Oahu Wedding *2012*

Hi my name is Krissy and just got engaged on New Years Eve!  We have decided we want a smaller wedding and have decided to get married in Oahu either September or October 2012. Has anybody heard anything about weddings at the Turtle Bay Resort? This is our first pick for venue, but I know it is far from anything else on the island.

    Congratulations and welcome to the boards! I don't know too much about the turtle bay resort other than that it's beautiful and there's a dolphin experience! I believe it's a 45 minute drive to get to the other side of the island so I wouldn't be too worried about how far it is - your guests can totally take day trips. I think the only thing that turned us off from turtle bay was the cost of the hotel for our guests so we decided on staying in waikiki so there were lots of hotel options. But I've also learned of vrbo.com that can help with house rentals.

    Good morning! Turtle Bay is beautiful! It is secluded and they do wonderful weddings there- I agree with Tin2CA- the price of a standard room is high where Waikiki hotels are much more reasonable- best thing you can do at this point is email away! Email as many hotels/vendors as you can and start thinking about what you want- =)

    I've heard mixed things about the resort itself - when I was looking  into staying there this summer, I was told by someone over on the HI nest board that the rooms were a little dated (which apparently was better than it was before).

    Welcome to the board!

    My fiance and I picked Turtle Bay resort to have our wedding. We told the caterer our date March 2nd and she said it was open. We told her we wanted it and wanted to book it immediately but we had a few questions reguarding indoor/outdoor policies and how much the down payment to hold the date was. She got back to me 3 weeks later with the incoorrect date after I called at least 2 times with no return call and 2 emails.She then told me that our actual date was booked. We then gave her a new date and I still have yet to hear from her.  She already wasted 3 weeks of our time and I feel as though we are going back to square one( like the previous poster.)  If you haven't made any plans with them yet..... I would go elsewhere.
