Experience with / Insight on Aulani Weddings

[fieryredsam]

Hey, Dis-Brides! FH and I are looking into a very small destination wedding with Aulani in Hawaii. Our wedding isn't until June 2016 so I know we can't get much info from DFTW, but I've gotten a lot of info off of their website.
Are there any people on here that have held/planned/attended weddings in Aulani that could share their experience and/or give some insight to the process? If you've got photos that'd be great too!

Welcome! We had an elopement-style vow renewal at Aulani last year. (DFTW treats weddings and vow renewals interchangeably). The package we used is what they now call the Escape Collection, which you probably saw on the official site.

I have a TON of Aulani wedding planning information in my Planning Journal, and you can read an exhaustively detailed report of our elopement day HERE.

You might also be interested in the rest of my Aulani trip report, which includes a mini travel guide on getting there, getting around Oahu, places to see and eat, etc.

Let me know if I can answer any questions!
