Review: Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues Hale Koa Venue
Overall Impression:
The Hale Koa venue was absolutely stunning and exceeded all expectations for my wedding. The owner Pitambar was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and made the entire planning process a breeze.
Positive Aspects:
* Beautiful Private Venue: The venue's private garden setting provided a serene and intimate atmosphere for my wedding. It hosted the entire bridal party and their family housing 37 people days prior to the wedding and seamlessly accommodated 80 day of wedding.
* Relaxed Hawaiian Culture: The venue's location in Hawaii offered a beautiful and relaxed setting that perfectly complemented the private oasis I was shooting for. Having previously lived in Hawaii I knew exactly what I wanted in a beautiful private garden even but also be close to the beach for the rest of the family.
* Helpful and Accommodating Owner: The owner was incredibly easy to work with and provided valuable guidance throughout the planning process even sending me templates to help with planning and layout. On multiple occasions Pitamber spoke with me on the phone going through all my questions and concerns while giving expert advice
* Excellent Vendor Selection: I chose the deluxe option and have to admit I was so nervous to not have total control over vendors but wanted a simple and easy planning process. The venue's recommended vendors were all top-notch and provided exceptional services and went above and beyond to make my wedding a dream-come true
* Stunning Decor and Ambiance: The venue's garden lights, reception decor, and overall ambiance created a magical and unforgettable experience for my special day
Challenges and Solutions:
* Distance and Time Zone: Being in a different time zone and far from the venue made communication and planning a bit challenging. However, the owner's flexibility and the virtual tour helped to address each of these issues.
Conclusion:
I would highly recommend the Hale Koa venue to anyone looking for a beautiful and unforgettable wedding experience. The owner's expertise, the venue's stunning setting, and the exceptional vendor services made my dream wedding a reality.

We chose Oahu Villas and Venues/Hale Koa Estate for our July 2024 wedding, and it exceeded our expectations. The venue provided a beautiful backdrop for our day. The area was fully gated and secure, which allowed us to feel like we were in our own private space. The landscaping was lush and fit perfectly with our vision of a Hawaiian wedding.
We had access to the entire property which included a beautiful home that was perfect for getting ready. Each room had air conditioning which allowed for us to feel nice and cool as we got ready on a hot day. The bridal suite was beautiful and spacious which was perfect for the bridal party. The covered outdoor reception area, which included the dance floor, was a perfect place to dine with our guests and dance the night away. It accommodated 50+ guests comfortably, it was well lit, had room for our buffet style dinner and bar station, and plenty of room to dance.
The property boasts well-manicured yards on multiple sides of the house, which provided areas for the ceremony as well as for casual mingling. The inground pool and jacuzzi were available and provided an area for our guests to cool off. The planning team at Oahu Venue and Villas worked closely with us to determine what our needs and preferences were and by the time we arrived at the venue, everything was already set up exactly how we wanted. The space used for the ceremony was picture perfect. We were able to walk from the house, down the aisle between our family and friends to a beautiful arch to exchange our vows and become husband and wife.
Pitamber (the venue owner) was hands-on the entire time. Communication was swift and convenient, and he always made himself available. He was present on the day of our wedding to ensure that things were going smoothly. His recommendations of vendors to use was excellent. We got the sense that he understood how important these details were to us. Our guests raved about the quality of the catering service. The food was spectacular. Our floral arrangements and table décor was exactly what we asked for, our photography team was professional and engaging, our hair and make-up team made us feel beautiful, our officiant was eloquent, and our DJ and emcee were spot-on.
Oahu Villas and Venues/Hale Koa Estate were incredibly responsive to our questions and ideas. They really went the extra mile to ensure that our day was picture-perfect. We are grateful that we chose this provider and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Katie and Gavin

This is the groom, I just got married here the first week of August and it will forever be the best 4 days of my life. My wife and I attended college in the mainland and have been on countless group trips where we’ve packed 20+ people into houses in Aspen Colorado , Puerto Escondido Mexico, Bocas Del Toro Panama and Cuzco Peru. These trips are always the most memorable because it’s not where you are but who you’re with and although all of the places I just mentioned are amazing, the best part of it was waking up every day with the most important people in your life to talk about the night before and what you’re doing that day. What could be more special than experiencing that in Hawaii?
Oahu is so breathtakingly gorgeous and to have the opportunity to get married on the North East side of the island is an absolute treat. If you are unfamiliar with this part of the island, hop in the car and drive here and it will convince you to do it. If you see the venue in person, you won’t be able to have your wedding anywhere else. There is nothing like this anywhere else on Oahu and maybe even the outer islands as well. I’m born and raised on Oahu’s south eastern shore and have spent my entire life driving up to this side of the island because of how beautiful the windward side is and jumped at the opportunity to have my wedding here and am so glad I did. Every wedding I went to growing up was in ballrooms in Waikiki and my wife and I had no desire to do that. If you’re going to be in a ballroom, you could be anywhere in the world.
The Hale Koa estate offers the indoor/outdoor experience for you and those closest to you to be fully immersed in the beauty that is Hawaii. Don’t be phased by a bug here or there as you are in the most remote island chain in the entire world and even in the most affluent properties (Kahala, Hawaii Loa ridge, etc.) you will encounter a gecko, frog, ant or cockroach. The property is very clean and well cared for. Pitambar and his staff are extremely professional and were easy to work with prior to our stay and through the entirety of our time there. I would highly recommend that anyone looking for the backyard Hawaii wedding of their dreams stay here with those closest to them.

