    Breathtaking Venue

    Loulu Palm Farm Estate was absolutely breathtaking and the perfect place for our wedding. I had only done a virtual tour beforehand, and while it looked beautiful online, it is even better in person—truly stunning and it did not disappoint at all.
    The vendor list provided by the venue is excellent, and I’ve been getting amazing feedback from our guests, as well as from people who have only seen our videos and photos. Everyone keeps saying how gorgeous the location is.
    Adding Ashley as our wedding coordinator was hands down the best decision we made. She is a must. Ashley helped me so much throughout the planning process, always answering questions and guiding us every step of the way. On the wedding day, when our baker completely forgot to make our wedding cake, Ashley immediately stepped in, coordinated a replacement cake, secured us a full refund, and truly advocated for us. She even encouraged the baker to send an apology gift—we ended up finding a treat box waiting for us at our hotel after the wedding.
    Ashley went above and beyond, and her support made all the difference. Loulu Palm Farm Estate is a gorgeous venue, and with the right coordinator, it becomes an unforgettable experience. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

    Authentic Hawai'i

    There are no words for how beautiful this venue truly is. For those looking to embrace the true mana of Hawai'i, you'll get a backdrop of beautiful mountains, palms, and sea. We also used rentals through the venue that helped streamline the coordination of the event. Less stress is better! We did not feel anything was missing from our day.

    Ashley Fennell, coordinator -- We used Ashley for full year planning, and I cannot stress enough how truly incredible she is. Attentive, organized, responsive, KIND. She loves her job and is dedicated to making your special day the best you'll ever have. Friends and family couldn't stop saying "best wedding ever" and that's because of her. She has endless contacts and all of our vendors also stated how much they love working with her. I couldn't even muster stress on my wedding day because I knew she would handle everything. Every star goes to her!!

    Dream Venue and Dream Team!

    We are so grateful for everything that made our wedding day absolutely perfect! From the very first conversation with our day-of coordinator, Ashley, we hit it off—it felt like talking to a friend we had known for years. As first-time wedding planners relying heavily on Google, we were nervous about the process, but Ashley guided us through everything, answered all our questions, and made time for us whenever we needed. On the day itself, she made everything run flawlessly, handled every detail behind the scenes, and even came prepared with a Tide pen when I had a stain on my dress! Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel completely at ease, and it honestly felt like she was part of our family.

    Loulu Palms was the venue of our dreams, with breathtaking ocean views, lush greenery, and a serene, romantic atmosphere that created the perfect backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Nickie, our venue contact, was wonderful to work with—kind, accommodating, and so attentive to every detail. Everything came together seamlessly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the space was.

    We couldn’t imagine a more beautiful venue or a more caring, capable coordinator to bring our wedding vision to life. Ashley and Loulu Palms (with Nickie’s guidance) truly made our day magical, and we cannot recommend them highly enough!

    Dream Wedding

    Our wedding at Loulu Palm was an absolute dream come true. The venue is breathtaking — intimate, peaceful, and perfectly set right by the beach. It gave us the magical, tropical atmosphere we always wanted.

    Nickie was a joy to work with. She was super helpful throughout the planning process, especially when it came to coordinating all of our rentals and paperwork. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made a huge difference, and we always felt supported.

    Ashley, our full wedding planner, was a total lifesaver. As very Type B people who hate planning, we were dreading the process — but Ashley made it easy, organized, and even fun. She kept us on track with monthly and weekly check-ins and handled every detail with care. She created a detailed timeline and made sure everything was lined up perfectly — and we never once felt overwhelmed. She went above and beyond to make sure we had our vision come to life.

    The day of the wedding was seamless — everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment without stress. Ashley took care of everything behind the scenes, and it showed. Hire her!

    We’re beyond grateful for Ashley, Nickie, and the entire team at Loulu Palm. Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding!

    Beautiful venue and amazing staff!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience having our wedding at Loulu Palm. From the moment we toured the venue, we felt such a warm and welcoming energy from the staff, and our wedding day turned out to be everything we dreamed of, we wouldn’t change a single thing. Whenever I had a question, Nickie was always quick to respond by phone or email and was so helpful throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Ashley, our day of coordinator, made everything seamless and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking, and our guests are still raving about how stunning it was!

    Private and intimate

    My partner and I got married at Loulu palm a few weeks ago and we are so incredibly grateful for Ashley and everything she did to make our wedding day run smoothly. From the very beginning, she was professional, calm, and reassuring, and she truly stepped up in every way possible—especially when it came to all the last-minute changes.

    No matter what unexpected issue came up, Ashley handled it with grace and confidence. She coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, managed the wedding equipment arrangements, and made sure every detail was accounted for. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes.

    Ashley’s dedication, communication, and ability to stay composed under pressure truly made a difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better lead coordinator. Thank you, Ashley, Nickie and staff for helping us bring everything together and for being such a calm and reliable presence during such an important moment in our lives.

    With gratitude,
    Christine & KC

    An absolute dream wedding venue

    I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Loulu Palms along with Nickie and Ashley. We had our wedding here 9/19/24 and it was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. From the very beginning (I booked them in September of 2023) they were extremely prompt with responses and any questions I had they were so helpful with answering. Nickie was wonderful throughout the entire process.
    The venue/ grounds speak for itself because come on you can see how incredibly gorgeous it already is but yet somehow they found a way to make it even more stunning and made my wedding vision come to life. They have everything you need to rent and could want, and if they don't they can easily direct you to where you can. They made everything from rehearsal, to set up, to day of so incredibly easy and smooth. I 10/10 recommend them and would get married here all over again if I could.
    Now onto Ashely. I COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT HAVE made it through my wedding week/ day without her. From our first conversation on the phone while I was deciding which day of coordinator to go, we clicked immediately. Whenever I reached out with a mini crisis or question through out the entire process she was so quick to respond and was so incredibly helpful no matter what it was about. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every single second of our wedding because I knew she was there handling everything. She understood my vision and executed it PERFECTLY. You can tell some people are made to be in this industry and she with her beautiful soul is absolutely one of them. She's such a gem of a human. I promise you, you will NOT regret going with Nickie, Ashely, and the entire Ohana at Loulu Palm. We cannot wait to go back and visit.

    Best Day Ever.

    We got married at Loulu Palm on September 14th 2024 and it was everything we dreamed of...and then some! From the first moment we stepped foot on Loulu we knew it was the one for us. But that was just the beginning- because shortly after meeting Nickie, we then met with Ashley (the best wedding coordinator on planet earth). Again, after just a couple minutes of chatting with her, we knew she was such a perfect fit for us and felt like we had already known her for years. So it wasn't even a question for us- but if it is for you- my advice would be to just do it. Without Ashley, our special day would not have even come close to how perfect everything was. Not to mention all the weeks and months leading up to it- I love how she always kept it real with us throughout the entire process (with timelines, vendor recommendations, design, layout, cost, etc), but with the most warmth and grace one could possibly have. Ashley is now our dear friend and we cannot wait to come back to visit one of our favorite places. 10/5 stars on both Ashley and Nickie and Loulu Palms!!!!

    PERFECT venue for the most perfect day

    We had our wedding at Loulu Palm on June 14, 2024. We booked our venue before we got to see it in person, and it was even more beautiful than we thought it would be! The greenery, the ocean, and the privacy was just perfect for our special day. The backdrop of all of our photos and videos was just perfect. The size of the venue is perfect because it is big enough to have the grand, beautiful vibe, while still feeling so intimate. Nickie and Ashley were both so helpful and welcoming. We really felt so special on our wedding day.
    You absolutely have to book Ashley as your coordinator! She is AMAZING! My wedding day was PERFECT and I was able to have so much fun and enjoy it thanks to Ashley. I did not have to worry for one second because she had everything handled. She is truly a master of her craft. She loves what she does and it is so evident with the amount of work and care she pours into couples. I don’t know how anyone gets married without her! As soon as she stepped in for coordination, I had my full trust in her. She is organized, prompt, and just fun to talk to. I will keep in touch with Nickie and Ashley because we can’t wait to visit Loulu Palm again for an anniversary trip!

    Destination wedding!

    Words cannot describe how amazing of a wedding my husband and I had here at loulu palms. We have never been to Hawaii and were planning a destination wedding. I found loulu palm and thought it was a gorgeous venue. Let me tell you, it’s WAY better in person! It’s beautiful. From the mountain-y vibe to the beach vibe your views are amazing. Nickie was so kind and helpful and during the whole process she was very responsive and accommodating. Ashley Fennell was our wedding coordinator and she was amazing. From the first phone conversation with her to the end of the wedding night. I truly could’nt have done it without her! She was so down to earth and sweet. EVERYONE in my family adored her. She did everything for me and I just seriously cannot get over this venue, the owner, and my coordinator! I had the wedding of my dreams here, I only wish I could come back and relive it all.

    Our Wedding Dreams Come True!

    Our first trip as a couple was to Hawaii and we immediately fell in love with the culture, people, beautiful scenery and much more! So when we got engaged it was without question that we had to have a destination wedding in Hawaii! We made a trip out to meet up with a few venues so we could decide who to choose from. However, Loulu was the first and last tour we did. Lynn was so nice and showed us around. The second we hit the corner to the backyard, the view completely took our breath away. We loved how spacious it was, all the gorgeous greenery, the calmness of the beach. We knew we found our venue and did not need to look further. We worked with Nickie to book the venue. She was so informative and easy to work with. We were then introduced to Ashley, our wedding coordinator. We had our initial chat through with her and right after we got off the phone, we both agreed that we had to have her as our coordinator. Ashley is one of the most genuine people we have met. She truly cares about her couples and gives different options to meet your interests. If you had any questions or concerns no matter how you contacted her via phone, text, email she would respond so quick! We honestly were not as stressed as I felt I should have been going through this wedding planning process because working with Ashley was so seamless. She also gave great recommendations for vendors which we believe really completed the entire vibe of our wedding! Day of wedding was everything we could have imagined and more! Thanks Loulu team for making our vision and dream come to life!

Ashley Fennel was an amazing day of coordinator and did a fantastic job of bringing our wedding day together. We got so many compliments on the venue!

