Filene Wedding
Colleen was amazing through the whole process. Since there was no rooms or restaurants ready becasue of Ian, we had to get a permit to have a tent on the beach. We went through a lot of hopps to get it approved and once we did it all came together to be a perfect day. The whole Lani Kai family and crew made our day truly beautiful. We are forever grateful for the love we were shown. Would recommend Colleen and crew for any wedding or party. They make it exactly what you want.Colleen was amazing through the whole process.

Very Affordable & Beautiful Venue
Colleen and Diane were very helpful throughout the entire process. I lost my mom 2 months before the wedding and I felt totally lost, Colleen made sure I didn't miss a beat and stepped in to make sure I was not forgetting anything. They provided me with an excellent vendor list and I would highly recommend getting your cake from Publix as it was absolutely delicious. The photographer Chris Kovaz took some amazing photos and DJ Keith was super sweet and very accommodating to my guest song requests. We went with the Hawaiian food option and the food did not disappoint! Our guests raved about the food, very delicious. For us and all of our guests this was a destination wedding and we booked site unseen, we took the chance and it paid off. Overall it was very affordable, our guest loved the atmosphere, the view and the food. We're happy with how everything turned out. Thank you Colleen & Diane for all your help and for making our day a memorable one.Colleen and Diane were very helpful throughout the entire process.

Amazing Experience
We met Colleen when we stayed at the Lani Kai and it was such a blessing. She made us so comfortable and excited to plan our wedding with her. She made the planning process so smooth and the wedding went off without a hitch! She took some amazing photos and the decor was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend having Colleen and her mom plan your wedding because you won’t find anyone better. She feels like family!

The Wedding We Wanted
When we went about planning our destination wedding we knew we wanted it simple, casual and hassle free. Colleen helped with every part of it. All the way from Minnesota we let Colleen know what we wanted and she made it a great experience. We highly recommend Lani Kai Resort for any wedding.When we went about planning our destination wedding we knew we wanted it simple, casual and hassle free. Colleen helped with every part of it.

The best location and Staff
I don’t know if I can truly put into words how amazing our wedding was. Colleen is by far the most amazing wedding planner you could ever have! She is with you through every step she makes it completely stress free, I was able to enjoy the whole process and the entire day. I highly recommend having your beach wedding and ceremony at Lani Kai and having your guests able to stay right there and not having to worry about driving from one place to another! The staff through the whole location was amazing. Now let me tell you about the food! We had the Hawaiian luau buffet and all of my guests raved on how the taste was so delicious! It was by far the best wedding food. Again if you are looking for a tropical wedding look no further than here at Lani Kai Island ResortI don’t know if I can truly put into words how amazing our wedding was.

Exceptional Reception at Lani Kai
If you want all the pieces of your wedding celebration to fall beautifully together, go to the Lani Kai and ask for Wedding and Event Coordinator Colleen Otto. Colleen will communicate with you throughout the process and think of all the things you’ve forgotten or didn’t even know you needed. Our reception in the Sabal Palm room had an ocean view with a beautiful sunset, a private patio, delicious food, and a lovely built-in bar with a friendly bartender! My family wanted a picture-perfect reception for my niece’s wedding, and we got it at the Lani Kai for an affordable price. The smile on my niece’s face said it all. Hats off to Colleen colleagues!

Amazing Wedding Services
We had an amazing time traveling down to Florida for our wedding. Colleen and her mom helped make the day as amazing as possible and exactly how we wanted it to be. We didn’t have to do much as they gave us a list of vendors for anything we could possibly need and all we’re amazing as well. Pictures don’t do it justice for how amazing our day was. They set up and tore down, created the center pieces and even decorated the arc to match the colors we chose.We had an amazing time traveling down to Florida for our wedding.

Imperfectly Perfect!!!
We had our wedding at the Lani Kai. Let me tell you... Colleen and Diane are the absolute best!!! From start to finish they were so very attentive to all of our wants and needs and tried their very best to accommodate everything we suggested.
Although some things were out of their control (weather😭)They still made every attempt to try to wait it out til the very end hoping that the rain would take a break. Sadly, it did not and we were forced to have our ceremony inside. They still made everything so special and beautiful. They even decorated an alternate arch that me and my soon to be husband could stand under. For that I will always be grateful and appreciative to these two beautiful women!! Everyone needs a Colleen and Diane to help coordinate their wedding!!!We had our wedding at the Lani Kai. Let me tell you... Colleen and Diane are the absolute best!!!
