BEST VENUE FOR YOUR WEDDING!! We had our wedding at KGC on Sunday, 10/19/25, and it was the best…read moredecision we made.
Pros:
- Beautiful landscaping - the venue overlooks the lush green golf course and had a beautiful sunset
- Provides both ceremony and reception space in the same building - our ceremony took place in the Breezeway with floor to ceiling windows and cathedral-like ceilings, and we utilized both the Tee Room and Main Dining Room. Other ceremony options were the 8th tee and the gazebo, which were outdoors and wouldn't accommodate our big Filipino and Portuguese families LOL! The other reception space was the lanai, which we used for our pupu/cocktail hour and was open for the guests to roam around and enjoy the outdoor scenery
- Because of having both the ceremony and reception spaces in the same spot, less traveling and time wasted in between
- The main dining room has 4 TVs that can be utilized during the event. We used 2 of them to play our slideshow throughout the wedding. I would program the slideshow ahead of time to make it play continuously and export them onto a thumb drive that they'll connect to the TVs (one thumb drive per TV)
- The venue itself is big and open
- Venue is in Kapolei, but quiet and was away from the busy highway
- Free parking
- Breezeway accommodated our 120 guests
- Reception spaces accommodated our 230 guests
- Food was super good!!
- Service was friendly and professional
- Bar service did NOT skimp on alcohol hehe
- Their main venue coordinator, Tracy, was knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to
- They also work with you to make the floorplan (table arrangements, vendor spaces such as the photobooth, DJ space, etc., sweetheart table, etc etc).
- 3-entrée buffet which included rice, mac salad, and dessert was around $68 per person (could be a con, depending on your own financial situation). We had the garlic parm chicken, salmon beurre blanc, and braised beef (we originally had the 2 first entrée choices with the prime rib - BEST decision was changing it to the braised beef last minute because it was SOOOOOOOOO ONO! And cheaper)
- Men's locker room is huge, clean and newer - used for the groom and groomsmen to get ready
- Once you choose KGC, they provide a list of vendors (décor, entertainment, equipment, etc.) and they are familiar with the venue and layout
Cons:
- Women's "bridal suite" is the women's locker room - small, clean and had lockers for the bridal party, but got the job done before the ceremony. We got ready at a nearby hotel b/c it would've been too small for myself and my 6 bridesmaids to get ready
- Provides 1.5 hours before the start of the event for the vendors and "helpers" to set up (I had a good amount of our own decor and equipment and didn't want to get in the way of the KGC and vendor staff)
- Many events are held at KGC (night market, weddings, birthdays, retirement parties, etc), which means the venue coordinators are constantly busy and may take some time to get back to you
Overall, KGC took great care of us during our wedding, and we booked them about a year before our wedding. We couldn't do the nitty gritty planning until maybe 3-4 months before the date, which included menu tasting, head counts, and final details but that allowed us to work on other wedding things. The KGC staff worked with us from day 1 and we had an AMAZING wedding with so many memories and fun times with friends and family. Speaking of which, they also gave us positive feedback about the overall venue and wedding. Thank you KGC team and I'm excited to book future events!
