The amount of love and praise I have for Denise and Lahaina Loft is endless! From the moment we started emailing and talking back and forth, I knew Denise was the person we wanted...
to work with for our wedding reception. She made everything so stress-free and seamless for our wedding day. She helped make our dream come true for our reception with the tables, the bar setup, and down to every last detail that I couldn't even have imagined adding on. Denise had amazing recommendations for all the catering we needed and helped us stay on budget for our day.
The Loft itself is in such a beautiful and historic location and the view you get from the lanai is breathtaking, especially as the sun is setting. Our guests loved spending time out there even when the sun was set just enjoying being close to the water or even just people watching. The inside was such a great size and had space for almost anything you can imagine. We also loved there was AC for our warm spring night! I can't recommend this spot and Denise enough for any event you might have! 11/10 stars
In December 2022, we held a wedding and reception for 45 people at Lahaina Loft. We initially chose the venue based on location, great space, bay view, price and the ability to cus...
tomize our event. The room itself has beautiful hardwood floors and white walls including some white stone. Great vibe!
Denise was amazing! She was available and gracious during the months leading up to the wedding answering questions, helping with vendor recommendations, flower suggestions, etc. Her "day of" assistance was critical to success of the day. She played and active and vital role ensuring a smooth event. We highly recommend Lahaina Loft!
Denise was amazing! She was our wedding planner and saved us a million times navigating the craziness during COVID. She helped us with planning, communicating with vendors, logisti...
cs and made our big day better than I could have imagined! She knows a ton of other vendors on the island so it was very helpful working with her! She also helped us coordinate our rehearsal dinner, was very responsive, and way always happy to talk to us. We had to deal a difficult vendor, and Denise was able to guide us and even jump in when we needed. Thank you so much for everything Denise!
Lahaina Loft is amazing! We recently held our ceremony and reception here and it was beyond anything I could have imagined. To start with, Denise is wonderful!! She is attentive an...
d her attention to detail is fabulous. Its difficult planning a wedding in Hawaii when you live in Virginia, but she made it a breeze! You can use your own vendors, but she also has GREAT suggestions that all work so well together (she even suggested the best makeup artist to use!) The day of the wedding, there wasn't a single thing I had to address or worry about, she took care of EVERYTHING.
The loft itself is gorgeous. Its very simple so whether you want to use a lot of decorations or just flowers and lighting (what we did) it will look amazing. Also you can't beat the views and location! We were able to walk to the harbor to take pictures and from start to finish, including photography time, we were back within 30 minutes!
I cannot speak highly enough of Lahaina Loft. If you are looking for the most perfect location for your Hawaiian wedding, look no further! You definitely will not regret booking this venue!
Lahaina Lofts is everything you could want! Great owner, beautiful location, and the most perfect space to make any event an incredible and memorable time! Prior to our wedding, De...
nise was so gracious to host us at her venue so that we could meet with our vendors. She listened to every detail of our event and provided great feedback that was very helpful! We arrived a day early to drop off items at her venue and like a true vendor partner, she rolled up her sleeves and helped us unload our vehicle! The night of our wedding, she helped make sure everything went perfectly! We had so many compliments about the great sunset views and how intimate the venue felt! It honestly couldn’t of been more perfect for our 55 person wedding! Thank you Denise and team!!! We highly recommend Lahaina Lofts!
I booked The Lahaina Loft for my wedding day and i am super pleased with Denise & her team. She did an excellent job along with my planner. Such an amazing wedding venue, very excl...
usive, intimate & the view is breathtaking!!! I highly recommend The Loft!!! I originally booked another venue place & got canceled at about 2months prior to my wedding and i am more than happy that this place was available to accommodate my party. We took so much beautiful pictures along frontstreet and The Loft is even more gorgeous inside;-)
We held our wedding reception at Lahaina Loft and couldn't have been more happy with how things turned out! First off, the view is absolutely incredible. You can't beat watching th...
e sunset out on their lanai. Secondly, inside the venue itself is just wonderful. We were thankful for the AC while the large windows serve as a connection to the lanai and outdoors. Lastly and most importantly, we cannot speak highly enough of Denise Black. If you ever get the pleasure to meet and work with her, you'll know right away that she is everything you'd want in an event planner. She welcomed us with warm arms and saved our wedding at the very last second. She was incredibly professional, kind, and so easy to work with! Bottom line- We had the absolute best experience with the Loft and the amazing Denise. Book with her! You will not regret it!
