I attended one of my good friend of 30+ years' wedding and they picked an amazing place. Gorgeous mountain and ocean views. The whole place was only for the wedding with clean, outdoor restrooms, pond, reception area, ceremony, outdoor dining area, bar, special sitting areas, open fields, horse stables and field, garden area, and etc. Everything was clean, neat, and very well maintained. The food was awesome! Had Kale Salad, Braised short ribs, fish, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, etc. Everything was tasty, delicious, warm, and well prepared. The staff were amazing. Even with such a big party, they were very attentive and friendly. Overall, a very, very nice, private place to consider to hold your special events. Clean, well kept areas. Great staff. Solid food. Kid friendly. Handicap accessible. Small kine far, but worth the trip for sure.

There are a couple or outlets if you want to bring a radio or rice cooker ;) And you can't have rice without having some kind of meat. There's two stationary grills on property. The trash is taken out by management when you turn the keys back in and pick up your deposit. I believe the deposit is $250. There are bathrooms in the back. No porta potties thank God. No real flying creatures to stanch your food and plenty of fresh air. You will get the occasional roar of a plane engine since the runway is close by and sometimes you see a naval ship just off the coast heading out or doing maneuvers. Overall five stars. The scenery is beautiful and he can't beat the price. M

Foster Point Peninsula on Hickam AFB is the absolute worst place for a picnic lunch! Please don't…read morego there. It is so ugly! It is surrounded on three sides by pristine azure waters... YUCK! You can see the skyline of Honolulu and the silhouette of Diamond Head... so horrific! Nearby sail boats gently rock to small waves on the aforementioned pristine azure waters... you do not want to see this! There is no comfortable place to sit and eat. There are only maybe a dozen clean tables from which to choose: some in the shade, some in the sun, and some are under a pavilion to use in the unlikely event it rains during your picnic... Don't take the chance! Today during lunch (well, for the first few minutes) I had to share the peninsula with one other picnicker. Sure he was like 40 yards away, but you shouldn't have to put up with this! And the wind! Today it was so blustery that it threatened to blow my napkin off the table... not once, but TWICE! Oh and it is so noisy... did I mention the sail boats and the waves? Well, they're not silent, ya know! They make this monotonous "lap-lap-lap" sound that might drive you crazy! And you'd be dining only a couple miles from the airport. So as you watch the lumbering jets lift off gracefully into the sky, you can actually hear them. .. It's horrendous! It so far out of the way! It takes minutes and minutes (maybe as many as five) to drive out there from the base proper.... Don't waste your valuable time! So in short, take my advice: Do not put up with ugliness, then uncomfortable conditions, the noisiness, and the long long ride out to Foster Point Peninsula for a picnic lunch! It's just not worth it. But if you do, you'll likely see me there enjoying my picnic lunch; and if you do, feel free to wave. But try to keep your 40 yards separation! ;-)

The food was insane, the drinks were tasty, and the atmosphere was incredible. It smelled so amazing and we had great weather. There's not a bad spot on the property to take photographs. I can't wait to see my photos I took behind the pond in the greenery. I'm very glad I picked this venue for my wedding. The staff did us a solid and boxed up some food for my husband and I and we ate it right after we left. That was really cool of them.

I booked the DJ thru the venue it was Bliss DJs, the DJ was Kembo and he was so friggging amazing. I did my cakes thru Sam's Club and my mom just put flowers on them. I recommend doing this if you're on a budget, the wedding cake and sheet cake were like $45 each. My mom did the wedding arch and ceremony chair flowers. We ordered pupus, buffet lunch and added the roast pig. The food was good, the pig was delicious. The best entreee on our menu was the sweet sour chicken.

To finish off 2025 with my last review before 2026 comes…read more This was the best decision both my husband and I made to choose this place as our wedding venue, which we were able to take a tour in January. Seeing how private with both views of mountains and ocean. We were totally convinced that Loulu Palms Estate was perfect to host the biggest day of our lives. The guests enjoyed the property and program we had planned. I'm grateful to Nickie and her staff to making this day special. Initally we were going to have the reception dinner on the lanai with awning decorated with lights to represent rustic night theme. But once Nickie and her team were aware of the rain storm that coming on the wedding weekend, she offered us to rent their covered tent 44x63 clear top tent with twinkle lighting with no additional cost as we paid to rent the lanai space. We agreed to the option as we weren't sure if weather will put a damper to our big day. But surprisely, it was sunny when I got to venue to get makeup/hair done, throughout the ceremony to the reception dinner till the end, very little sprinkle of rain occurred. I'm glad the tent set up worked out for us. The set up with the floral arrangement, which was modern boho theme I picked while working with Modern Elopement was gorgeous on pillars overlooking to beach, ocean. We even repurpose those arrangements on reception table with ti leaf as table runners with candles lights lit up. It was simple table set up, which did justice flowing with modern boho florals. The lawn space was huge to host larger weddings, but for our wedding group it was perfect size. It was little wet in some areas and ground little unstable but I managed to carry myself in my wedding dress. The bridal suite to get ready and dress was asthestic pleasing to the eye as seen in local wedding videography. I swear the AC blasting cool air made the room very cold that some part of me tried to avoid where it was blowing at. It was nice they had coat racks to hang both me and my matron of honor dresses. There was restroom in house for us to use away from outdoor restrooms wiht bidet and toiletries to use. Overall, my experience here at Loulu Palms was nothing but highly satisfying and very thankful we were able to have our micro wedding here given the date we requested. With the people I talked to about this venue, lot of people consider having a wedding here. Another thing is that venue is not one of those over-hype and overused wedding venues in Oahu. It is a private venue offering both ocean, mountain views, they have a vendor list, assist with planning wedding, and offers free parking too compared to those Waikiki hotels and downtown Cafe Julia. Thank you Loulu Palm Estate again and will recommend to those couples looking for venues!!!

5/5 -- Loulu Palm Estate…read more We recently had our wedding at Loulu Palm Estate. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we knew this was the place where we wanted to say "I do." The estate is even more stunning in person -- lush greenery, a private stretch of beach, and that perfect blend of tropical beauty and intimate charm. It truly feels like your own beautiful, private oasis. One of the biggest reasons our day felt incredible is the team behind the scenes. Nickie and the entire Loulu Palm staff worked seamlessly with our amazing planner, Emmarose from TGA, and together they created a day that flowed perfectly from start to finish. Their coordination, communication, and attention to detail were exceptional. We also want to highlight how welcoming and LGBT‑friendly the venue and team were. We felt supported, celebrated, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the venue -- the breathtaking ceremony backdrop, the golden sunset during cocktail hour, and the relaxed, elegant atmosphere throughout the night. It genuinely felt like our own private paradise. If you're considering Loulu Palm for your wedding, do it. It's a place filled with beauty, heart, and aloha.