The experience at Oahu Wedding Villas/Hale Koa Estate was unmatched. I always wanted a backyard wedding, and this place made my dreams come true Pitambar and Calvin were so easy to work with. Pitambar was so communicative and flexible. Anything I needed prior to the wedding, I reached out to him to help plan, and he really delivered. He helped us get 2 shuttles from downtown and brought them up to the property for us to use, something that wasn't initially offered, but explaining to him our plans, gave this idea! We had many questions about the amenities, and he answered all of them and more. We asked about the speaker setup, he then sent pictures over text to make sure we knew exactly what was there.
Pitambar and his team were available during our stay and attended our events (rehearsal dinner and reception) to make sure everything was running smoothly. They really felt a part of our weekend, in the best way. I felt so comfortable having them around and trusted their work. There is a bit of DIY involved with a venue like this, and not having a wedding planner added even more to my plate. I brought up all decor and serving materials. Without needing to provide much, if any direction, the team at the Hale Koa set up the tables with all materials perfectly (with some help of my coordinator).
This place is so special, my 37 friends cannot stop talking about how we will be back for my husband and my 5 year anniversary to all celebrate like this again! I wish we were still here, celebrating, making more memories, and enjoying this incredible space. we stayed on the property for 4 nights and the 39 of us were very comfortable with the accommodations. We hired extra cleaners through Pitambar for 2 days after the events to clean up after the late nights, and the cleaners were awesome! Huge help.
I didn't even mention how beautiful this place is- you can see in photos, but wow- you've got to see this in person. It's truly breathtaking. We had so much fun trying to photograph in every space available on the property.
It's been about 3 weeks since the wedding, I can't stop thinking about this place and my friends and family can't stop talking about it. This place is everything and more. I wish I could give 6/5 stars here. Thank you Hale Koa for the wedding of my dreams. :) - a VERY VERY happy bride.

Hello. So I'm not very good with the process of making reviews. But just had to! I attended my buddys wedding at this venue in hau'ula. And 😲 it was an oasis in the middle of hau'ula. Ceremony was beautiful after we had a cocktail hour in a back lawn and an amazing dinner in a tent. A huge tent with a dj and catering.. its one of the best parties I've been to. Then, my buddy Micha says come check out the house..as we walk by a swimming pool...( I'm like WTF..) We go upstairs to a movie theater. One of the best experiences ever...thanks Micha and willow for the invite! EPIC!!!

We were looking for a place close to a nice venue and we got so lucky to find this beautiful villa that housed both our families and had the wedding we dreamed of.
Our immediate families live in different countries and being able to have everyone in one house for 4 days allowed us to bond and get to know each other better. We made so many memories in this beautiful place! ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful venue, great destination wedding, eveyone said it was the best wedding they ever been to in their entire life! Right when I signed up with the knot, I found this place within a week. I inquired 5 places, most places didn’t get back to me and some place were very expensive. This place was the perfect comfortable destination wedding for large parties. First off, I was looking for an Airbnb situation that could sleep over 30 people Because it was a destination wedding. I chose north shore because it’s less crowded and made it a little adventure for people. Not the usual Waikiki everyone goes too. I looked at the pictures of the previous wedding and the house pictures and I was in love. I booked the house for 5 days 4 nights. 2 days before the wedding day and after wedding day so I wouldn’t be in a rush to check out. The house itself: beautiful mansion. Like in my dreams I couldn’t even imagine a home so nice with the most beautiful trees and plants. I am a crazy plant lady. I love gardens and the landscaping here is beautiful and natural looking. I knew I didn’t need to spend too much money on decorating because the natural garden was enough. I spent about $300 on flowers for the bouquets and Nick nacks. The kitchen was open and full stocked. There was a fancy espresso maker that we didn’t actually figure out how to use. The house has like 6 fridges and freezers. It even has an industrial ice maker. So much space for catering and storage. We went to Costco before we got to the house and stocked the house with enough for the week of and the wedding day. We used the bbq before and the day of the wedding. My parents stayed in the mother in law house. They thought it was so big and quiet. It was the perfect fit for them since they are older and the main house was more younger people.
The wedding day: we had some crazy rain and wind but the day still turned out perfect. Our beach ceremony was quick and short, it rained at the end but that is considered lucky. The shuttle service to the beach was great and the communication was on point with my day of wedding coordinator and the staff/ driver. The house even had beautiful floral arrangements that I used for my arch! How convenient is that?! The owner of the house even greeted us with beautiful leis upon our arrival! It’s really the small details that make our event special and those were one of them. My lei smelled so good eveyone though I was wearing perfume.
The side parking at Amy’s parking was great for the parking overflow. I had all the vendors park at the property and the guest park at the over flow parking lot. I wanted to set some tables up in the garden for the wedding but we ended up just setting up 15 tables under the tent. That was a great decision becuase eveyone was together and if it rained eveyone was dry. Also the way the garden and the house is situated, it blocked out most of the wind which I was a little worried about. It turned out to be a beautiful wedding and now a lot of people who attended my wedding wants to return to the same venue for their wedding anniversary or wedding vow renewal. I would highly recommend this venue if you want something laidback and naturally beautiful!

