The JW Marriott Ihilani is under major renovation. One of my favorite wedding locations located behind the JW Marriott is temporarily closed.

Every year since I’ve been in business I’ve always gotten a boatload of inquiries in the days and weeks following Christmas and New Years. I have no scientific proof of why this rare phenomenon occurs, but I truly believe it has to do something the smell of Christmas trees, baked […]
