on vacation the week of my wedding, I ended up working with Jen, who was also super amazing. She answered all my questions and helped me plan all the details of my wedding. Including the luau the day before & the dinner at the hotel restaurant after. Jen really want above and beyond. I really didn’t have anything to worry about. The day went super smoothly, and I didn’t even have to put in much work!! It was the best I could have asked for!

he really is an expert in this field because she was able to fill in all the gaps I missed and overlooked. I didn't even tell her how to set up the cocktail tables to display my wedding decor and she was able to place everything in just the perfect spot! I was really stressed about planning a destination wedding during a pandemic and Amy was able to ensure it was a success! I can't thank her and the Royal Lahaina staff enough!! Someone was always available to help us transport wedding stuff from the car to our room and we were given so many convenient suggestions by the concierge! I also wanted to acknowledge Cara, our server at the Royal Ocean Terrace, where we had our wedding reception. She was so sweet and so kind and made our dinner so pleasant and enjoyable!! We are excited to return again to the Royal Lahaina Resort for our 1 year wedding anniversary!!

She was available for anything all weekend! On the day of our wedding, Amy delivered our flowers to the rooms and made sure the ceremony and reception were set up beautifully!! Everything went perfectly, and we contribute so much of that to Amy's careful planning and preparation. She made me feel so confident in the fact that everything would be taken care of! I highly recommend Royal Lahaina for your Hawaii wedding!!

Royal Lahaina Resort’s food was AMAZING. Our guests continue to rave about it. Lastly, the beach is perfect as it is much less crowded than Black Rock Beach next door while still having high quality sand and no sticks/debris.

ina Resort were flawless and so hospitable. It felt like a family, all of the staff was excited for us and congratulating us both before and after our big day! Amy Johnston was my wedding coordinator and she absolutely brought my vision to life. I first met Amy in early 2019 when I was scoping out wedding venues all over Maui. Once, I sat with Amy during our initial appointment I knew that our venue would be at The Royal Lahaina Resort. Everything you need is all in one place. The accommodations, food, entertainment, a stunning beach, whales breaching and swimming just off the shores of the resort, a beautiful wedding location, and, most of all an amazing coordinator, Amy! As a bride planning a wedding for 60 guests, I was meticulous in planning a great experience for my family and friends who flew 2,000+ miles to share this special day with us. I sent Amy an insane amount of emails and questions and she was so gracious and helpful and answered all of my questions promptly and professionally. One of the moments I remembered most was when I was getting my hair and makeup done and Amy brought up our bouquets to our suite. They were stunning and absolutely exceeded the examples that I sent her during our emails back-and-forth. From there, everything that followed exceeded anything I could have ever envisioned. Our officiant, our hawaiian musician, the ceremony, reception, food and drinks were perfect!! To top it off we had an amazing fire show to put an exclamation point on the magical night. The hotel staff, and, Amy were exceptional and took my vision to the next level. Everything that I wanted, Amy made into reality in a way that I couldn't have ever imagined. It truly was a magical day and it was made possible by the great venue and Amy!

iented bride and was looking forward to the package deal the venue offered. Little did I know how great the package would be! As we live across the United States on the east coast and weren't able to make it to the venue before the big day Bailey was super helpful with making sure we had the perfect day we always hoped for. She helped with every little detail and when we met with her a couple days prior to the wedding she was even better in person! We knew we were in great hands and honestly our wedding turned out to be more than I could've imagined. If you are thinking about using the Royal Lahaina Resort for your wedding, first you are making an amazing choice (I didn't even get started on the food. Which was amazing. It was the best fish I have ever had at a wedding and all our guests agreed) and second you must, MUST request Bailey to be your wedding coordinator if she isn't the first option they provide you. My husband and I can't wait to go back for our anniversaries in the years to come. Thank you Bailey, you really made our day picture perfect <3 !

t would take days for her to reply back to my emails and even at that she just wasn’t as attentive as Karlie. A week prior to my wedding she sent me a bill of almost 1k that made no sense and after days of waiting for a reply Amy finally stepped in and realized it wasn’t a owed balance but a credit, then 3 days before the wedding we met with Emily who I specifically mentioned on multiple occasions the type of center pieces and flowers that I wanted which come the day of my wedding and the flowers were not what I had asked for, the day of the wedding she had no idea how to coordinate my wedding, lost my wedding belt which I had found after my ceremony and to make matters worse the cupcakes that I had requested to be served to my guest were brought out an hour before the reception was over, my photographers had multiple issues with her the day of the wedding as well and items that I had purchased for my wedding such a signs were never returned to me. The resort is beautiful but as a bride who got married with a broken ankle I expected more from her especially after all her mess ups. If you are thinking of getting married here just ask to work with another coordinator.

