Hi all

 

I have decided to be married on Oahu. I am more excited about spending two weeks on the North Shore after the ceremony than the event itself but I do want a nice, quick, private ceremony. I was in contact with Best Bridal about their Angel Garden venue but it sounds like it is a residence in a neighbourhood where the neighbours are right there beside you. So I am now trying to find another option for the ceremony. I was hoping to stay for a few nights in Honolulu at the Hilton Hawaiian Village so that we could get some city/shopping time in, get married and then head north.

 

Please tell about your experiences and the pros/cons to each!!!

 

Thanks so much

Jenny

Hi Jenny...

 

My daughter is getting married at the HHV in the Ocean Crystal Chapel this June.  It's a great location and a beautiful resort.  I know that the Ala Moana Beach park is right next door practically and people get married there all the time.  There are so many officiants that it should be hard to just hire one and have a quick private ceremony like you want.  I think Magic Island is right there with the park and it's supposed to be really pretty.  Also, Best Bridal has the Gazebo at the Ocean Crystal Chapel which is gorgeous.  Beautiful landscaped grounds for pictures too.  The Gazebo is WAY cheaper than the chapel, but then I don't know what you want to spend.  Might be worth a look though!

 

Some people posted things about lots of people, etc around the HHV and the chapel, and this is true, HOWEVER, I've been there the last 2 Junes and there are like 3 weddings a day, it's such a common event that people don't stand around and gawk and there are not that many people walking on the path right there where you'ld be taking pictures.  I have lots of pictures of the gazebo, etc, there were no people around hardly.  If you want them just email me (don't message me through here, I don't get on often)   email at: [email protected]

We're staying on the North Shore (in 4 months and 3 days!!!!), getting married at Paradise Cove, and having the reception at Tiki's in Waikiki.

 

I tried contacting beaches and backyards to cater our welcome dinner.  They took forever to get back to me and their response was "We'll be on vacation during that time.  Sorry."  Not even a recommendation of who else we could use - really short and unprofessional I thought. But they came highly recommended to us.  Ryan the owner of mobile bartending is wonderful!  They will create a signature drink for your party, serve all the drinks, (alcohol or not).  For wedding planners, we are using Tori with Hawaii Island Wedding Planners they have been amazing so far.  They have an A+ with the BBB, so I would check out the one you want to use there first.

 

I can't wait!  Good luck!

      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!
