Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel

nner, Melanie, is amazing and worked really closely with me on every single detail. She was able to execute what I had in mind down to every single detail. Since we were planning a destination wedding, we communicated mainly through email (although she was always available via phone as well). She was extremely responsive to all of my questions and always came prepared with ideas on how to execute my very detailed vision. Before the actual wedding day, she helped set-up a luau the night before our wedding, which was a welcome dinner and went out of her way to make sure we got the very best deal. She even helped ensure we got the best spots at the event and put welcome bags out on each of our guests' spots. On the actual day of our wedding, she managed all the details, so I did not have to worry about a thing. She had such a great attitude and was available to meet as often or as little as we needed before the big day. Secondly, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. All of my guests stayed at the hotel and loved the beach and the pool bar. This is one of the only hotels in Kona that has a beach, so they especially loved that. The hotel has a coffee shop inside along with a ABC store, which definitely came in handy! The venue is located in a small beach town with lots of restaurants and bars and shops nearby, which my guests loved too. The actual event site that we had our event on was the luau grounds, which overlooks the water, but is on concrete, so we did not have to worry about sand. We had our ceremony, cocktail reception, and dinner reception all at the same site, and we could not have asked for a better, more picturesque event. Everyone commented that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding as well. Our pictures are amazing because Melanie did an amazing job with our centerpieces and decorations. The site itself is off a bit from the main hotel, so we felt like it was completely private with no random people walking around. The site also has private bathrooms for your guests, so they do not need to walk back to the hotel. I did a lot of price comparisons for a destination wedding (we are coming from DC), and I looked at virtually every hotel on every island, and King Kam, was by far the best deal out there. For the perfect view and location, this price was unbeatable and the customer service was great. At the end of our event, all of our guests commented that this was the best wedding they had ever been to. The next day after the wedding, we also hosted a farewell brunch on the property, and the breakfast was amazing. I can continue writing pages on our experience with Melanie and this venue, but I am always available for specific questions you may have as well, so please feel free to reach out to me. This was my dream wedding at the most perfect venue and I would highly recommend it to anyone in search for a destination wedding venue that wants it to be low-stress, low-cost, but beautiful.

found us amazing vendors for everything, and gave us lots of great ideas for fun things to include. The food was SO GOOD!! We also stayed at the hotel for our honeymoon and it was great, location is perfect, close to everything, staff is CRAZY friendly. They gave us free parking for getting married there, saved us $14/day.

ing but made it the most incredible day of my life. You are the most genuine loving person ever…………………………….. I am the most nervous, stress full, anxious person you will ever meet, and you were able to calm me down, thank you for that, I have never met someone who has been able to do that!!!!!! Your willingness and humbleness is absolutely envious…… Thank you Thank you Thank you

ca Claveran and the rest of the planning staff handled it so well that we have no complaints what so ever! Veronica was so helpful and arranged everything so perfectly. In fact, she was at our ceremony to ensure everything went smoothly. Our guest loved the Hawaiian buffet....everything was fresh and our servers were prompt in providing everything that was needed….excellent banquet service. My friends and family are still raving about the food and best of all is the location for our ceremony. We shared our wedding vows overlooking the ocean and our pictures looked like postcards. I looked over 7 different wedding venues but nothing compared to what I was looking for: reasonable price, the scenery and especially the excellent and prompt service, it couldn’t be beat!! With a beautiful view of the ocean, an organized program, raving reviews of the buffet and excellent prompt service, what more could any wedding couple want. We envisioned a beautiful and smooth wedding and that is exactly what we got. Thank You King Kam for making our wedding party a special and memorable one.