My husband and I had a great week's vacation in Hau'ula Macau. A very pleasant and cozy place with the opportunity to swim in the pool and relax in the jacuzzi. The house also has a tennis and billiard table. In the future we want to spend a holiday here with friends.

I had the pleasure of having my beautiful wedding here in November 2023 and just wow!
The moment I stepped into the villa, I was captivated by the exquisite Koa furnishings and tasteful decor. Every corner was thoughtfully designed, creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere.
The ambience created by the outdoor lighting for the wedding ceremony was simply breathtaking. From twinkling fairy lights to beautiful lanterns, the romantic atmosphere set the perfect backdrop for the joyful occasion.
Our wedding at the Oahu Wedding Villas and Venues was just truly enchanting! The beautiful surroundings, careful attention to detail, lovely Koa furnishings, cozy accommodations, and amazing views all made our celebration of love truly unforgettable. If you're searching for a dream wedding location that blends elegance with the genuine aloha spirit, I wholeheartedly suggest this venue.

I recently attended a wedding at the Oahu Wedding Villa in December of 2023, and I must say, it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the stunning ceremony on the beach just 5 minutes away from the villa, to the attentive and kind staff, everything was perfect.
The grounds of the villa provided a breathtaking tropical backdrop for the wedding picture. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers created a magical atmosphere that made the whole event feel like a dream. Speaking of flowers, the deluxe package included beautiful floral arrangements that added an extra touch of elegance to the occasion.
The food served during the reception was simply extraordinary. Every bite was delicious and perfectly cooked. From the appetizers to the main course, we were truly impressed with the quality of the meal. Additionally, the photography service provided was top-notch, capturing all the special moments beautifully.
During our stay, we took advantage of the villa's amenities. The pool and jacuzzis were the perfect spots to relax and unwind after the excitement of the wedding. We also thoroughly enjoyed the 8k movie theatre, which provided an amazing cinematic experience.
With 37 guests staying over for several days, it was essential to have ample room, and the Oahu Wedding Villa did not disappoint. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, ensuring everyone had a pleasant stay. The shuttle service to and from the beach was efficient and always on time which ensured all of our guests were seated at the beginning of the ceremony.
For the additional guests, the proximity of the Laie Marriott hotel was incredibly convenient. It made it effortless for the extra guests to join in the celebration without any hassle.
The luxurious shower rooms, with their wonderful rain shower experience, were another highlight. It was a small touch that added to the overall comfort and luxury of our stay.
From the moment we began the booking process, we were met with professionalism and efficiency. Our questions were promptly answered, and the whole process went smoothly. Additionally, having a parking lot just down the street made it incredibly convenient for all of us.
Lastly, I want to mention how enjoyable the reception was. The music was fantastic, and despite the lively atmosphere, there were no issues with the volume. It created such a joyous celebration that everyone will remember for years to come.
Overall, I cannot recommend the Oahu Wedding Villa enough. The combination of the stunning location, attentive staff, incredible amenities, and convenient services made this wedding a 5-star experience. It truly exceeded all expectations and made for a memorable celebration of love.
Much mahalo to the entire team at the Oahu wedding villas
Sincerely
Pablo

We booked this venue for a family reunion.
I am a cook so I was pleased to see the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to service a crowd.
The gates to the property open to reveal a private paradise oasis.
The indoor wooden rafters on the high ceilings are very interesting and exudes Hawaiian charm.
The beds are really comfortable with crisp white linens. We took the master Suite as we arrived two days early and did some grocery runs to prepare.
I am a bath person, so to soak in the lava carved tub with the faucet coming from the ceiling was luxurious!
Easy communication with vendor...we were left alone to do our thing.
We visit the island often and this venue was by far the nicest ever!
I read not the greatest reviews but was willing to take a chance and glad I did!
There is a screening room where we were all able to watch our family reunion from 10 years ago.
My daughter would like to have here wedding here. I think this would be great, but we will get the event catered for that one!
Lots of value on this property!