The Royal Lahaina Resort seemed perfect. And we were so right! We confirmed our early 2016 wedding in October of 2014, and the resort wasted no time in getting us set up. Amy put us in touch with Lavaina and Leolani, who helped us set up a special wedding rate for us and our guests staying at the resort. The resort also offers promotions for special occasions, and due to the number of rooms booked by our guests, my husband and I were upgraded to one of their beautiful suites for several days after our wedding, which made our honeymoon all the more magical. Both rooms we stayed in were amazing! They were very neat, clean and had wonderful decor. And the view! Both rooms were overlooking the ocean, and you can't ask for a better view in Maui. After the contract had been finalized, Amy set us up with Kira, my planner for the event. Kira was absolutely amazing with everything. We kept in contact via email, and she made the whole process a breeze. The first email she sent had a list of what was offered through our package, and the various options for the services offered. My husband and I would make our selections, let Kira know, and she would ensure they were done, things like which photographer we preferred, down to a bottle of scotch we would like. I cannot stress enough how valuable Kira was to the planning process, and how perfect she made my wedding. Both the wedding and the during our stay at the resort, the staff were lovely, friendly, and happy to see to our needs. Ford and Victor treated us like valued family members, and even staff members we only met once were as kind as we could've hoped for - and that's BEFORE they learned we were the bride and groom. In our wildest dreams, we couldn't have imagined our wedding being more perfect, more special, more fitting a way to begin the next chapter of our lives. So much of the credit goes to the Royal Lahaina Resort and their excellent, professional and compassionate staff, who supported us and made this a wonderful experience. There aren't enough kind words (and we're trying) to convey our gratitude, and we would recommend this experience to anyone. Mahalo to Kira and the Royal Lahaina Resort! Much Love, The Pearsons

commodations, Lavaina was wonderful and made our experience very special. We stayed at the resort for 8 days. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful, especially our bartender Victor.I highly recommend getting married at this resort. I have to mention the resort is on one of the best beaches in Maui, Kaaniapali Beach. You can snorkel just to the south of it at Black Rock.

d. Everything a bride needs in a coordinator for her big day. Unfortunately for us, it rained and it was SO windy during our ceremony that we had to relocate the reception to an indoor area that still opened out to a dance floor/bar & DJ all covered by a tent which was nice. Though i am entirely grateful for the back up location.. this has kind of put a damper on my wedding memories. Due to weather, I was unable to wear my veil. I barely remember our vows because all i could think about was how awful the weather was! My guests had to wait around at the hotel bar while they set up the 2nd location. Before this, when my flowers arrived to my room.. my bridesmaids bouquets weren't what i thought they would be. Same goes for my centerpieces. I think that if we had been able to have our reception outside, the flowers wouldn't have mattered so much. It just wasn't what i had been imagining/planning for a whole year BUT that really isn't anyone's fault. You can't control the weather.. In all fairness, Amy and the entire staff were a pleasure to work with and i appreciate all their hard work setting up, TWICE! Our guests loved the food and the cake and dessert were spectacular! I would highly recommend this resort for your wedding and even your stay in Maui!

After the ceremony we had a private dinner in a very secluded little patio area right on the water, Hawaiian music playing in the background. The food was amazing, we had our own private waiters and the chef came out to announce and explain each course. Our guests are still raving about the food!! We could not have asked for a more perfect location, wedding and dinner! Amazing!!!

Although it is beautiful the poor service is not worth it!

Finally, the mai tai’s were great & they had 2 pools that were never crowded, could always find a lounge chair, we were able to use their shuffle board & bocce ball pits. Overall, it’s a hotel, & we really didn’t spend a TON of time there, we knew it wasn’t the Ritz Carlton & we are reasonable people. But were pleasantly surprised with our choice!

ed to tell our wedding planner/us about. We called down that morning to the concierge to see if anything could be done to prevent the loud sound check from happening during our outdoor ceremony. The concierge told us he'd take care of it. He didn't. We heard the whole sound check in the background of our vows. :( We were upgraded to a Deluxe room upon check in and told that there would be champagne in the room. No champagne ever arrived. We didn't want to call and ask considering that it was a free upgrade perk, but it was still disappointing that they didn't deliver what they said they would. Overall, a beautiful (and affordable) site that we're very happy we chose, but it could have been a better experience if the staff had been more attentive to our event.
