The ultimate location. Book the clear top tent, add fairy lights to make it truly magical. Strap yourself in for the food which is out of this world!
It’s pricey but worth it.

Megan was very flexible with us during our ceremony at Kuilima Cove and when it was rained out she helped us relocate the ceremony to the Chapel at Kuilima Point. She was flexible with us and quick with a solution to what could have ruined our ceremony. Frankly, she saved our day. Thank you Megan, from the bottom of our hearts!

Turtle Bay Resort certainly deserves a 5/5 rating! While I was a bit worried in the responsiveness category, it is important to remember that it's because they have SO many weddings and events there. This turns into a positive thing because with all of that experience, they are able to take care of you and operate everything smoothly with no issues at all. Our wedding day ran perfectly. The team is amazing! They executed on a high level and made sure our vision came to life. The property as a whole was perfect for bringing our family together. Having family all over the island, it was a great neutral space for all of us. We also had guests travel from Chicago, Florida, and New York City. Plus, we planned this from our current home in Denver! Turtle Bay Resort pulls out all the stops and gives the vacation of a lifetime to all of your loved ones. We are so honored to receive as many compliments as we have and those are certainly getting passed on to our vendors who made all of it possible. Mahalo nui loa!

We used TB as our venue for our destination wedding ceremony and reception. At first, we sort of decided to do the site visit as a joke as we assumed that the price point would be too high. It was surprisingly reasonable and Sheri Chang, who was our sales manager was a dream to work with. She was patient with our questions and multiple drafts of the contract. She set up a two in one site visit and menu tasting since we were coming in from the mainland.

Our catering manager was Margie Adolpho. She was also STELLAR. She was responsive to questions via email and text and went above and beyond when we thought we would have to cancel our afterparty after a miscommunication about options (not her fault). She helped us to problem solve and helped to make sure everything went off without a hitch, not just with the afterparty, but for everything.

EVERY person talked about how great the food was. Many of them said that it was the best food they had on vacation. The food ended up being a little more than we expected, price-wise, but it was well worth it.

The only thing that I would potentially recommend NOT doing is a room block. It was really confusing and many people were able to find better rates via the TB website. However, one minor issue in planning a destination wedding for 100 people is totally fine in my book. Outside of that, I would not change a single thing about our wedding...other then maybe staying on the island a little longer ;)
Mahalo nui loa!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help on the day and in the planning of our big day. You helped make our dreams come true and were an absolute pleasure to deal with. We appreciate the time you took to help us move locations and for being so patient and kind.
Thank you so much again. We will never forget our day thanks to you!

Such a wonderful place to get married. We were treated so special during our honeymoon stay at this resort. We also held our wedding at the hotel and it went off without a hitch!!! So beautiful; I couldn't ask for anything more. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I hope every bride feels like I felt getting married at this beautiful resort; a princess!!! The stunning hotel and friendly staff made this trip so magical. So happy we decided to have our wedding and honeymoon here. No regrets & we can't wait to return next year!!!!

Five stars for service, location, natural beauty and overall ambience. My husband and I had our wedding ceremony here less than two weeks ago and I can't even begin to say how beautiful it was and how the resort staff went above and beyond for us. If you are considering your wedding, honeymoon or anniversary here, don't think twice. Just book now. It was the most magical time of my life and I only wished we stayed longer. The resort is even more beautiful than it was shown in photos or in the movies. Everyone was so helpful and treated us with first-class service. Mahalo to Dida (Events), Jacques (PSAV), Leilani (check-in), Hoku/Charlene (Housekeeping) and Liz (flowers) for giving us the wedding of our dreams. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will be back!
PS. Feel free to message me if you are considering your wedding here. Will be glad to answer any questions!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
