The Wedding Dinner Reception
There are many great restaurants in Waikiki that can arrange a dinner reception for you. We’ve listed below a few of our favorites. Generally we book and arrange private tables and menu's for you once you have chosen your venue.
Aaron’s atop the Ala Moana
Aaron's atop the Ala Moana (formerly Nicholas Nickolas) celebrated its grand re-opening in late 1999 with a completely new look, ambiance and enhanced menu.
Guests are now treated to a new dining experience that is fresh, fun and exciting, yet includes all the elements Nicholas Nickolas was so well known for such as award-winning cuisine, first-class service and breathtaking views.
Aaron's new interior sparkles with cool ocean colors of blues, greens and copper conveying a feeling of classic Mediterranean.
The incorporation of contemporary components such as jewel-tone glass mosaics, electric fabrics and warm cherry wood accents throughout the restaurant, creates a vibrant, warm, and cutting-edge ambiance.
