    Would book 1000X over!

    An absolute 5 star experience all around at Gannon's! I cannot believe such a perfect wedding venue exists! The staff were the best I've ever experienced in my life, period. They were so attentive from the start of the day to the very end. The moment a glass became even partially empty they were on it. My guests did not stop raving about the service at my wedding for days. Everybody was absolutely shocked about how amazing everyone was. I was amazed by how attentive they were to my decor being set up. Down to the napkin shape, (thank you Steven). Every detail was excellent.
    The food was phenomenal and Bev's crab dip had everybody talking for days!...

    Extremely pleased. Perfect Venue and delicious food!

    Gannon’s was absolutely perfect for our wedding ceremony and reception. They blew all of our expectations away!

    The Wedding Knoll has gorgeous scenery and is just absolutely breath taking. They have a backup plan for rainy days and that area is beautiful as well. I would not have been upset or disappointmented at all if it rained.

    Cocktail hour was on the lower lawn and our guests had a blast!

    Now here is where it gets really great...Our guests LOVED the food! During cocktail hour, servers came around with our selection of Hors d’oeuvre’s (crab stuffed mushrooms, lobster deviled eggs, ahi poke lettuce cups, Garlic beef crostini, grilled brochette ciabatta). Everyone loved the everything!

    Gannon's was wonderful. We booked this venue for our Reception, having never visited it. We showed up earlier in the week and had an appt. with their WC, Susan. She was amazing and set the table exactly as we wanted.

    Gannons was an amazing venue for our wedding. The view was stunning, food was amazing and cooked to perfection. Our guests kept mentioning how tasty it was. The staff did a wonderful job and throughout the entire planning process Susan was very responsive to all my questions. Wish I could do it all again.

    This venue was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator for the sunset wedding we had envisioned. I was skeptical at first because the photos online weren't very recent. However, once we got there my husband and I were pleasantly surprised! We got the Upper Pond area. The entrance was grand and inviting. It was private and had beautiful scenery. Have I mentioned that the price was quite affordable for the location (Wailea area)? Great service, amazing food, can't go wrong with this venue.

    Had our wedding at Gannon's this past May - one of the best decisions of my life. Picture-perfect scenery, heavenly staff, and the food equated to one of the best meals I've ever had. Sarah C. was our wedding planner/coordinator - couldn't have become the dream wedding it was without her. She is so incredibly talented, kind-hearted, and dependable, I'm still in shock at how perfectly she executed the wedding. Sarah has become one of my most favorite people, and that's something I don't say often.

    We were married there in 2015. It was everything we wanted and then some. Beautiful setting at sunset; great food; wonderful planning/coordination services, including referrals to vendors (flowers and photography especially were fantastic); and a perfect event.

    We had our wedding at Gannon's Restaurant on June 8, 2016, and we wouldn't have done it anywhere else! Till this day, I still can't get over how AMAZING THE OCEAN VIEW is from Gannon's.
    My husband and I live in Toronto, and we decided to have a destination wedding on Maui. My husband and I had never been to Hawaii before our wedding, so we can only decide on the venue from the pictures we've seen on the internet and the reviews people write about. Working with wedding planning service vendor Maui's Angels, we decided that Gannon's Restaurant is the best venue with the BEST VALUE. We honestly didn't expect how good of a value it actually...

    We booked Gannon's for our wedding reception, and Susan was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Planning a destination wedding is always difficult just because you can't be there in person, but Susan put me at ease. She was prompt with answering all my questions and had great suggestions for things I hadn't even thought about. The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the whole evening went smoothly. Highly recommend!

    We booked Gannon's for our wedding, and Sarah was FANTASTIC. She was one of the two (including my videographer) expenses that I do not regret spending on. Sarah responded to us right away with answers to any questions we had, and made herself available whenever we needed her. She received items for us that we had shipped, and even ensured our vision for our centerpieces unfolded beautifully. She met with us when we arrived on the island to show us the place, and walked us through our ceremony (pointing out all the options just in case). She is the sweetest, most caring, and professional person I met on the island. On the day of, she was like a ninja...

    We had our truly perfect and dream worthy Maui wedding here on March 1, 2015, booked the lower lawn for our wedding sight unseen after extensive internet research. Gorgeous grounds (brides heed the warning about that steep hill coming down to your excitedly waiting soon to be husband, had to clutch onto my dad for dear life while in platform heels!) and the most astoundingly exquisite surf and turf mahi-mahi and filet of beef double entree. Usually serving banquets the fish is dry and the beef overdone, I don't know what magic elves are in the Gannon's kitchen but the execution was flawless. Chose Gannon's also because we were so impressed with chef Bev Gannon's extraordinary meals at Joe's...

