It took me so long to find a venue I liked-- but luckily I found the Salt Farm and knew instantly it was perfect! We wanted something spacious, not a resort, on a beach, and with amenities. The Salt Farm just checked all the boxes so it was an...
easy choice. Every single one of our guests said it was the best venue they'd ever been to on the island. Our wedding was so perfect, and we got an incredible sunset too! Jen is so accommodating and helpful, it made everything amazingly easy. Can't wait to have more events here-- Mahalo guys!!

Rachel, we loved being the chosen Venue for your beautiful event! I especially loved seeing all your guests have such a fun time and the great photos you shared with us. Congrats again, and Mahalo for the kind words. -Jen
We had our small wedding at Kona Salt Farm and had an amazing experience! We are from Pennsylvania and we picked this venue based off of pictures on their website and it was more than we could have ever imagined. Everyone that we worked with ...
was so kind and helpful and this location really made our wedding day special.
The moment we learned about the Kona Salt Farm from our wedding planner was the same moment we crossed every other option off of our list. We immediately knew it was the perfect venue for our intimate ceremony and farm to table dinner/celebrat...
ion. Kona Salt Farm set the stage for the most magical day of our lives. Not only did all go exactly according to plan, in large part thanks to Jen and her team, there were many surprising magical moments we didn't even dream possible. Such as the glorious waves gently crashing behind us during our ceremony, stunningly captured by photographer. Or the orange flash of a sunset that seemed to show up just for us, electrifying our evening. And who could forget the beautiful whale that stayed practically all wedding long, as if he/she had actually received an invitation to be there! Our guests are still convinced we hired a mechanical whale:)
Any questions?
Absolutely fantastic venue! The whole day was perfect, thank you so much to Jenn, Jeff and Effie for making our day magical and special. The rooms to get ready were gorgeous and helped immensely. Would highly recommend, even on an extremely win...

Thank you Matt & Melina! Congratulations again, your wedding was so pretty.
Unfortunately, at the time of our event, this was a bit of a new venue where they have not worked out all the bugs yet.
This being the case, we were a little mislead by the pictures provided by the Salt Farm's event person and one of the furnit...
ure pieces was not in usable condition. Communication was a little spotty which resulted in some confusion with usage of "common spaces".
Keep in mind that the grounds are what you make it.
Despite some small miscues our event turned out great.
I would definitely recommend this as a nice event venue but advise that patrons make sure to be thorough about their preparation, intentions and communication with the coordinator.

Thank you Jared & Casey for your review, we appreciate you taking the time to give us feedback. We are continuing to improve our space, and have added new furniture to our venue, in addition to our Day Dressing suite and lounge for couples to ...
use on property. We also have a new Deep Sea Mineral Foot Soaking cabana.
This was the perfect location for my boho tropical beach wedding. The property is amazing, private, and affordable. This venue will not disappoint.

Thank you, Amy! We appreciate your thoughtful review and were happy to be a part of your very special day. You looked Beautiful!!
I am a wedding planner and work here all the time. The venue owners are lovely and the space is unlike any other on the island!
it is just a super private oceanfront venue with a natural Kona landscape.
This venue is very dessert-y and doe...
s not have the “tropical” landscaping that most of the Kona hotels have. It is all sand, native grasses, green bushes, lava rock, and crushed coral. If you like this vibe, this venue is truly one-of-a-kind!
Some great pros for this venue: Super private and very beautiful! They allow any catering and any alcohol. You do not have a noise restriction and can pay extra for a later wedding end time than most venues (most Kona venues have a noise restriction making their latest end time 10pm). They have two air-conditioned suites for your wedding party to get ready and nice bathrooms for guests. They also have a prep kitchen for your catering staff.
Love that it is right on the ocean with beautiful sunsets and the flexibility of the vendors that you can bring in.

Aloha, my name is Jen, and I am the Events Director at the Kona Salt Farm. I know Hawai'i is a very special place to say 'I do'. I grew up on the island of Oahu, and my husband grew up here on the Big Island. We now raise our little daughter and new pup in our little beach shack down the road. Having run my own small PR & creative company, I have done many corporate events, art events, and intimate affairs, so I know the importance of a well-planned event. Now I get to be behind the scenes of stunning weddings at the Kona Salt Farm. I look forward to sharing our special venue with you.