Wow, this place in Oahu is a total winner!
The house is stunning, loads of bedrooms, a chill living room with a massive table perfect for a 20-person feast. The kitchen is huge and well equipped, bedrooms are cozy and beds are super comfy. And the pool area? Absolutely beautiful for epic parties! The house is so close to the beach, you can practically taste the saltwater. I will recommend this place to my friends and I wish we come back one day for a anniversary party.
The owner Pitambar was so helpful and kind! Thanks for all you did to make our stay so special!

So, this spot in Hauula, Oahu, for our wedding was an absolute dream! The house is a beauty – I mean, the outside is like a tropical paradise with a massive lawn surrounded by palms and Hawaii's vibrant flowers. And don't get me started on the pool and hot tubs – total chill zone for the after-party, surrounded by those lovely flowers.
The place is so Insta-worthy; we had a blast with a photoshoot thanks to the stunning lights and tropical vibes. Inside, the house is stylish but also super cozy. The bride and groom's bedroom is like a retreat with this crazy cool stone tub right there.
And talk about bedrooms – there are plenty, all decked out in luxury bedding. The kitchen is a chef's dream, and the living room has a cinema setup – perfect for some laid-back vibes. Bonus: it's a short walk to the beach and a quick drive to cool spots like national parks, the Polynesian Cultural Center, stores, and tasty restaurants. Seriously, picking this spot was the best call ever for our big day!

My wife and I hit the jackpot with the perfect tropical setting for our wedding last here September 2023. The owner welcomed us, the wedding couple, with Hawaiian leis and coconut juice, truly infusing the aloha spirit right from our first day!
Our wedding day went smoothly as it can, though minor mishaps are inevitable. The staff worked diligently to ensure everything went according to plan.
The venue had 10 big bedrooms, perfect for our family and friends. After our wedding, we had a chill BBQ hangout night, and everyone enjoyed it, especially the pool and the huge projector screen in the main house.
It was really awesome to have everything done in one place!
We'd love to come back here for a vacation. The cozy vibe and good times we had make it a top spot for us. Highly recommended!

Staff went above and beyond! Our wedding at Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues on the north shore was so much fun!! Memories from the day will last a lifetime.
We didn't realize how much stuff there was to do on the wedding day so we didn't hire their wedding coordinator. But when we weren't sure what/how to do, their staff jumped in and reassured us so we could party lol. From photos to drinks to food to band setup to leis and even finding the guy to perform the ceremony, these guys did it all!
Get their deluxe pkg if you want to relax and enjoy your day without having to organize and be in charge of all the moving parts.

I attended a beautiful wedding in September 2023 at the Hau'ula Estate and wanted to share what an amazing event it was from start to finish!
The lush tropical setting created a casual yet elegant vibe with bright flowers, swaying palm trees, and a gentle breeze.
Adorable signs showed the guests what was happening at photo stations, guest book, appetizers and main meal as well as the dance floor.
The staff were all friendly and helpful and it was obvious a good time was had by all.
I highly recommend this venue! If you're looking to have your wedding party all stay on site, swim, watch movies, hot tub and more, this is a great choice.

