Loulu Palm

t have asked for anything more. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful landscaping and breathtaking ocean views that made our day feel like a dream. Our special day would not have been possible without the incredible help, expertise, and guidance of our wedding coordinator, Ashley Fennel, and her wonderful team, Monica and Kamala. From our very first phone call to meeting in person at the venue, Ashley was patient, kind, and attentive to every single detail we envisioned. She listened carefully and made sure everything was just as we imagined -- and more. When we dropped off all our decorations and wedding items, Ashley and her team immediately got to work. They knew exactly how to set everything up without needing much direction at all. Everything came together beautifully -- it felt like they had read our minds! We are beyond pleased with Ashley, Monica, and Kamala's amazing work. They made our wedding day smooth, stress-free, and absolutely perfect. We can't thank them enough for turning our vision into reality. Thank you so much, Ashley, Monica, and Kamala -- you truly made our day unforgettable!

so used rentals through the venue that helped streamline the coordination of the event. Less stress is better! We did not feel anything was missing from our day. Ashley Fennell, coordinator -- We used Ashley for full year planning, and I cannot stress enough how truly incredible she is. Attentive, organized, responsive, KIND. She loves her job and is dedicated to making your special day the best you'll ever have. Friends and family couldn't stop saying "best wedding ever" and that's because of her. She has endless contacts and all of our vendors also stated how much they love working with her. I couldn't even muster stress on my wedding day because I knew she would handle everything. Every star goes to her!!

mosphere we always wanted. Nickie was a joy to work with. She was super helpful throughout the planning process, especially when it came to coordinating all of our rentals and paperwork. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made a huge difference, and we always felt supported. Ashley, our full wedding planner, was a total lifesaver. As very Type B people who hate planning, we were dreading the process — but Ashley made it easy, organized, and even fun. She kept us on track with monthly and weekly check-ins and handled every detail with care. She created a detailed timeline and made sure everything was lined up perfectly — and we never once felt overwhelmed. She went above and beyond to make sure we had our vision come to life. The day of the wedding was seamless — everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment without stress. Ashley took care of everything behind the scenes, and it showed. Hire her! We’re beyond grateful for Ashley, Nickie, and the entire team at Loulu Palm. Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding!

ing day turned out to be everything we dreamed of, we wouldn’t change a single thing. Whenever I had a question, Nickie was always quick to respond by phone or email and was so helpful throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, Ashley, our day of coordinator, made everything seamless and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every moment from start to finish. The venue itself is breathtaking, and our guests are still raving about how stunning it was!

eginning, she was professional, calm, and reassuring, and she truly stepped up in every way possible—especially when it came to all the last-minute changes. No matter what unexpected issue came up, Ashley handled it with grace and confidence. She coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, managed the wedding equipment arrangements, and made sure every detail was accounted for. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy our day without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Ashley’s dedication, communication, and ability to stay composed under pressure truly made a difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better lead coordinator. Thank you, Ashley, Nickie and staff for helping us bring everything together and for being such a calm and reliable presence during such an important moment in our lives. With gratitude, Christine & KC

their communication was quick and easy, making the planning process a breeze. The outdoor space was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views that blew us and our guests away. The excellent coordination by Ashley Fennell and beautiful venue contributed greatly to making our special day unforgettable. We couldn't have asked for a more picturesque setting to exchange our vows and celebrate with our families and friends. Our guests loved the wedding and we had the best day of our lives!

them in September of 2023) they were extremely prompt with responses and any questions I had they were so helpful with answering. Nickie was wonderful throughout the entire process. The venue/ grounds speak for itself because come on you can see how incredibly gorgeous it already is but yet somehow they found a way to make it even more stunning and made my wedding vision come to life. They have everything you need to rent and could want, and if they don't they can easily direct you to where you can. They made everything from rehearsal, to set up, to day of so incredibly easy and smooth. I 10/10 recommend them and would get married here all over again if I could. Now onto Ashely. I COULD NOT AND WOULD NOT HAVE made it through my wedding week/ day without her. From our first conversation on the phone while I was deciding which day of coordinator to go, we clicked immediately. Whenever I reached out with a mini crisis or question through out the entire process she was so quick to respond and was so incredibly helpful no matter what it was about. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every single second of our wedding because I knew she was there handling everything. She understood my vision and executed it PERFECTLY. You can tell some people are made to be in this industry and she with her beautiful soul is absolutely one of them. She's such a gem of a human. I promise you, you will NOT regret going with Nickie, Ashely, and the entire Ohana at Loulu Palm. We cannot wait to go back and visit.

