So yay, thanks mainly to all you wonderful ladies' recommendations (and photos!), I booked KathE Garcia as my WC and have decided on Lanikuhonua -- it's soo beautiful! Smile  I do have a question for all of you (this applies to non-Lani brides as well)... did you negotiate with your venue?  I think if it was a hotel or something I wouldn't hesitate, but now I'm not sure.  I don't want to offend anyone and have to search for a new location, as I've got my heart set on it... What do you think?

We asked this when we did our pre-planning visit, we were advised the rates were "as is" and not negotiable so to be fair to everyone.

Yeah I would say unless you know someone who works through Lanikuhonua it would be tough to negotiate with them.
