wedding ceremony and reception site:

lanikuhonua, phase II | ko'olina, hawaii
After months and months of searching wedding sites, we finally stumbled across Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute.  It was exactly what we were looking for at the right  price.  It was priority for us to have our wedding and reception outdoors and oceanfront.  We also were not interested in having a Waikiki hotel wedding. We will be expecting 50-60 out of town guests that will all be traveling from the Los Angeles area.  We want our wedding to have a very Hawaiian feel and be like no other wedding they have attended in L.A.   

phase 1 versus phase 2?
We chose phase 2 over phase 1 mainly because of the ceremony site location.  We really like the view near the wall,  and wanted this area for our ceremony because it was closer the the beach.
