Does anyone have any advice or reviews on planning a luau rehearsal dinner? wondering how it might work for 20 some people... Thanks!!!

We didn't have the luau for the rehearsal, but we still sent our families while we were having some vendor meetings. If you call ahead to reserve, they will set aside a table for you so you can all sit together. It's a fun activity, but you might find it hard to find a consistent quiet time for things like toasts or thanking your families. However, there's usually food time well before performance time so if you front-loaded those activities, you could be fine.

At the luau that we went to (at the Wailea Marriott) there was a good 2 hours between the time that doors opened and when the show started.

We're not technically having a rehearsal, but are hosting a luau get-togehter the night before the wedding at the Old Lahaina Luau. If you have a party of 15 or more you have to call for reservations. We are staying in West Maui and I checked out the reviews for a few of the luaus on tripadvisor any yelp and picked this one based on what I thought was the best fit for us. It is just under $100/person and includes dinner (buffet), unlimited drinks (with and without alcohol), and the show (no fire dancers though, which was fine with us). My FI made the reservation so I don't know all of the details, but I believe he said it was assigned seating and the sooner you book the better seats you will get. They have table seating and mat seating which is a little clloser to the stage. I heard the view there is also really nice.

Some of the others I had read about in West Maui were The Feast at Lele, Drums of the Pacific Luau, and Royal Lahaina Luau. And I heard of the one at the Grand Wailea and Wailea Marriott in South Maui. Good luck!

I think it's a great idea (we did one as a post-wedding activity with the Old Lahaina Luau). As long as you're doing it less to focus on speeches and toasts, it's a fun option. I think we had about 5 minutes with our guests when we managed to get everyone sitting in their seats so we could say a few things, so as long as you're not hoping for more than that, go wild, I sez.