s. But that was just the beginning- because shortly after meeting Nickie, we then met with Ashley (the best wedding coordinator on planet earth). Again, after just a couple minutes of chatting with her, we knew she was such a perfect fit for us and felt like we had already known her for years. So it wasn't even a question for us- but if it is for you- my advice would be to just do it. Without Ashley, our special day would not have even come close to how perfect everything was. Not to mention all the weeks and months leading up to it- I love how she always kept it real with us throughout the entire process (with timelines, vendor recommendations, design, layout, cost, etc), but with the most warmth and grace one could possibly have. Ashley is now our dear friend and we cannot wait to come back to visit one of our favorite places. 10/5 stars on both Ashley and Nickie and Loulu Palms!!!!

nai. We had a tent in case of rain - it didn't end up raining, but it was actually very nice aesthetically.

the ocean, and the privacy was just perfect for our special day. The backdrop of all of our photos and videos was just perfect. The size of the venue is perfect because it is big enough to have the grand, beautiful vibe, while still feeling so intimate. Nickie and Ashley were both so helpful and welcoming. We really felt so special on our wedding day. You absolutely have to book Ashley as your coordinator! She is AMAZING! My wedding day was PERFECT and I was able to have so much fun and enjoy it thanks to Ashley. I did not have to worry for one second because she had everything handled. She is truly a master of her craft. She loves what she does and it is so evident with the amount of work and care she pours into couples. I don’t know how anyone gets married without her! As soon as she stepped in for coordination, I had my full trust in her. She is organized, prompt, and just fun to talk to. I will keep in touch with Nickie and Ashley because we can’t wait to visit Loulu Palm again for an anniversary trip!

et married. We were greeted and hugged by Nicki at the front. From that moment, we made an instant connection. Upon awaiting the arrival of Ashley, we looked around the area and took everything in; the beauty, the beach, and the vibe. Loulu Palm is one of the most beautiful and breathtaking venues we seen as we looked for our venue. The experience working with Nicki was awesome! She was quick to answer our emails with any questions we may had. Ashley Fennell, our wedding coordinator and our Angel sent from above, was.....honestly, there are not enough words to describe Ashley. What we can say is: Perfect. From the moment we met her and til now, we knew we were going to be tied for life. We bounced ideas off Ashley, and she made our vision come to life. We could not have been any happier with our wedding day. Everything flowed well and we have Ashley and Nicki to thank. If we were to do our wedding day once again, we would definitely have it at Loulu Palm with Ashley and Nicki again. Much mahalo to the Loulu Palm, Nicki Coleman, and Ashley Fennell! We love you both!!!

s all outdoors so take note of the seasons but even though it had some rain during our wedding, everyone loved dancing in the rain! Gotta get Ashley Fennell as your coordinator too! She's so fun and experienced that you know you're in great hands. Our wedding day was not smooth sailing either because there was an accident on the highway that blocked our vendors and guests as well as knocked out the electricity but she handled it so well that we barely even noticed that there was a problem. Can honestly say we got our dream wedding here in this beautiful place!

come easy to me and Nickie and Ashley reassured me and kept us in the know the entire way. Planning a destination wedding from Arizona, while working and going to school full time was a challenge. However, with these two women helping me along the way and graciously handling my indecisiveness via countless emails and phone calls, we had the best night of our lives in June of 2023! They made our dream wedding come true, the night was amazing and ran so smoothly. Ashley was so practical and very honest during the planning process. She’s so personable and very knowledgeable and I love that she loves her job so much! We would recommend Loulu Palms and Ashley, the DOC to anybody and everybody!! -The Morenos 💓

ringing our wedding day together. We got so many compliments on the venue! They were easy to work with and were responsive and timely. I would highly recommend booking your wedding here!

ff without a hitch. We were so nervous about planning a wedding from scratch in a different state/time zone, not being able to meet with vendors face to face. We even chose Loulu without seeing it in person but we knew as soon as we found it that it was the place for us. Still, working with Ashley gave us huge peace of mind throughout the entire process, from vendor research to event details to day-of festivities. She took time to get to know us as a couple and then made great recommendations and facilitated connections for us to figure out what we wanted our day to feel like. She guided us through the process so seamlessly, it never felt like a chore to plan the wedding, and we always felt energized and excited after our calls with her. Once we knew high winds and rain were in our forecast, she and Nikki (venue manager) alleviated our stress and helped us pivot from the lanai to tents no problem. In the end, we had an amazing, blessed, rainy, sunny, gorgeous, classic North Shore wedding that was all that we dreamed and more.

