Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Tucked amid a lush, native forest along the dreamy Kona Coast (where the sunsets are legendary), this intimate, family-run spot boasts three and a half acres of spectacular gardens and gracious gathering spaces.
- Chose your favorite spot to say “I do”…it’ll be the only tough decision you make, since every corner of the grounds is so divine. Once you’re wed, guests dine beneath café lights on the covered cottage deck, and dance in the open-sided pavilion as the sun dips below the Pacific.
- Intimate weddings are their speciality (though elopements and private parties for all occasions are welcome, too), and they offer tons of helpful add-ons, including lawn games, bonfires, and even private boat excursions.