    I Do in Paradise

    I could not have found a better place to have our wedding at. The venue was beautiful since we arrived. Greenery started since the gate with flowers everywhere and the sound of the wave! I'm not going to lie I burst out in tears when we walked throw the back doors and I saw the whole thing in person for the first time!! From booking to planning to the actual day everything was smooth and stress free. We were on a tight budget and Ashley made it possible to still have a wedding in paradise and not burn a whole in our pockets. She made it so easy and fun. When we got there the day off even though we were running a bit late she made me fell calm and relaxed she kept telling me not to worry and that she had everything covert and she sure did!! We had a whole room to get ready the room was a good size and it was just me getting ready in it. It did have AC which was PERFECT! One thing I would recommend it use the whole day! We had it from 11 am to 11 pm but didn't start until 4 pm so I would say have an early ceremony so you don't have to rush anything and just enjoy the time!
    We had the following Vendors:

    Bartender: Recommend by Ashley Issac (He was the BEST and every one loved him)

    DJ: David Asing (I was a little upset with him because he messed up our first dance but we just went with it. I'm sure there was just some miscommunication he was pretty basic but it was good for the cheap price, we also got the fire dancers and drum players with him which were GREAT but they were 2 hours late and even though we paid for 15 min I'm positive they weren't even there for 10 min, but over all the guys were great and our guest LOVED the surprise.

    Catering: Keneke's Bluesky catering(also in the recommendation from Ashley) (I have not express how AMAZING THE FOOD WAS!!!! And not to mention within our budget!! I had made so many changes and Carmela was the one who helped me every step of the way!! They even let us take the left overs home and the staff was great!! Seriously everyone kept telling us how this was the only wedding they had every gone to that had GREAT food!! We had the following;
    Keneke's "Sit Down Serve" Wedding Special
    1 Meat Choice: Hibachi White Meat Chicken
    4 Pupu Choices:
    1. Shoyu Poke 2. Mango Chicken Skewers
    3. BBQ Pork Skewers 4. Shrimp Cocktail
    1 Salad Choice: American Iceberg (can we get Ranch with this)
    1 Bread/Roll Choice: Traditional Butter Rolls
    2 Starch Choices:
    1.Garlic Red Potatoes 2. Yakisoba

    Wedding Day of Coordinator: Ashley Fennell (AMAZING)

    Wedding Officiant: Kalona Ortiz, she was great and I was able to create the whole ceremony from drafts she gave me. Also for a good price

    Cake: A Cake Life, the cake was a little more expensive than what I was hopping for especially since it was a small 2 tier cake. BUT it was so worth it and they got it SPOT ON to what the picture I had send them and the flavor was ALL there besides me only getting ONE bite for the picture it was amazing and everyone kept saying so. We had the (1) 2 tier cake small serves 20-30 Round 6" vanilla chocolate marble cake with chocolate cream and fresh raspberry filling Round 8" yellow butter cake with fresh strawberry cream filling. Shades of teal smooth-ish/ stucco-ish buttercream icing

    We kept it super simple and didn't do much decorating as the location itself was enough! Don't worry so much about the materialism or decorations just focus on the love in the air and having your loved ones there to celebrate your love!!

    Say yes to this location

    I do not have enough words to fully describe Ashley’s positive impact on the planning of our wedding, the wedding week and day of the wedding. From our first call to our first meeting I felt like I had a best friend or sister (minus the drama) helping me plan every little detail.

    Her calm and confident voice is worth every penny for those who might be anxious in planning their wedding. For those who have no idea what they want (which was us) she has so many good prompting questions, amazing vendor contacts that you can really window shop with as you get clearer on your vision.

    When I first met Ashley in person- a hug immediately occurred and with my last wave goodbye to her I promised I will return to Hawaii to meet up for a margarita if she will have me! I not only felt 1000% supported and guided through this whole process but so did my partner. He just as much as me could not give her enough praise- along with the vendors she connected us with.

    If you are in doubt over your flowers, cake or venue - I can not point you. If you are in need of a wedding planner I can- Its Ashley Fennell!

    A magical wedding venue!

    Loulu Palm is such a special place and made all of our wedding dreams come true! I loved working with Nickie throughout the whole process and she was so patient and accommodating with helping us to finalize our wedding rental inventory list. There are very few places on island where you are able to have both an ocean view on one end, and some of the mountains behind you on the other - it is truly a magical place for beautiful memories to be made!

    Dream Wedding Finally

    Having our wedding at Loulu Palm was a dream. We were originally supposed to have our wedding in June 2020. Due to the pandemic we ending up having to reschedule multiple times. Our coordinator Linda, was amazing throughout the whole process and stuck with us even when everything was chaos with covid. Finally having our wedding this November was more than we imagined. All of our guests had a blast and said it was the the best wedding they had been to. I would say so much of that was due to how beautiful the venue is and how Linda helped us find the best vendors. Using her coordination meant so much less work for us and she recommended the vendors she works with all the time that know the venue well. She also helped us find ways to save money and stay on budget. If you’re leaning towards a Hawaii destination wedding this is the best hands down venue you can find. You get the views of the beach but the privacy that you won’t get at a hotel or resort. All of the staff at Loulu Palm are so friendly and want to make it the day of your dreams. 100% recommend to anyone looking at a Hawaii wedding. You will not be disappointed.

    Amazingly perfect !!!!

    I read some reviews and I honestly couldn’t disagree more. This venue has EVERYTHING! The beauty, the beach, the weather, the history and also was rustic yet modern with such an aloha vibe. You can get your venue, coordinator and equipment/ decor from the same place. Ashley Fennell was my coordinator and she was absolutely amazing. All my guest complimented how great and easy she made everything feel. She wasn’t scared to get the boys in line and listening, she honestly felt like family and treated us the same. She made all my stress and worry feel easy and effortless on my day. Truly a special place and every single 90 guest I had on this destination wedding won’t stop telling me how perfect it all was ! If I could relive my wedding everyday there I would without hesitation!

    Our dream wedding came true!

    Loulu Palms Farm Estate made our dream wedding come to life. Working with their management team and booking or event was so fast and hassle free. We gave them or specific layout and design set up and they made it happen with any issues. Their team and event set up crew were so fast and professional. The MVP of our wedding definitely goes to our weddings coordinator, Mrs. Linda Kress. She was so fun and easy to work with. When my wife and I stressed out she was there to calm us down and handle everything thing for us. Whenever an issue arised she always had a plan B and C ready to go. I just want to thank again Linda and the Loulu Palms team for a wedding my wife and I will never forget.

    Highly recommend! Wonderful location

    We had our wedding at Loulu Palm in July and it was an amazing experience that we will remember forever; We were blown away by this place. The venue is very beautiful and serene on the north shore of Oahu that is far enough away from anything that it more or less has its own private beach. Our coordinator was Ashley, who was extremely helpful and with us 100% throughout the process. We planned the wedding from Texas, so we relied heavily on her recommendations for other vendors making the entire experience smooth and absolutely wonderful. She was extremely easy to work with and we had no issues at all. We highly recommend Loulu Palms & Ashley for anyone looking to have their wedding here.

    Smooth, easy, and communicative!

    Linda Kress was a perfect fit for our wedding. She made everything run smoothly and we never felt stressed or as if we needed to step in and fix anything. Because of her and her team we were able to relax and truly enjoy the whole day. She helped up cut costs in areas we didn't care about and put it into areas we did. She was communicative and fun and we are thrilled that we made a friend of her as well. Would definitely recommend her for any of your wedding planning needs!

    Spectacular Venue and Island's BEST Coordinator

    I decided to use Loulu Palm for my wedding venue and the pictures do not do this venue justice. The views are breathtaking. I also decided to use Linda Kress as my Day of Coordinator for my October 2021 wedding. I want to start out by saying Linda made my husband and me feel like we were family from the first moment we spoke to each other! She is patient, kind, thoughtful and always found a way to make me feel at ease. Planning a wedding during the uncertainty of a pandemic was probably one of the most difficult tasks I have conquered in my life. I was also a nervous wreck with deciding how to navigate a wedding with Hawaii’s change in wedding guest requirements during the pandemic. But Linda took all of my fears away by creating potential scenarios as well as a timeline for each. She was also always quick to respond via email or text. Linda also, found a way to help me stay under budget. On the day of wedding, Linda and her team kept everyone on schedule, she made accommodations for each vendor, and she always made sure my husband and I remembered to eat throughout the day! I would 10/10 recommend Linda, don’t even waste your time looking for anyone else.

    The wedding of our dreams!!!

    We chose Loulu Palm as our wedding venue because of the amazing view and location. What made it even better was having Linda Kress as our wedding coordinator. Planning to have my wedding back home, while living in Austin TX, was a bit of a challenge. Not to mention the 5hr time zone difference and the uncertainties of the ongoing pandemic. But Linda has been such a blessing through all of it, being very flexible and resourceful, constantly checking in to make sure we were on top of everything. She gave so many awesome suggestions and helpful tips to keep within our budget. Linda and her assistants also definitely put in the manual labor on the day of, too; making sure the decorations and equipment were all perfect. And even bringing my husband and I pupus while we took formal photos, so we didn't miss out on any of it during the cocktail hour. The vendors (Keneke's, Cortney Crane Events, Akahi Productions, Red Ring Media, Reveal Hair and Makeup, etc.) she recommend were also spectacular! Hearing my friends and family rave over the execution of the wedding and the location was the cherry on top of such a tough year for so many of us. If I could have a wedding here again and again, I would!!! (Photos attached are by Schyne Photography).

    An Intimate Day at an Otherworldly Venue…With the Help of a Kick-Ass Wedding Planner

    Our special day at Loulu Palm was nothing short of amazing, thanks in large part to our wedding planner, Linda Kress. Linda was everything (and more) we could have ever asked for in a wedding planner. She was chock full of creative ideas and solutions to help turn our disparate—often incoherent—visions and daydreams for our big day into a reality. She gave us honest recommendations on the vendors, furniture, equipment, etc. she thought were best suited for our event – frequently checking in with us along the way to ensure we stayed within the confines of our budget and helping us adjudicate our “ABSOLUTELY need-to-haves” and our “nice-to-haves.” She kept us on task – often, and I mean often (because we needed it), reminding us to reach out to “so and so” vendor” by “so and so” date to ensure we got “so and so” done. She was on it! But what we appreciated most about Linda was her character. She was warm, kind, funny, and easy to talk to (traits that helped neutralize the inevitable stresses and “what-ifs” that arise when planning a wedding). She truly embodies what it means to live with “Aloha Spirit.” We had the pleasure of getting to know Linda very well over more than a year period, as state-issued COVID restrictions forced us to postpone our wedding, then required that we scale down our guest list. When my wife and I ultimately opted to use the venue for a 5-hour long “styled photoshoot” instead of a full-on ceremony & reception (we had snuck in a small, intimate, wedding on the mainland by this point), Linda was fully supportive and helpful in hearding our boutique furniture and cake vendors in place to provide cool settings & props for our shoot.

