Loulu Palm Estate

We got married on May 10th. The site is beautiful and the pictures do not do it justice. Kristina was able to help us plan the whole wedding from California. She answered all of our questions quickly and made suggestions for all parts of the wedding. Kristina was also our coordinator and made our flower arrangments which turned out amazing. All of our guest commented on how beautiful the location was. It is very secluded, we only saw 3-4 people walk by on the beach. We recommend this site to any one looking for a beautiful beach setting with privacy.

We loved everything about Loulu Palm Estate!  The staff, the venue, the private beach, the large green lawn.  Let me start off by saying that Kristina is the best person to work with.  She is professional, caring, thoughtful, and everything you wish for in a wedding coordinator.  My budget didn't call for a wedding planner so I hired her as a wedding day coordinator and she did more than coordinate the day of the wedding.  She went above and beyond than what I expected.  She made planning this wedding easy, pain free, and stress free.  The day of the wedding went by so smoothly all thanks to her and her assistant Renee.  They set up at the reception area better than what I had pictured it in my head.  She had great ideas for place setting displays, table numbers and centerpieces.  She knew my wedding budget was low and she worked with it and made it the most perfect wedding ever.  Other staff involved were  the care takers of the venue and they keep the venue pristine and perfect.  They were also very helpful the day of the wedding when it came to set up and making sure the wedding party had everything they needed.  They also kept the inside of the house clean and well maintained.  I just know my wedding pictures will come out perfect because the house is perfect.  The beach is perfect for pictures and has the best sunsets of the island.  Our wedding came out perfect and it was all because of the people who work for Loulu Palm Estates.  I wouldn't change anything about our wedding!!

We just had our wedding in March at Loulu Palm Estate, and couldn't have been happier with the venue. Linda, the property manager, is a dream to work with--she was very responsive to all my questions, which was especially important since I was planning the wedding from a distance. They were very accommodating, and the property is very well-managed. The location is absolutely breathtaking and the property is well taken care of. Everything ran perfectly and we really did have the best day of our lives!

We just had our wedding on March 1 at Loulu Palm and WOW!! Words cannot explain how beautiful that venue is! It is far more breath taking than the pictures!! Plus the service is excellent!! Kristina and Linda from Loulu Palm were so amazing to work with!! They were thorough, fast to respond to my (many) questions, helpful and reliable!! I received SOOO many compliments on the venue from all of our wedding guests. I would highly recommend this venue for your wedding or special event. I am a Special Events Manager in New York City and have worked with many venues and vendors and I was thoroughly impressed!!! If you go with Loulu Palm, you will be in good hands!! I cannot thank them enough for such an amazing wedding!!!

I was married February 15th at Loulu Palm Estate and couldn't have imagined a more beautiful venue. We live in Hawaii and of all the wedding venues on the island, Loulu by far, was the most beautiful and tropical. All of my guests raved about how beautiful it was as soon as they stepped out of the car. Linda and the staff were so helpful, friendly and more than accommodating. I really don't have anything negative to say about the experience. I had a very large wedding party of 8 bridesmaids and being able to get ready on site, in so much space and in such a beautiful home was so wonderful.

When I first started planning my destination wedding in Hawaii, I had no idea how to go about finding the best possible venue. My husband and I wanted to renew our vows and invite our closest family and friends to witness this special event. For sure we wanted to stay in the North Shore since it was much more quieter and less crowded than the Waikiki side. With an intimate beach setting and budget in mind, I stumbled upon the Loulu Palm Estate website. Let's just say I stopped searching for other venues soon after that. Everything else in the planning just all fell into place. Kristina was our initial contact at Loulu and answered all the questions my husband and I had and really took the time to listen to what we envisioned. We decided to have her as our wedding coordinator and it was such a blessing to work with her. She had us at ease at all times and gave suggestions when we needed them since we weren't there physically to make some of the decisions. Since everything was planned from the mainland it wasn't until the day before the wedding did we arrive at the estate. The pictures on the site don't do it justice. You have to be there on the grounds of the estate to actually see what we mean. It was absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking! We loved the location and the secludedness of the beach. The beach served as a beautiful backdrop during the ceremony. The plantation home on the property was well maintained and had a serenity feeling to it. We heard nothing but positive feedback from our guests as they too, weren't expecting how unbelievably gorgeous the ceremony and reception was going to be. Our guests would not stop talking about how much of an awesome time they had, as we did too! We had a Hawaiian Luau themed wedding. From the flower decor, table settings, to the tiki torches, gorgeous bamboo arch, to the luau buffet, tiki bar, to the guitar soloist and tahitian dancers...it was everything we imagined it to be. The weather cooperated with us which paved way for a breathtaking night. We even had a fire pit going towards the end! It was memories made that we will hold forever in our hearts. If we could do it all over again, we would..of course minus the planning part =) Our wedding in paradise was a success! Loulu Palm Estate certainly served for that purpose. We are so glad we were able to find this hidden gem in the North Shore!

