Royal Lahaina Resort

wedding so easy! The day exceeded every expectation we had. The hotel is gorgeous, with the most beautiful ocean backdrop for a wedding ceremony. We even had whales that came out to play during the rehearsal! All of the vendors Karlie recommended were amazing! Karine made sure my hair and makeup looked perfect. Our officiant, Kale Kaalekahi made the ceremony so special with his beautiful words. Kaniala Masoe and Jimmy were the best music duo, our guests raved about how great the music was! And Sean Hower, the photographer, was fantastic. We can’t thank Karlie and the staff at The Royal Lahaina enough! We had the perfect wedding and all we had to do was show up! My husband and I loved The Royal Lahaina and recommend it to anyone planning a wedding in Maui! Amazing!

care of every last detail leaving me a stress free bride. All the vendors were beyond great. I was nervous as I had never met a single one of them until the day of my wedding, but I was blown away with every aspect of the day! The food was exceptional (which most wedding food isn't if you ask me), the wedding cake was unique and delicious, the DJ kept the whole reception dancing the entire night, the celebrant was perfection and the photographer... WOW! The location is picture perfect and the resort itself is such a nice place to vacation. If there was any downfall at all it would be that a few of my guests had some difficulty with their room reservations. In then end, that all got sorted out relatively easily. All in all, if you are looking for a destination wedding in Maui, The Royal Lahaina will not disappoint.

hey suggested were great! Amy, our planner, was very attentive, professional, and on top of everything! We sent her photos of what we wanted at the reception, and she made everything look exactly as we wanted. We didn't have to worry about anything. The food was fantastic! Everyone who attended said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. We didn't want the night to end! It was so perfect!!!! Thank you, Amy, Royal Lahaina, and all of the friendly and helpful staff (Kara, Lyle, and Chris)!!! - Kristen and Pete

ence was the hotel service. There was confusion with switching rooms and room service.

ng coordinator, Kira, had everything handled. I didn't need to worry about anything! I'm so glad we decided to have our destination wedding here!

care of everything over email and phone. They make it easy for you. You just tell them what you want and they take care of it. My consultant was Kira and she was heaven sent. I would highly recommend them for your day!

tion. She was very diligent, responsive, and professional in all of our communications. I was simply blown away by the amount of effort she placed on ensuring the event was a success. She greeted us as soon as we arrived to the event and thanked us as we exited. Thank you for making our day so special. Ourselves and guests will cherish this day for years to come.

lifornia. I searched through several websites, until I came across the Royal Lahaina Resort. I submitted a request for information through the website, and received a response the next day! Amy Johnson provided me details on the wedding packages offered, wedding rates for the rooms, and information on the Luau. I searched many reviews of the resort, focusing on ones pertaining to weddings, while waiting to hear back from other venues (which came much, much later). Most people who left reviews were happy with the resort, and it had everything we were looking for, ceremony and reception location, dinner options, onsite help, and guests accommodations. 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!

I appreciated the fast access to the beach and sand for pictures following the ceremony. Not only is the wedidng space beautiful but so is the hotel. We lodged here for our honeymoon as well. Everything was exceptional.

resort (event planners, excursion planners, restaurants, luau's, etc). Will totally stay there again!

asked for she would do. She really took all the stress off of us. She set up an appointment for us to get our marriage license, provided music, cake and flowers (which were all perfect!) 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!!!

lpful person to work with. She really wanted to make sure the day was perfect down to the last detail. She made sure that I didn't have to stress about anything.

act we plan on renewing our vows there every 5 years. We are beyond happy with Jen and her crew!

ed to change everything we wanted at the last minute. The communication is terrible. We spoke with the bar manager multiple times to make sure that NO hard alcohol was served. I get to my reception and they are serving hard alcohol! This is one of the many examples. I WOULD never have a ceremony or reception at this location. Although it is beautiful the poor service is not worth it!

ons. One tip, if you are there on a package with a daily bar credit, make sure you really pay attention to it. We got a bigger than expected bill at checkout because after a few Mai-Tais, you stop keeping track of your tab. Oops! Oh well, totally worth it. :)

nd the cake, and the flowers! Simply amazing!!!! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a BEAUTIFUL location to get married, without a lot of hard work and hassel.

ch to the east of the Sheraton & Black rock. 3- Newly renovated, so the room was newer, with a comfy bed, nice lanai, & Hawaiian modern décor. 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.
