Tiki's Grill & Bar

I must have sent her dozens of emails). If you are planning a 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!

the following Saturday. It was amazing and we loved the facilities and everyone who helped!

r entire stay there! The food was delicious & plentiful, and the 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!

s excellent! The communication between Jenni and Jennifer and myself 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!

arsal dinner as it was pouring heavy rain in the morning. They suggested 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!

ng about the venue even being from out of the state.

re great in helping us plan and coordinate. The food was awesome and so was the service. My guests are still talking about it!

ner 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!

uick to reply to my emails. They were great at guiding me through 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!

urs had tree nut allergies and we were able to make adjustments 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!

utiful island of Oahu! We’re from California. Crazy but it was perfect 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!

things so stress free! Our wedding day was perfect and they were part of the reason why.

side in July in the beginning, but it’s half inside half outside 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 :)

t was provided; not to mention the gorgeous views. Communicating 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!!

were blessed to find Tiki’s Coconut Club! Jenni and Jennifer were 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.

lism of the team. The food was amazing and plenty of it and the 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.. :)

aikiki and were so happy to have found Tiki's! Jenni and Jennifer 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!

was impeccable. No one left hungry, which is always a concern if 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.

amily still talks about to this day. We are local residents of Oahu 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!

process. I was planning my event from North Carolina, so I had 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.

decor. Tiki's is the best to host events!!

on the 21st floor of the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel. All of our guests loved the unobstructed and stunning ocean views, and the food and service were awesome too! Jenni and Jennifer made planning our wedding reception a breeze, because they were easy to contact and very helpful. They answered all of our questions promptly, and were able to help us to accommodate guests with severe food allergies. Financially, it was well worth the price! We were able to stay within our wedding budget for the wedding of our dreams.

and it was the best tasting wedding food that any of our guests had ever had. They also recommended multiple different cake vendors and florists that they had worked with. Take it from a local, best place to party.

was! I could not be any happier with my decision of having our reception here, and will absolutely be back when visiting the island! Thank you Tikis for making my special day unforgettable!

e enough to upgrade to the coconut club venue a few months prior to our big day and the team made it so easy to upgrade and make sure we covered every detail. The day of was seamless, from the entry to the schedule of food, drinks, music, dancing. The team made sure that I, not my family, had to worry about anything. Everything was taken care of by this amazing team and it was definitely a night to remember. We got married on a Friday so the views from the coconut club were just STUNNING especially when we were treated to some fireworks from a nearby hotel. Overall, wonderful experience.

venue. From start to finish the tikis team made it easy to organise our wedding from Sydney, responding quickly with information and recommendations, and sharing in our excitement! The venue was bigger than I expected, but still felt cosy with our 22 guests, but could hold a lot more. 100% recommend tikis, you won't be disappointed!

i and Jennifer always responded back to our emails in a timely manner and always answered all of our questions especially since we lived all the way in Chicago and there’s such a big time difference between the two cities. Our guests who came out were lao very impressed with the food and the view of the place! Thank you tikis for making our experience memorable!

and everything turned out even more perfect than we could of imagined. Jenni & Jennifer were awesome to work with, especially since we were doing a destination wedding & weren’t able to meet in person to go over everything. They answered every question we had and sent us everything we needed to make sure we had the most amazing wedding. The food, the music and staff were amazing and we had everyone telling us how the wedding was absolutely beautiful. This was in the best location looking over the ocean at sunset. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to get married in Waikiki!

they had ever eaten" The staff lead by Chrystal made all of our guest happy and made sure that Nick and I had everything we need. Our wedding day was magical and the Tiki Bar was the icing on the cake.

ennifer and Jenni even the ramblings of a slightly crazed bride who was worrying about the small things. The minute we were shown where our wedding reception was going to be we knew we had made the perfect choice. Coconut Club on the 23rd floor overlooking Waikiki was absolutely magical it was like a photograph. The staff who attended to us on our day were so friendly, warm and professional and will be remembered due to the great time we had. Thank you to Eddie (for his awesome bar skills and ukelele playing) and Nicky (who worked tirelessly to make sure everyone was fed and happy). You all are wonderful people. Much aroha from NZ.

ntastic and easy to communicate with! We didn't see the venue in-person until we were in Hawaii and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! The views from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking. All of our guests (approx.30) couldn't say enough good things about the food and the whole evening experience. Tiki's staff were amazing and kind. If we could go back in time and relive it, we wouldn't change a thing!

e downside was the setup and the way they blocked off my reception area. There were a lot of random customers walking all through and in between our tables. I believe there were a few random people trying to eat our buffet food. We had to keep telling people this was a wedding reception and to please walk around. That got a little annoying. For the most part my family and guest enjoyed themselves!

