Royal Lahaina Resort & Bungalows

or Amy Johnson. Amy is a dream to work with and is extremely good at her job, balancing being highly detail oriented with an island style cool composure. I felt heard and taken care of every step of the way and would urge anyone considering working with RLR to go for it, you will not be disappointed! I felt like our money went so far and Amy really helped with great suggestions to really show she valued both style and our budget. I never felt pressured to break my budget at all and her creative energy and experience made my day better than I thought possible!

spoke for itself and I booked right away. Because Amy was going 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!

how calm and collected she was throughout the entire process. She 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 handled the booking of all our vendors, and coordinated with them on the wedding day. We were even able to have Ululani's Shave Ice at our reception! Come the weekend of our wedding, we met with Amy where she ran through all the specific details of our wedding day, made sure the timeline lined up with our photographer's. 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!!

r special day and have the ability to plan a wedding from the PNW. I am normally very detail oriented but appreciated having the opportunity to sit back and enjoy. All of our vendors, lined up by Amy were fantastic at their work (DJ, hair/makeup, musician, officiant, florist, bakery and photographer) and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this venue for your destination wedding!

ning a destination wedding EASY!! She worked directly with the Caterer, Bakery, and Florist so I didn’t have to do a thing. She also booked my DJ and Hair and Makeup Artist. These all were her recommended vendors and they could not have been more on point! Seriously made my wedding like a fairy tale. Amy also had leftover wedding decorations from previous weddings we were able to use, and delivered our cake top and a bottle of champagne to our room. 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.

enue is beautiful and the food was great. It was also reasonably priced for an ocean front venue in Maui. Highly recommend!

staff, restaurants, luau, and, guest services at The Royal Lahaina 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!

ey was our wedding coordinator and made everything seem so simple. She scheduled my hair and makeup and came to my room to pick me up and take me and drop me off. Literally every detail was “already handled” and she handled last minute changes with grace and ease. Our guests commented on how professional she was. Our wedding was exactly what I was hoping for.

iple times, so I didn’t have to be nervous the day of! She was there at my wedding making sure everything was set, coordinating with my bridal party , and made sure my guests knew where to go. Cannot recommend her enough, she did amazing!

the wedding of our dreams and Bailey made sure of it! They make sure the planning experience is stress free. We had 70 guests and the entire night went seamlessly. The packages that the resort offers help make the hard decisions that you would usually need to make easy. Highly recommend the Royal Lahaina Resort and Bailey as the coordinator!;)

ho worked with us from the very start. I am not a very detail oriented 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 !

of or guests commented about how great the food and dessert was! Bailey, our wedding coordinator was excellent. She was very responsive by email and phone, went above and beyond to add the little details that mattered to us (e.g. she made sure she got us special beer that we requested) and even added last minute details when I texted her the day of the wedding. We were planning our wedding from Seattle and having not visited the Royal Lahaina beforehand we were a little nervous. Bailey put us at ease. I never thought planning a wedding would be so easy. I am forever grateful for all her help and will cherish our stress free wedding day forever.

isions with Amy and she would take notes. That simple. Many times I caught myself thinking: “Something is not right. It’s not possible for a wedding to be that stress free”. Well... it turned out I stressed a lot over nothing because they had taken care of everything. My wedding was beautiful, the food was great and everyone had a blast! I’m forever thankful!!

hat being said the wedding and event team was amazing. Baliey was my wedding coordinator. She was calm organized and very accommodating. Everything was handled for me and made the day go by very smoothly. The kitchen staff was great in being able to make a last-minute allergy dessert for my guest. Even with the rain, it was a perfect Maui wedding. My mom did get sick the next day. We were not sure if it was from the wine or the food. Still, the guest loved the appetizers (coconut shrimp) and had a great time. I highly recommend Bailey and her team for your wedding. Thank you, Baliey for making my wedding day perfect. :)

view the different locations on the property. She was very accommodating and didn't mind our changes throughout the process. She is very organized and took out all of the stress with wedding planning. We were able to relax and focus on the fun details. The day went very smoothly and it was more beautiful than I imagined! We were on the Villas Lawn, which was very private. I would highly recommend the venue and Amy.

ul but it was not at all. The organization and knowledge made the process too easy! The venue is beautiful and the staff was great. Our planner Amy was great and made our day perfect! I am so thankful I decided to have my wedding here. I highly recommend Royal Lahaina for your wedding.