wave! I'm not going to lie I burst out in tears when we walked throw the back doors and I saw the whole thing in person for the first time!! From booking to planning to the actual day everything was smooth and stress free. We were on a tight budget and Ashley made it possible to still have a wedding in paradise and not burn a whole in our pockets. She made it so easy and fun. When we got there the day off even though we were running a bit late she made me fell calm and relaxed she kept telling me not to worry and that she had everything covert and she sure did!! We had a whole room to get ready the room was a good size and it was just me getting ready in it. It did have AC which was PERFECT! One thing I would recommend it use the whole day! We had it from 11 am to 11 pm but didn't start until 4 pm so I would say have an early ceremony so you don't have to rush anything and just enjoy the time! We had the following Vendors: Bartender: Recommend by Ashley Issac (He was the BEST and every one loved him) DJ: David Asing (I was a little upset with him because he messed up our first dance but we just went with it. I'm sure there was just some miscommunication he was pretty basic but it was good for the cheap price, we also got the fire dancers and drum players with him which were GREAT but they were 2 hours late and even though we paid for 15 min I'm positive they weren't even there for 10 min, but over all the guys were great and our guest LOVED the surprise. Catering: Keneke's Bluesky catering(also in the recommendation from Ashley) (I have not express how AMAZING THE FOOD WAS!!!! And not to mention within our budget!! I had made so many changes and Carmela was the one who helped me every step of the way!! They even let us take the left overs home and the staff was great!! Seriously everyone kept telling us how this was the only wedding they had every gone to that had GREAT food!! We had the following; Keneke's "Sit Down Serve" Wedding Special 1 Meat Choice: Hibachi White Meat Chicken 4 Pupu Choices: 1. Shoyu Poke 2. Mango Chicken Skewers 3. BBQ Pork Skewers 4. Shrimp Cocktail 1 Salad Choice: American Iceberg (can we get Ranch with this) 1 Bread/Roll Choice: Traditional Butter Rolls 2 Starch Choices: 1.Garlic Red Potatoes 2. Yakisoba Wedding Day of Coordinator: Ashley Fennell (AMAZING) Wedding Officiant: Kalona Ortiz, she was great and I was able to create the whole ceremony from drafts she gave me. Also for a good price Cake: A Cake Life, the cake was a little more expensive than what I was hopping for especially since it was a small 2 tier cake. BUT it was so worth it and they got it SPOT ON to what the picture I had send them and the flavor was ALL there besides me only getting ONE bite for the picture it was amazing and everyone kept saying so. We had the (1) 2 tier cake small serves 20-30 Round 6" vanilla chocolate marble cake with chocolate cream and fresh raspberry filling Round 8" yellow butter cake with fresh strawberry cream filling. Shades of teal smooth-ish/ stucco-ish buttercream icing We kept it super simple and didn't do much decorating as the location itself was enough! Don't worry so much about the materialism or decorations just focus on the love in the air and having your loved ones there to celebrate your love!!

ated on the highway, it feels completely isolated and private, with a stunning beach location and gorgeous grassy area and huge lanai. Everyone who arrived was in awe of the location. The team at Loulu Palm were amazing to work with. Lynn and Nickie were so helpful and kind, particularly when we had to change our date about 5 times due to the pandemic! Our wedding would not have happened without the support and care of our planner, Linda Kress, though. Her advice was top notch, she always kept us calm no matter what, recommended the most amazing vendors to us that all did a superb job and went above and beyond to make our vision for our wedding come true. She also had beautiful touches we wouldn't have even thought of - live cutting of coconuts on arrival, a malasada truck, an Aloha sign that looked so good on the hill. On the day she was amazing at making sure everything ran smoothly so that we didn't have to worry about the details. We couldn't more highly recommend Loulu Palm!

ect and we knew we made the right decision to have it a Loulu Palms . FIVE STARS !