Never in a million years I thought I would be so lucky to have gotten married in such a beautiful setting! Denise at Lahaina lofts made my day so special. She helped me get through...
hurdles and handled all the decorations and I could not be happier that I booked Lahaina lofts. The space, the scenery the support is all 10/10! Thank you Denise!
Denise at Lahaina Loft made our dream wedding reception come true. We got married on 02/20/2021 and had to change our venue last minute. I found Lahaina Loft on the Knot. The momen...
t I spoke to Denise on the phone she put my mind at ease and assured me she was going to handle everything. From decorations, florals, food, bar, linens....everything turned out perfectly. She followed CDC protocols with the pandemic and everything came out beautifully. We were one of the first weddings on Maui post-pandemic so you can imagine the worries and stress of making it all work. Denise made everything stress free!! If you are looking for a thorough, kind, & attentive wedding coordinator/reception venue...look no further! Also, the view from the balcony is to die for. It's simply perfect.
We can't say enough GREAT things about this venue. The location on Front Street provide an amazing view for our small and intimate wedding reception. Denise was an absolute blessin...
g helping us plan our destination wedding during COVID. She anticipated our needs and went out of HER way to help us once on the island to ensure we were able to relax prior to our wedding and reception.
Beautiful venue with a gorgeous view ! Had an amazing time here and everyone was so welcoming and helpful 100% recommended !
I was so happy we found the Lahaina Loft for our wedding reception! It is the perfect event space..air conditioned and beautiful views of Lahaina Harbor. Denise was amazing to work...
with and had a lot of great ideas to help make our day extra special. As well as being a gorgeous venue that was a great blank canvas for our Halloween themed wedding, I loved that our caterers were able to cook our food on site because of the industrial kitchen on site as well as being able to have our event go until midnight, most Maui venues have the 10pm cutoff time but not the Loft. We saved a lot of money by being able to buy our own liquor for the bar. Definitely a memorable night for us and our guests...make sure you check out the Loft if you are looking for the perfect wedding venue!!
Lahaina Loft is a wonderful, air-conditioned venue in Lahaina right on Front Street! It's a nice open space you can make as fancy or as casual as you like. The view from their bal...
cony is to die for! We had our wedding reception here for a party of 20. Everyone had a great time dancing in the loft or else chilling out on the balcony as the sun set.
It's in an excellent central location in the heart of Lahaina Town, right on historic Front Street. Like all the other places in Lahaina, finding parking is somewhat tricky but what's great is it's walking distance from everything. We walked to Lahaina Loft from the church we were married at, Maria Lanakila Catholic Church. Our photographer also took us walking around Lahaina Town so we walked to the banyan trees and the harbor very easily from Lahaina Loft.
Lahaina Loft's owner, Denise, is super nice, so you should have a great time working with her! It was nice meeting her since she's very involved with her venue. She's personable, so it feels more like working with a friend who will care for you, rather than how some venues feel impersonable.
Our decorations were from Fukushima Flowers, Rio Event Design, and Island Rents, coordinated by Jacquelyn Mendoza of Maui Destination Weddings/The Destination Wedding Group. The decorations were gorgeous and made for a fairytale reception. Lahaina Loft ended up being a reception venue that I once thought I could only dream about. I highly recommend Lahaina Loft for a reception!
When I was told to check out Lahaina Loft on Front Street, I admit I was a little skeptical. I walked into the venue with my bridesmaids to meet Denise and do a site walk through, ...
and I was blown away. Lahaina Loft really is a hidden gem. We were so happy to have our wedding there, and Denise is amazing. She helped us every step of the way. Without Denise or The Loft there is no way my dream wedding would have came through. It was so beautiful, my family and friends loved it! Thank you Lahaina Loft!!
