Thank you letter from Destination Wedding Party

It is always a great feeling to get a thank you card from guests that appreciate what we do.  Kirstina started to coordinate her details with us 10 months out from her wedding. She wanted to have a beach wedding followed by a wedding reception with a place that had a view.

They started there party a little before sunset and as each guest arrived she greeted them a purple orchid lei. As Kristina & Ignacio had an intimate size to their party, she chose to have 4 round tables with 8 guests on each table.  Kristina had many different touches to make her special day a little more special including white chair covers with lavender and tangerine sashes to accent her color theme. 

The bride and groom hosted a open bar along with pupus:

  • Caprese Crostinis
  • Hawaiian Style Crispy Garlic Chicken
  • Coconut Shrimp 
  • Kaula Pig Quesadillas 

Then for dinner they offered the O'ahu Buffet:

  • Fresh Fruit Platter Island Tropical & Other Fruit
  • Island Taro Rolls Banana Vanilla Butter
  • Oriental Chicken Chop Salad Chicken Breast, Crispy Won Tons, Sesame Dressing
  • Pineapple Fried Rice
  • Garlic Basil Mashed Potatoes
  • Asian Stir-Fry Vegetables
  • Orange Togarashi Glazed Salmon Balsamic Glaze
  • Nalo Farms Basil & Mac Nut Shrimp Pasta Orecchiette Pasta, 
  • Parmesan Chicken Rosemary Sundried Tomato Chardonnay Sauce
  • Hoisin Grilled Boneless Short Ribs Fork Tender Beef, Demi Glaze
  • Dessert: Lilikoi Cheesecake Graham Cracker Crust, Tropical Fruit

They also brought in a beautiful custom wedding cake.

“Having traveled to Hawaii only once, I was nevertheless able to sample a number of restaurant/bar venues throughout Honolulu. That said, one of my very favorites was the Tiki Bar and Grill. Located on the upper level, the views were fantastic! The food (especially the Macadamia Nut Encrusted Mahi Mahi makes my mouth water even today) was elegantly and expertly prepared.

The lounge area was comfortable and fun. This was my daughter's wedding dinner which was planned from 4000 miles away and I wasn't sure what to expect. Why did I even worry! Mike and his staff were amazing which resulted in a perfect evening of celebration. All details were covered. Well organized, the entire event was flawless due to the expertise and professionalism of Mike and his team. Even today, I remain on the mailing list because someday I'll go back to Hawaii and my first stop will be to say hello to Mike and the Tiki Bar and Grill. You should too - especially if you're planning a night to remember.”

Big Mahalo to Mike Talor and his family for the very nice comments and hosting their party at Tiki's Grill & Bar.

Dream Destination Wedding Thank you card.

Michael, Tiare &  the Tiki's Event Team got this wonderful handwritten thank you note from Josh & Annalise.  The Seattle couple had planned their dream destination wedding back in February. Having a intimate wedding reception of 25 guests, on the Ocean Room Lanai.

For this setup Tiki's closed the Ocean Room lanai doors and built a long table, allowing space on the ocean side of the lanai for two cocktail tables for relaxing before sitting down for dinner.  We set the dinner table with white linen and the bride bought in her own custom color table runner and napkins. Glass vases filled with sand, shells, and a candle also decorated the wedding party's table.

They choose these items from the Grand Tiki Buffet:  Kohala Mountain Green Salad, Fried Rice, Mixed Steamed Vegetables, Mac Nut Crusted Mahimahi, Shrimp Penne Pasta and Guava Glazed BBQ Ribs.