DO NOT GET MARRIED HERE. DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE. I would give zero stars if I could. I had my wedding here and It was a waste of money. I am 100% certain the positive reviews here are from the staff members and owners friends, not actual guests. The house is dirty, all the amenities they advertise are broken and unusable, and the house is an honest health hazard (black mold, rats inside). They advertise for a 10 bedroom house but when we arrived, we found that one of the bedrooms was completely unusable. It had an active wasps nest at the head of one of the beds, and the floor boards are rotting out. We had to put our family members in a hotel because this room was completely unsafe. When we checked in, we were hit with a laundry list of amenities promised to us that did not work, and would not be usable during our stay. (pool table is unusable because the felt is torn off the top, the jacuzzi does not heat up and the jets don't work, the projector and screen don't work and wouldn't be usable during our stay, the double shower in the master bedroom temperature adjustment doesn't work- you only get boiling hot water or ice cold water, Etc. The master bed room has an open air attic space that is covered in an inch thick of dust and other bedrooms smell of mold. We tried contacting the staff multiple times to get things fixed, but we were ignored by them during our stay. The estate provided a wedding day coordinator to us as part of our wedding package. Her name was Barbara. She was a complete nightmare the day of my wedding. She arrived and immediately started barking orders at my guests and family members. She ruined multiple special moments throughout the wedding day by barging into the wedding suite during the first look with my parents, or hammering her fist on the door when taking photos with my bridesmaids. My family members overheard Barbara calling the bride (me) explicit names in conversations with her crew members. She brought a dark cloud to what should have been a joyous day. Everyone who attended my wedding had a negative encounter with Barbara and told me about it after. I have reached out to the owner, Pitambar, hoping that he would have some integrity and give us a partial refund for the false advertising of the amenities that were unusable and for the cost of needing to put our family members in a hotel due to unsafe and unclean lodging of that 10th bedroom. However, we are only being met with apologies. They state that things are fixed now but so many things were not usable while we were there. I honestly don't even believe things are fixed and working. This company does not provide what they advertise. The house looks beautiful on the surface but the grounds and pool are not well kept, the house is dirty and the amenities don't work. Don't waste your time or money here. Get married somewhere that will value and take care of you. My friend got married here earlier this year, they experienced the same issues that we did. We unfortunately had already booked and payed for our wedding when they had their bad experience. We brought up these concerns to the staff before our wedding and they promised us that all of the problems would be fixed. However, they lied. Nothing was fixed and the stay was a huge disappointment. This company promises you a beautiful clean home but gives you dirty toilets, broken appliances and amenities and an unusable and unsafe bedroom.

We hosted an intimate wedding ceremony and reception here for a party of 50. The bride and groom both had their support people and respective partners stay in the ample bedrooms and living spaces to ensure a seamless ceremony. The entertainment system in the main living room was simply incredible, and you could see touches of local craftsmanship throughout. We simply loved the space, and the impeccably maintained grounds. We will most definitely be recommending this gem to friends and family for their future celebrations.

Our wedding was so beautiful from start to finish. My dream of showcasing the natural, lush beauty of Hawai'i and sharing it with friends and family came true. I felt so relaxed all day and felt ensured that everything would run perfect- and it did! Mahalo Oahu Wedding Villas for an unforgettable day and experience.

I had the most incredible wedding day at the Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues! The staff went above and beyond to make our day truly special, attending to every detail with a warm and welcoming attitude. The gardens were absolutely breathtaking, providing a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and photos. The ambience was simply magical, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that made the day unforgettable. Overall, it was a fantastic wedding day, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this venue for anyone dreaming of a perfect wedding!

I do not recommend using this venue or working with this company. We had a nightmare experience that we are still going through years later and I cannot express how disappointed I am at their lack of honesty, communication, and professionalism. We have been treated very poorly and wish this on no one else.

Of all the places we considered for our destination wedding, Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues stood out from the rest. From the moment I found the venue online and talked to their team, to when I arrived at the estate, it was amazing! We were warmly welcomed by the staff and blown away by the beauty and size of the property. The private mansion on the estate is amazing, aesthetic decor & so much indoor/outdoor fun, especially the pool! AND, this place is soo close to the beach!
As the bride, I loved the accommodations. One of THE BEST THINGS about this venue is that our bridal party and family were able to stay on the estate with us!! This made the entire experience soo special. We felt like we were in our own little world, surrounded by the beauty of Hawaii. The mansion was a perfect place for us to get ready, so much room to have all my girls with me, and perfect lighting for hair & makeup. When it was time for the ceremony, we stepped outside into the beautiful garden area that was exactly what I wanted! It was the perfect backdrop for us to exchange our vows and celebrate.
The staff at Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues was so friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process, they always made sure that we had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better setting for our special day. Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues exceeded our expectations in every way possible, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and private wedding experience!!

As the groom who recently had my wedding at Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues, I cannot recommend this venue enough. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew we had found the perfect place for our big day.
The private mansion on the estate is an absolute dream, with beautiful wood interior and stunning decor that perfectly captures the beauty and charm of Oahu. It was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and I cannot express how much I loved it.
Getting prepared in the mansion and walking out straight into the perfect ceremony was a truly unforgettable experience. The mansion provided a beautiful and intimate space for us to prepare for our big day, and it was such a seamless transition to walk outside and exchange our vows in the stunning surroundings.
One of the best parts about this venue is that our friends and family were able to stay at the estate with us. This was incredible, and it truly made our wedding weekend unforgettable. The accommodations were out of this world, and we felt like royalty during our stay.
But what really made our wedding weekend special was the staff at Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues. They were incredibly helpful and extremely nice, making sure that every detail was perfect for our big day. They went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and we cannot thank them enough.
Finally, the lush property and beautiful pool added an extra touch of magic to our wedding weekend. We were able to relax and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings, making it the perfect place to celebrate with our loved ones.
I also can’t forget to mention that being able to walk to the beach every morning to watch the sunrise was an absolutely magical experience. It was the perfect way to start each day of our wedding weekend, and it made the entire experience even more special.
Overall, I highly recommend Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues to anyone looking for a beautiful, luxurious, and unforgettable wedding experience. We will cherish the memories of our wedding weekend forever, and we have this amazing venue to thank for that.

