Tiki's Grill & Bar

Hawaiian style crispy garlic chicken, watermelon salad bites, to the caprese crostinis; excellent service from beginning to end -- Jenni & Jennifer (sales & events coordinators, both efficient and easy to work with), Katie with her great ideas & suggestions, to our waiter Lincoln who was exceptional, and Albert for his help in looking after the party. A pleasure working with all of them, would highly recommend Tiki's anytime.

unny and the ladies always got back to my email the same day (so efficient)! Living in Canada, it was tough not knowing what the Tiki’s Grill & Bar looked liked in real time, but Jenni and Jennifer sent me so many pictures to ensure me that we picked the right place! Second is the food; oh my my guests could not stop raving about how incredible the food was. From pineapple rice to the delicious chicken, it was all perfection! And I really appreciated at the end of the night the staff asking us what we would like to do with the leftover food; I loved that we had the option to give the left over to people who really needed it! Lastly, the venue; oh my oh my! The view is spectacular! I finally learnt what breathtaking meant; watching the sunset in paradise is more then we could have ever hoped for. The Knot led me in the best direction with Tiki’s Grill & Bar; we will be forever grateful for the amazing service we received not only on our big day, but throughout the whole experience!!

destination wedding and need a location that is scenic, convenient, and affordable, Tiki's is your best bet! We had a semi-private balcony area (Ocean Room & Lanai) for our guests. Everyone loved the views and the food. They have package add-ons, including decor and cake, which made this so easy for us as everything was pretty much ready when we arrived, except for a few personal touches that we wanted. On the night of, our captain Lincoln and his team were such a pleasure to work with! The service was wonderful and they were quick to help with whatever we needed, and even wrote a sweet note in our guestbook. Thanks to the Tiki's team for a great experience-- I would highly recommend booking your event here!

es and everyone who helped!

staff were attentive and friendly. Organising the event from Australia, Jenni & Jennifer made it a breeze - great communication and more than happy to help with special requests. If we could give more stars we would!

yself was prompt and accurate and they were exceptional at answering all of my questions and working out details. Several of our guests commented on the quality and taste of the food and we were 100% happy and satisfied with our experience! These ladies have party planning and organization down to a "t" and we are so grateful for such a positive experience!

uggested indoor lava room. I really appreciated them calling us first and organize an indoor venue so that I didn't have to stress about guests being stuck in the rain. We went with the $30 per person for Pupus. It was enough food for ~60 people and we even had enough to take some home for the guests! The guests loved the Pulled pork quesadilla, coconut shrimp, and calamari. Service was perfect and they were so accommodating. The only cons I noticed were: food was salty, and no A/C indoors. It turned out great and I would recommend Tiki's for anyone considering a location for rehearsal dinner!

and so was the service. My guests are still talking about it!

pupu’s (appetizers) and drinks. The next day they also hosted our wedding reception on the top floor of the Aston hotel - the coconut club. Total count of 35 people. Leading up to the events, never having met the planners or visited the location (planning from Ohio), the event coordinators Jenni and Jennifer were fantastic with communication! I would get responses same day or next day, and they always addressed every tiny question/request sent in my previous email. And I had many, many tiny questions and requests! Also, despite having a busy mind with many questions, I preferred to be a hands off bride- give me a couple options and I pick from there is my way of planning! And they were the perfect people for this! I could be as involved or not as I wanted to be and I was at ease from the beginning knowing they would make my day memorable and beautiful, I was not disappointed! Their day-of staff for my events (Amy and Juan for the welcome dinner, and Juan and Lincoln for the reception (I think)) were fantastic as well. Great communicators. They even were able to accommodate one of my guests -day of- with really restrictive food allergies/restrictions, with a meal special for her. She was impressed, and so was I with their service and thoughtfulness! Planning a wedding and associated events from afar can be nerve wrecking- hoping it will turn out. But these guys set me at ease when planning and fully (or more than fully?) delivered on everything! Also, food was amazing. My guests were very impressed by everything! The taro rolls (something I wasn’t sure what they were or would be like) were the unexpected favorite thing by everyone! But everything was amazing. When it comes to wedding prices, this was very budget friendly as well. DJ was great as well. I worried it would be overkill to have a DJ for such a small group but (with the help of the DJ questionnaire you fill out ahead of time), all music was totally suited to us and played at appropriate times of our reception. He kept everything moving, good communication as to when we would like to do different things, without being intrusive or overbearing. If you have an event to plan, such as but I’m sure not limited to wedding related events, I highly recommend Tiki’s team of Jenni and Jennifer to help plan and execute your event! You have enough to stress about, let them take this one stressor off your plate! In summary, great communication, great end product, superb day of staff, overly accommodating to all requests big and small, reasonably priced, an unforgettable event!