My husband and I give Loulu Palm Estate and Linda and her crew a solid 5 stars. The whole property is just breathtaking...literally! I caught my breath when we first saw it. If you like the beach, it has a private beach. If you like the mountains, it has a mountain backdrop. If you like garden, it has garden areas along the sides and throughout the property, and I hear they're planning on creating a larger one by the Yurt. We also had the property for practically the whole day, not just a few rushed hours until the next party comes along after your event. Your day is just that...the WHOLE day.

Linda and crew were very professional, kept in touch with us, and answered all of our questions. Most importantly to me, they were NEVER pushy with us. She even provided referrals when we didn't know who to contact for our other vendors. My husband and I had an offbeat wedding and Linda was generous with our requests; something I didn't think would ever happen anywhere. I felt blessed that I could have what I wanted at our wedding.

We couldn't have found a better venue nor a better crew. We're definitely recommending LPE to everyone. Next stop...baby's first birthday? We'll keep in touch.

The Loulu Palm Estate was absolutely breathtaking. It is secluded and right down the road from Turtle Bay Resort. The house is beautiful and the lawn is amazing. All of my guests were in awe at the property. I planned the wedding from Texas and did not see the venue until the day before the wedding. I was extremely happy with the venue and the ammenities that it provided. It is a true hidden gem on the North Shore of Oahu.

Picking a wedding venue sight unseen can be pretty risky but I was so thrilled when we saw the venue for the very first time only days before the wedding.

One of the most important aspects of my wedding was that I wanted it to feel private and intimate and this is exactly what Loulu Palms delivered. The beach was completely private and the entire property was great for our guests to roam about throughout the night.

The grounds are beautiful and well kept maintained. It was simply a stunning place to get married. We had the beatiful ocean on one side of us and the green lush mountains to the other side.

Our guests raved about the site all night long!
Not only was the site perfect but so were the property managers! We first met them at the rehearsal and they were so sweet and so happy to have us there.

Our wedding ended at 10pm and then we were able to stay for two more hours and finish the night off with music around a bonfire. It was the perfect end to the night and I highly recommend this option for wedding parties that dont want their night to end at 10pm. A special thanks to Lance for being so wonderful during those two hours!

Loulu Palm is a beautiful wedding site and it was just how my wedding coordinator described it, a blank canvas that you mold into your dream wedding.

Loved every bit of it! Highly recommend!

In August we had the pleasure of hosting my sister's wedding at Loulu Palms Estate. I say pleasure, because that is what the entire experience was. In addition to being a lucky sister of the bride, I am also a professional wedding consultant. Over the years I have worked with countless venues and I feel that what Loulu is currently doing is to be commended. Their new management team is professional, kind, and gracious. In fact, it felt as if we were holding the wedding at the estate of a friend, rather than a rented venue. Linda handles their bookings and she was always quick to get back to us, offering much needed suggestions and important information. Carol, their resident caretaker, was so warm and willing to offer her services as well.

Loulu was perfect for our Hawaii born family, as well as our guests from afar. The property is a beautifully, private spot, that really is true to the "old Hawaii" feeling. The quaint plantation home has recently been redecorated and the fresh flowers they provide make it feel even that much more special on the wedding day. They also have some beautiful and reasonable props for rent (bar, bamboo ceremony arch, and gas grill) that can help couples save money and time. Not to mention, they provide a dumpster for you at no additional cost. This too is a big savings for couples that don't realize most (if not all) estate venues require that you hire your catering team to remove trash, or rent a dumpster which is about $200-$300.

I have worked at Loulu prior to my sisters wedding and have always thought the property a wonderful place for a wedding. Recently though they have improved upon "wonderful" and I happily recommend them again and again.

