*sorry for the long (positive!) review!*
August 2019, tiki’s helped to make my wedding celebration perfect, easy, and memorable for all involved!
We decided to have a welcome dinner next to their restaurant (between the pool and the bar) with... 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!