    Loulu Palm is your quintessential vintage Hawaiian plantation getaway, replete with an indescribable unique character and feel. The venue is flanked by a pristine private beach on one side and views of a densely forested mountain range on the other. A long stretch of well-manicured grass and palm trees populate the center. The site rests at a perfect vantage point to watch the world-famous North Shore sunsets. Can’t recommend this venue enough to prospective bride and grooms! Your guests will be mystified by this authentic-Hawaii atmosphere –a great respite from tourist-inundated Waikiki. Oh—and this probably goes without saying—but if you do choose Loulu Palm...also choose Linda Kress to serve as your wedding coordinator!

    MAGICAL! Definitely recommend!

    Linda and the Loulu Palm staff were so amazing to work with. We just had our wedding last week and we can't stop thinking about how beautiful the venue is and how effortless the staff made our special day seem. Linda, is the DOC but has helped in so many ways, from day 1. She listens, helps couples work within budget, is well connected, and can offer suggestions or alternatives to fit your needs. All the vendors and our guests can't stop raving about how perfect our night was. We hope to visit as guests at this incredible venue in the future. F I V E stars and a big mahalo nui to everyone who made our night unforgettable.

    Great customer service, incredible venue!

    I worked with Nickie at Loulu Palms and she was beyond amazing. I planned a ceremony to be held here on my own from the mainland and Nickie made the process a delight. We had great communication via email and phone and she made sure I had everything I needed. The estate is absolutely stunning. The pricing was incredibly reasonable and I believe this location is such a gem on this island. If you can snag a date for your wedding, definitely do it here! I can’t wait to come back for our anniversary. A huge thank you to Nickie and the incredible team at Loulu Palm!

    Absolutely perfect

    This venue and our wedding coordinator, Linda Kress, were an absolute DREAM. If you’re looking to get married in Hawaii stop here. It was far better than I could have even imagined. From the very first time I contacted Linda I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. She made great suggestions and was realistic about staying on our budget. She was attentive and helped walk me through every step of the planning and made the actual wedding day seamless and perfect. She kept a smile on my face and I always felt like she was in my corner. She even stayed in touch with us days after the wedding so that we could come plant a palm tree at the venue to give us an excuse to come visit. Thank you Linda for making our day so magical and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    As far as the venue... it was so stunning. We got married in front of the beach with the water in the backdrop. It was actually really nice because everyone didn’t have to get sandy unless they wanted to. The florals were so dreamy too. It was extra windy and a little rainy that day so Linda did some quick thinking and put our reception under this gorgeous tent with beautiful lighting. It really was so magical.

    Professional, but personal. Spacious, but intimate. Affordable, but glamorous.

    As the groom, all I could do in a lot of instances was watch my soon to be wife be stressed out. Our families were making it hard, our finances were making it hard, our anxiety was making it hard. But once we got off that plane and Linda came to see us face to face, that stress went away. The personal touch and attention she gave us was unlike anything I expected, and have never had before. She was prompt and professional, but kind and relatable. She not only kept our finances where they needed to be, but also gave us real talk about what we actually did and didn't need-all while keeping a smile on our faces. Throughout the whole process, she was there. She kept us on point, under budget, and overjoyed. She kept in contact with us via phone and text before, during the wedding she was always nearby for anything we needed, and even arranged for us to plant a tree at our venue days after the ceremony. There aren't enough good things I can say about her and her work ethic. Everything we needed, she supplied, and everything we didn't know we needed, she thought of. If you hate money and love stress, look elsewhere. But if you want everything to be perfect, cost efficient, and with a loving personal touch, this is the woman you want on your side.

    Now, the venue was absolutely perfect. It was spacious while still having a very intimate feel about it. The beach in one direction was immaculate. The mountains in the background of the other direction were breathtaking. And the trees and plants surrounding the venue were lush and beautiful. There was a hammock, lawn games, a fire pit and chairs. The arch they provided for the ceremony was lovely, the chairs for guests to sit in were comfortable and organized perfectly. Plenty of well maintained bathroom space was very important to me, and they definitely had that covered. The house and the suites for bride and groom were all temperature controlled and homey-just the thing stressed out bridal parties need. They were able to get us a clear tent set up for the reception which was amazing to be under when the rain came down. The DJ, bartenders, and food left everyone impressed and me and my wife stuffed, drunk, and happy. The venue was more perfect than I could have imagined, and the staff from head to toe was fun and professional. More importantly than anything else though, they made my wife happy and satisfied. By pleasing her, they pleased me, but the Loulu Palm Farm Estate went far above and beyond what was expected, and did far more than others could or would provide. If you're getting married, get married here. Itll be the best choice you can make.

    A magical event

    From the moment the private gates swing open, past the happily ever after swing, you are drawn through the property across the lawn, the beach and into the sunset in the ocean.

    It was an event that none of our guests will soon forget. They are leaning on us to go back every year to restate our vows as an excuse to re-live the dream.

    The most beautiful venue!

    My cousin got married at Loulu Palm a really long time ago and when I attended his wedding, I was in love with the venue and dreamt of getting married there one day so Loulu Palm was always at the top of my list when it was finally my turn. This was the perfect because I always wanted to get married on the beach but my husband didn't want to get married in the sand so this was a great compromise (if you can even call it a compromise). You get married with the ocean behind you and you also have all the beautiful Hawaii landscape around you, all in your own very private estate. This was a semi-destination wedding, we live in Los Angeles but a lot of my family is in Hawaii so hiring a coordinator was very necessary for me in order to do this from afar. I hired Linda Kress based on other recommendations and she did not disappoint! She is a MUST HIRE and some sort of wedding superhero. She is really on top of her game. She had great recommendations for vendors and she just made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. Definitely recommend the venue for a nice private ceremony and reception. The whole thing was really easy from start to finish as far as communication, setting up times to view the venue and meet with Linda etc. I also really liked having everything in one place. I wish I could do it all over again...the day, not the planning part :) We are still reliving our special day over and over again.

    Gem in a Rough

    Loulu Palm is gem in a rough. Heading down the north shore, you would not think that there was a beautiful place like Loulu. Coming from San Diego, we were very picky on the venues we looked at in Oahu. A lot of couples get married in Waikiki or Honolulu just to say they got married in Hawaii. The amount of money you spend having a wedding there can go a long way if you get married at Loulu. The day we took a tour of the place, we knew we wanted to get married here. We did go over our budget but it is well worth the money. Also, having Linda Kress (Day Of Coordinator) by our side the whole way made the whole experience even better. She's a "Day of Coordinator" but she is with you from the day you choose her till days after the wedding. We trusted her with all her suggestions and recommendations. She is a must in your wedding planning. You will not regret choosing Loulu Palms as your wedding venue. There were times that communication was a problem due to us being in the mainland during the process. But our questions were always answered in due time. My wife and I highly suggest Loulu Palms.

    Magical - Best Venue Ever

    Loulu Palm is magical. That is the one word that can be used to describe our wedding. It was everything we wanted and more. The venue itself is unbeatable. Whether you choose to do a tent or use the lanai or both, there is no place else like this. You have the freedom to do anything you like with the space to make it your perfect day. We booked the venue, sight unseen, and are so happy we did.

    We worked with Nickie to book and when we went for our first visit, we met Linda Kress, our wedding coordinator. Linda will make everything happen for you, and save you some money while doing it. She is thrifty, smart, experienced, and knows all the contacts to get you what you want. She will respond to all your emails, get on calls with you, and makes wedding planning seem easy. Our wedding day went so smoothly, without any hiccups, all because of Linda. I can't stress enough how wonderful Linda is.

    If you're thinking of having your wedding at Loulu Palm, I highly suggest you book the venue now and work with Linda to make your day the best day ever.

    Venue is pure magic. Linda Kress is even more exceptional.

    Loulu Palm is pure magic. Just look at the photos and the reviews below. Our July wedding exceeded our expectations (and they were high!) on every level.
    *
    Loulu Palm becomes *exceptional* when you include the expertise of Linda Kress. Choosing Linda, our “day of coordinator” —who should drop “day of” from her title because she’s a trusted partner from the very beginning—was *THE* best early decision we made. From her came a flood of trusted recommendations (nearly all our vendors came through her), a wealth of expertise and critical connections, especially when you’re planning a destination wedding from six time zones away.
    *
    We especially appreciate her creativity...both with decor and event needs AND with finding AFFORDABLE solutions to help us put on the event of our dreams (while staying within our budget). She consistently went above and beyond to help us, whether it was gathering decorations for our welcome picnic the day before our wedding or making sure our families were well-fed and comfortable. She did all this with a big smile and glowing enthusiasm.
    *
    Most importantly, Linda is a JOY to be around. Especially when planning a wedding (hello, that’s months and months of collaboration), it’s critical to have a partner you enjoy working with. Linda quickly became more than just our planner. She is our good friend and an extension of our family. Every time we head back to Oahu’s North Shore (which we hope is very often ;), Linda will always be among the first we call.
    *
    Thank you, Linda, for sharing your time and talent with us. Our greatest wish for other couples in planning-mode is that they have a strategic and creative partner as generous and talented as you!

    So fun and versatile!

    This venue is the best thing to happen since sliced bread. It's tucked away so well that you'll probably miss it on your way there, but once you get through the gate, it's like stepping into another world. The beachfront is amazing, the greenery is sprawling, and the building itself is so versatile. You can't make a bad photo here!

    Dream wedding come true!

    It has been over 3 months since my wedding and my husband and I are still in awe over this BEAUTIFUL venue. Loulu Palms encompassed everything we had hoped for on our wedding day – the gorgeous greenery, the lush landscape with the beautiful ocean waves cascading in the background. On top of that, Linda Kress was an absolute dream to work with. We knew we were in perfect hands from the day that we hired her. From all the e-mails and phone calls, Linda was always there for us, despite how busy wedding season can be. She made planning a breeze all the way from California and we loved all of the vendors she connected us too. On our wedding day, my bridal party and I had nothing to worry about aside from getting ready. Linda was amazing and we cannot thank her enough for such a magical day.

    Amazing beautiful venue

    Loulu Palm was the first and only venue that we looked at and we fell in love with it after viewing it in person. We booked it right away and the opener is amazing to work with, she’s very organized, personable, friendly and responsive. She was very helpful with us to plan our destination wedding. Our guests keep talking about how the location and wedding was perfect, we definitely recommend having a wedding there, especially anyone who is looking for a scenic beach view. We got married at the church and had our reception at Loulu Palm and we were still able to use their venue before our church ceremony started. Highly recommend this place.

