I have been here before for my friends wedding and a DLS company party way back when. I forget when though. lol. Anyway, came here for dinner, dessert and celebrate his accomplishment of being Valedictorian of his graduating class of 2025 at Pearl City High School. I knew him from birth till present day. From the main highway I don't remember having to drive on a very long and winding to get there. But, it's worth it. Plenty parking. Food and dessert was good. Service was friendly and fast. Ambiance is really nice the views, dress up more than casual and very comfortable inside here. If someone else has something here in the future. I will definitely come here again. I live Kahala and I will definitely drive to here again.

Rehearsal and day of wedding I had Kat helping me. She was a breath of fresh air, intuitive and kept people on a schedule. She helped me feel calm and that everything was in order. Day of the wedding we also had Kim helping and she brought a great energy and made sure I had a drink in my hand at all times. Also the male servers were very kind and proactive. (I wish I knew their names.) I appreciate how nice and accommodating the staff was to my dog Chili. He loved being apart of our special day I'm very happy he was able to be there. 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. We had an issue with an unprofessional vendor after our wedding and they were able to help us resolve the problem and understood our concerns. Mahalo again Haiku Gardens we appreciate you!

I booked the solo guitarist thru the venue for the ceremony I don't know his name but he did an amazing job! I got the bride suite to get ready and definitely recommend, it's comfy and has AC. I booked my hair and makeup with the venue her name was Emily, she was EXCELLENT. My hair and makeup stayed put all day! The staff there was great, Kat and Kim were our coordinators that day. 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.

The Japanese company owned chapel is kept in immaculate condition as well as the property grounds surrounding it. The company can accommodate smaller groups for the reception portion as well, but because of our larger head count we opted to hold the reception at a hotel in Waikiki. It was a bit of a drive for everyone to commute to and from Waikiki for the reception, but otherwise overall it was a great option and we would definitely do it again if we could.

If you're shopping for a wedding planner/coordinator Janice is an absolute must-have!! We got…read moremarried on February 12, 2024, and not a single day goes by without being in awe of how perfect everything was! Since my first phone call with Janice, I knew she was the one! She asked me where my venue was and was already giving me tips and quoted something from our contract with the venue. I was amazed at how much she knew! I immediately called my husband and told him & he agreed that she'd be the one! Truthfully, our best investment for our wedding was hiring Janice and her team! Everything went so smoothly and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our day, without having to worry about any of the major or minuscule details! She truly delivered and executed our dream wedding and we could not be more thankful!!!! I loved every single one of our consultations because we always got the best advice since she literally knows EVERYTHING you need to know about the wedding industry! She gave us things to do every time before our next consultation, and would also give us a list of things we needed that we didn't even think of before she mentioned it!! I also loved the ability to be in consistent communication since we had a destination wedding!! Each time I called she was so sweet! We were also able to get some of our items delivered to her PO Box which was great because we didn't have to take too much luggage! I'm telling you, you absolutely need a wedding coordinator and the BEST one out there is Janice! Our other vendors even mentioned that every wedding they go to where Janice is the coordinator, everything always runs smoothly! Truthfully, we are absolutely so grateful for Janice, her boyfriend and her team! They really outdid themselves!!! We had the absolute best day of our lives and couldn't be more grateful for Janice! She truly is such an amazing person with a kind heart and made us feel like the guests of honor at our wedding! Definitely exceeded our expectations!! Truly Janice and BF and team, thank you for playing such a big part in making our wedding dreams come true. Forever grateful and may God continue to bless you, your ohana, and your business always! Thank you SO much!!!! Marifrey & Bryan Escobar

Great person. Janice was very thorough during the prep, however, there were many issues during the…read morerehearsal day & on the wedding day. For starters, Janice told us that she had another wedding the same day in the morning AFTER she had my then fiancé & I sign her contract. There were issues in Janice not coordinating clearance for my 91-year-old flower girl & her caregiver to drive up the special utility road for the rehearsal AND wedding day; resulting in my flower girl & her caregiver driving 40+ minutes TWO DAYS in a row, just to be turned around by security. The result was that I had NO flower girl on my wedding day & my officiant announced to my seated guests if anyone had seen ______ (my flower girl's name). Causing confusion and frustration to my guests, bridal party, my parents, and the groom, & myself. My mom was talking on the phone with my flower girl's caregiver trying to figure out what was happening & why security turned them around, while also trying to rush back to get her makeup touch-up. My mom tried to call Janice's phone to ask for help in coordinating my flower girl's arrival, however, Janice did not pick up. Later Janice said something along the lines of I don't keep my phone on me when I go to the ceremony area.....I couldn't help but think, "You're the VERY ONE who SHOULD have your phone on you in case anything happens or we need help. During the Reception, she was in the back by the DJ the whole time and when I was thinking that the DJ forgot a special family dance song...I, the bride had to get up from the sweetheart table at the front and walk across the side of the dance floor to flag Janice down (twice because there was an interruption) to ask her if they skipped/forgot about the special family dance. Her team also did not set up the game supplies to be under the sweetheart table, so I had to walk over to a maid-of honor and ask her to get the box at the pavilion labeled "reception." Since Janice had a wedding in the morning when my bridal party arrived to Kualoa Ranch, her sister and significant other came to help set things up. The makeup artist's scheduled time on the itinerary was off from what was communicated to the makeup artist...so we thought the makeup artist was late. The sister didn't know much about how to help set up things and even said she was tired and hungry...so I, the bride gave her a banana to snack on. I honestly could go on...but will just say that I would NOT recommend this company for your special wedding day.