    Where do we begin? It was all so amazing!

    I’ll start with the process. Amazing wedding coordination! We started with 1 Wedding Coordinator and just a few months before the actual event, she left the position and we transitioned to a new Wedding Coordinator. We were nervous about the change but Sarah worked very hard to reassure us that there would be no hiccups with the event, and she was correct! She worked tirelessly to ensure she captured our vision and every detail was perfect. Sarah Cravalho is an amazing Wedding Coordinator and we are so very blessed she was a part of our special day!

    Every single vendor we selected from Gannon’s list of preferred vendors...

    We booked Gannon's for our ceremony and reception. It was absolutely beautiful! The wedding coordinator, Susan, was a pleasure to do business with. She made everything easy, even down to helping me create a custom cake (which turned out delicious AND gorgeous!)
    The food was scrumptious, and the wait staff were helpful and attentive to my guests. Would definitely recommend.

    We used Gannons for both our ceremony (lower Knoll) and reception venue (Lower Lawn). We also used their co-ordinator Sarah with the ceremony package. Sarah was the most lovely and amazing person and worth every cent!! I highly recommend her to make your day easier. She went absolutely over and above. I cannot express how happy we were with her service and advice and happiness to answer our many queries. She was a total ray of sunshine! Susan at Gannons was wonderful too and again was more than happy to be contacted and to respond to and meet our many requests. She even sourced a corn hole game for our guests to enjoy and set extra places at our...

    We recently got married at Gannons and it was an absolutely perfect day! Sarah, the in-house wedding coordinator, is incredible and takes cares of all of the details. We did not have to worry about a thing the entire day. Additionally, the staff that is there on the day of the wedding is attentive and professional. The food and drinks were also wonderful. All in all, we would not have changed a thing. If it weren't for the crappy Canadian dollar, this would have been a very inexpensive wedding, which is an added bonus.

    Gannon's was a beautiful venue and was the perfect backdrop for our Hawaiin wedding. It was a rocky start with the communication as e-mail response was a bit on the slow side for an anxious bride. Overall though they proved to come through with a perfect ceremony. Nicole the wedding coordiniator was very delightful to work with as well.

    Our guests loved the views (lower lawn), but could NOT stop talking about how amazing the food and the cake was!

    We served the braised ribs with coconut cream fish. It was amazing and we wish we could eat it again!!

    Our cake was a chocolate cake with lilikoi (passionfruit) filling and vanilla buttercream. I've never enjoyed cake at anyone's wedding before but this was different. Guests confessed to going and finding pieces that other guests were not eating (due to dancing) and polished those off as well!

    Our reception needed to be moved indoors due to rain but they were flexible and set up a beautiful space and our outdoor/garden dance floor was tons of fun.

    All of my interactions with Susan Jencks, the coordinator were 100% positive. She was super responsive and really went above and beyond -- helping me with printing my personalized menus, etc. I rated this reception venue poorly because the service I received on the day of my wedding was definitely below par and the day of the wedding the staff were not very responsive (it was Mother's Day and I think they were slammed). I don't agree with how they handled their rain call policy that day and the head waiter was passive aggressive and not courteous. The food service was slow. However, the food was DELICIOUS and the cake was both beautiful and DELICIOUS.

    Truly Horrific Experience

    We canceled our reception at Gannons approximately 6 weeks before the event because of Susan. So much to write about my recent experience with Susan Jencks, it won't fit in the comment section. For more details email me at forneyluv@gmail.com

    Worst staff ever

    SUSAN JENCKS WILL SIT BEHIND HER DESK, NOT RESPOND TO YOUR EMAILS, HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING YOUR MONEY AND NOT RESOLVE ANY ISSUES THAT ARISE. I find it very unfortunate that I have to write this review. I very rarely write reviews and the ones I do write are for amazing service. I cannot wait to write my photographer, makeup artist, DJ, etc a spectacular review. However I cannot say the same about the Gannon's staff. Let me start by saying, Susan requires that you hire a coordinator as she does not coordinate wedding, yet has no problem charging her own coordination fee. Actually, she wants nothing to do with the actual wedding as her office is off site...
