Brenda C. Married on 09/03/2021A Beautiful and Historic Venue!
The Royal Hawaiian was fantastic! We reached out to them a few months before the wedding after hearing that our previous venue would be closed for renovations. Working with Jillian Tamaru was extremely smooth: she is organized, kind, and seriously on top of things! When new Hawaii gathering restrictions came down the pipeline, she worked with us and our wedding planner to figure out what to do next, and secured a wonderful outdoor venue for our reception while also helping us organize two waves of reception service and getting us an alternate menu that fit closely to the original!
On the day of the wedding, everything was perfect. My guests raved about the beauty of the Ocean Lawn, the drinks, and the food, which some swore was the best food they had at a wedding. The cake also tasted amazing. We were super satisfied with the service and the warthm everyone showed both before and during the wedding, and we are greatly looking forward to staying at the Royal Hawaiian in the future! -

Monica Married on 02/18/2020Punch Drunk Love at the Pink Palace
Ever since we saw the art film “Punch Drunk Love” by Paul Thomas Anderson, my husband and I knew we had wanted to see the Pink Palace in person. On our first visit, we instantly fell in love with the location and history, and we began speculating what it would be like to have a destination wedding there… Little did we know we would actually pull that off two years in February 2020 to the day after our first visit.
At the Royal, we worked with Banquet Manager Bill Hedgepeth, who realized our dream better than we could. Bill and wedding planner Laura Lewis of Parasol Events worked together to get us the suite of our dreams to stage our pre-wedding preparation, and also planned a delicious banquet buffet that didn’t break the bank. Bill also worked around our dream location, helping us nab the coveted ocean-front lawn garden space for the entire day.
While the Royal does not allow Open Bar events, the Banquet Captains kept us honest at our Host Bar and alerted us when the threshold we set to shift to the cash bar was met. Everyone was pleasant, professional and warm. Every single one of our guests was not only impressed with the venue, but also the delicious regional Hawaiian menu and the care of the staff. Our only regret was that we were having too good of a time to eat our own wedding meals, but I am sure had we asked staff to set something aside in our room for us, they would have.