r coordinator Linda, was amazing throughout the whole process and stuck with us even when everything was chaos with the pandemic. Finally having our wedding this November was more than we imagined. All of our guests had a blast and said it was the the best wedding they had been to. I would say so much of that was due to how beautiful the venue is and how Linda helped us find the best vendors. Using her coordination meant so much less work for us and she recommended the vendors she works with all the time that know the venue well. She also helped us find ways to save money and stay on budget. If you’re leaning towards a Hawaii destination wedding this is the best hands down venue you can find. You get the views of the beach but the privacy that you won’t get at a hotel or resort. All of the staff at Loulu Palm are so friendly and want to make it the day of your dreams. 100% recommend to anyone looking at a Hawaii wedding. You will not be disappointed.

and design set up and they made it happen with any issues. Their team and event set up crew were so fast and professional. The MVP of our wedding definitely goes to our weddings coordinator, Mrs. Linda Kress. She was so fun and easy to work with. When my wife and I stressed out she was there to calm us down and handle everything thing for us. Whenever an issue arised she always had a plan B and C ready to go. I just want to thank again Linda and the Loulu Palms team for a wedding my wife and I will never forget.

eir communication is so easy. This venue has the best of both worlds-ocean and Mountain View’s AND it was completely private! The estate is drop dead gorgeous alone so you barely have to decorate it but I was really passionate about tropical flowers and hired Ocean Dreamer for all of my florals- my wedding arch, bouquets and table center pieces and it was absolutely gorgeous! I feel so lucky I was able to have my wedding here and know that my family and my husband and I will forever hold Loulu as a special place in our hearts. Every single person we worked with that was recommended by Ashley Fennel was so amazing to work with- I completely trusted her with everything and she exceeded my expectations. I had the most care free day all thanks to Ashley at Loulu and she was so down to earth and genuinely made my big day the most amazing day of my life-truly! I feel like people were exaggerating when they say that but it couldn’t be more accurate! It’s natural to forget things with all the stuff going on for your wedding and Ashley had a solution for every little thing! I had trouble talking to my Officianr about a “lei ceremony” and she was my voice to make sure I got what I wanted and also I forgot to get a lei for my brother to walk me down the aisle and luckily she was able to get one from the officiant for him to wear! Came out amazing in my photos, and I also forgot my garter and she had the idea to use my flower crown and put it around my leg and I was still able to have the traditional garter toss because of her quick and creative thinking! These are only a few of the amazing things a coordinator can do when you are under pressure on your wedding day- there were so many things that I got wrong and she was able to fix and come up with a creative solution to every single one. Hire Ashley Fennel as your coordinator- you will be so thankful you did!!

the north shore of Oahu that is far enough away from anything that it more or less has its own private beach. Our coordinator was Ashley, who was extremely helpful and with us 100% throughout the process. We planned the wedding from Texas, so we relied heavily on her recommendations for other vendors making the entire experience smooth and absolutely wonderful. She was extremely easy to work with and we had no issues at all. We highly recommend Loulu Palms & Ashley for anyone looking to have their wedding here.

t above and beyond to make sure that everything was exactly how we hoped it was. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the ceremony location was. Thanks to all the Loulu staff for making our dream wedding come true.

ything going smoothly and exactly the way I wanted it. Book a year in advanced! They run out of days very quickly. I recommend hiring Linda as your DOC when you book the venue. I couldn't have done it without her.

all of the employees were kind, helpful, mindful of our budget, and responsive. I can’t recommend this venue enough! We cannot wait to return one day.

elied heavily on their recommendations for other venders and no one disappointed, everything blew away my expectations. Ashley in particular was such a help with coordinating the venders and gathering the important information and helping make the time line and ensure everything went smoothly throughout the day. She even let me ship stuff directly to her in Hawaii so I did not have to pack it with me. Also the venue is breathtakingly beautiful. I had 51 guest and we were on the lanai. I was worried the yard would look empty compared to the pictures with the big tents but it was a beautiful view and many people walked over to the beach and we all took sunset photos together. I would get married here over and over again, I highly recommend this venue and booking Ashley as a coordinator! Also definitely stay at Turtle Bay. We did the condos and it was a 5 min drive and they have beautiful beaches and restaurants and is centrally located between most things on the north shore.

edding vibe while being able to customize it to your desire. My husband works for the hotels and we were so happy we did not go that route. We were truly able to make our own dream wedding right here in the most beautiful part of Oahu. Thank you again!

am we were able to relax and truly enjoy the whole day. She helped up cut costs in areas we didn't care about and put it into areas we did. She was communicative and fun and we are thrilled that we made a friend of her as well. Would definitely recommend her for any of your wedding planning needs.