Our party rented the entire Hale Koa Estate for a wedding. This is a partial review of the property's guest home only. A thorough examination will soon follow.
The guest home was infested with vermin, cockroaches, and ants. Black mold was present in the bathroom; the bedding was bloodstained. The house was disgustingly filthy, had a foul order, and was in a state of neglect.
The furniture was either dirty, worn, stained, or torn. The lamps were dirty and not operational. The ceiling fans would not work in the evening as the fan and lights worked simultaneously. The sink backed up on the first day, and the garbage disposal was broken. Most kitchen drawers, as did the windows, had rodent and/or cockroach fecal matter present. A large infestation was discovered above the kitchen sink, and one evening, a cockroach crawled on my face; another day, droppings were found on a pillow.
The guest home had many health and safety code violations present, observed, and adequately documented. There were holes in the walls and peeling, stained, and dirty paint. The wood blinds were not fully operational, and the curtains were stained and dirty.
The home was in a different state and had a much different physical appearance than the photographs and video shown before renting. For example, the guest home should have had one bed per room but instead, upon arrival, had three beds per room, all of which were various makeshift furniture pieces thrown together. The home had the appearance of being utilized as a hostel.
I photographed and videoed the property and immediately contacted the property caretaker (Pablo), the property management supervisor (Barbara), and later the owner (Pitambar). I requested Barbara to inspect the property and send many compelling photographs asking for assistance. Barbara did arrange for maintenance personnel to clear the clogged sink and provide one pillow and a sheet set for replacements.
The remaining concerns still needed to be addressed. When I sent Barbara the infestation photographs, she responded, "Oo," and later wrote, "I've been telling him (assumingly referring to the owner) things needed to be clean better and taken more care of." Later, Barbara inadvertently texted me, "This guy just ain't going to stop."
Although the owner stated he was honest, sincere, and big-hearted, he has yet to return my telephone calls or contact requests to resolve the issues addressed. Instead, he told the wedding couple he was completing an investigation and remained steadfast in failing to address the concerns and recommendations made by the family.
The guest home should not be rented for any purpose, less used for a wedding until much construction, extermination, painting, cleaning, and city inspections are completed.
All photographs taken during our March 2023 stay are 100% accurate. (See the pictures posted on Yelp)
As indicated to Hale Koa Estate personnel, "I have never stayed in such a neglected, filthy, vermin and cockroach infested property."
Do right by yourself and your loved ones. DO NOT stay in the estate's guest home!

upon arriving at the Hale Koa, myself and my guests were awestruck with the natural beauty and lush landscaping of the grounds! It was absolutely majestic! The main house was clean and ready when we arrived and the stone tub in the master bedroom is an absolute work of art! the pool and hot tub are tucked in between the main house and guest house and easily accessible, shaded, and perfect for spending the day lounging! This is definitely a 5 star venue! Thank you Oahu Wedding Villas & Venues for the amazing experience!

It's a very relaxing and intimate place to have a vacation with your family.
The venue is so big and beautiful with all of its lush trees! It was just the perfect place for a very relaxing staycation. Both the staff and the owner are friendly and accommodating.

Don't be fooled by all these high reviews like I was! Literally the only regret I have in my life is doing my wedding at Hale Koa Estate. Every single part of it was a nightmare. Now, the only thing my guests say about my wedding is about how the venue coordinator yelled at everyone and bad mouthed me (the bride) to all my friends. It bucketed rain, which can't be helped, but instead of having a plan B like I was promised it was out onto me to come up with a plan. I felt like I was walking on egg shells all day trying to make the coordinator happy and never got to feel like a special bride. There are a million more things I could say but in short my wedding was honestly one of the worst days and the only saving grace was seeing my husband and all my friends. If you have already made the unfortunate mistake of signing a contract with them then just make sure you hire all vendors outside of them and DO NOT say yes to their wedding Coordinator, Barbara.

Venue was gorgeous, photographed well. Working with Barbara and Deva was easy and organized. Tables, chairs, tent, and linens were included and set up by the venue for us. Payments were easy to make. We stayed at the venue for 4 days and had the wedding on the property on the 3rd day, it was a great place to stay with ample space for our wedding party and immediate family to stay with us. Made our wedding magical and ran really smoothly! Gorgeous home and would highly recommend.