Aloha Linda and Loulu!!!

We immediate fell in love with Loulu Palm Estate the minute we saw it back in April 2010. The venue and ocean views are breathtaking and the plantation house reminded me of where my mom and her brothers grew up. It was so understated and simple, and it could not have been more perfect for our wedding.

We had read some not so great reviews about the venue but Kristina explained the misunderstanding. She was so honest and reassuring we decided to book LPE without even looking at other venues on Oahu. The lawn, beach, bathrooms, bridal suite and parking space seemed like a good package and we were happy with our decision. At first, we were a little hesitant about their requirement to use Pacific Party Rentals for the tenting and rentals because we had heard nightmare stories about "preferred vendors" however PPR's customer service is awesome and their rentals are in superb condition. We quickly understood why LPE requires clients to use their services. Trust them on this.

LPE changed management several months before our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with it. Linda was really on top of things and she always responded within 24 hours. She even asked if we wanted to drop things off the day before since they didn't have an event so we could get things in early. Carol was our day of contact and she was so sweet. We really feel like they went above and beyond help with us with our wedding.
Our guests continue to tell us what a beautiful wedding it was. We feel so fortunate to not only have had such a great venue but such an awesome team behind it.

We had our wedding and reception at the Loulu Palm Estate this past June and we were extremely happy with the venue itself and the service we received. The venue itself is stunning, with a large well-kept lawn going from the house to the beach. We had our ceremony on the grass near the beach, and our reception under a large tent in the middle of the lawn. This place makes for great pictures, and our guests loved visiting a place many of them hadn't been to before.

The service was, quite honestly, excellent. We worked with Linda, who went above and beyond in seeing to it that everything went smoothly. She was very flexible, gave us great advice, and was in touch with us often leading up to and following the big day. The wedding business is an industry here on Oahu, but we felt like we got personalized service and were treated very well. When we first booked the venue, it was under different management, but since changing management we noticed a much more individualized level of service. We felt like Linda was looking out for us, and even when we ran into stumbling blocks with a vendor, she made sure it was all sorted out.

We both were very pleased with Loulu Palm, and we'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful setting for their wedding.

When we were looking at locations in July of 2010 for our destination wedding on the North Shore of Oahu in June 2011 we were finding it difficult to find a location that could not only accommodate the amount of people that would be potentially attending, but also had the feel we wanted. When we came across Loulu Palm Estate it seemed to be exactly what we were looking for in every way.

Prior to our appointment to view the property we had read numerous negative reviews with regards to management and professionalism. This would obviously be a major concern for anyone, and quite frankly almost deterred us from keeping our appointment. However, after speaking with Kristina about our concerns we felt confident that any questions or misunderstandings from previous postings had been answered to our satisfaction.

The venue, as many of our guest have repeatedly stated, is the most beautiful, perfect place one could have imagined for a wedding. The little white cottage, vast lawn, and beautiful beach provided a backdrop and experience for all to remember. When it comes to the North Shore there is nothing like it.

With regards to management, they couldn't have been more professional and provided a quality of service that truly embodied the "Aloha" of Hawaii. In fact, Loulu Palm had installed new management since our initial booking of the property, and we couldn't have been happier. Linda was so prompt in responding to emails and calls; usually within 24 hours if not sooner. She was also very accommodating in allowing us to stop by as many times as was necessary throughout the week to iron out any details. And Carol was unbelievable! Her energy and kindness will be forever appreciated. She went above and beyond prior, during, and after the wedding. We will definitely stop to say hello next time we are there. In all, they were incredible and made our day spectacular.

Overall, our experience was magical and will be remembered forever. Loulu Palm is an incredible place and comes HIGHLY recommended. You will not be disappointed. We are still reliving the day and would not change a thing. ALOHA!

We got married in June 2011, and it was exquisite. I truly had the wedding of my dreams thanks to Kristina and Loulu Palm Estate.

Kristina helped with the planning throughout our entire engagement - she was responsive and had fantastic suggestions, and really made an effort to get to know my vision. She has a fantastic heart and made the entire process so smooth and easy for me.

I was such a laid-back bride because of the care that Kristina, the Estate and their trusted vendors put into our day. It was perfect and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Cheers!