edding back home, while living in Austin TX, was a bit of a challenge. Not to mention the 5hr time zone difference and the uncertainties of the ongoing pandemic. But Linda has been such a blessing through all of it, being very flexible and resourceful, constantly checking in to make sure we were on top of everything. She gave so many awesome suggestions and helpful tips to keep within our budget. Linda and her assistants also definitely put in the manual labor on the day of, too; making sure the decorations and equipment were all perfect. And even bringing my husband and I pupus while we took formal photos, so we didn't miss out on any of it during the cocktail hour. The vendors (Keneke's, Cortney Crane Events, Akahi Productions, Red Ring Media, etc.) she recommend were also spectacular! Hearing my friends and family rave over the execution of the wedding and the location was the cherry on top of such a tough year for so many of us. If I could have a wedding here again and again, I would!!!

n a wedding planner. She was chock full of creative ideas and solutions to help turn our disparate—often incoherent—visions and daydreams for our big day into a reality. She gave us honest recommendations on the vendors, furniture, equipment, etc. she thought were best suited for our event – frequently checking in with us along the way to ensure we stayed within the confines of our budget and helping us adjudicate our “ABSOLUTELY need-to-haves” and our “nice-to-haves.” She kept us on task – often, and I mean often (because we needed it), reminding us to reach out to “so and so” vendor” by “so and so” date to ensure we got “so and so” done. She was on it! But what we appreciated most about Linda was her character. She was warm, kind, funny, and easy to talk to (traits that helped neutralize the inevitable stresses and “what-ifs” that arise when planning a wedding). She truly embodies what it means to live with “Aloha Spirit.” We had the pleasure of getting to know Linda very well over more than a year period, as state-issued COVID restrictions forced us to postpone our wedding, then required that we scale down our guest list. When my wife and I ultimately opted to use the venue for a 5-hour long “styled photoshoot” instead of a full-on ceremony & reception (we had snuck in a small, intimate, wedding on the mainland by this point), Linda was fully supportive and helpful in hearding our boutique furniture and cake vendors in place to provide cool settings & props for our shoot. Loulu Palm is your quintessential vintage Hawaiian plantation getaway, replete with an indescribable unique character and feel. The venue is flanked by a pristine private beach on one side and views of a densely forested mountain range on the other. A long stretch of well-manicured grass and palm trees populate the center. The site rests at a perfect vantage point to watch the world-famous North Shore sunsets. Can’t recommend this venue enough to prospective bride and grooms! Your guests will be mystified by this authentic-Hawaii atmosphere –a great respite from tourist-inundated Waikiki. Oh—and this probably goes without saying—but if you do choose Loulu Palm…also choose Linda Kress to serve as your wedding coordinator!

perfect from start to finish. Linda made our lives so stress free. Linda was so caring and kind and listened to all our wants and needs for our special day. Linda was so organized and detailed. If we did one thing right it was hiring Linda Kress and having our dream wedding at Loulu Palms. I would not change a thing. Still in wedding BLISS. Big thank you to all. I highly recommend.

ss the staff made our special day seem. Linda, is the DOC but has helped in so many ways, from day 1. She listens, helps couples work within budget, is well connected, and can offer suggestions or alternatives to fit your needs. All the vendors and our guests can't stop raving about how perfect our night was. We hope to visit as guests at this incredible venue in the future. F I V E stars and a big mahalo nui to everyone who made our night unforgettable.

t making sure everything was set up on time and no issues with the venue change. We had everything we needed to make the night perfection. Their venue is TO DIE FOR! If you haven't been, ask for a tour and you will be sold! It's on the beach but the garden view is amazing, the sun sets perfectly so you aren't even blinded if you do a sunset event.

cancel due to the pandemic and state regulations this summer, they would not give a cent back to us! If you are to book this venue wait up until the due date to make any payments. I personally was attempting to be on top of payments and wanted to have our whole wedding paid off before the day came which ended up being a big mistake. I would never have guessed that we would have to cancel our big day but I do wish the venue was easier to work with given that the circumstances were of our control. They kept all of our money including what we put down for rentals (dance floor, lights, linens, etc.) which we clearly never got to see or use. Bottom line I just wish the management of this location was more understanding and easier to work with, we could have had a beautiful wedding and would not be out $8,000 if they cared about their couples.

