Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Nestled at the base of the Ko'olau Mountains, this dreamy private estate is a serene botanical paradise with a hidden-away feel despite its convenient setting just 30 minutes from Honolulu. Here, celebrations unfold on soft, sun-dappled lawns bounded by lush tropical greenery, as the dramatic peaks rise into the mist behind you.
- Elopements and intimate gatherings are a perfect fit, with generous packages that feature inclusions like a licensed officiant, floral arch décor and two leis, and day-of coordination to ease the planning process. Whether it's just you and your sweetie saying "I do" among the rustling palms or you opt to join 30 of your favorite people for a dance party under the stars, there's an option to fit your vision.
- The nearby Cocolani Gardens, a farmer-florist duo (and this venue's sister company!) offers special discounts for Open Palms couples, which means your florals can be fresh, locally grown, and handled by people who already know the property. They'll happily accommodate everything from simple floral arrangements to full-scale event design.