We held our small, intimate wedding of 25 guests at the Hale Koa Estate and all of our guests stayed with us there for five nights surrounding our wedding. We had the best experience with the estate and the people who manage and run the property. The estate is beautiful and the front garden was a perfect location for our ceremony followed by our reception in the back garden tent. The day of the wedding, the staff showed up early and set up everything for the event with minimal coordination needed from us. Everyone affiliated with the estate was professional, helpful, and responsive to any and all questions or concerns we had. The main house and guest house was the perfect size for our group, and we had a blast enjoying the property in the days leading up to and following our wedding.

Nothing could have made our day more special. The views were spectacular and the venue really made everything magical, but the venue is nothing without the staff that keeps it up and running. Everyone there made us feel so welcomed and special and their warmth really brought us so much ease on what could have been such a stressful time. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

There truly are not enough positive things I could say in one review that would do Oahu Villa and the hosts justice. This venue was shockingly beautiful with an unbeatable romantic ambiance that made our stay there so enjoyable and memorable! It is perfectly located on the North Shore steps away from the ocean and it's such a scenic drive from Honolulu along the oceanside.
Both the main villa and the guest house are well maintained with high-end finishes and amenities, large swimming pool and hot tub surrounded by the gorgeous garden and magical Hawaiian palms.
And once all the light turn on in the evening, it becomes such a dreamy and romantic oasis, we have honestly never enjoyed any other venue this much!

What can I say but amazing! This place was just fantastic. The layout is perfect, the grounds are breathtaking and the spaces are each inviting and unique. The aromatics throughout the entire venue were refreshing and very welcoming.
There are two different outdoor gardens with very attractive landscapes and sprawling pathways. Walking the grounds will lead you through different walkways that seem to almost fall upon the pools, hot tubs and seating areas throughout the property.
The inside of the home is just another level. The Theater room is a part of the main space that also has this giant teak table that feels right out of the last supper and easily seats 15. The main kitchen is absolutely fantastic and is decked out with some of best cookware and appliances I have seen.
The master suite is right out of a fairytale. The lava rock boulder bath tub was a true highlight and may have been the been my favorite part of the entire venue. The master suit is really a reason in itself to book this place.
As for the staff, I was greeted and supported at every turn. Very low stress, great communication skills. At the end of our stay, we had multiple extras we had added and we needed to split the billing between our parents and our own overages. The staff helped us navigate checkout and split billing with ease and made the stay feel so natural.
I will be back just for a reunion! Thank you for a wonderful stay and a top notch professional staff!

First off, this place is absolutely magical. From its perfect location just minutes from the beach, and with Mountain View’s, to all its amenities and relaxing gardens and tropical plants. The venue is huge and spacious and smells good.
There are no mosquitoes due to their special anti mosquito machine and everything was cleaned professionally and very neat and tidy.
The bridal suite itself was pure beauty, from the huge bath, with tropical views, to the walk in jet shower and fluffy soft bed, it was a perfect dream.
I’m so glad I chose this venue to make one of the biggest decisions of my life in, the wedding plan included everything I needed and made even the catering so much easier and way less hassle. Huge stress relief.
Also, the photos! Just amazing backdrops all over the venue and everyone looked great!
Don’t hesitate to book, you will not regret it!

the business should be full aware of the total sum of transactions instead of relying on us for confirmation on our deposit, as this is poor business management. We paid $26,500 for professional venue & service, yet we have experience the worst. Per our conversation when we first made deposit with signed contract that stated in section #14 on page 10 "deposit is returned 30days after your departure date" in which our departure date was July 21st and today date is Sept 1st yet we still receiving $500 transaction deposit. Zelle is a "peer-to-peer" not a business etiquette. In contracted it does not say anything about return deposit thru multiple transactions for the sum of security deposit.
since everyone not aware of the condition of the property we would like to let you know how are our experience that was neglected- please take consideration of having better professional business service else where
1- main living entertainment system does not work only one right speaker working, due to your property "tech guy" made a big spark on the left speaker the day upon our check in as four of us have witness in front of him. Because of it the projector couldn't be use for guests
2- 3 of the TV in lower floor does not have Wi-Fi communication, we have address it to "the tech guy" and it never got fix
3- all the rugs in the property are stained and darkened
4- the guest house smell like mildew wet rag
5- the main kitchen grill beeps constantly and it was address worker, then he disconnected in-operable and tell us to use the BBQ grill outside
6- the pool side jet spa does not have heat jet inoperable it was address to worker, never got fix
7- both ice maker are inoperable- the worker guy said "coincidently it was down from last venue" and never got fix, in which we have to buy all the ice last minute
8- lack communication between management and worker to include layout requested, on date of arrival.
9- there is no list itemization of any utensil presented to us upon check in and yet we are charge for missing item unacceptable...
Then the of return of our deposit was thru multiple $500 Zelle(peer-to-peer) transaction not professional business etiquette at all. the business ask to confirm how many transaction went thru on Zelle we shouldn't be wasting our time keeping track of your business transaction this is unacceptable. For how much we have paid in sum of $26,500 for your professional business venue experienced, this is by far the WORST!!!

