Testimonials

A Dream Wedding at Coconut Grove

Our wedding at Fairmont Orchid, specifically at Coconut Grove on the beach, was an absolute dream come true, thanks to the exceptional efforts of Aria and the entire team at the resort. Since childhood, I had envisioned exchanging vows on a picturesque Hawaiian beach, and Fairmont Orchid exceeded every expectation, making my childhood dream a breathtaking reality.

From the moment we began planning, Aria demonstrated an unparalleled level of dedication and expertise, seamlessly managing all aspects of the event, including vendor contracts and billing. Her meticulous attention to detail and unwavering support made the entire wedding planning process remarkably stress-free, allowing us to focus on savoring every moment of our special day. I wholeheartedly recommend Fairmont Orchid to couples seeking a dream wedding destination. 

Exceptional Planning Support

I had the pleasure of speaking with Yvette recently to discuss a potential wedding arrangement at the Orchid. Yvette came to our discussion very well prepared and very thorough and patient for every question I had.  She delivered detailed proposal shortly following our discussion. It is a great pleasure to have her support the logistics of our wedding and I look forward to continuing to work with her.

Spectacular Hotel

We had arranged in advance to get married using the elopement package at the hotel and everything was perfect thanks to Aria our wedding coordinator at the hotel. We can’t thank her enough she is AMAZING! We chose the Coconut grove beach location for our wedding and it was beautiful . The hotel and grounds are lovely and we were upgraded to Fairmont gold room which I would definitely book next time we visit. The complimentary breakfast and hors d’oeuvres as well as personal concierge made everything that much easier. The staff are the hotel were all friendly and helpful. Food in all restaurants was delicious and especially Brown’s beach house where we had dinner after our wedding ceremony.  Thank you to everyone for making our wedding and honeymoon just perfect!