. I was planning my Hawaiian wedding from the mainland without a wedding planner. Jenni and Jennifer were so incredibly helpful and accommodating. Very LGBTQ friendly, too :) Our wedding party was 50 people total and the space was just the perfect size. The views were breathtaking and the area felt so private. Jenni and Jennifer did everything to accommodate our requests and preferences in regards to decorations, table set up, dance floor, etc. We used their DJ and he was so much fun! My partner is Australian and I am American so we wanted a fun, blend of music. Our only request to him was to play some top hits and dance songs from both countries. He delivered just that without asking us any further questions! He did his research and I must say, our Australian friends and family were having a blast! Lastly, our first dance song was a cover performed by an Australian band. I wasn't sure he would be able to find it, but he did without a problem. The food was spectacular and such a reasonable price. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was and how they continued to go back for more. We had purchased the cheapest buffet option for each of our guests, too. At the end of the night, we were provided with to-go boxes and our guests devoured the last of the food. I called Jenni and Jennifer three days before the wedding because I had just found out that we had a guest who is severely allergic to gluten. They accommodated our last minute change with ease and absolutely no stress. The buffet even was labeled with what foods were gluten free and which were not. We held an open bar and the bartender was such a blast. If you have ever met an Australian, you know they can drink! The bartender was wiping up drinks and putting on a performance as well. We loved him and he definitely kept the party alive! When our reception was over, our wedding party went downstairs to the actual restaurant and continued to celebrate! Even the staff downstairs at the restaurant were so nice and accommodating. I honestly cannot express how happy we were with the Coconut Club and Jenni and Jennifer! I will be going back to the Coconut Club for my next event, whatever and whenever it might be! You will not be disappointed! Mahalo

were helpful and accomodating and the venue was beautiful. We had such a memorable night and we cant wait to visit again the next time we travel back to Hawaii. I couldn't be more thrilled with our reception at Tiki's!

planning it so easy and fun. I should also mention that I live in California and at first, I thought planning a state away would be difficult. But Jenni and Jennifer did so well with helping me plan. I would work with them again in a heartbeat. I absolutely love them! The reception at the Coconut Club was a dream! We had the most amazing view and sunset, the decor was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff (Nikki & Eddie) were rockstars! If we could do our wedding reception again, we would! It was stress-free! The staff did an amazing job at taking care of everything! All I had to do was enjoy it all! And really, nothing beats the view! I'd have future events with them again! I could go on and on about them! Nothing but positive things to say! I can't wait to return to Waikiki just to stay at the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel and go back to Tiki's Grill! I'm so happy with how everything went!

ond amazing. Jenni and Jennifer were fantastic, the food was outstanding and the service from the staff on the night was phenomenal. We went back for drink to see them to thank them and then on our last night we went for dinner! Food and service was still up there! Thank you for the memories x

at a restaurant before in fear of having a reaction. We shared our concerns with Jenni and Jennifer and for the very first time our nephews were able to eat at a restaurant!!! They were so amazingly accommodating to their allergy needs that they deserve 5-stars for that alone. But the food, the staff and the lanai space were so phenomenally above and beyond what we expected. The space was beautifully decorated for our reception, the staff was so helpful and kind, and the food was to die for. They also give any left over food that we do not eat to the homeless - which is just such an amazing policy! We couldn't believe how stress-free and amazing Jenni and Jennifer made us feel throughout the whole process - from decisions to execution. They were amazing and I would recommend this spot to every single bride and groom getting married on the island!

nifer was the best service we have ever encountered. They did so much from there end to give us the perfect reception. The view, food, DJ, vendors and Tiki's itself were fantastic! We couldn't thank the girls enough for all that they did for us. Jenni, Jennifer and Tiki's will always be remembered and highly recommend.

organising a function from so far away. We did not need to worry as Jenni and Jennifer took care of everything. The venue was sensational, as was the food, service and the sunset. Our guests were blown away, as were we. We would thoroughly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Larry and Shona

i & Jennifer were helpful, reliable, and super supportive with every detail from day one. They truly made the planning process enjoyable. The entire wait staff was AMAZING. Service was excellent, food was delicious and everyone helped our day run so smoothly. The Coconut Club is a perfect venue - it is intimate, with reasonable rates, and you work with the best professionals. We couldn’t be happier with the turn out. Thank you to Jennifer & Jenni, and to the entire crew at Tiki’s for making our day an unforgettable one!

wedding there was challenging, but we really enjoyed our special day and couldn't have asked for a better reception.

h throug emails, were very prompt and efficient in communcating with our needs. Also, Nikki the lead banquet captain, whom assisted in my last minute details of the reception, went above and beyond with service in exceeding our expectations at the reception. She added her personal touches to the centerpieces and created non alcoholic tropical cocktails for the groom who doesn’t drink. These small details meant us a lot to us in feeling extra special. The food was amazing!!! I specifically chose this venue to have the amazing menu that the chefs at Tiki’s created. Our guests still talk about the food to this day! Everything was delicious from the prime rib to the mushroom risotto which I’m craving right now! I’m so happy I was able to taste everything on my wedding day lol! Last but not least our venue at the Coconut Club was the vision of why I had a destination wedding in Hawaii. The view alone makes up for it!! I would highly recommend Tiki’s for a wedding or any event for that matter.