    BEST Wedding Venue

    The best decision I ever made was deciding to have my wedding at Loulu Palms. The property is not only absolutely stunning but it is also a private property which means that your special day will just be about you and your partner and your guests; no tourists watching!

    The second best decision I ever made was hiring Linda Kress as my coordinator. Planning a destination wedding can be very difficult and worrisome but when you have Linda as your coordinator, you are in the best of hands. Not only is she the sweetest but she is also so creative and will do everything she can to make your day perfect!

    I HIGHLY recommend both Loulu Palms and Linda Kress for your big day... you will not regret it!! xoxo

    The perfect Venue and Coordinator

    We had our dream wedding at Loulu Palm in November 2018. Everything was just perfect, all I had ever dreampt of. A wedding by the beach, surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, cocktail style, outdoors and private. During my search for venues online from Australia I was beginning to think I may not be able to afford to have it in Hawaii. Then I found Loulu Palm and was introduced to Linda Kress (my wedding coordinator.) Linda took everything I wanted and put it together to fit into my budget. Without visiting the venue or meeting Linda in person there is a lot of trust involved. I went with all of Linda’s suggestions of vendors and none of them disappointed. She went above and beyond, you can trust in Linda that’s for sure! Cant recommend the venue and Linda enough if you are after a magical wedding in paradise. I also highly recommend Vjay our bar tender for keeping up with the Australian drinking demand in style, our DJ was great and Chelsea Stratso our amazing photographer who took the best wedding photos I have ever seen. Thank you Linda!!

    Ah-mazing, thank you loulu palm

    Words can not describe what a wonderful wedding experience we had at Loulu Palm. It is a very special place that we will hold in our hearts forever.
    We first came across LouLu Palm after researching many wedding venue locations in Hawaii, from there we decided to visit a few shortlisted venues. Once we stepped foot on the grounds of LouLu Palm that was simply it for us.
    From our first meeting with Nickie to the absolutley wonder that is Linda Kress (our wedding coordinator), our dealings with the team at LouLu Palm made our experience exciting, stress free and simply amazing. Coordinating a wedding with a very demanding job and being based in Sydney was tricky; however Linda was always available to answer our every need. Linda took the time to understand who we were as a couple and with this aligned the best vendors in regards to catering, music, floras etc. We are BIG foodies so catering was a key part to our wedding, we worked with Ke Nui Kitchen on a semi bespoke menu. Everyone is still raving about the food. Wylder Florals organised our floral designs, once again, no words can describe how creative and amazing Cortney Crane was, she delivered our dream.
    I would be more than happy to continue to gush over LouLu Palm and Linda, please reach out if you need anymore information about our wedding, happy to provide.

    Long Distance Relationship - NYC to Hawaii

    Yuki and I are a couple from New York City (5,000 miles away!) and we were looking to get married back to where my wife was born, Hawaii. At first, I was a little hesitant because of my style of face-to-face interaction with our vendors--so we booked a trip to Hawaii a year prior to meet with our potential partners.

    Once we met with Linda Kress, it was a done deal. She was professional, personable (very genuine and sweet), and one of the most helpful people during our journey into marriage. We knew right away that she would be a big part of our wedding. With her help, numerous voice calls, as well as the assurance that we were pacing according to our wedding date--we were able to pull of the wedding of our dreams at the Loulu Palm Estate. Distance did not matter with her guidance.

    Honestly, of all the investments we had with our big day, Linda and the Loulu Palm had the best return. If you want the best, look no further than Linda and her team.

    Beautiful private venue with amazing coordinator

    This has been long overdue but needed to highly recommend this beautiful venue along with our amazing day of coordinator, Linda Kress. My husband and I decided to get married on the infamous wedding day of this year, 8/18/2018. We wanted a destination wedding and booked Loulu Palm a year and a half in advance and we have no regrets. The venue is perfect especially if you are looking for a private ceremony and reception by the beach. Knowing we had a very popular wedding date, we didn’t want to take a risk of booking at a hotel with multiple weddings happening all at the same time. We wanted the private venue with the beach and Aloha vibes for our 90 out of town guests.
    We didn’t get a wedding coordinator initially but booked our vendors based on what we liked in the months leading up to the wedding. About a month and a half before the wedding, we booked our day of coordinator, Linda Kress, and we could not recommend her enough. We sent her the list of vendors we booked and told her the feel of what we wanted for the wedding and she gave us exactly what we wanted and more. We had unexpected rain the day of our wedding and she was able to figure out how to fit our tables and dance floor inside our tent to accommodate the weather since we planned for an outside dance floor. Linda basically put all the vendors, details, and special touches together. She thought of the all the things that I never even realized we needed. All of the wedding planning was made easy even while planning in California by having Linda as our coordinator. My only regret is not booking her soon enough. Linda made our wedding an amazing day my husband and I will never forget. Three months later, even our guests still talk about how great the wedding was and how beautiful everything turned out, rain and all. All of this was made possible thanks to Linda and her wedding magic and of course, to the beautiful Loulu Palm Estate.

    Tropical Lush! Daphne & David

    Our wedding was held at Loulu Palm and it was worth every penny! The venue is even better in person with the blue tropical water and mountain backdrop! If you are looking for true Hawaiian wedding with beach front and garden outdoor reception plus privacy, this is the venue for you. LLP are also extending their own rentals so that's a plus to save some headache in finding vendors! We had worked with Nickie and she was amazing in answering all my questions and concerns. She was always there for me to make any changes! Overall, I couldn't be more satisfied with the service and the beauty of this venue! I would do it all over again if I could!

    What a magical place!

    What a magical place. Birds, rainbows, the ocean waves, the gorgeous greenery. Nickie met with us to show us the property and really gave us a good idea for what we could do there. Their Instagram account is a great resource for ideas and vendors too.

    Once we booked, we hired Linda Kress (HIRE HER!) as our day-of coordinator, but she is so much more than that. Her recommendations were spot on. Her creative ideas were beyond what I would have come up with and truly enhanced the day. She is conscious of the budget and makes sure that she’s getting you solid deals. She’s honest too, and planning this on my own, I really needed that. On our wedding day, she handled hiccups with creativity and calm. She followed up with vendors after the wedding and made sure that my husband and I were well taken care of. We loved our wedding and she was very much responsible for the great time had by all.

    Another note for the venue, they are prepared. It rained a bit during the course of the wedding day (as it will in Hawaii, but it’s good luck!) and they were ready with umbrellas for guests, tents for vendors, etc. Everything was covered.

    Overall, a fantastic experience. We still tear up thinking about it. Thank you Loulu, Nickie and Linda!

    Everything from the location, wedding venue, and of course, the Incredible Linda Kress, was nothing short of spectacular !

    We had a lot of different ideas regarding an small, intimate, outdoor wedding in Hawaii but Loulu Palm stood out to us from all the reviews we have read online. As we got to know more about the property, we fell in love with how beautiful, laid back, and incredibly accommodating the property is. We really couldn't find a better venue, coordinator, or environment that embodies the spirit of Aloha. Thank you !!

    Linda Kress was absolutely amazing throughout the entire planning process. She was incredibly responsive (we've always gotten an email within 24 hours), organized (kept minutes and notes of every meeting) , and had really good suggestions and recommendations to help us stay within our budget. Looking back at all our wedding expenses, choosing and hiring Linda was among THE best decision we made.

    With her connections and recommendations with local vendors, we saved countless hours by not having to hunt down vendors and evaluate them blindly. Linda would give us her top 3 -5 vendors and would let us choose whoever we feel most comfortable with. We of course looked at her suggestions and we were very pleased to see that her suggestions were also very highly rated and well recommended. Definitely saved us so much time and money. We literally almost paid for Linda's services with the amount we saved from the vendors!

    Lastly, Linda was such a calming and stabilizing presence throughout the entire process. She gave us monthly tasks, encouraged us, and gently nudged us when we fell behind in our tasks. Thank you for helping us plan our perfect dream wedding ! It was everything we wanted and more.

    My wife found Loulu Palm when searching for our wedding venue. We planned with very little time in advance, and even with barely some months, our coordinator, Linda Kress, managed to assemble and come with solutions to absolutely everything that came up. My wife is very indecisive, and I had no idea about Hawaii, beyond some geographic information. Linda helped us by supplying options for everything, after some feedback about our very general ideas.
    Loulu convinced us, before Linda operated her magic, for the broad range of services and facilities it offered, at an incredible price. The ocean front, the charming house, the deck, the lawns and the trees offering privacy... Just the pictures were enough. But when we first went to the property, I was in awe to the beauty of it all. The mountains, the ocean, and the little communities in the North Shore... it was truly the best first decision on our wedding we could have made.
    Linda made sure we enjoyed and made the best possible use of the property. In my sincere opinion she even went well beyond the call of duty, helping us even in matters not directly related to the wedding, or helping me find a suit a week before the ceremony(my bad, I just left it for the last moment).
    For a small to medium sized wedding, the facilities, price and location almost unbeatable, in my opinion. I was born and raised in Cancun, Mexico, but the standard set by the services and facilities at Loulu are high and hard to match, under any perspective, and compared to any other venue.

