My husband and I had our wedding at Haiku Gardens just this past weekend, and they were amazing! As others have noted, we did sometimes find communication difficult/slow in the lead-up to our event (they have a large volume of events). However, our day-of coordinator, Kat, was SO amazing and our wedding & reception was so perfect that we truly couldn't imagine having gone with a different venue. The food was incredible (of course), and our guests from out-of-town remarked that they appreciated seeing a different part of the island. I truly cannot say enough great things about how perfect of a day it was. I would definitely recommend Haiku Gardens for your wedding, too!

We had the most amazing wedding at Haiku Gardens venue in Oahu HI. The venue is at Haleiwa Joes Seafood Grill. Everything was perfect. We planned a destination wedding for our daughter. We went online and found Haiku Gardens venue. We had been working with another venue and the. Felt that we needed something different. We had 2 months before the wedding. Once we found Haiku Gardens venue we got straight to work with emails and phone calls. Morgan knee EXACLY what to do. She had everything completely organized and all the right questions. We had everything ready in time and when we actually showed up to the venue on the wedding day - it was more beautiful than the pictures can express. Morgan was incredibly efficient, proactive and helpful in ensuring every step was ready. The lunch was amazing! The guests raved about the food. Haleiwa Joe’s Seafood Grill is part of the venue and prepared the lunch. The view was beautiful and lunch was magnificent. The entire day was smooth and perfect, really. I was very nervous as this was our first destination wedding but we could not have been more blessed to find this venue. Everything was prepared and ready. They had everything in one place to choose all our wedding options. Once we were at the venue, Morgan and Kat went straight to work helping make sure everything was in place and ready. The entire experience was flawless. We had to make some accommodations for our photographer and Morgan and Kat were right there to be sure everything continued as flawless as possible. If you are doing a wedding - DO IT AT HAIKU GARDENS! Thank you Morgan and Kat for EVERYTHING!

Our hosts Morgan and Kat were amazing and absolutely a joy to work with through all our planning and especially the day of the wedding! They were so attentive and handled all our needs so efficiently. We had booked another venue that was unresponsive and too nonchalant that made us lose confidence in their ability to provide the service, so we canceled and found Haiku Gardens only 2 months before the wedding!!! Miraculously, they had the one day available for us and pulled it all together as if they had all year to plan for it. They helped my daughter so much by communicating all the details and what was next on the agenda so we didn’t have to worry about what comes next. They put the bride at ease and gave her a comfort level that made it a wonderful experience overall. In addition to the staff going above and beyond and just being awesome, the venue itself was beyond expectations and incredibly beautiful! The pics online don’t do it justice. We could not have been more satisfied with how this wedding turned out. A great big thank you to Haiku Gardens and especially Morgan and Kat for making my daughter’s wedding day so special and magnificent! I cannot recommend Haiku Gardens enough for how professional and beautiful they make a wedding!!!!

I got married at Haiku Gardens last week. Photos do not do it justice - just a lovely place and very kind, helpful staff and coordinators every step of the way. I had a small ceremony, really only 12 adults and 2 kids, and I especially appreciated that they did not try to sell me on anything more than what I requested. All of the vendors did wonderfully and much love to Kat, Morgan, and Eric for making it a perfect celebration.

We 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.