Wow! After a great deal of searching, my husband and I looked at and booked Loulu Palm Estate just three weeks before our wedding!! Linda was so accommodating as to when we could come and see it and even offered us time for a dress rehearsal the day before if we wanted. The yard was perfectly manicured and furniture was set up in the house just for us to get ready and take photos in. They provided a refrigerator for our caterer to use and they didn't require a per person fee to use the property. Also provided was a bamboo arch for our ceremony!!

I have never seen a more beautiful wedding venue in my life. My father had been pushing us to get married at the resort he would be staying at based on photos he had seen of the resort. In my entire life I have never ever heard my father say He was wrong. It is always that he "Stands corrected." Well after one look at Loulu Palm, he came back and told me, in front of everyone, that when He's Wrong, he says he's wrong and he was wrong about the other venue. He couldn't imagine a more beautiful and perfect place for my wedding than Loulu Palm. That says it all....

I have to say...we had the perfect wedding. The property sells itself no doubt but thanks to Kristina and the staff at Loulu Palm it made our experience that much better. Kristina was so patient and helpful when it came to answering all my questions, and I had a lot. I even made several trips up to the property during our planning, they were so nice and accomodating to let me stop by as many times as I did. I did most of the planning up until the last four weeks when we hired Alicia with Milestone Events. She was truly amazing to work with and was very professional. It's a good idea to choose a vendor and planner who knows the property. Alicia executed our vision with perfection and more. The food was catered by Vanessa at Beaches and Backyards, AMAZING food, professional and also very easy to work with. Sheryl at Pacific Party Rentals was also very professional, patient and accomodating to all the different changes we made throughout our planning. Sheryl and her staff worked very hard with us to provide the vision we wanted. The quality of their equipment was so nice, clean and beautiful. The flowers by Flower Farm were impeccable. I was speechless. Another wonderful vendor to work with that I HIGHLY recommend.
Our experience was more than wonderful, I would do it all over again.

If you ever want to have the perfect beach wedding you want to look at the Loulu Palm Estate. This location is a dream come true. My wedding pictures are so beautiful and the location is the reason why. My ceremony overlooks the ocean. The grass extends right up to the ocean so you don't have to worry about sand in your shoes or on your feet. One big plus is that you can have the ceremony and reception all in the same location so your guests are not driving all over the place. After the ceremony we had a variety of places to take pictures, both on and off the beach. For those guests who indeed wanted to take pictures on the beach with sand in their toes, they had the opportunity to do this as well. The reception was also breathtaking. You can sit down for dinner with the backdrop of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. One suggestion we have is to look up the sunset time, we moved all the festivities over to the beach to take sunset pictures. It truly was magnificent. The staff was also a big plus and I do not think that the wedding would of have run as smoothly if it wasn't for them. Not only were they personable but I had many complements from my family on how well the staff worked. There are always minor last minute details and according to my family the staff was more than accommodating and always had a helping hand. The food was also delicious. We had a buffet and the food was well presented and tasted great. You may think a buffet in an outdoor venue may not be as fresh by the time all the guests got food but this was not the case. The food was indeed warm, delicious and fresh, even for those who come up for seconds and thirds. The head chef was at the location early in the morning and stayed till the very end to insure that everything ran smoothly with his staff. He did not have to worry because everyone was more than helpful.



Overall my experience with Loulu Palm Estate was incredible. I actually enjoyed my wedding and truly believe it was a beautiful experience. I would most defiantly recommend Loulu Palm Estate to anyone looking to throw a memorable party.

I grew up on the North Shore of Oahu and searched high and low for the perfect location for my wedding and ceremony. I didn't want to have it at a hotel, and I wanted something more private than the beach. And Loulu Palms was the perfect venue. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, and accommodating and wanted to make sure everything was as we wanted it for the special day. We used Loulu Palms catering company and the food was fantastic - guests raved about it - and they we more than willing to customize the menu for us and serve it as we wanted it served. Really, Loulu Palms could not have been more perfect! And if we had to do it all over again, we would do it the exact same way.

I knew the minute I saw Loulu Palm that is was the spot that I wanted for our wedding. It is in beautiful North Shore and the views are incredible. our guests knew immediately when they arrived why we had chosen Loulu Palm. Linda was easy to work with and the fees were reasonable in my opinion.

We shuttled guests from Turtle Bay Resort (a great hotel where most of our guests stayed) to Loulu Palm, which is only about a mile away. There is also parking at Loulu Palm for those guests who chose to drive themselves to and from.

