Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

h the final set-up, and it set the perfect mood to cap off such an already amazing day. The surprise included a flower petal scatter in the shape of the heart, along with romantic candle lighting throughout the room, a goodie bag, flower bouquets, and a champagne bottle. I would 100% recommend Lauren if you are looking for a romantic surprise while staying at the Marriott Waikoloa.

ked for the next 12 months with Hailey. There are not enough words to express our gratitude for an absolute perfect event. The coordination of the vendors and how Hailey worked with us was amazing always responsive and patient with our questions. Hailey was ill the day we arrived for our vow renewal, so Crystal stepped in and was also amazing coordinating the entire event for the day. We could have not asked for a more perfect 50th Wedding Anniversary Vow Renewal and highly recommend Blush Weddings who are simple the BEST!!!

eptions. It was shortly after that visit when my husband and I decided to make the ultimate decision to have our wedding reception there. After selecting our date, Lauren and I started the planning process. Over several months, emails and calls, Lauren knew the vision we had. She understood exactly what our dream wedding would look like. And it was AMAZING. Everything was perfectly executed. Living in California made no difference on the planning process. It felt like the ladies were just up the street. They're familiar with all the vendors and made suggestions when I had questions. During our last month of planning my husband and I still hadn't made final decisions and even had last minute ideas we shared. They were able to pull through on all fronts. We had everything from our Imu pig presentation to our hula/fire dancers to our live music to our late night pizza and a cigar bar. It was everything we wanted and more! To top it all off, the luau grounds was the perfect space for us and our 120 guests. Being in Hawaii on its own is enough to set the most beautiful and romantic backdrop. Thanks again to the ladies at Blush Weddings! Our wedding really was perfect!! - Coreen & Duncan

rom were all high quality professionals. We loved how wonderful our chosen vendors were to work with on the day of our ceremony. They all made us feel special and personalized so much for us and that made this even more meaningful and special to us. Would absolutely without reservation recommend all to anyone and would gladly return to use them all again in the future. Best vow renewal experience and we renew our vows every five years, so not our first ceremony. Don't hesitate to reach out to them to plan your special day.

anted to get married on a beach and that was exactly what I got. The scene was absolutely beautiful. I would ask Lauren for her recommendations on things, and completely trusted her judgement. The end result was perfect. Thank you to Blush Weddings for making the process of planning a destination wedding so easy for us. I wish it didn't go by so fast! I would highly recommend Blush Weddings and the Marriott Waikoloa to anyone who is planning a wedding on the Big Island!

venue right on the ocean. Crystal and Lauren made our planning so easy and helped us take care of all our vendors and decor needs! Planning a wedding from far away seemed a bit overwhelming but they took care of everything. The luau dinner afterwards was wonderful as well and our guests really enjoyed the show!

at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott and planned our dream wedding at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott!! Not only were they professional and timely in their responses to me, but they were also so incredibly detail-oriented and proactive in making sure we got everything on our wedding wish list. The Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa venue was an absolute dream and Lauren and Crystal are experts in personalizing the space so it was perfect for us! They also went out of their way to make sure to save us costs at every turn which was a huge help!! Lauren and Crystal did an incredible job at keeping us in the loop when communicating with Vendors which was always a relief to just know that these things were taken care of right away. They have such great expertise in what vendors to work with and know the business inside and out. For someone who lives in Washington DC, which is 12 hours away from this venue, it was so good to know that I could always trust that they had everything under control. I could go on for hours about how grateful I am for the fact that they helped make my wedding 1000 times more beautiful than I could have ever imagined!

teful to have her and the entire Waikato Merritt spa & resort staff to share our special day with!

helpful in giving us peace of mind. They were communicative and organized, and had a clear list of preferred vendors that we could draw from. I thought they could have done a better job describing what common things were not included in our wedding package (Eg a mic for someone reading a Bible verse or singing). They also should have allowed more direct communication with vendors because I believe a few things got lost in translation. That said, they helped me plan the wedding of my sister’s dreams and I think it’ll take a while before I can say I’ve been to any wedding as good as the one at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott. Thanks Blush Team!

COVID. We highly recommend Blush Weddings at the Waikoloa Marriott. Our reception was a huge hit and everyone enjoyed themselves!

