- KYKaolee YangApr 8, 20265.0We got married back in Nov 2025 and just finally getting around to making a review. Haiku Gardens is beautiful and our wedding was perfect! We worked with Tamara throughout the year planning wedding details and Morgan was our day of coordinator, she was on top of everything! Many of our guests said the vibes were amazing and food was delicious especially their poke! House DJ was also amazing and for sure was catching what vibes we wanted. I could not stop dancing at all. Wedding planning was very easy and organized. My husband and I are so grateful to have this experience and definitely created long lasting memories here. I highly recommend Haiku Gardens for your wedding day. Drinks, food, music, scenery was everything that we could ask for(lots of places for you to take photos).Thank you for everything Haiku team!!~~ Ya'll rock. Hoping to come back in the future for an anniversary and eat in the restaurant.
- JJJaxMar 2, 20261.0Trust the low star reviews. They will take weeks to respond to you during the planning process and you won’t even get any significant details until maybe three days before your wedding date. They’ll also screw up things left and right and won’t take any accountability and then blame you. The owner Tim and the coordinator Morgan will constantly lie and lie and lie. Morgan is as incompetent as they come and will get everything you plan and pay for wrong and will try to put words in your mouth if you try to speak up. They are known amongst locals as a place that treat your weddings as a tourist excursion and they do not care about you at all whatsoever. You’re just another paying tourist and aren’t special to them at all. If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Oahu, you can do better literally anywhere else. You have been warned.
- WGWilliam GrahamFeb 24, 20265.0We had a wonderful wedding and reception at Haiku Gardens and Haliewa Joes respectively. We had looked at other scenic venues like Kualoa Ranch that were beautiful but also more expensive and since he had a smaller more intimate wedding (20-25 people) it made better sense for us. We were looking for a beautiful mountain backdrop and we really lucked out. One of the advantages of having the reception there as well is that you can still take pictures of the mountain from the restaurant. The site really sells itself. The only downside is that we took over the restaurant and couldn’t fill it because our party was smaller, but we really liked the ambiance and it seemed a lot nicer than a lot of the hotel corporate rooms that were at a similar price point. The wedding planning coordination was pretty well done in general and we loved our officiant. We opted for the middle option of food that included pork chops, steak and a fish option. Everyone said they enjoyed the food and we added bruschetta and coconut shrimp for appetizers. Overall it was memorable experience that we will cherish dearly.
- GGGary g-manFeb 22, 20265.0Place is AWESOME !!! went for my youngest sons wedding a month ago and all i can say is A MAGICAL DAY !!!!! Shown below is the fish dish they prepared WOW !!!!!!!
- KLKelsey LarshFeb 10, 20265.0Our experience at Haiku Gardens for rehearsal lunch was great! We are so happy we chose to go with this vendor as they were organized and attentive. The food was great paired with the atmosphere and live ukulele player! Our day-before jitters were at ease working with them!