The weather cooperated and the night was absolutely perfect!

We had a destination wedding and didn't know what to expect. We planned our wedding through emails, phone calls and websites so being the bride I was very stressed. As soon as we saw the location, pictures or words can't even describe how beautiful Loulu Palms Estate really is. We never thought this place would be as beautiful as we saw on the website. We were very impressed and highly recommend this location for a romantic sunset wedding. It was just perfect. Despite minor delays on returning out calls it was well worth it.

My Loulu Palm experience started off rough due to some unprofessional people working for them BUT once they went under new management things turned around. The new management was easy to work with and wanted to do everything they could to please me and they did!!
This location is like no other in this area. It is very private and you feel like it is just you and your guests. There are no other tourists etc walking by. It is very quiet too and off the beaten path. The beauty is undeniably gorgeous!! The stunning beach and mountains behind tell it all. The grounds are well kept and the house is newly furnished and painted. It is comfortable and clean.
I believe Loulu Palm is the best value because you can hire your own caterer of your choice as well as bring our own alcohol and not get charged the outrageous hotel costs. You have a lot of flexibility at this location to really make it your own original wedding and not some cliche. I do advise though to hire a wedding planner since you need to organize everything and it can get overwhelming doing it yourself.

The only reason I gave 3.5 stars on Flexibility is that Loulu Palm required us to rent a tent from their preferred vendor. The tent company was quite a bit more expensive than other vendors in the area. Other than that, it was great. I was able to use the caterer, bartender, DJ, and rental company of my choice.
Loulu Palm is the most amazing beautiful hidden piece of paradise on the North Shore. I would recommend it to any bride. We have traveled to Oahu numerous times & scouted out other places and this was by far the best venue and amazing for the price.

Amazing property and wedding was perfect!!
We had our wedding in June of 2010 and Loulu Palm and its' staff helped make our special day terrific. The estate's location is on the amazing north shore of oahu and is absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful manicured lawn with its' own (basically) private beach. We couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect setting....our guests were blown away by how beautiful it was.
I worked mostly with Heather and Kristina from the Loulu Palm Estate who were extremely helpful. They answered all my questions promptly and were great with recommendations.
Living on Oahu, I wanted to show family and friends the estate, as well as my photographer....and Loulu Palm was very accommadating letting me schedule over 4 visits to the estate. We had our rehearsal the day before our wedding at the estate and our wedding day went off without a hitch.

My family and attendants had a great time getting ready at the house.

The preferred rental company, Pacific Party Rentals, was a joy to work with and were extremely professional and responsive.

The security deposit we put down with Loulu Palm was returned within a week after the wedding which was nice.

We could not have imagined a better location for our wedding and I was extremely pleased with the service Loulu Palm provided.

In reference to a few of the negative reviews....I felt that I was extremely organized with all my vendors including Loulu Palm, and made sure to communicate with each of them every week to stay on the same page. I had no issues with Loulu Palm and they were very responsive. I believe the folks with the negative experiences could have avoided them if they stayed on top of things, and asked tons of questions (down to the tiny details) and kept in good contact with every vendor (or hired a wedding planner that you trust will stay on top of things for you).
Thank you to Loulu Palm for being so easy to work with and for making our wedding day so beautiful and memorable!

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding at Loulu Palm and have nothing but fond memories of it. The staff and Linda there were very helpful and professional in every way. My wife and I didn't experience a single snafu during our wedding. They worked well with our vendors and the place looked magnificent for our big day. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a destination wedding - to us, it beats the many other venues that Oahu offers.

After finding Loulu Palm Estate on a website, I knew from that moment that I wanted to get married there. Other venues we looked at after our visit to Loulu Palm didn't even compare. Loulu Palm is in a great location if you're looking for a secluded area. We wanted just that for our wedding day. Facing the south, you get the beautiful lush green mountains and facing north, you have the beautiful ocean. Loulu Palm has it's own private beach as well (means no tourists in your wedding pictures!).

We had an amazing experience with the staff at Loulu Palm from our first email contact, to our first visit, to our tasting, to our wedding day! And being able to customize and "put together" my wedding with a blank slate was an incredible. The staff is very flexible and more accomodating than you can imagine!