Hale Koa estate was amazing. Pitambar and Barbara went above and beyond with every single needs we had, our interaction in every way represents the Aloha way. Despite planning our wedding here all the way from California in the middle of the pandemic, Barbara always had an open line of communication with us, can’t say enough about the support they gave. Everything about the location is as beautiful as the pictures on the website but a hundred times better when you arrive there. Definitely they maintain the upkeep, and the event/property staff there are super friendly. We will always have fond memories of this place, our wedding was magical.

This venue was a dream come true. Not only was it way above my expectations, but I couldn't even find something remotely comparable for the price. We waited so long to get married because of the pandemic and it was worth it! All of our guests and large extended family had a blast between before and after the wedding between the game room, pool, and movie theater. The garden wedding was like something out of a movie. This experience was so much more than a traditional church wedding could have offered us. Highly recommend!

Oahu is known as the gathering place and the Oahu Wedding Villa in Laie fulfilled that promise. The Villa provided a luxurious, beautiful and relaxing place for our friends and family to gather and celebrate the wedding day as well as the days leading up to it and following.
The villa is both sophisticated and comfortable. It offers many spots to bring everyone together as well as quiet settings for quieter moments. The pool and the gardens that surround the villa are amazing.
The staff at the venue was friendly, polite and unobtrusive. They truly bring the Aloha spirit to their work.
We took advantage of the planning services that were available through the venue and couldn't have been more pleased. Barbara is true professional that understands all of the "moving parts" that must work together to organize a successful event.
The villa provided an extraordinary back drop to the wonderful memories we will hold of this very special day.

This place is unreal. Probably the best wedding I've ever been to... actually, definitely the best wedding I ever went to. Even though we had the wedding on Thursday it actually set the tone for a great weekend. The place has so much plant life and awesome walkways and zones. After we ate that night there was so much going on everywhere it was really cool. Staff and food was good. Things seemed to roll pretty seamlessly and I know that helped with the stress of the day. It's a little bit far from Honolulu but I think that's a good thing. It was quiet and relaxing when we needed it. You definitely feel the Hawaiian vibe I highly recommend.

I rented the villa for my 41st birthday/family vacation. My entire family of 40 was able to stay in this lovely home. From the greeting to the pool and the gardens to the bedding, this house had everything you needed. My family loved every inch of this house. Our host, Phineas and his team were amazing, if we had a question or were unsure about anything, he was a text or call away. I knew that this home was perfect because by the end of the first night, we were already planning our next vacation to the same house. We do hope to come back soon. And we thank you Phineas for hosting us. This birthday/vacation has left me with a full ❤. And I cannot thank you enough🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Blown away having our wedding here this past weekend. The location is perfect- a nice scenic drive from Honolulu, and the house is gorgeous. The property is well maintained and Barbara (the house manager? Not sure of her official title) was so helpful the whole time we stayed. I recommend booking for a few days if you’re having a wedding here. We booked Fri-Mon and wedding was Sat. It was so nice to enjoy the place and not feel rushed to get there on the day of the wedding and rushed to leave after. It made a beautiful and memorable trip for our friends and family as well as we got to invite them to stay in the house with us the whole time. The backyard setup was intimate and beautiful as we made use of all the natural greenery. Truly a unique wedding venue and I can’t recommend it enough!!! We are already talking about coming back to book the property for a future vacation down the road!

Wow, words can't describe how much my family, friends, and myself enjoyed this beautiful estate. Pictures don't do this place justice. It is truly beautiful. From the landscaping, to the furniture, to the pool, this house is truly amazing. Would definitely recommend for any type of fun trip, but especially for weddings/events. I had my wedding here August 25th (when a hurricane was supposedly going to hit the island, it did not) and Narayan was so extremely helpful. He made sure the property was set up for rain and flooding. His team brought in boards, sand bags and an extra generator, among other preparations. And Narayan stayed super calm and positive the entire time. Narayan was also my day of coordinator. He knows all the vendors very well and knows the property in & out, he did such an amazing job. I'm not sure what I would have done without him. This estate and Narayan are truly special!
