A nice place for an event venue. Good views on the outside and nice appearance on the inside. Food is decent. Service is good.

Beautiful wedding venue! I knew I wanted to get married on the windward side because of the beautiful natural scenery and cooler, breezy weather. I had another venue in mind but after a horrible experience with our scheduled venue tour (we got ghosted), we decided to go with Koʻolau Ballrooms. The main reason they weren't our first choice is because we were concerned about the accessibility for some of our guests but it ended up working out well. Food was alright--typical banquet food. Everyone said that they loved the cake! (we went with guava)If you are prone to overheating like me, I would plan to have a decorative fan with you at your reception table. Though the AC was on, my partner and I were definitely sweating in our wedding day attire. Suits and wedding dresses aren't the most breathable and we were walking around quite a bit (greeting guests, doing table touches, etc.). At one point, it felt more comfortable to be outside on the lanai because of the breeze.I also thought it was odd that they couldn't confirm our wedding rehearsal date or reserve the getting ready room for us until a couple weeks before our wedding day, despite us having our wedding date confirmed and paying our deposit in full almost a year in advance. Though I'm glad I got ready in a hotel room (AC was much cooler which helped with the heat of hair styling tools), not having confirmation that close to our wedding day made me feel a bit concerned.Lots of parking, though it does share a lot with hikers and the church next door.

Its like communing your thoughts with nature. The so many times i had been to this place makes me so grateful i live in Hawaii. The food, service and Aloha is always at its finest.

Would have given this place five stars. I had my quincenera here 15 years ago and I came back for my cousin's quincenera and I was sweating the entire time. How uncomfortable. I couldn't even enjoy myself because I was so hot. I asked the server of they could somehow turn on the ac and she stated, "Don't you think we complain about that?" I rest my case. I am shopping around for a wedding venue and would love to have it here. BUT not if I'll be sweating my entire wedding. No thank you.

I had the most beautiful wedding here. Everyone working the day of my wedding was so amazing and everyone keeps telling us we had the most beautiful, chill and fun wedding ever. They recommend DJ Kevo as Emcee and he was the life of the party. There was no dull moment the whole night. The view was absolutely stunning and food was delicious. I am so glad I chose Ko’olau Ballrooms to celebrate my wedding. (Picture is a selfie Kevo took with us)
Attended my nephew's beautiful wedding. The food was delicious. ? Infact, this was a fairytale affair.

This place never disappoint with the view and the food. It's not the very best food but it's very good. Surely a perfect place to celebrate a special day.

Thank you Kylie for helping to make our dreams come true! From the beginning, we envisioned a location that was surrounded by beautiful nature, place-based (having been born and raised in the Ko'olauloa area), and family friendly. Kylie was the first smiling face we met and she helped us every step along the way. She answered questions promptly and professionally, took the time to get to know us and our families, and truly made the wedding complete.I have already recommended Ko'olau Ballrooms & Conference Center to several friends who are looking for venues (from weddings to graduation parties to baby lu'au). This location is the perfect setting for a wide range of events. One of my favorite memories from our wedding (a few days ago) was seeing the pure joy on the faces of our parents and loved ones...and of course ours! The happiness we felt was genuine and a reflection of our experience with Kylie and Ko'olau Ballrooms & Conference Center. Mahalo nui and hope to see you again soon!
