Hawaii Hotel Wedding Sites
Unless you are having 40 or more guests, a hotel wedding ceremony site is not for you!
Unfortunately, continuing trends in the hotel industry make hotels a last choice for brides and grooms. Ridiculous prices, and unreasonable requirements such as requiring you to pay a 20% fee of a vendors cost to the hotel as a extra fee to use him/her, or a $1000 flat fee if you want to use a vendor not on their "preferred" kickback list, less than timely responses, etc., have made hotel weddings only for people who are forced to have their weddings at a hotel. We understand now that many hotels are charging $3500.00 and more just to stand on their grass to have your ceremony, plus you have to rent the reception room not includng the cost of the meal service!
Also, most of the hotels are now offering wedding packages with minister, flowers, photos, etc.. Many hotels mark-up their services excessively or charge "kick-backs" to the vendors which is eventually passed on to you in the form of significantly higher prices. Booking a hotel package may seem easy but, you'll end up paying far more for far less.
Here’s what one of our clients emailed us regarding her reception: "We are getting an impression from the hotel's catering office that they are trying to squeeze out as much as they possibly can from us, which we feel is a bit intimidating. We now think that it was a great decision for us to book the venders thru you, you were very honest and up-front with all fees from the start. Well, just letting you know. Cheers from Misha".