making it hard. But once we got off that plane and Linda came to see us face to face, that stress went away. The personal touch and attention she gave us was unlike anything I expected, and have never had before. She was prompt and professional, but kind and relatable. She not only kept our finances where they needed to be, but also gave us real talk about what we actually did and didn't need-all while keeping a smile on our faces. Throughout the whole process, she was there. She kept us on point, under budget, and overjoyed. She kept in contact with us via phone and text before, during the wedding she was always nearby for anything we needed, and even arranged for us to plant a tree at our venue days after the ceremony. There aren't enough good things I can say about her and her work ethic. Everything we needed, she supplied, and everything we didn't know we needed, she thought of. If you hate money and love stress, look elsewhere. But if you want everything to be perfect, cost efficient, and with a loving personal touch, this is the woman you want on your side. Now, the venue was absolutely perfect. It was spacious while still having a very intimate feel about it. The beach in one direction was immaculate. The mountains in the background of the other direction were breathtaking. And the trees and plants surrounding the venue were lush and beautiful. There was a hammock, lawn games, a fire pit and chairs. The arch they provided for the ceremony was lovely, the chairs for guests to sit in were comfortable and organized perfectly. Plenty of well maintained bathroom space was very important to me, and they definitely had that covered. The house and the suites for bride and groom were all temperature controlled and homey-just the thing stressed out bridal parties need. They were able to get us a clear tent set up for the reception which was amazing to be under when the rain came down. The DJ, bartenders, and food left everyone impressed and me and my wife stuffed, drunk, and happy. The venue was more perfect than I could have imagined, and the staff from head to toe was fun and professional. More importantly than anything else though, they made my wife happy and satisfied. By pleasing her, they pleased me, but the Loulu Palm Farm Estate went far above and beyond what was expected, and did far more than others could or would provide. If you're getting married, get married here. Itll be the best choice you can make.

. From the very first time I contacted Linda I knew it was going to be an amazing experience. She made great suggestions and was realistic about staying on our budget. She was attentive and helped walk me through every step of the planning and made the actual wedding day seamless and perfect. She kept a smile on my face and I always felt like she was in my corner. Thank you Linda for making our day so magical and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. As far as the venue... it was so stunning. We got married in front of the beach with the water in the backdrop. It was actually really nice because everyone didn’t have to get sandy unless they wanted to. The florals were so dreamy too. It was extra windy and a little rainy that day so Linda did some quick thinking and put our reception under this gorgeous tent with beautiful lighting. It really was so magical.

beautiful and it does speaks all the Hawaiian vibe you look for when you decide to get married in paradise. Also Linda Kress is a God sent, she was with us since the day we hired her as our day of coordinator. We had so much fun planning our wedding with her assistance, all the vendors that she recommended did a great job, and went beyond out expectations, also she made our dream wedding happened in our budget, can it be better then that? We love everything about our big day, Linda and her assistant Lynn with all the Staff were AMAZING, our family and friends still talk about the day as the most beautiful wedding in the most magical place they have ever been!

as always at the top of my list when it was finally my turn. This was the perfect because I always wanted to get married on the beach but my husband didn't want to get married in the sand so this was a great compromise (if you can even call it a compromise). You get married with the ocean behind you and you also have all the beautiful Hawaii landscape around you, all in your own very private estate. This was a semi-destination wedding, we live in Los Angeles but a lot of my family is in Hawaii so hiring a coordinator was very necessary for me in order to do this from afar. I hired Linda Kress based on other recommendations and she did not disappoint! She is a MUST HIRE and some sort of wedding superhero. She is really on top of her game. She had great recommendations for vendors and she just made the whole process so much easier and less stressful. Definitely recommend the venue for a nice private ceremony and reception. The whole thing was really easy from start to finish as far as communication, setting up times to view the venue and meet with Linda etc. I also really liked having everything in one place. I wish I could do it all over again...the day, not the planning part :) We are still reliving our special day over and over gain.

we looked at in Oahu. A lot of couples get married in Waikiki or Honolulu just to say they got married in Hawaii. The amount of money you spend having a wedding there can go a long way if you get married at Loulu. The day we took a tour of the place, we knew we wanted to get married here. We did go over our budget but it is well worth the money. Also, having Linda Kress (Day Of Coordinator) by our side the whole way made the whole experience even better. She's a "Day of Coordinator" but she is with you from the day you choose her till days after the wedding. We trusted her with all her suggestions and recommendations. She is a must in your wedding planning. You will not regret choosing Loulu Palms as your wedding venue. There were times that communication was a problem due to us being in the mainland during the process. But our questions were always answered in due time. My wife and I highly suggest Loulu Palms.

