Yea! So much of our wedding planning has gone to our Big Fake Wedding at home, and not a lot of time or thought has been put into our Small Real Wedding in HI. The reason for this is since I work for an airline, we get to fly from SEA to LIH (Lihue, HI) for free, and we get employee rates at hotels, so I haven't really planned much for this legal wedding part, since we (and actually all 12 people that will be at this legal wedding) have to fly standby, and book the hotel much closer to the day we are going to actually travel (very unlike "real" people haha).

 

Doug and I have been trying to find a beach near where our hotel will be that is not a long drive, but somewhere beautiful and memorable. We stumbled upon Hanalei Bay when googling HI weddings, and decided it would be perfect! An hours drive from the LIH airport, and we loved how the name means "making lei's" since we will be having a lei ceremony to present our moms with lei's!

 

I was going to try and post some pics that made us cement our decision, but the stupid work computer isn't loving photobucket right now, so I'll do it later :)

 

Also thanks to Christine who posted a thread about Hanalei, so when I wanted to see if anyone on BDW had heard of it, I could!

Thanks Jessica!

I am interested in info on an evening luau, the cool kind with the food, dancers, fire shows, all the good stuff. We want to do this as our mini-reception/celebration the night of the ceremony, but not quite sure how to go about it. The hotel we will probably be at does not offer this. Anything on Luau's in the book?

I was just there in January! Hanalei Bay is beautfiul!!! Just know that side of the island rains more...but it rains in Hawaii all of the time.

 

I love Tidepools and Roy's...so yummy.

 

We went to the Beach House and had a very bad experience. That was just us, but both of our dishes were unedible. We were upset since it was so highly recommended. Oh well...that was the only bad meal we had.

 

I am jealous...can I come to your weddinghuh.gif

Yes, Yari! What are you doing the week of July 12-18? hehe. I agree with Alyssa who said she secretly wishes some BDW gals will show up at our weddings! That would be sooo much fun!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