h the whole wedding reception planning and went through details I didn’t even know we had to think of. Nothing was too much a bother for them. It was such a pleasure to work with them and I am so thankful and happy we found them and chose them for our wedding reception. They feel like friends of ours now! We can never thank them enough for helping us put on our wedding reception that we enjoyed every second of and went seamlessly! On the evening we couldn’t have asked for more! The room was exactly as we had planned and had an absolutely beautiful view over the ocean, palm trees, Friday night fireworks, sunset, not to mention the awesome Tikis statues in the room- it had it all! The atmosphere was great from the moment we entered! The drinks service was exceptional, no one waited long for drinks at all. The food was an absolute highlight, people actively said how good it was and returned to the restaurant for another taste before their holiday ended. They packaged up the left over buffet and cake for guest to take home! There was so much food! The cake Jenni and Jennifer organised was beautiful and so delicious! Thank you to all the staff who worked that evening, our guests loved the friendly team. At the end of our original hire period, they allowed us to extend our room hire to keep the party going later into the night. The staff all seemed to know exactly what was going on that evening and the next day when we came to collect somethings we forgot and they had packed up for us. The local band plays for the whole restaurant and we could hear it and could dance in our reserved area. They did a song just for us. Ellsworth was a band member and also the fellow who married us earlier in the day- that was a real treat to see him again! It was like it was meant to be! The fee's are really good for Tiki's! We got more than what we paid for in my eyes. Jenni, Jennifer and the team were very flexible with adding and removing any food/drink/room hire during the planning phase and on the night! We were made to feel like our reception was a privilege for Jenni and Jennifer to plan and the staff to work at, I can not recommended them enough. Please do yourself a favour and hire the Ocean Lanai Room and have a fantastic wedding reception! We wouldn't change a single thing. We can't thank Tiki's Grill and Bar enough for all they did for us before, during and after our special day! And the biggest THANK YOU of all goes to the delightful Jenni and Jennifer, what a pleasure it was to work with you!

to the buffet menu to accommodate them. We also had two guests who were vegetarian and they were able to provide a la carte entrees for them! We were able to do hosted drinks— each guest received 2 drink tickets on us (the bride & groom) and anything after that, they had to pay. We were also not charged for any drink tickets that were returned! We originally booked the lanai, but it was raining the entire week before and Tiki’s didn’t want to take a chance on us getting rained out, so they actually called us and let us know that they were going to move us inside and asked if that was okay. I wasn’t about to take the chance either and I’m glad we made that decision. Their food was amazing and everyone enjoyed it! The only leftovers we had were a few taro rolls, salad, and all the rice! Everything else was gone! The drinks were also very delicious! You could tell everyone enjoyed them! LOL. Jenni & Jennifer are awesome! Thank you both!

