It was indeed magical and the Disney fairytale wedding of our dreams!

We are so happy that we chose Disney Aulani Resort to have our wedding. We both love Disney, and having our wedding at this resort has made our Disney experiences even more memorable. Our wedding was an evening ceremony in January 2024 at the Laniwai Spa. This is a lovely, enchanting and private outdoor venue made unique for each ceremony with perfect lighting and beautiful decorations of your choice. We decided after much thought that an intimate elopement would be perfect for us.

Our coordinator Kim Ross was amazing! She took care of all of our concerns during the planning process and stayed with us throughout the ceremony making sure it went smoothly. Aulani makes the planning process very simple! They have several venues to choose from. Kim helped us get in touch with the vendors they use and/or recommend for the various services. We were able to choose our specific ceremony type, music, decorations, flowers, leis, cake, and hair and makeup services. Kim coordinated our photographer, videographer, dining reservations, and wedding timeline for the day as well as taking care of the wedding license. This was a huge help to us and made the day as stress free as possible. We have to give a shout out to Randy our musician and Kimo our officiant! The atmosphere they created made us so comfortable and able to enjoy and cherish our ceremony. We are so so happy with how our wedding turned out and thoroughly enjoyed meeting and working with the vendors for our various services. They are truly professionals are we were blown away by their work! We cannot say enough how happy and thankful we are for how everything turned out. We are already planning to return for anniversary trips as we love everything about the resort! We had very good experiences at the beach, the pools and every restaurant. Our room was lovely and all the staff are extremely kind and accommodating. Disney Aulani is highly recommended for your wedding or stay!

Our Disney Aulani Wedding

Working with Disney's Fairytale Weddings at the Aulani Resort & Spa was beyond what we could have imagined it to be. This was our first wedding, so we had no idea what to expect but our wedding planner (Kim Ross) helped us in every way possible to give us the best experience. She was incredible to work with, from the quick response times, to the monthly Zoom meetings (since we weren't local), to the day we arrived on the island for our wedding weekend festivities; it was truly a smooth wedding planning process for us. If you are thinking about having a Disney wedding or a Hawaii wedding, definitely check out Aulani Resort & Spa! Their Fairytale Weddings team (services, communication, attention to detail, knowledge, contacts with vendors, etc.) to the Aulani resort itself (views, experiences (luau), rooms/villas, atmosphere, etc.) were tremendous and we have zero complaints. So many of our wedding guests said, "This wedding was a movie." or "This was the best wedding I have been too." This brought us joy and happiness, all thanks to Kim and all of her hard work! We can't truly thank her and everyone enough for bringing our fairytale wedding to life!! This was a milestone moment, that we will remember for the rest of our lives!!