, sweet, kind, and accommodating. The wedding was so magical and beautiful. We thank you for everything! -Gabrielle and Khalid

essional and responsive to all our questions needs and ideas. I’d highly recommend these ladies to anyone looking for a planner that is there for you for all your needs to make your day magical.

were comfortable and had what they needed. Michaela helped with our breakfast and was so sweet and friendly when also in the pool area. Uncle Stevie, our bartender, was awesome and all of our guests enjoyed chatting with him during our reception. Michael, Director of Events, was also willing to take the time to listen to our concerns and feedback we had about our overall experience. They all deserve a FIVE star review. The reason I am leaving a poor review is due to our experience with Crystal. There is not enough of a character limit to post my entire review, however here is an abbreviated version. Over the two years that we worked with them communication was very challenging. We constantly had to reach out to them for information, specifically around covid, and responses were not in line with the Marriott’s 24 hr response policy. We had multiple issues with our BEO (banquet event order), including an almost $11k charge (that we did not owe), being missed on the “final” BEO by crystal. We then found a lot of errors with our Floral quote also not being updated. We were told to show up by 4:45 for our pre-wedding meeting and Crystal did not arrive until after 5. On the day of the wedding, she showed up after all of our vendors. During our reception, four people crashed the event. One even ate cake off the table. No one could find Crystal to alter her, so I had to ask them to leave myself. I requested to save all of my flowers, and when I went back to get the, my bouquet and 3 others were missing. Crystal told me she saw my friend walk off with them. I checked with all guests and no one took them. I don’t understand why Crystal didn’t stop them if she saw this happen. When we received our bar tab it seemed really high and we mentioned that to crystal (14 drinks a person high),  and rather than helping us understand how the bar tab works, or how drinks are measured, Crystal told me "Anna when I saw you and Jeremy in the lobby yesterday you told me your guest had a good time and several were hungover and one of your bridesmaids didn't make it to breakfast because she had too much the night before."  Her lack of customer service and attitude in this situation was astonishing and very disappointing. The lack of professionalism that was shown to us by Crystal was very unacceptable and not something any other couple or paying customer should ever have to endure. I didn't enjoy the wedding planning process. This first year of planning with them, prior to needing to postpone our wedding was so disheartening that I did not want to postpone our wedding in 2020 and find a new venue and coordinator who placed more value on communication with their clients and professional customer service practices.  We did not cancel as we were told too much had gone into our planning and we would not be eligible for receiving our deposit back. Again, the hotel deserves five starts, but because of our experience with Crystal I cannot give that. I would not recommend this hotel/venue. I don't think anyone should have to willingly go through the same disheartening, disappointing, and frustrating experiences we had, especially as paying customers trying to plan their dream wedding.

ad a great time and it was the very best day ever!

t us prior to the big day to walk through the process & made us feel relaxed & ready for it all! Couldn’t of been more happy! Thank you Lauren & Crystal ;)

on site with us the whole time and made sure everything went as planned. Our family and friends had so much fun that night, and we still talked about it these days. Thank you Lauren and Crystal for giving us the dream wedding we wanted!

tting for our sunset wedding and made for fantastic wedding pictures. The hotel also catered our reception, the food was delicious and the service was wonderful and very friendly. I would definitely recommend them!

ng view of the ocean. Our reception was at the hotels restaurant and the service was great. The servers attended to our every need. I would definatly recommend staying here and having a wedding at this location for anyone having a wedding or reception.

olutely loved the resort and it made us wish we hadn't spent the first four days on Maui! The staff was very friendly and accomodating. While we were there, we were evacuated due to a tsunami warning as we were on the second level. They were able to get us a room on a higher floor for the night to get some sleep and then we moved back to our original room the following morning. The views were amazing. There were 3 pools and 3 hot tubs, all were gorgeous. The only downside was the ocean was very rocky, so it was better to drive to a different beach to get in the ocean. We have already discussed how we didn't get to spend enough time on the Big Island and how we'd definitely be back. When we make it back, we will definitely stay at the Marriott again!

pleased with the accomodations. The reception area on the terrce worked out well.

l wedding site, which was an incredible place to have a sunset wedding. The spot is on a grassy knoll over-looking an old fishing lagoon and the beach is just steps away. We couldn't have dreamed of anything better than this spot, and our pictures are unbelievable!
