If you’ve been dreaming of having a destination wedding, but you’re not sure of the location or the venue, look into Manoa Grand Ballroom. Located in the lush and beautiful Manoa Valley of Honolulu, Hawaii, this catering hall is a picturesque, romantic, and simply magical spot for your special day. It’s been family-owned and operated for five generations, and they go above and beyond to make your wedding everything you’ve dreamed of and more.

Even with the best wedding venue, planning a destination wedding can be overwhelming. If you’re starting to work out the logistics, here are some tips from the experts:

• Learn About The Area: Honolulu is a big city, and if you’ve never been there, it will be helpful to reach out to a local or do some research about the neighborhoods, cuisine, and culture. You’ll need to also explore different lodging options for your wedding party and guests.

• Look At Flights: Once you have your destination in mind, start looking at flight options to make sure your family and friends can get there in a reasonable amount of time and for a price they can afford. Pay close attention to flights’ arrival times. Most people will only be able to come for the weekend, so if flights leaving Friday don’t arrive until Saturday morning, that may make things difficult for your guests. Luckily, there are many daily flights from all over the United States to the Honolulu International Airport, so the Manoa Grand Ballroom is a great choice for a wedding venue.

• Research The Weather: Research the year-round weather at your destination. Most tropical climates have a rainy season and a dry season. Look at the average temperature and precipitation for different times of year before choosing a date. In Hawaii, the dry season usually lasts from April through October.

Planning can be stressful, but the staff at Manoa Grand Ballroom aim to make it easy and stress-free. To turn your dream destination wedding into a reality, call the ballroom today at (808) 946-6758.