    My husband and I are from California and had our destination wedding at Loulu Palms 6/17/18. A year prior I contacted Loulu Palm after searching WeddingWire for top rated Hawaii venues with an ocean view. Up to that point I had contacted 15 other venues in Hawaii/California and was having anxiety over budgeting and event planning burdens. Kristina Domanski became my LP venue contact. When she called me, she put all my worries to rest. Her optimism, professionalism and tactful honesty was why I chose her as my planner and LP as my venue. This ended up being one of my best decisions ever. Before booking, at my request, she gave me two references of couples who had recently gotten married at LP in 2017. Both references gave me the same feedback: she's amazing, this venue is great. Over the past year we sent countless wedding planning emails. My husband is Indian and my in-laws wanted to incorporate some Indian wedding traditions into our ceremony. Kristina really bent over backwards to accommodate all our requests. My in-laws were heavily involved in planning and also were so impressed. I used all her recommended vendors, and I received amazing compliments from our guests for the venue/entertainment/food/flowers. Minor detail - I do recommend telling guests to wear insect repellent at the venue if they're prone to getting bug bites. We booked our wedding date before flying from CA to visit the venue/vendors a few months prior to the wedding - its hard to imagine but the venue is more impressive and beautiful than in the pictures. We ended up having all our guests stay in Waikiki and had a bus drive most of them over to the venue. As with any big event there were minor hiccups during the wedding that Kristina dealt with discreetly but everything seemed seamless and our guests had a blast. Overall my husband, our families, our guests and I give Loulu Palms and their planning services 10/10

    We planned a destination wedding. I found Loulu Palm on instragrams and it looked so beautiful in photos and even better in reality. The grounds were kept clean and such a big space to use and do so much. I had awesome help from Nicki and Linda Kress who coordinated my wedding and went above and beyond for us. They are amazing! Our wedding was the most perfect day and it was all because of Linda, Nicki and the perfect venue, they made everything less stressful for me especially being an overseas wedding. They helped where they could get me better deals on the set up of the wedding which was stunning. The wedding went smoothly. I would highly recommend this venue and these ladies to anyone looking to get married in Hawaii, they worked so well with me and my family. The venue backs onto the beach and is just so beautiful, has a pretty swing at the front which was good for photos, long grass area (great if you have kids attending the wedding) and much more. The food was delicious all the guests were raving about it saying it was the best food they've had a wedding the caterer's came recommended from Loulu Palm (D'lish catering). All of our guests also said that this was the prettiest wedding they've been to. We are hoping to go back for our one year anniversary and visit the venue. For photos of the wedding please look at Tim Coulson Photography https://timcoulson.com/ or on instagram.

    My husband and I just recently planned our wedding from California and chose Loulu Palm for our ceremony and reception location. We had never been to Hawaii before so all we had to go on were the reviews and photographs and it was nothing less than perfect. Linda Kress was amazing to work with the whole way through. she is extremely busy but is very detail oriented and both the ceremony and reception turned out EXACTLY as I had pictured it would be! This estate is private and is the perfect location for an intimate evening with family and friends. Several of our friends and family said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and the best location! We also have a few friends that want to renew their vows there!

    Nickie is awesome! We had our wedding at Loulu Palms this past weekend as a destination wedding and we couldn't have been happier. The venue is perfect (ceremony with beach right behind us but nice forest background) and Nickie made the whole process seamless. I highly recommend Loulu Palms for your Hawaii Wedding!

    Look no further, Loulu Palm is the bomb and Linda Kress is the best!! This review is LONG overdue (married 8/2016) !! My sincerest apologies because I've been meaning to write this but got caught up with mom-life as I unexpectedly became pregnant in the middle of wedding planning and transitioned back to work, but they definitely deserve a review! We're located in the mainland (SF bay area) and Linda, the property manager and our wedding planner and day-of coordinator was a lifesaver!! We cannot thank her enough!! She made wedding planning sooo much easier for us and was very flexible with our budget and is a wealth of knowledge and resources!! She was on top of deadlines and the timeline. I really felt as if she had our back/went up to bat with negotiating prices/packages with vendors and really tried her hardest to execute the wedding of our dreams- and she and her team were able to deliver that and more! She had the best suggestions/ideas! The estate grounds were amazing, same gorgeous beachfront property as Turtle Bay for fraction of the price! Highly recommend this venue!! Our friends til this day still rave about our wedding being the best they've been to! We wanted our friends/fam to have a great experience and she exceeded our expectations. You will not regret having your wedding here! :)

    We had our dream wedding at Loulu Plam late Septermber. No words can describe how MAGIC this venue is. Photos and videos can not even capture how beauty this venue is. You really have to be there in person to see it. Living in New York to organize a destination wedding is extremely tough, espeically we only get to visit the venue one day before the wedding. From the moment we walk into Loulu Palm, we know this is it! This is where everything is going to happen! This is everything we've ever wanted for our big day in Hawaii! The private estate with gate and parking, private sand beach access, grass lawn, palm tress, tropical plants, fire woods, wooden chairs, mountains and cute old house- what else could you ask for? Besides the venue is breathtaking, Loulu palm staff are extremely helpful and friendly to all of our guests. We'd like to shout out loud special THANK YOU to our wedding planner Kristina Domanski, who is exremely passion, talent, supportive, and positive! Without her, we can't pull the destination wedding together. Knowing we have busy working schedule, Kristina manages to answer our endless emails promptly and accommodates the time difference for unlimited phone discussions. She makes sure to control and calls out any budget concerns yet still maintain to achieve my vision. Kristina even help me run errands to buy fuji film batteries the night before the wedding. I could not express how much appreciation I have towards Kristina! I almost don't want to share this review because Loulu Palm is such a private paradise that I wish to keep it for myself. If you are still scratching your head reviewing tons of venue reviews and photos, you don't have to continue anymore. Loulu Palm is truly a DREAM COME TRUE!

    Our wedding at Loulu Palm was nothing short of magical! From the moment we saw the property we knew it was the one. We also knew we needed a day of coordinator and Linda being Loulu’s prime, on site coordinator made her an easy choice. From the very start she offered great tips to cut costs while still achieving the look and feel we wanted. She was helpful, accomadating, responsive, professional, always smiling, and, my favorite, an in a pinch problem solver! She made sure all the boxes were checked and we can’t thank her enough! We highly recommend Loulu Palm and Linda as your day of coordinator!!

    Our wedding was held at Loulu Palms during the Spring...and we STILL hear how amazing our day was. Linda Kress whom we hired as our DOC, was heaven sent! We were planning our wedding from afar and she made sure we stayed on track over a year and a half. Linda literally saved us thousands of dollars-we hired Kenekes (which we highly recommend to stay on budget), Marie Blooms and A Cake Life, which lead to our day going more flawless than we could have ever imagined. The day of our wedding -we could not think of one thing that didn't go as planned! It was truly a dream come true. As for the venue-we felt for the view (right on the beach) and the open concept layout, we couldn't have found anywhere on the island for the price we got! Thank you to Linda and everyone at Loulu for thee Best Day Ever!!
    *seriously, hire Linda-you won't regret it*

    We married at Loulu Palms 5 years ago. I organised a suprise vow renewal and wanted to deal with Linda Kress again as we she our coordinator 5 years ago. What can i say about Linda? She is simply the best. From amswering my calls from Australia at 9:30pm at night to organising everything for me on the day, even making sure my 2 daughters lookes the part, Linda was so easy to deal with and made the day even more amazing. I would definitely recommend Linda to anyone wanting to organise an event at Loulu Palms - you will be very lucky to have her. Truly amazing. P.S. thanks to Lyn for looking after our girls too while the ceremony was on.

    With no hesitation, my husband and I chose Loulu Palm as our wedding venue. We loved the privacy of the estate and the beautiful views of the mountains and ocean.

    We got married on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and EVERYTHING was perfect! The day went by so smoothly and we did not feel stressed at all. Our guests, from Hawaii and California, fell in love the beauty of Loulu Palm.

    Linda Kress, our day of coordinator, was
    amazing. She was so much more than a DOC. She helped us throughout the process and made planning a wedding all the way from California very easy. Her calming and sweet spirit eased my anxieties every time I spoke with her over the phone.

    We are so happy that we chose Loulu Palm!

    I can't say enough good things about Loulu Palm. It has everything you could want for a Hawaiian wedding (or a beautiful wedding in general): a comfortable, nice house to get ready in, a large lanai for the reception with chairs, tables, a dance floor, and a comfortable lounge area, gorgeous mountain views, a large lawn, and a private beach. I loved that our guests had options if they didn't want to dance- the entire estate is yours for the day, so guests could take a walk on the beach and look at the stars, or play games on the lawn that the venue provided for a tiny additional fee. The price for all of these things was extremely reasonable. On top of that, they were very easy and fast to work with- booking was smooth, and Nikki provided us with a bunch of information immediately upon booking that helped kick start some of the wedding planning: sample layouts of the property, info on getting a Hawaii marriage license and wedding insurance, recommended vendors, etc.

    For coordinating we worked with Linda Kress. She gave us vendor recommendations, offered her wholesale accounts for flowers and transport, offered contacts for flowers, bartenders and other vendors, gave input on and finalized/submitted our rental order, allowed us to ship items to her house, booked a last minute rehearsal dinner at a restaurant she recommended when our original plan fell through days before the event, and was quick and efficient in communicating with us and answering all of the random questions we threw her way over months of planning. Because of her, our wedding planning was completely stress-free and a lot of fun. We basically sent various pieces to her (as well as used some of her decor/vases that she generously offered), sent her a few pinterest photos, and she put it all together in a cohesive and beautiful way. I haven't talked to anyone who has had such a superb experience with their coordinator.

    Where to begin! My husband and I got married at Loulu Palm back in June of 2017 and it was by far the best day of our lives. We owe a huge thank you to Linda Kress and Loulu Palm for making our dreams of getting married by the water surrounded by lush greenery come true. Even though Linda called herself Day of Coordinator she stepped in months before giving amazing advice helping us to save money where we could. Her warmth drew us in but her organization kept us sane and on schedule. Our wedding was no easy task, we had a certain vision and she did everything in her power to make that vision come to life, which she did and even surpassed our expectations! Her knowledge of the island and vendors was so important since we were planning from California. She had a "no worries"attitude and even if she was worrying she didn't let me know as to not stress out the bride which is so appreciated! I'm so thankful we chose Loulu Palm because of it's beautiful landscape, spacious setting where you get to make it completely your own, and working with such wonderful people! If you are questioning which venue on the North Shore you want to use as your Venue I urge you to choose Loulu Palm and have the privilege of having Linda coordinate your very special day. Our guests continue to tell us how it was the best wedding they have been to because of the gorgeous grounds and because of how smoothly everything ran, when things go smoothly everyone is able to have much more fun! <3

    Loulu Palm and Linda Kress made our dreams come true for our wedding day. Loulu Palm is the most perfect venue you can imagine for your wedding in Hawaii. The ocean, beach, palm trees, mountains and best of all, all of this in a private setting for you and your guests to enjoy. And then there is Linda Kress. Linda is truly amazing and was a delight to work with right through from the first email inquiry through to the post wedding day good bye. Linda offered an endless list of ideas and suggestions to not only make our day unique and special, but also save money long the way. Working with Linda took the stress out of everything becasue you knew everything was goin gto be taken care off. Linda seems to work all day, every day tirelessly for all her clients. It might seem like a lot of work to organise a wedding with different vendors for everything compared to going to a hotel or resort, but it will be worth it. And with Linda's help, everything will be perfect. Thank you Linda, thank you Loulu Palm

    I could not have imagined a more perfect wedding! Nickie brought everything together wonderfully in her little piece of paradise with her endless creativity. The venue is spectacular, and we could feel the place running on love. Nickie and the vendors worked together like family, and we felt like family too. We didn't want the day to end!

