Ko'olau Ballrooms & Conference Center

As a local wedding photographer, I love shooting at Ko'Olau Ballroom where a wedding couple and their guests can enjoy the beautiful mountain backdrop during their ceremony and cocktail hour! The outdoor ceremony at 10th tee has a great view of Ko'Olau mountain range. After the ceremony, a staff member can take us on a golf cart to photogenic spots for newly weds photos when requested. The ballroom is large enought to host a large party with a large number of guest counts, and their food is very delicous. The high ceiling of the ballroom make great reception photos! I highly recommend this venue for any mountain lovers and those who are looking for nature and comfortable indoor party afterwards.

We recently shot a wedding at Ko'olau Ballrooms. In our experience as wedding photographers, this was a gorgeous place to have a wedding. There are indoor and outdoor options for ceremonies and the Glass ballroom is gorgeous! We also enjoyed capturing portraits around the golf course. This venue is highly recommended!

We hosted our wedding at the Ko'olau Ballroom on 2/18/23. Our wedding was in the ballroom. We couldn't ask for a better venue! All of our out-of-town guests were so impressed by the majestic mountains and how beautiful the venue was. This was the first wedding venue we visited in 2022 and we decided this was the one! The weather was playing games with us on our big day, but the sun came out right on time. We worked with Jamie (Event services Manager) throughout the year to coordinate the details. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. On the big day, there was plenty of wait staffs for all of our guests. They were efficiency and professional. My family are big food critics, and they all were happy with the food. The cake (lilikoi) was spectacular with just the right amount of sweetness. The venue is big, private and plenty of parking! It was a nice to get away from the hustle and bustle in Waikiki. We are just so happy to host our wedding at the Ko'olau Ballroom and create these everlasting memories. The wedding was perfect, and everything went so smoothly. Thanks again!

Beautiful venue! I recently came for my cousin’s wedding and with so many relatives coming from all over the world, the venue provided excellent views & photo ops

Beware! You have to park in golf course parking lot to hike to waterfall and they charge $15!!! What a ripoff!! Also, the parking attendant was extremely rude and insulted me because I was confused that I had to park here in order to hike to waterfall, he asked for my driver license to park!!! I was surprised that he asked me about DL, so then he just started insulting me more and told me he isn’t going to let me park there!

Beautiful grounds. The ballroom is magnificent. Everything about this place was perfect...

We were supposed to get married here in 2020 May. Then Covid hit and shut everything down. We went and rebooked for 2021 but there was still no gatherings allowed. So at that point I emailed to ask if we could cancel and have a refund do to not knowing exactly when weddings could get back to normal. At the time the manager emailed and said everyone one was laid off for now, but he would look into getting a refund to us. We never heard back from them. Even after things started to open up, they never called to follow up on our wedding or cancellation. They kept our deposit, it’s now 2024. I really think they should have followed up with all their bookings during Covid. We will never get that money back.

Nestled on conservation land at the foot of the Ko‘olau Mountains, Ko‘olau Ballrooms has the most spectacular view of any venue on O‘ahu