band and I had had never been to Maui so we were a little nervous about planning and organizing everything from afar, especially when we did not know the area. Amy eased our minds every step of the way. Her experience really showed throughout every moment of communication. And man, the scenery was PERFECT! It was very private yet spacious enough to comfortably fit all of our guests. We had the most beautiful view of the beach and ocean in all of our photos which was priceless. Amy helped us bring the wedding of our dreams to life and we will forever be grateful for the memories we created at Royal Lahaina.

married so we were handed off to Emily who wasn’t so pleasant. It 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.

ommend everything she says. She was so easy to work with and we felt blessed to have her in our corner. Our minister, Kale Kaalekahi, was fantastic! Spontaneous and relaxed, he directed a great ceremony. Every single detail was immaculately planned out, and I didn't worry about a single thing. 5 stars for sure!

and reception at the hotel. As I lived off the island, my coordinator was great in responding to all of my emails in a timely manner and helping with all of my planning. They suggested decorating ideas that would be easier and cost friendly coming from off he island and were happy to help with everything. The day before the wedding, we met with the coordinator and reviewed everything. The day of the wedding, our coordinator and staff were all INCREDIBLE. They helped take all of the stress off of us and my parents, and created a smooth and a day we will never forget. I would highly recommend the Royal Lahaina to anyone looking. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.

afe to say Royal Lahaina exceeded all my wedding expectations! We got married on 4/15/18 with about 45 guests. Karlie was our Coordinator from the beginning, she helped us with all the fine details and executed every picture and inspiration I had in mind. She responded to all my emails in a timely manner and was always so kind and helpful. Amy was our day of coordinator and I can truly say everything went as planned because of her! We were lucky to have such beautiful weather and with a beautiful venue, our wedding turned out to be absolutely AMAZING! Thank you again!!

ew up surrounded by the snow covered rocky mountains, and although I love them and appreciate their beauty, since I was a child I dreamed of getting married by the ocean surrounded by beautiful flowers and my wonderful friends and family. To say the Royal Lahaina team did this would be an understatement. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our day so incredibly special. I had some things I was particular about, and communicated these with Amy Johnston, our wedding coordinator (can't say enough AMAZING things about Amy), and they all happened even more perfectly than I could have imagined. The flowers, the food, the set up, the organization.... it was honestly all perfection. I am so thankful we got married at the Royal Lahaina Resort, and would recommend it to anyone who wants that perfect balance of pre-organized/pre-wedding structure with the ability to individualize whatever aspects you want, and who wants to be supported by wonderful and talented vendors, and who wants to get married by one of the dreamiest beaches imaginable. Seriously, I would not have changed a single thing. Thank you Royal Lahaina Resort Weddings!

ct day thanks to the team!

ther venues, but this place was the one that stuck out in my mind. The beauty, and location is simply stunning. Location is extremely import, but so is service, and how well you are taken care of. Never did I imagine how much we lucked out in getting such an amazing coordinator to help us put our wedding together. Amy Johnston was our coordinator, and from day one she was our main contact. She is very attentive to emails, and overall just pleasant to work with. Little details like wedding timelines and coordinating vendors I took for granted. If I had to really plan a wedding myself...there would be no wedding. Our wedding day she made us feel like we were well taken care of every step of the way. In addition to the wedding, the staff at Royal Lahaina treated us as if we were family, from the restaurant, to the bartenders, and anyone else we interacted with along the way. We have our guests saying they want to come back to Royal Lahaina. I'm already bugging husband to come back... and it's not even been a week:( Thank you Amy and Royal Lahaina...you made my wedding feel magical.

email and Karlie was wonderful! She made planning a destination 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!

evable the whole thing was! Amy made planning a breeze and took 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.

tion was perfect under palms and the stars! All of the vendors they 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

ing to end - so honest and real. The only downside to the experience was the hotel service. There was confusion with switching rooms and room service.

amazing (even saw some whales during our ceremony) and our wedding 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!

retry much impossible for anyone, their wedding consultants take 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!

40 guests). Amy was our wedding coordinator for the event reception. 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.

ice and accommodating!

ted someone who would help me plan the big day while I was in California. 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

d all the vendors she recommended and coordinated for me. For accommodations, 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.

dding it was like meeting a friend! She was so calm and collected. 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!

orgeous weather. I loved the view of the water from the lawn and 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.

s, housekeepers, etc)! Lots of different services located on the resort (event planners, excursion planners, restaurants, luau's, etc). Will totally stay there again!

ldine was great. She made it very easy for us, anything that we 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!!!

uries. Our wedding planner, Geraldine, was the sweetest, most helpful 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.

ay was absolutely perfect and I would not change one thing! In fact we plan on renewing our vows there every 5 years. We are beyond happy with Jen and her crew!