    This review is long overdue but we just had the most magical wedding at Loulu palms!! Kristina Domanski our wedding planner was amazing!! She was super sweet, easy to work with and very professional! E-mails we were answered promptly and she was always looking out for our best intrest. Having a destination wedding is not easy and with our busy schedules, we were very blessed to have Kristina helping us every step of the way. Kristina also ensured that we were within our budget and would help us get what we wanted by substituting items that were within our price range. During the wedding she was very good at resolving minor issues, improvising and making sure everything went perfectly. For example, when my wife forgot to bring her garter belt that night, Kristina created one for her on the spot. We highly recommend her and this beautiful venue. Wish we could relive that night over and over!

    As cheesy as it sounds, the Loulu Palm is the definition of #blessed. We booked the venue based on pictures and video, site unvisited prior to our rehearsal day, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. A beautiful expansive space that still feels perfectly intimate thanks to the gorgeous palms that surround the property, it's the perfect backdrop for any celebration. Our wedding day will be a day that we never forget-you cannot take a bad picture anywhere. Start to finish absolutely no hiccups and good vibes all around. None of this would have been possible without the help of Linda Kress, our day of Coordinator. She was integral in making our vague yet specific wedding visions a reality. Linda was there every step of the way until the wedding was complete. She went above and beyond and personally sought out and found items we were missing for our wedding all while keeping us calm and confident that everything would come together. There is no doubt that we would recommend The Loulu Palm Estate and its staff to anyone who wants the perfect wedding. Day of coordinator is a MUST! 5 stars is an understatement.

    Loulu Palm Estate is absolutely amazing in every way. Secluded ocean front yard surrounded by lush greenery and mountains. Does not get any better in my opinion. Linda Kress runs the property and also worked as our coordinator. If you have your event at Loulu, I'd highly recommend working with Linda for coordination. She is amazing, patient, experienced, connected, and just an overall wonderful person. We were able to trust her judgment, which allowed us greater peace of mind. Having worked so many weddings on the property, Linda knows what works and what doesn't. We rented the groomsman yurt and it was phenomenal. The bridal party was able to get ready in the property house. I cannot imagine a better venue or coordinator. Thanks Linda and Loulu Palm Estate! Aloha

    We just had our wedding one week ago at Loulupalm. No words can describe how amazing this location is! And all of our guests love it! When the first time we saw the venue one year ago, we just can't believe there is such a place in Hawaii! Beautiful beach, nice lawn, mountain view, tropical plants, bonfire, bridal room... It has everything you want for a perfect beach wedding! The most important thing for us: it is pet friendly!!! And you can choose almost any vendors except rental. So we booked it right away!

    What made this venue even more beautiful is our wedding planner and coordinator, Kristina! She is an angel who can make every thing happen! During the planning, Kristina did such a great job on detailing everything! She is very flexible and calm with everything! She found a vegan cake for our youngest guest, a 2-year-old boy, who is lactose intolerance. It was the first time he eat a cake since he was born. She even printed out the escort cards for me one day before the wedding, because the one I booked online mailed to the wrong place. She even helped us return some unconsumed beverage to save money! And all of our guests loves her!

    There are too many good things I can say about this place. I would definitely recommend Loulupalm and Kristina to anyone!

    Loulu Palm is the PERFECT wedding venue!!! Not only is it a stunning, secluded paradise, but its staff is unbelievable as well!! Linda Kress, I cannot thank enough-she is the best wedding coordinator you will ever come across!!! Linda was so organized, friendly and made it all seem so easy and relaxed. As the bride, she made me feel so at ease and excited for our special day at Loulu Palm. This location is by far the best. It is secluded and private, large for playing games or dancing or walking up to the private beach, roasting marshmallows or sitting around the campfire. They have anything you could think of!! Loulu Palm works with the best vendors as well. They are all very friendly, reliable and go above and beyond for your special day. If you want to get married at a breathtaking, private and incomparable location, call Linda Kress and book your wedding at Loulu Palm Farm Estate! It will be the best experience and you will be so happy with your choice. We got married in August and I miss Linda and Loulu Palm already!!! That's how wonderful they are! They treat you like family and work with you to make it exactly what you want on your special day. The best service, location and treatment I could have ever imagined. Mahalo and big thank you to Linda Kress and Loulu Palm!

    Absolutely beautiful wedding venue! Having grown up on the North Shore we were very familiar with the property and knew there was no where better. The lush backdrop made our photos absolutely stunning. Guests from both Hawaii and the mainland were raving about the location. We also highly recommend using Kristina as a wedding planner, she did an amazing job and took all the hassles and pressure off of us. She has exceptional vendor connections and will end up saving you a significant amount of money and headaches. She did such an amazing job that I had enough free time to surf for 2 hours prior to the ceremony. If looking for a caterer Chef Elmer Guzman had a fantastic menu to offer and the food was excellent. Hands down, this is the best wedding venue on Oahu and surely will not disappoint.

    We got married at Loulu Palm on March 2016 and everything from the venue to the coordination service was perfect.
    From the moment we walked onto the property my husband and I knew that there was no place on the island that was going to beat this venue. What more could you ask for? A beautiful secluded beach facing one way and the beautiful lush green mountains of Hawaii when you face the other way. You have the best of both worlds and won't have any wanderers walking into your wedding which is how some venues are in Hawaii since its public. There's a cute house for the bridal party to get ready in and the restrooms are clean for your guests (this was something that worried me with having a beach wedding) luckily I didn't have to worry about that here. This place is so beautiful that one of our groomsmen's cousins saw all the pictures that he was tagged in on social media from our wedding and wants to have her wedding there now. Honestly, pictures can't even truly capture the beauty of this venue. It felt like a dream to be there.
    For our coordinator we were lucky to be blessed with Kristina Domanski. She was one of the sweetest people we have ever came across. She responded to every e-mail promptly and made a table with all of our vendors and timeline. Everything was so organized and she was in contact with all of the vendors to reassure we were all on the same schedule. She also threw in extras for us like games that were on the lawn for our kid guests which who were very entertained and occupied. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. She always had a smile on her face and was so friendly, my family loved her as they got to know her through the process also. I wouldn't have changed one thing about that special day for us. We received so many compliments from every single one of our guests about how it was the most beautiful wedding venue that they have been to and that it was the best wedding they've attended.

    Loulu palms made our menu perfect. Linda Kress was our day of coordinator and I cannot express how smooth and perfect she made our experience. Loulu palms on its own offers a beautiful scenery, but the staff is alos extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Out wedding turned out better than I could ver imagine.

    This venue is superior! We did not see it, and the pictures did NOT do it justice but were great, until the day before the wedding. We drove through the gate for our rehearsal and were in utter awe, before even seeing the actual place where the wedding was to be held. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone wishing to have a dream come true wedding in North Shore. It is close to Turtle Bay Resort and many VRBO's. We had 70 guests and saw everyone the whole time! Call Nicki and book this lovely ocean front estate! IT is perfect in every way!

    We could not have been more satisfied with the venue and services provided by Loulu Palms Estate and our wedding coordinator Kristina Domanski. The location is absolutely beautiful with diverse scenery, mountain and ocean views, lush grounds and distinct character. Our guests were in absolute awe with the location and event. There is no question, if you are considering getting married on Oahu, this is hands down the place to do it! We were also so grateful for all the work Kristina did to coordinate the event. Despite this being a destination wedding for us, she worked endlessly to allow us to enjoy the week in Hawaii with our family and friends instead of fretting over last minute details. She is very knowledgeable, amazing at coordinating all the vendors and despite keeping her on her toes with some last minute timeline changes and an impromptu dance-party in the middle of dinner service, she did an amazing job of keeping things on track and ensuring all of our guests had fun. Thank you Kristina and Loulu Palms for an amazing night we will never forget!

    If you're contemplating where you can tie the knot and create memories with absolutely stunning scenery in mind and complete privacy on your day...Loulu Palm is the venue!!!
    Pictures don't do this location justice.
    From the very beginning of my communication with Nickie, I got that gut feeling it was right. She was so professional and responded promptly to every question and concern I had. She was so easy to work with, being in Canada it was comforting having someone that understood my vision so well just through email correspondence!
    She was there on our day and even more helpful.
    And what can I say about Kristina; who we hired as our coordinator..she is also amazing!
    I thought I was organized. .well she's so much more. Kristina was also very prompt in our communication from beginning to end.
    The day before the wedding, I was still getting "to do" lists that kept me sane.lol
    She was amazing and made both my husband and I feel like we all had been working together for much longer. Kristina helped us out with coordination of all of the vendors and shared suggestions to help us stay on track with our budget as well. She took care of errands that for us would have been extra stress the week before our day.
    Every detail I asked for she shared the vision and on the day of the wedding, I had no worries. .it all looked amazing, right down to the cake she helped put flowers on!!
    She was so kind to my guests and family and seemed to never stop working. So thankful we chose her services.
    Our guests commented that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they have been to and were blown away by the privacy and beauty of the location.
    (Nobody walking in bathing suits or tourists watching in the background. Lol)
    Loulu Palms was the best choice for us 100 percent and is highly recommended.

    My husband and I were looking for the perfect location to have our destination wedding, we found it at Loulu Palm Estate. We travelled over to Hawaii a year before our wedding to look at different wedding venue options and as soon as we saw Loulu Palm Estate we knew it was the perfect place for us to get married. It was private and had a beautiful backdrop of the mountains and a secluded beach at the end of the property. Words cannot explain how beautiful the venue is and how amazing the team is at Loulu Palm Estate.

    For our wedding, we used Loulu Palm’s wedding planner, Kristina Domanski, and she was so amazing and easy to work with. We booked Kristina for the 'Full Coordination option' - which I would definitely recommend for brides living overseas. This was the perfect option for us as Kristina is able to take care of everything and follow up with vendors etc. It was just a very relaxing process and I didn't need to worry about anything. Kristina was very prompt with responding to all my emails and on the wedding day she made sure everything ran smoothly. I thought I would be anxious on my wedding day but I was very calm and relaxed and I know I have Kristina to thank for that. I couldn't have imagined our wedding day without Kristina and we are so appreciative of all the hard work she put in to make our day perfect.

    Loulu Palm Estate is the perfect place to have a destination wedding and I have never experienced such amazing customer service before. Thank you to Kristina and everyone at Loulu Palm, you made our wedding day perfect and it was everything we dreamed it would be and I can't thank you enough.

