Kahala Hotel & Resort to anyone looking for the perfect wedding spot.

We had our honeymoon here and it was breathtaking. Not only is the resort amazingly peaceful the staff is the nicest. We stayed in the dolphin lagoon section of the hotel and I don’t think I’ll ever stay in the towers! The hotel has a private beach, golf, dolphins, amazing food and is quiet in a residential area just 10 min away from the crazy, overcrowded Waikiki! I will never stay anywhere else on O’ahu and I’ve been to a lot of resorts on the island this is by far the best. Only thing I would recommend is making the kids use the kids pool since the adult pool is so small. We had a kid throw up in the adult pool and it was pretty gross!

Came here for my honeymoon. It was a dream vacation and location. Everyone was so friendly & helpful. The resort is gorgeous and the beach is perfect. We spent every day at their quiet beach. It is paradise.

So far so good! The Kahala has been very responsive to all of our requests. We even get a discount to take a picture with the dolphins after the reception! So excited for the date!

The Kahala Hotel & Resort is a beautiful property located a few miles off of Waikiki. The staff is very friendly and the hotel is kept in immaculate condition. It is worth noting that the Kahala is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year.

Our ceremony was held on the beautiful Kokohead lawn overlooking the ocean, and our reception was held in the Waialae Ballroom with views of the waterfall. Both locations were perfect to accommodate our 85 guests. There were also many sites on the property for us to take pictures.

We truly had the wedding of our dreams, and our guests had nothing but positive comments to say about the hotel and staff.

I had an intimate wedding of 70 at the Diamond head gazebo followed by reception at the Waialae ballroom. My planner (Tori Rogers) and I worked with Anna from Kahala and she was very responsive to all my emails and made sure all my requests were addressed from decoration, food and drinks order. They were also very accommodating in pushing back our reception ending time so we were able to spend more time with our guests. The food and drinks were excellent and you cannot go wrong with the Kahala hotel. My guests complimented on how attentive and professional the catering team was. I would recommend this site to any bride but note it can get pricey.

We had an amazing time at The Kahala Hotel and Resort. Our guests, who attended the wedding reception were not stop telling us the great time that they had and the spectacular view! The staff are all friendly and helpful, Kari the planner and Susan (one of the waitresses that I could remember). The experience is one thing that you can't get nothing. We were happily spending thousands of dollars during our stays. Everything is literally 5-star, from the food, services and to the environment.
