Kapila Gardens - Waianae, Hawaii

Beautiful property in the valley. Nice views of Mt Ka'ala and the whole Waianae range. The property is abundant in fruit trees and flowers, very nice setting. The owner Jason is great and helps in any way he can.

Beautiful location, very quiet, secluded, & well manicured. Jason, the owner, is very responsive, he answered all of our questions and was helpful as needed. One thing we didn’t love was that after we had established our contract & paid our security deposit, while double checking with him closer to the wedding date, we were told that one of the packages changed & increased our price by $300. We paid it, however, when we decided that we didn’t want that part of the package any longer, Jason was helpful in assisting us with our refund. So just prepare for the possibility of last minute additions/changes on the venues part if you are also going to want that flexibility in return. Additionally, we had 35 guest + 5 people as vendors in attendance & parking was tough to maneuver. The drive way is super tight and made everyone a bit nervous once the parking lot started to fill up with cars. Overall, we really loved the venue and the beautiful greenery/mountain background for our wedding. We will definitely be recommending for others to use for their event in the future.

On a last minute change my niece changed her venue from Palehua Gardens to Kapila Gardens. It's a lush garden setting in Waimea Valley Road, a dry area. Upon entering this place out looks like your in Kaneohe! They must spend tons on their water bill.
Beautiful setting, kind is dated, but unique! The wedding was beautiful we all enjoyed the evening, except for one major problem!! no flushing toilet..like ahh more of a compost kind of thing. Oh well.. that's probably why the place is so lush!$#%^

I have had the pleasure twice now of using this beautiful space! Both times using the photographer and horses offered by Jason and his family. If you want to experience the true spirit of Aloha look no further. They make you feel at home. Not only are the grounds beautifully kept, but the views of the mountains are unparalleled! I will forever be grateful for the experience they provided for myself, my friends and my family. I will continue to spread to word to my friends on island and off island. Definitely a beautiful place for any event from a wedding to birthday party!

Mahalo Kapila Gardens!

Beautiful view, perfect place to have your special day, be it your wedding, birthday, or a family get-together! Lots of space, the owner Jason is SO nice and helpful, and his family is so nice and friendly and super enthusiastic about helping out and full of information.

Highly recommend ❤️

UPDATE: This is my original review: My husband and I just celebrated our wedding there and HANDS DOWN to Jason and his whole crew! He and his family are such a great people to work with. Jason really listened to every single request we had, he even built a fence in less than two weeks from our wedding because I told him I didnt like it much without it! The scenery is GORGEOUS!!! Mountains that look unreal, lots of plants and space. His family is so so gorgeous and willing to help in everything that we needed too. I 10000% recommend this place over any of those overpriced places owned by rich people that truly don’t care at all about your special day. Thanks so much Jason and family for all your help and hospitality!!!🙏🏼❤️

This is my Updated review: I still would recommend Jason’s place to do your wedding but DO NOT HIRE THEM FOR PHOTOS! We went with the package that he offered us without even seeing any of their work as photographers, pretty much trusting that if we spend more than $2000 for the photos, we would get quality profesional pictures that we would be able to print. The truth is that for the price we spent, we could have gotten actual professional pictures instead of what we got. Any of the pictures that were made by our family members were 10 times better than any of the pictures Jason’s team took. He gave us different pictures to choose from and most of them were just simply horrible, with him or his team members in them. The photographer didn’t take one single moment to orientate us and tell us when to get together so now we have really no good pictures of our wedding that we even want to share with anybody. It is very sad because we put a lot of time, effort and money and we cannot go back in time to enjoy the result of them. Once again, the place is good but GET YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHER!

Had our large 250+ Wedding at Kapila gardens and couldn't be happier with how beautiful and well maintained the grounds were. Jason made sure everything went smoothly and was very responsive with all communications. They were the best priced for this size of a venue. I would definitely recommend Kapila Gardens for your event. Thank you again Jason. 🙂

My first glamping experience and it was amazing, the tent and bird are super comfortable and the price is really affordable , the best part is being so close to nature and experiencing Hawaii the real way.

The hosts are warm and really knowledgeable about the places around. Highly recommended!!!