In hindsight, we couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding day. The pictures, the memories, and the day will forever be with us. Our family and friends are still talking about our wedding to this day! If you are looking for your dream wedding, this is the place! Mahalo to the entire Loulu Palm Estate Staff!

Being from the Mainland, and have visited Maui a few times, my fiance I thought a private, personable, hawaiian destination wedding on the beach would be ideal for us and a venue we assumed would have limitless options for booking on the hawaiian islands. We quickly found this not to be the case. After researching for a few months on a couple different islands for what was seeming to be an impossible venue, we ran across the Loulu Palm Estate which was exactly what we had been searching for. A couple of weeks after exchanging a handful of emails and speaking with the staff, we quickly booked our wedding 10 months prior to the big day!

LLP is truly one of a kind! The staff is extremely professional, personable and was quick to answer my questions, requests and concerns thoroughly and in a timely manner throughout the 10 months I worked with them. Shortly after we locked in the venue I had the pleasure of working with a highly knowledgable site consultant, Stephanie, (an angel in disguise) whom assisted with many of the important details to accomodate not only me and my fiance, but also our guests. Stephanie helped me with airline options including an affiliate member discount program, all accomodations (from rental homes, boutique hotels, and 5 star resorts), transportation, and had referrals for activities. Best of all, her services were offered complimentary via the estate! Within just a couple of months of our initial contact, our flights, accomodations, transportation, and activities were booked for the bride and groom as well as each of our guests! The perfectionist that I am, I had plenty of questions, sometimes 3...4...5 times a day, and I was provided answers to each of them, and at many times direction from the LLP staff. There were a couple of bumps along the way (of course there was, this is a wedding we're in the midst of planning) and even when it was out of the hands of the LLP, they were more than accomodating in making sure my fiance and I were compensated for those mishaps.

Some of the negative reviews on this site I'm assuming are from brides that were not as involved in the wedding coordination as I was and/or did not not have an experienced coordinator that took care of all the fine details. I was involved 100% from day 1 up until the day of the wedding. I highly recommend researching wedding coordinators and ensuring you've hired only the best, as at the end of the day, they are the go to person that will ensure all your i's are dotted and t's are crossed and set the bride's mind at ease, fixing any bumps along the way.

The end result....we had the most amazing, romantic, fairytale wedding and reception at the LLP Estate and each of our guests were equally pleased! Everything went according to planned on our wedding day, which as any bride knows is a rarity!

Many thanks to the LLP staff for a dream come true!

When we needed a last minute change of venue, I found Loulu Palm online and luckily they were available for our wedding date. The pictures I saw on their website definitely sealed the deal. After changing our venure, I decided to get a planner, Veronica Peterson with Tropical Oasis, she lives in North Shore and was awesome in helping with everything we needed to make our big day a success. I have to say Veronica suggested vendors that were much less expense then the vendors suggested by Francesca (Loulu Palm staff member I was in contact with), so I definitely suggest you search around before going with Loulu Palm's suggestions. Francesca was extremely responsive whenever I contacted her, she would respond the same day or at the latest, the next day. The price they gave me for the venue was reduced since it was last minute which was really nice of them. The tent rental company they require you to use is pricey, though definitely supplied us with quality service and products. Our tent set up was simple, yet beautiful. The day of the wedding went wonderfully, everything they promised, they delivered. The site was even more beautiful then in the pictures. My only suggestion is that if you plan to have your ceremony on the beach like we did, I would not stand too close to the water, or else use a mic. Unfortunately, our guests had a hard time hearing what we said. Overall, a wonderful experience, I would suggest this venue site to others.

The estate is absolutely beautiful! You wont find a better location on the North Shore! We did not use their wedding planners, so I am unable to respond on that matter. However, using Oahu Wedding as our planner, our day truly was flawless.
The only reason that I docked a few points, was due to a communication issue that at the time was quite upsetting. From what I have learned they are relatively new to the wedding scene in Hawaii, and therefore they are still in the learning process. However, they correlated with our wedding planner and were VERY accommodating and willing to work with us. If you go in knowing that they are still under a learning curve you will not be disappointed. Also, I would advise getting a good wedding planner!
I was very pleased with the beauty of the location! We haven't received our professional photos yet; but looking at the photos some of our guests took, the location made for some amazing photo opportunities. I honestly have NOTHING bad to say about the day of the wedding! It was absolutely perfect!!
Thank you Loulu Palm Estate for a gorgeous day!!!