    We had an amazing wedding day at Loulu Palm. Kristina was our coordinator and designer, she was very knowledgeable of all the local vendors, and provides great help with our destination wedding. We received so many comments from guests of how beautiful the space was. I would highly recommend Loulu Palm to anyone looking to have a unique and breathtaking wedding day.

    The moment we saw Loulu Palm and met Nickie... we knew this was where we would get married. It is absolutely breathtaking. We were married 3 weeks ago, and it was truly the best day of our lives. Nickie is incredibly supportive. She cares about her couples and wants nothing more than to make sure everything is perfect. Mahalo from the bottom of our hearts Loulu Palm & Nickie for giving us everything we could have ever wanted. Your forever fans, Dave, Lari, & Mosey

    We had our perfect wedding here. The location is just stunning. The house for getting ready is spacious (so is the groomsmen's yurt) and the house has AC. The bathrooms are very clean. Couldn't have asked for a better location. Additionally, I'd like to recommend hiring Kristina Domanski as a wedding coordinator (she is associated with the site). Her work and help was literally priceless. It would not have been the same without her. If this is a destination wedding for you, hiring her will make your life a whole lot less stressful!

    The venue looked amazing on photos and videos but wanted to talk to someone that was familiar with the place. After our talk with Kristina, we were sold. We could tell that she genuinely loved the venue, cared for the vision we had, and had a real honest spirit to her.

    We placed our deposit and never looked back. We convinced Kristina to help us with the day-of coordination (despite her being so busy that month) but she was so extremely giving and helpful. She was able to answer some of our major questions right from the start and gave us extremely professional and great advice. It was impossible to not be excited about our wedding and seeing the venue because of her oozing enthusiasm on our calls.

    Kristina gave us great advice when choosing our caterer, DJ, decor, transportation, and everything else! It made the long distance planning much less stressful and way more enjoyable.

    The day we met Kristina to check out the venue for the first time - she was so on point with everything. She was super flexible and accommodating and put all of our worries at ease. We were so confident with her ability to make our day awesome. We told her that she can make all our decisions on the day-of and she had our support. And oh did she make it so.

    Loulu is where the ocean meets the mountains and the rainforest. The venue is private, intimate, charming, and quite possibly the most beautiful place you can have your wedding. Our guests were speechless with whichever way they looked when they entered the venue. We were speechless.

    If you are thinking about a venue in Oahu... It does NOT get any better. Our experience with Loulu and Kristina was world class and we give praises to Kristina for making our wedding day one of the most memorable days in our life. Thank you.

    I spent many months trying to find the right venue. I chose Loulu Palm Estate not only for its amazing beauty ie the ocean and the backdrop of the mountains and privacy but I loved the fact that I could have my wedding ALL day and evening. I had the entire estate from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm so I could provide lots of entertainment. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Linda Kress, my wedding coordinator. She arranged everything so perfectly and through our continuous emails she was really able to get a feel for what I exactly wanted. She has impeccable taste! I have to say my wedding was everything I wanted it to be and MORE. It was perfect! The Hawaiian musicians she hired were outstanding! Everyone commented on how beautifully they played. I wanted lots of entertainment for the day so I provided a hula and fire show. The hula girls were precious! I also had a shaved ice truck and that was a big hit! Please contact Linda Kress for the names of the musicians, the name of the shaved ice truck and the excellent food! Food was very important to me as I eat primarily very healthy and organic food. THIS food was absolutely scrumptious with plenty of vegetables and chicken and beef that melted in your mouth! I had a wedding cake that everyone commented on how delicious it was and decorated in pretty seashells like I wanted. Our DJ was great and everyone really danced! The last touch was the campfire and s'mores. All my friends got a kick out of that! Of course like all weddings, there is usually some issue and mine was that I forgot my veil! Linda Kress found yardage and yardage of tulle for me and ended up making a beautiful veil for me. I ended up liking it better than the one I originally bought! Also, I forgot the wedding broom for the bride and groom to jump over at the end of the wedding and she provided that! Linda Kress is so easy to work! I simply adore her and thank her sooo much for making my day absolutely perfect! Thank u so so much Linda Kress!

    I worked with both Linda and Kristina. Linda showed us the venue and is so responsive on email and so kind! Once we decided to book the venue, we hired Kristina as our day of coordinator and were not let down! She is the sweetest person and made the last 6 weeks much easier! She answered many of my questions before the day of coordination service had even started. We loved the venue, all of our guests loved the venue, and it was a beautiful wedding. You can't beat walking onto the secluded beach for a Hawaiian sunset with your closest friends and family! We loved getting married here! Thank you Linda and Kristina!

    We decided to have a wedding in Oahu after attending a friend’s destination wedding there a few years ago. We didn’t want a packaged deal or a generic wedding at a hotel on the Waikiki strip, so we did some research online and ended up narrowing down the choices to 2 venues. We chose Loulu Palm Estate over the other one because of the privacy, the affordability, the size of the venue, as we had only around 70 guests, and the breath taking view especially during the sunset. What was really important to us was also that we had the venue for the entire day (11am-11pm). Some of the wedding venue split their bookings into 2 sessions, an AM and PM session. One would basically have to pay double to secure the venue for the entire day.

    The scenery at Loulu Palm was simply amazing. During the ceremony guests will be seated on the lawn over looking a semi-private beach and the Pacific. If one looks back towards the house, you will see luscious greenery with a mountain/hill as the backdrop. A lot of times the pictures look better than the ‘real thing’ but Loulu Palm was different, it was actually better in person. The only minor concern would be the unpredictable weather out in the North Shore.

    For the planning process, we initially chose Loulu Palm’s in-house wedding planner, Kristina Domanski, simply out of convenience. When we started working with her, we found her to be exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her job. She was prompt in her replies and gave us a lot of useful input in terms of the set-up, vendors and other minor details we never thought about. My wife and I were initially stressing out about the planning because we both lived in different countries and was trying to plan a destination wedding in a third country and in a different time zone. But Kristina made the process incredibly easy as she laid out all our options for us. We highly recommend the venue and Kristina.

    My husband and I live in Jacksonville, FL, but we chose to get married on Oahu where most of my family resides. We had a small, intimate wedding (50 people) and it exceeded my expectations.
    We made the decision to have our wedding at Loulu Palm Estate for several reasons:
    Location- If you're not familiar with the island, do your research! Waikiki is popular and beautiful, but it is extremely congested and you will always be in traffic. Haleiwa, in the North Shore area, is located on a much more remote part of the island. It's more laid back with a small-town feel. This venue is on private property and I promise that once you drive through the main gate, it opens up into a tropical hideaway.
    The Plantation House/Groom's Yurt- The guest bathrooms in the house look like what you'd find in any nice hotel. They're definitely clean. It is beautifully decorated inside and comes with the use of a refrigerator and shower. The bridal suite is awesome. I had 3 bridesmaids and 4-5 other girls at a time in this room. It's an open space with plenty of large windows and excellent views of the lawn and ocean. I loved getting ready there. The Groom's Yurt, conveniently located separately from the house, was basically a dude's paradise. It's an awesome little hut that made a nice place for the guys to drink and hang out until it was time.
    Kristina Domanski, Coordinator- She made this experience way less stressful than I anticipated. She's very sweet and helpful, and I loved that she wasn't arrogant or bossy. It was easy to keep in touch with her from afar and she literally answered every question I had. She was worth every penny, especially the day of my wedding. I was able to completely relax because she just took care of everything! She made me feel so calm throughout the entire planning process, which was important because I was thousands of miles away. She was great to work with and I recommend her services if you hate stress.

    Kristina at Loulu Palm made our wedding fantastic! She made planning everything from the mainland a breeze and the reception and wedding were even more beautiful that we could have imagined. This was, literally, the perfect wedding location. Thank you!

    I have nothing but great things to say about LouLu Palm Estate. My wife and I were planning a destination wedding and knew we wanted an intimate, private location on the North Shore of Oahu. My mom grew up there and this would be the first time that our families would be able to make the trip there together as adults.

    You can rent the grounds or the house with the grounds, which we did so that we could get ready and dress at the event, rather than getting dressed before and getting in the car to drive there. The house is charming, as are the staff. Everyone made us feel welcome.

    The grounds are absolutely stunning and our guests kept commenting on how beautiful everything was. You really don't need a lot of decoration because the scenery alone is gorgeous. Our ceremony was less than 50 guests so we rented our seating directly through them as well which made it even more convenient. It was the perfect destination, and Kristina, the manager and the entire team made our day really special. I would highly recommend working with LouLu for any event on the North Shore.

    We had our wedding at the Loulu Palm on a Thrusday - and it turned out to be such a beautiful day! We decided to have a destination wedding and had done research on hotel packages for weddings - many charged you twice. One price for the Ceremony site and again for the reception site - and many of the photos and random people watching from their balcony's or in the background watching. Call me crazy - but we wanted a private, intimate wedding with people we knew - not a bunch of random vacationers! Loulu palm was just perfect. We had rehearsal 2 days before the wedding and it was more beautiful in person. The house was simple and beautiful and groom's bungalow was perfect to occupy the boys' time. Words cannot explain or do this venue justice. Right on the water and well manicured lawn, at night the palm tree's lit up. Linda was so helpful. Helping with any questions - giving her expert advise on what would look best. Offering any help she could. She even had a neighbor help with some extra small floral details. I cannot thank her enough. I must say, this is the kind of place I had envisioned for my wedding and it is everything it claims to be and much more. I would recommend this place to anyone - so happy I found it and so thankful to be away from the city!

    Absolutely THE place to get married on Oahu. I can not say enough positive things about this venue and its manager, Linda Kress. She is amazing - she is so kind-hearted and really helped make our wedding absolutely come together flawlessly. Location was #1 on our priority list for our wedding and we looked at many of the top wedding venues on Oahu and this was by far the best. This venue is beach front, at a secluded private estate on the North Shore. My guests we stunned at the location and its beauty. The quality of service and professionalism we received was outstanding. I highly recommend this venue!!!!!