Planning a wedding in Hawaii from California is difficult but Dianna made everything so easy. She is quick to respond to your emails and questions and you can depend on her to get the job done. She is open and honest and is willing to help you work within your budget and with whatever parts of the wedding planning process you want help. Dianna is very knowledgeable and experienced, and we immediately felt comfortable after we met her. She is very accommodating and even willing to go above and beyond what is required of a wedding planner. Hawaii Weddings and Event truly caters to the kind of event you're having and your exact needs. All the vendors that Dianna used for our wedding were exceptional. Our wedding day was perfect. The venue that Dianna had suggested for our intimate private ceremony was exceptional. The day went on without one hiccup. We couldn't have had a more relaxing stress-free wedding. Thank you, Dianna for making our wedding day perfect! I honestly cannot recommend a more phenomenal wedding planner/coordinator!

I'm not sure if it's just me but I think there should be a minimum three day response time. If that's not doable, I may accept one week but definitely not two. And there's more... Finally got a response so I go over the package and call them back with questions for all these "extra charges." Getting married outside of Honolulu? There's a charge for that. Having the ceremony and reception at different locations? There's a charge for that. Having it at the same place? There's a charge for that too. More than 75 guests? You guessed it!!! There's a charge for that too! Paying with a credit card so you can earn miles? Yes, there's a charge for that. 3.5% processing fee to be exact! But with all those extra charges, I was still going to book them because of their reputation. I mean look at their reviews! So, I told them to send me the contract and it never came. Two weeks later, I get a email apologizing for the delay and asking me where my venue was again. Are you serious? I need an organized coordinator that I can trust! I sent them an email saying I will no longer need their services. Guess how many emails I got after that? Like five in a row with more apologies and excuses of how busy they were and how they're working on hiring and training someone to make the contracts. Whatever, I don't care. You can't handle the volume of your business, that's your problem. I need someone that can handle. I'm so happy I didn't go with them. I now have a coordinator that responds to all my emails and there are no extra fees. One that I trust and that is something so vital for one of the most important days of your life!

She is very competitively priced for the responsibilities she will be doing for us. We also hired Jill to take care of all of the floral on the big day. We hosted our wedding at the Ko'olau Ballroom with about 122 guests that were mainly all from out of state. My wife could tell that Jill was experienced when she sent her photos and details of what she envisioned that the wedding was going to be like after our first initial conversation. She was on point and guided us throughout the process. She had great suggestions and advised on details on the wedding. We wanted to make the wedding a great time since we want to make it an unforgettable experience for us, our family, and all of our guests since they are all coming out of their way to travel to Hawaii to attend. Jill gave us wonderful referrals to our photographer, videographer, EMCEE, DJ, and many vendors. We hired the All-Star Cast and they delivered! All of our guests and family reached out to us and told us how much fun they had. The wedding went so smoothly besides one small hiccup on a vendor, but Jill got the situation handled! We can't thank Jill enough for creating this beautiful memory for us and our family. You know how most couples are so glad that they are done with the wedding after it ends? I had so much fun at the wedding; I wouldn't mind running it back! Christine had her dream wedding and we both couldn't image it being any better.

First and foremost, all of the floral arrangements were absolutely beautiful. Jill and her team…read moretruly delivered. I especially loved my bridal bouquet and the arch arrangements -- they were exactly what I had envisioned. I also appreciated that she created a shared Google Doc for us to collaborate on our vision. She was able to provide a quote during our initial phone call, which was impressive, especially compared to other florists who took weeks -- even months -- to send one over. She worked within my budget and thoughtfully suggested ways to repurpose ceremony arrangements for the reception, which helped us save money. One challenge I experienced was at the start of our time working together. When I requested a few edits to the contract, it was initially difficult to get in touch with her or her team. As someone who is very Type A, the contract details were extremely important to me, and I felt hesitant signing before those revisions were made. Unfortunately, it took nearly two months to receive a response, and I had to follow up multiple times via email and text before hearing back. Additionally, her quote was presented as one full price rather than itemized. Other florists I spoke with provided itemized breakdowns, which I personally appreciated in case I needed to remove or adjust specific pieces. That said, for the price we paid, her work was truly beautiful and well worth it!