ery single vendor we had was so nice and welcoming. We decided to hire a wedding coordinator that the venue provides and I highly recommend doing this! Linda was the absolute best and a MUST HAVE on your wedding day!

ning on having my wedding there . However, our guest count ended up being too high for the intended venue and so we were advised to consider Loulu. I loved Loulu palms the moment we drove in, the private yet expansive property was a beautiful hidden gem. We booked the venue and began planning. I wanted a simple and affordable wedding that would truly be more about the experience of a vacation with friends and family rather than about the pinterest type details. As we got rolling I began to get overwhelmed with venue nuances such as having to rent certain items from Loulu , clean up of the entire house before departure and other particulars that made me start to think that maybe I should have stuck to my original venue. I had a wedding planner already, but the owner suggested I reached out to one of Loulu's wedding planners and after looking at reviews I decided to reach out to Linda Kress. After my conversation with her all my worries were put to rest and she assured me that what I wanted was possible and that she could bring it all together for me. My original planner was great, but having someone who knew the property was priceless. Linda was always available and very knowledgeable. She helped me find areas to save money so that I could splurge in areas that meant a lot to me. I had previously planned 3 weddings and am a perfectionist in nature- so I knew what needed to be done, However, at a large, un-staffed venue such as Loulu, Linda was key in pointing out details only someone who knew the property would know. Such as needing extra bussers/ water service to assist the caterer and clear dishes. On top of that Linda always helped me find the most economical solution- I am so grateful to Linda for pulling all of the details together for me, working with my vendors and my budget to create my dream wedding at this beautiful location. We stayed down the road in houses on the beach and after 4 days and lots of partying at those houses it was the perfect, beautiful escape and change of scenery for both my guests and us. Linda set up a beautiful welcome table with leis and welcome drinks and pog, from the moment my 100 guests set foot on the property they were in awe. In hind sight, there is always something you would change or tweak but I would never change my venue or my wedding planner. Thank you so very much Loulu and Linda!

an intimate feel, and you have the property to yourself (some other venues tend to have multiple sites or public access) 2. The venue staff are super friendly and accommodating. (Nickie was so helpful in helping with details, budget, and making sure everything was perfect for our big day!) It makes the process that much more easy and fun when you work with people who are understanding and flexible. 3. The wedding coordinator that we had was Ashley...this was the best decision we made for the planning. Ashley was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She met with us weekly (we're on the mainland so she was able to meet with us via phone and facetime) and kept us in check to make sure we were meeting deadlines for details. My husband and I were so busy with other things going on before the wedding but Ashley took a huge load off our shoulders- granted her role was to coordinate but she did more than that. To name a few- she allowed us to use her mailing address so that we wouldn't have to pack anything from the mainland, she picked up items and ran additional errands for us, and even after we already booked services she negotiated pricing with the vendors for us. We were so blessed to be able to get this beautiful venue. Our guests had a memorable time. We plan on coming back next year to visit the venue and say hi to our new friends Nickie and Ashley!

e unbelievable. The house was adorable, functional and the perfect space to get ready in. The guys commandeered the yurt (man cave) with our puppy (who I should mention, was able to be apart of our day because Loulu is pet friendly!! He even visited the property with us prior a few times to get used to it). I was able to have both my ocean and lush greenery, with the beach as our backdrop. What?!?! It was perfect outdoor location for our friends and family who lived on island and even more perfect for out of towners. Nikki, Linda and their entire team were responsive and helpful from the start and I knew I had nothing to worry about day of. Their vendor list was magical and we couldn’t have asked for more.

a tent or use the lanai or both, there is no place else like this. You have the freedom to do anything you like with the space to make it your perfect day. We booked the venue, sight unseen, and are so happy we did. We worked with Nickie to book and when we went for our first visit, we met Linda Kress, our wedding coordinator. Linda will make everything happen for you, and save you some money while doing it. She is thrifty, smart, experienced, and knows all the contacts to get you what you want. She will respond to all your emails, get on calls with you, and makes wedding planning seem easy. Our wedding day went so smoothly, without any hiccups, all because of Linda. I can't stress enough how wonderful Linda is. If you're thinking of having your wedding at Loulu Palm, I highly suggest you book the venue now and work with Linda to make your day the best day ever.
