Hi! In case you have any questions, I just started a new thread here: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/85106/turtle-bay-resort-brides-post-here. I got married in Santa Barbara in 2011, but I took a site tour at Turtle Bay and met with their wedding coordinator. Turtle Bay is GORGEOUS and I can't wait to get back there soon!

Hi BDW Brides! I just got back from a lovely vacation at Turtle Bay Resort and thought I should start a thread for all of our Turtle Bay brides! If you are thinking about getting married in Hawaii, Turtle Bay Resort will not disappoint! The resort is on a tip of land so EVERY single room has an ocean view. Our room overlooked the pool on the west side of the resort. They are currently going through a remodel (which wasn't a problem at all during our visit) and all of the rooms should be complete by Spring this year! I was lucky enough to meet with Pura who took me on a tour and showed me every single ceremony and reception location on site. They are more than happy to work with every couple, learn their budget, and choose the best spot for them. Locations include: Kuilima Cove and Point, Kahuku Terrace, The Wedding Chapel, the Stables Lawn and Beach, and the 18th tee. While walking around, I thought it would be a hard choice for brides because each location is unique but just as beautiful as the next. Special Note: Turtle Bay Resort is the ONLY resort in Hawaii that was granted permission from the Department of Land and Natural Resources to service beach weddings decorated with arches and chairs. Click here for more information on their packages and to download their wedding kit. I'll be writing a full review on their resort page soon including information about their beaches, food and more, but please reply to this thread if you have any questions! Who is getting married at Turtle Bay? Let's hear from you My pictures don't do the resort justice, but here are a couple more: The beach at the 18th tee, with Turtle Bay in the background. You can't beat their beautiful sunsets!!

I have to agree with Wedding Cancun and mandjphoto. Le Reve is a beautiful boutique hotel with 25 rooms. I was lucky enough to visit Le Reve in December and thoroughly enjoyed my time there! Here is a picture I took while enjoying lunch by the pool: If you are looking for an intimate setting, this is the place to go. The wedding coordinator, Arlenis, told me how a lot of their brides/grooms book the entire hotel which makes the wedding week/weekend even more special as all of your loved ones are in one location. Le Reve is a BDW sponsor and you can find out more about their hotel and view images from past weddings HERE. Good luck with your wedding planning process and let us know what you decide!!

We were lucky enough to go to Bora Bora on our honeymoon! We stayed at the Le Meridien....so beautiful! I would LOVE to be there right now!! While on our honeymoon we saw a wedding take place on the beach. The bride actually arrived by water; she was in a small canoe that took off from her overwater bungalow. It was an intimate wedding with just a few guests. I would definitely recommend Bora Bora as a wedding or honeymoon spot! You can't beat that amazing turquoise water! Take me back!!

Hello beautiful brides-to-be! I'll be heading to Turtle Bay Resort in a few weeks and will be meeting with the wedding coordinators to learn about their packages and take a tour of the ceremony and reception locations. Any brides out there planning an Oahu wedding? Where are you getting married? Let me know if I can help!

I'll be heading to Turtle Bay Resort in a few weeks! I'm going to meet with their wedding coordinators and check out the ceremony locations while I'm there. Let me know if there is anything you'd like me to ask them and I'll be sure to take some pictures and post them on BDW once I return

This is such a great idea! I can't wait to see who wins