The quality of service I got from Scott Francis and Madeleine, the wedding planner at Loulu Palms was great! She was so helpful in calming my stress as we lived out of state and therefore depended on her to make the best recommendations - which she did. They have a system that worked for us. Due to the time difference, I'd email my questions at the end of my day and each morning i'd awake to find the answer in my email!

Loulu Palms is spacious, private, secured, with separate guest restrooms for men and women. (No porta potty's for my guests!) Our guests were able to walk the beach at sunset, the kids were ablt to run and play. it was so relaxing. We didn't want our reception to be uptight and stuffy, where you had to keep your shoes on and the kids simply were not able to have fun.

Mary catherine's bakery did our wedding cake. They were cost efficient and talented at decorating our cake. They took into consideration the outside temperature and recommended the best flavor, frosting, decoration.

Our WC worked very closely with us and stayed within our budget. She and Scott made suggestions regarding event and equipment rentals, helping us to stay within our budget.

Loulu Palms Estate is such a beautiful place! We felt like we were the only ones on the island.

The whole thing was SO nice. Jason and I left that night feeling like we had THE PERFECT wedding. I don't think many brides feel that way. We were so lucky and we have our WC and Scott Francis at Loulu Palms to thank for it.

The reception location was absolutely beautiful! All of our guests commented on how wonderful everything was.

Venue
Loulu Palms Estate is located in the North Shore of Oahu. This isolated, low key property makes it a great choice for weddings and other special events. We chose this location because of the simple amenities and beautiful landscape of the property and its surrounding. The GOBO lighting really brightened the grounds, especially during our wedding. They provided lights on the palms around the property. Loulu is set between the ocean and the mountains, providing great photo opportunities for everyone. We had 100 people for our wedding and still had a lot of space to fill. The property is spacious and beautiful from the entrance to the beach. It is a private estate, which helps create the ambiance. It was exactly what we envisioned!

The site was my first choice - I couldn't imagine a more perfect site for our wedding. It was exactly what I was looking for. I think they had just started to do wedding there when I asked about it. For that reason, I think we got a good deal on price. I had seen it on VRBO before they started advertising for weddings and was trying to figure out how to get in contact with the owners to ask if I could rent it out for a wedding reception when I somehow realized that they were starting to do weddings there. It was perfect timing. It was a little frustrating dealing with the coordination, etc - I think because the management was still learning, but the place is beautiful if you like outdoor weddings. Definitely recommended if you want a north shore wedding.

me and my groom just wanted to extend our great appreciation to kristina, for all your patience, grace, efforts in making our wedding day prefect. You found us the lovely place of Loulu Palm Estate, the best photographer, the most beautiful bouquet & boutonniere, the wonderful restaurant – Ola at Turtle Bay. With our lengthy communications back and forth from New York to Hawaii, you just made this mission impossible became possible, and you made our dream day perfect. Again, Eric and I wanted to say THANK YOU…

This venue is absolutely breathtaking. I booked this venue over a year and a half ago when they first started doing weddings. I was amazed with this venue and it was exactly what we wanted. The wedding day turned out perfect and everyone thought the venue was absolutely beautiful. The property management takes a little bit to get back to you on some things but overall it worked out. If you're looking for a venue that will "wow" your guests I highly recommend Loulu Palm Estate!

I would have given them all 5's, but we have some wedding planner problems in the beginning. Loulu Palms is paradise, the perfect place for the wedding of your dreams. If you choose this place for your wedding make sure you ask for Marina to be your planner!! She is amazing and it like have Jennifer Lopez from the 'Wedding Planner'. She made my wedding day unbelievable!!

Wow. I only wished that I saw all of these comments before I booked my wedding at Loulu Palm last year. ALL of the negative comments the other brides noted happened to me. The electricity blew out in the middle of the wedding, parking was a mess, the house is hot and rundown (with roaches!!) and the water pressure in the bathrooms was nonexistent. Imagine getting ready before your wedding with your family and bridesmaids in a old, hot, rundown house with no air conditioning. The owner was impossible to get in touch with prior to the date of the wedding and pushed vendors on me and kept giving me different stories as to when the wedding could end (and would you believe it, told me ON THE DAY OF MY WEDDING that it would have to end earlier, despite previous representations). Also, there are a number of people "working" for the company, so different people each tell you different things. What a headache.

