Important things to consider

As the Haiku Mill venue offers small block time for planning a wedding that is smaller, usually with less than eighty guests, you don’t have to rent it for the full day. Couples who want to take advantage of this small Hawaiian wedding option can rent the venue for only a few hours to host the ceremony and take photos.

The Haiku Mill venue works with a list of professional and trusted preferred vendors who have experience working on-site and understand the delicate nature of this property. Because of this, the venue does not allow a vendor per event that is not on the preferred vendor list.

Before working, a vendor must provide all of the necessary insurance requirements and be approved by the club. Though, any vendors that are considered rigging and draping, caterers, lighting, wedding planner, coordinators, DJ services, wedding photography, bar services, washroom providers, transportation, tent providers, and valet cannot come in as unauthorized professionals.