    I’m so glad we decided on Loulu Palm Estate for our destination/Halloween wedding! I can’t express how perfect this site is & how awesome Kristina Domanski was!
    We wanted our guests to have the island/tropical feel away from the hustle & bustle of the city. I wanted everyone to feel like we were in Hawaii. We definitely had that feel! This outdoor location is private & secluded. It's really a blank canvas and you’ll get to really personalize everything! We didn't see Loulu Palms until the day before the wedding. I knew it was the perfect location as soon as I walked up to the grass. I liked that we didn’t have to go through their preferred vendors except for the party rentals, Pacific Party Rentals (expect to spend a lot of money for the rentals: chairs, tables, linens, tents lighting). We had both, the ceremony & reception here. There’s a big green grass area, tropical plants, a beach, & ocean view. They provide the venue from 11am-11pm, an undecorated bamboo arch for the ceremony, a bamboo bar, some uplighting, and bridal suite to get ready in. You can have an hour for rehearsal. You can chose a day & time for rehearsal before the wedding. If there isn’t an event being held there that hour is yours. There’s an optional man cave for the guys & fire pit for s'mores for an additional fee too.
    Kristina Domanski is the best! She's Loulu Palms site consultant. She was on top of everything from the get go. I seriously wouldn’t know what I’d do w/out her for this wedding. She was my go to. She emailed/texted answering many questions quickly, although I didn’t hire her to coordinate (yet). As the wedding got closer I decided to hire her for the “day of coordination”. I knew Kristina was perfect since I was already in contact w/ her beforehand. 6 weeks prior she started coordinating everything & was in contact w/ vendors, she handled final payments and finalized contracts. I watched her run around & make sure everything was perfect the day of. She's superwoman!

    Getting married at Loulu Palms Estate was even more beautiful and amazing that I had imagined or expected. When we were planning our destination wedding from California, we had made a trip to Hawaii to visit a few potential vendors. In my research, I stumbled upon Loulu Palms and right away I had scheduled a last minute meeting & tour of the property with Kristina Domanski. While visiting another venue, the event manager asked what other property/venue we were going to visit. I mentioned to her Loulu Palms. Come to find out, that same event manager had gotten married at Loulu Palms & spoke highly of it. Upon meeting Kristina and visiting Loulu Palms, we knew right away, that this was where we were going to get married. The property is gorgeous! It's lush green grass, oceanfront/beach views, forest and tropical landscaping was magical, breath taking and perfect for our wedding. So perfect that we had placed our deposit & reserved Loulu Palms for our wedding that same day.

    We had hired Kristina Domanski as our day of coordinator and she was absolutely amazing! I was able to share my vision & ideas of what I imagined our wedding to be & Kristina knew right away the direction of how to orchestrate it all. Unfortunately, a month before our wedding, two separate deaths had occurred in my family. Being consumed with my family tragedies, Kristina, with her kind heart, gentle spirit & love, stepped in the planning process & took care of everything. She reached out to our vendors & handled it all!

    I knew that our wedding was going to be a special event, but with Kristina's attention to detail from the flowers, the decor, the rentals, the officiant, the d.j., the photographer, videographer, caterers, transportation, the rehearsal, etc. our wedding was the most amazing, breath taking, memorable event in my family's history. Kristina is amazing & so special, we were very blessed to have her share our special day with us! Thank you Kristina & the staff at Loulu Palms!

    I used Loulu Pam Estate for both my ceremony and reception and there could not have been a better location. My husband is from Hawaii but I am from California and I was not able to actually view the sure until the week before our wedding. I chose it based on reviews and from word of mouth. Let me tell you, Loulu Palm is even more breathtaking in person than in the pictures. Pictures just don't do it justice! From the moment I saw the location, I knew we had picked the perfect spot. It was just what we were looking for - secluded, private, gorgeous, and absolutely stunning! Once, I was there I never wanted to leave! If I could live in the house there I would.
    We used Kristina as our coordinator for the six weeks prior to our wedding and she was fabulous. Even before our contracted six weeks started she was so helpful in answering an question I had regarding the wedding (I think I had about a million questions!) she was so gracious even when I ended up changing my mind on several different things. She was always so kind and helpful and so fun to work with, I would highly recommend her as coordinator!
    Loulu Palm was the perfect place for us to get married because we didn't want the classic "cheesy" Hawaiian wedding. Everything at the estate was so classy but laid back which is just our style. Our guests were amazed by the location and everyone kept commenting to me that the whole wedding was stunning. We opted for the tent with the clear roof - I would highly recommend! I didn't really want to spend the extra cost, but it was definitely worth it. Seeing the stars at night and the cafe lights that we had put up inside made the evening magical.
    Overall, best day ever! Thank you Loulu Palm Estate!

    I can't say enough great things about the Loulu Palm Estate and Kristina Domanski! My husband and I wanted a destination wedding in Hawaii, so I took on the responsibility to find the venue. I did a lot of research via yelp, knot and wedding wire. I was taken back by beauty of the estate and the pretty good reviews. When we finally chose the Estate as our wedding site, we were confident with the people that we were going to work with. When you reserve the venue, the estate provides preferred vendors to help with your day from the caterers, flowers, dj's, photographers and etc. Note: the venue works with only one rental company for the equipment (chairs, tables, silverware, glassware and etc) You must go through Pacific party rentals for all of your needs and be prepared spend a little bit more money than anticipated for a rain plan and a non rain plan. We worked with Kristina, who is the wedding coordinator for the estate. She is highly recommended! She knows the estate, provides great recommendations and keeps you on track with your vendors and payments. Very great to work with and very easy to contact via email or phone. The days leading up to the wedding, she was very organized and reliable. The day of the wedding, I couldn't have imagined our day without her help! Our wedding day was flawless, because she was highly prepared and organized. If you are planning a wedding in Hawaii this is the place and Kristina is your person!

    Loulu Palm was the perfect venue for our wedding! Linda Kress is so helpful and amazing. The venue is stunning and tucked away on the north shore. We had both our ceremony and reception at Loulu. The facilities were convenient for the bridal party to get ready. Would highly recommend it for a wedding venue!

    Our wedding at Loulu Palms was really a dream come true. Loulu Palms is hands down the most beautiful wedding location on all of Oahu. The estate's lush greenery and magnificent North Shore beachfront is truly stunning. Our wedding guests are all still raving about Loulu and our wedding.

    Our wedding planner Linda Kress was also AMAZING! Weddings, especially destination weddings, can be super stressful, but Linda made the whole wedding planning process very stress free. She is extremely organized, knowledgeable, and professional. Linda rocks!!! I could not have asked for a better person to work with.

    I highly recommend Loulu Palms to any couple looking to have a dream wedding. Thank you again Linda and also Kristina for making our wedding day the best day ever!

    Loulu Palms Estate was magical. This venue provides you everything you need to enjoy your special day. They are amazing people to work with. You can't ask for anything more. If you have any special event coming up, book Loulu. Linda Kress is the best to work with and goes above and beyond her scoop of work. Thank you Loulu!

    Where do I begin with Loulu Palm Estate. The location...beautiful, picturesque, beach front, exquisite island location, private. I absolutely fell in love with this place the moment we stepped foot onto the property. Our first stop for searching wedding venues, and we actually tried to compare it to other places, but we couldn't stop thinking about Loulu Palms and without hesitation, decided to have our most memorable day of our lives here. The property is large enough, well kept, pictures at any angle had a beautiful view. The ceremony took place at the edge of the lawn over looking the ocean, our reception was also outside underneath a large tent. Kristina, our coordinator....she was on top of EVERYTHING. She should've been my first choice for a coordinator. Because when my previous coordinator quit on me 4 weeks before my wedding, Kristina was able to help me plan my wedding in that short amount of time with my long list of "still need" for the wedding with an even smaller budget than I already had. One phone call with her made my stress levels decrease significantly. She was an open book. She had ideas that I didn't even know I had the option of having at my wedding. I had to have a plan B with my centerpieces because we had no idea if they were going to even be there on time for the wedding due to ex-wedding coordinator issues, but Kristina took the time to give me options, plan for back-ups in case they didn't show up or in case they did. All in all....the wedding looked PERFECT. She was so calm, so prepared, communicated with everyone in a professional manner, kept me up to date with everything that was going-on. I couldn't ask for a better right hand woman for my wedding. I forgot to mention that we were planning this wedding from the Mainland...in San Diego, CA. I highly recommend Kristina as a coordinator to all the brides, and Loulu Palm Estate is a beautiful wedding venue, well worth it for our special day. Thank you so much!!

    Our wedding at Loulu Palm Estate was a dream come true! From the first day that I saw the venue to the day of our wedding, the location, staff and overall experience was more than I could ask for. Since I was doing most of the wedding planning on my own, Linda was amazing to help me in all the planning needs that I would have overlooked. The day of was filled with helpful and friendly smiles to make my wedding day one I will never forget. The cottage was perfect to prepare and get ready in and all my guests agreed that it great to have parking onsite and clean accessible bathrooms given that it was a beachfront property. Anyone who lives in Hawaii or is flying in for a destination wedding would love to have their wedding here and I can't imagine a better place. The photos say it all! Mahalo to Linda and all at Loulu Palm Estate!!!!!

    Loulu Palm is one of the most gorgeous venues on all of Oahu! We picked this site based off of photos we saw online (pinterest) and a friend that attending a wedding there. If you want to be away from the city and its tourist ... this is where you want to have your wedding. What we loved most about Loulu Palm was the privacy and the countryside. Being on that side of the island is what Hawai'i is all about. We had a private estate, and beach, without having tourist walking around and photo bombing our pictures ... whatelse can you ask for? We also hired the onsite coordinator, Kristina! We absolutely loved her. She made wedding planning so easy and seamless. She was organized and always willing to answer her phone calls and emails regardless if our contract was for the day of coordination. She went above and beyond her call of duty to make this destination wedding so much easier to plan from the mainland. If anyone is wanting to have a destination wedding on Oahu, I highly recommend you going out to Loulu Palm!!!!

    We couldn't have asked for a better place to have our wedding. Absolutely beautiful! The pictures do not do it justice! And you cannot beat the price, trust me, I did some serious searching. Kristina was our coordinator and was amazing! I was not stressed out one bit and she took care of everything. It is so nice to have someone else do the coordinating for you so your friends and family can truly enjoy the day. She was friendly, professional, and everyone loved her! You will not be disappointed if you have your wedding at Loulu Palm, it was the wedding of our dreams :)

    Loulu is a beautiful place for a wedding; and the property manager, Linda Kress, does a superb job of running it.

    Linda was a real difference maker in making our planning process a pleasurable experience. She has a great attitude went above and beyond the requirements of a property manager while helping us in all areas of our wedding. She made great recommendations for caterers, flower vendors, etc. She also helped us out with our timeline, wedding day organization, and numerous other helpful tips and tricks. She responded to every question we could throw at her and did so in a timely manner with a smile on her face.

    All in all, I would say we had a perfect wedding and we could not be happier...and Linda had a lot to do with that. She was an invaluable part of our wedding and we can't thank her enough.