Having said that, it is a beautiful venue, and since I had a number of out of town guests, they appreciated how beautiful it was and that it was on the beach. I'm sure they would have appreciated the venue more, had they known what I went through with the owner!!!

Hmmm...I wonder who the previous reviewer is who gave this place 5 stars in all categories...

I had my wedding here last summer, and the location was stunning. That said, dealing with the proprietor at Loulu was extremely frustrating. First of all, I had booked this location before it became popular, so I got a very good deal. Perhaps, as a result of getting a good deal, the proprietor proceeded to attempt to upsell me for any additional services he could think of, as well as push his preferred vendors on me. (All of his recommendations were expensive -- the wedding planner he recommended was cheesy and not experienced at all; and when we caved on using his tent rental company; they were more expensive, and arrived late on setting up the tent on my wedding day).

Second, the proprietor was very flaky and difficult to get a hold of. I am located in Los Angeles, and planned this wedding by email and phone. When I called him, he rarely picked up. When I gave him months of advance warning on my rehearsal wedding date, he double booked it; and as a result, I had to have my rehearsal dinner days before the wedding.

To me, the worst offense was that when I told him I was renting a dole whip machine, which would require specific electrical requirements (which I gave him), he assured me the Estate could handle it. Unfortunately, it could not; and during dinner, the power alternated from being on for a few moments, then blowing out, leaving my guests in the dark. We had to unplug the machine for most of the night so that the power could sustain itself, but having spent several hundreds of dollars on the machine, only to not be able to use it, was extremely disappointing.

When I told him this would be a sunset wedding, he said we could set it up however we wanted, and that we could party all night if we wanted to because his neighbors didn't care. Days before the wedding, he informed us that we would have to stop the reception at 10pm, and that we could not set up chairs in a particular section of the property.

Despite what I've written above, my wedding was wonderful. The setting was gorgeous, and with the help of my family and friends, we worked around the proprietor's flakiness and misrepresentations, and in the end, I had an unforgettable wedding. Everyone loved the setting -- it was huge, open, and my sunset ceremony on the beach was stunning.

Just be warned that dealing with this guy was a headache that I'm sure most brides don't want to have to deal with.

I had my wedding at Loulu Palm Estate in May 2010. It is a very beatiful property but If I had to do it again I wouldnt. There is zero air conditioning in the house, waiting and changing in the in a wedding dress was very uncomfortable, it was hot I was sweating my $100 makeup application was ruined . There were young children that live at the house running everywhere, leaving their flip flops for us to pick up. They even decided to have a little birthday party under the $1500 tent I rented complete with confetti and bubble gum wrappers. The owners ignored my request for the mess to be cleaned up. Pretty tacky next to my dance floor! I was also disappointed to see the landscapers cutting the grass after all of our tables had been setup. Dirt flew on one of my tables and i had terrible allergies the rest of the day. The location was very remote which is fine but I felt like we were in a jungle. Hundreds of flies swarmed our buffet. It was so gross and embarrassing! Then when we cut the wedding cake hundreds of mosquitos came and we were trying to smack them off of us the whole time. An overpriced, beautiful, disaster is what you'll find at the Loulu Palm Estate.

We are always pleased to work with the staff at Loulu Palms Estate. They are professional and have the most Aloha for all of their clients and it is such a beautiful setting and just a picture perfect venue for your Hawaii Wedding.

Loulu Palm's is one of a kind. Seriously one of the most gorgeous wedding sites any where in the world.
I love doing weddings here and all of my clients have always been thrilled as well.

One of the most romantic and beautiful beach venues for a wedding.

Loulu Palm is your premier wedding venue located in the North Shore. The large amount of land, along with the beach and sand, is a great canvas to create a magical and memorable wedding.

A gem of a find. Hawaii in every sense of the word.

Loulu Palm is the absolute crown jewel for a large outdoor event by the beach. The misnomer people have is that they say they want to get married, "on the beach", but a grass lawn right beside the beach is the most ideal setting. No sand makes for a comfortable layout, and the beach in the background provides for stunning views and time to romp later there for photos and video. With the luxury of over 3 acres, you can set up tents as well as other separate areas for whatever the mind can envision. Truly a magical place.

What's better than a gorgeous wedding on the beach? The north shore is a perfect location be it a local or destination wedding for you and your guests! Don't forget the poi!