erfect and Tiki’s was a major part of making it a perfect day. My only gripe is that we had to end our reception at 10pm due to The Coconut Club being located right next to other guest rooms on the 21st floor of the Aston. BUT PICTURES DO NO TYPE OF JUSTICE WHATSOEVER. When my husband and I did our tour of it a few days prior to our wedding our jaws literally dropped. We instantly felt goosebumps and were ecstatic that we changed our minds last minute to upgrade our reception location from Hina’s Lanai (semi-private) to The Coconut Club! It was worth every penny. The Coconut club offers a gorgeous view that is unforgettable. Its seriously breathtaking. I wish I had more time to just admire it. Jenni and Jennifer are both so sweet, helpful, and accessible! I’m glad we were able to meet both of them although it was brief. Because they were so hands-on through the whole process I felt like I already knew both of them despite only corresponding through email. All of the staff at Tikis were great. Sadly, I did not get to enjoy the food as much as I could. Past brides know what I mean when hunger seems to disappear on your wedding day. Anyway our guests loved the food maybe as much as they loved the view. My husband and I are both big foodies and Tiki’s menu covered all the bases from appetizers to desserts. We had 50 guests and we were all able to fit perfectly on the balcony with a good sized dance floor. There are so many ways to customize your big day and Jenni and Jennifer are there every step of the way to assist! Highly recommend this venue to make your wedding day or any other important event the most memorable! Hoping we can book another event there in the future!

e part of the reason why.

with ac so it was alright. Our vendor coordinators were on point too, responding so quickly every time to our needs was greatly appreciated. We were very happy with this location :)

g with the staff ahead of time to get exactly what we wanted for our special event was very easy to do and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommended for everyone!!

e truly wonderful to work with. They were responsive to emails and easy to communicate with answering our queries. The Coconut Club is a private venue on the 21st floor with an expansive lanai to eat dinner while overlooking Waikiki; the perfect setting for our wedding rehearsal and dinner! The indoor space provided ample room for our coordinator to lead us through the wedding rehearsal, as well as host the bar and buffet. The lanai was setup with 4 tables of 10 seats, allowing for our 40 guests to enjoy an incredible sunset while officially kicking off wedding celebrations. The tables were set with lovely linens and our chosen centerpieces of large glass votives with candles and seashells. Tiki’s supported our request to have six leis for us (bride and groom), and our parents, which were beautiful and added the Hawaiian spirit to the festivities. We elected to personalize the bar options offering Tiki’s cocktails and beer, and bring our own wine for dinner. We found the corkage fee for the wine reasonable. Tiki’s accommodated the dietary needs for 4 of our 40 guests with customized vegan meals. The Oahu Deluxe buffet was delicious. We chose to replace the guava pork ribs with the prime rib poke spoons for an additional cost, and we are glad we did. The poke spoons were nearly everyone’s favorite part of the meal! The service provided at Tiki’s for the evening was wonderful! The bartender and coordinator were fantastic, ensured everyone was comfortable and well catered for. We would highly recommend the Coconut Club for anyone hosting a special event.

bar staff were very friendly and accommodated to our needs all night. Having to have organised it from across the glob and not personally seen or tasted their food I could not fault this place and I highly recommend it to anyone needing a perfect wedding location for their reception. It finished the night to perfection.. Thank you Tiki Bar & Grill.. :)

er were SO responsive, organized, and just overall great to work with! We loved that we were able to choose from different spaces and could have either a buffet dinner or heavy appetizers. We ended up booking the Ocean Room Lanai, had cocktail tables set up and heavy appetizers for our guests -- the food was SO good, the space was great, and the service was excellent! Would highly recommend!

you're hosting an event. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the view from the lanai was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Tiki's for a wedding rehearsal dinner.

ahu and in my opinion this venue has the greatest views and atmosphere of all of Waikiki! The food is affordable but amazingly delicious! I recommend the poi buns and banana butter, addicting! Jenni and Jennifer were easy and fun to work with and made our day very special! We toasted with Tiki mugs and great cocktails, then danced the night away with an amazing sunset.......Jaw Dropping Venue from start to finish!

a lot of questions. Jenni walked me through every detail of the hall before my arrival. They also helped to coordinate the DJ and bakery. My fiancé and I went to Tiki's for a walkthrough the week of the reception, and it was breathtaking. The views are beautiful, and even better at sunset. The space accommodated our 70 guests without issue, and the food was delicious. The setting was romantic, and fun. We had an excellent time, and our guests are still raving about how perfect it was.
