I had my destination wedding a little over a month ago at Kukua Beach Club and it was beyond perfect. The staff was very professional and catered to our every needs. The food and drinks were AMAZING!!! And most importantly, the décor was outstanding, Mayte (wedding planner) knows what she's doing. Whether you have a small group or large one, the Kukua team will make your dream wedding come to life. They offer so many décor options to make every wedding unique and in your own style. What I liked most about this venue is that they offered it all (flowers, DJ, food, etc) without having to deal with other vendors. I really loved it here and was so happy we chose this place. I couldn't of asked for a better venue and will definitely recommend it. As for hair and makeup I hired Anna Nuet, and her team was AMAZING as well and very affordable. Photography was done by Love & Sea and they made us feel comfortable and did a great job with the photos and video.

There is simply no better place to have the wedding of your dreams! “Enchanting” and “magical are the words that come to mind when I think of my wedding that took place last month. Mayte and Rachel make an incredible team and every single detail surpassed our expectations! The decor, DJ, food, service, and atmosphere were all PERFECT. The Kukua family doesn’t sell you a dream, they create it.

Full review: Kukua Any couple, considering or planning your wedding at Kukua, you are in for an mind blowing adventure. My wife and I, wedding was Friday, Oct 9, 2920 our wedding was beyond phenomenal🤩💕. Photos do not do any justice for our wedding and our wedding pictures are jaw dropping 😲😲. My wedding planning started with working with Rachel, who I absolutely love, she is a amazing. Rachel, always took the time to listen to me and give me genuine advice. Rachel, is so passionate about what she does. Working with Rachel, felt like I was working with someone that I have knew all my life. Rachel, does not look at this as a job, but as a passion, and she really cares about all the brides she works with. Many times I will call would call/message Rachel, because of issues I was going through with wedding planning and by the time we ended the phone call/text thread I was at ease. I knew Kukua was the wedding venue for my wife and I, when I asked Rachel does Kukua do same-sex marriages and her reply was "Love Is Love and we welcome all types of love." I have ZERO complaints. The anything I wish the venue would invest is another area that as AC besides to bridal site, for the other mate to get ready in. Not one thing went wrong on our wedding day, our wedding started on time, and I guest were amazed by everything. Mayte, is heaven sent, she is a angle, and her energy is amazing. Mayte, really treats your wedding like its her own. The Kukua staff ensures every intricate detail is in place. Everything Rachel and I, spoke about, was given to Mayte and she worked her amazing skills to my our wedding day a there and more. If you chose Kukua, you will not be disappointed at all. Everyone at Kukua is so welcoming. I chose an amazing venue and was not disappointed. The food, cake, and drinks were amazing. It has almost been a month and am still flooding on cloud 9. I only took a banner, polarola camera, and our guest book to Kukua, everything else was provided by Kukua. Rachel, is always a quick email/text away, and her response time is amazing. I am a very detailed and picky person, and my total vision was NAILED. When you do your wedding outline with Rachel, your whole vision comes life, right before your eyes. Here are some photos from our day. If you have any questions please feel free to ask💖💖 Kendra

Where to begin… Well I am just slightly late in writing this review - lol. My husband and I got married at Kukua on January 28, 2020. However, our original wedding date was suppose to be November 25, 2019. Due to the tragic and unexpected loss of one of our closest friends, who was in our wedding party, we decided to reschedule. I will never forget the day that I called Rachel to ask her what our options were for rescheduling. I was fighting back tears, trying desperately to hold it together. From the moment she picked up the phone I knew that I no longer needed to worry. That I could focus on mourning the loss of my friend and she would take care of the rest. Rachel reached out to all our other vendors to let them know what was going on. When we finally decided on a new date, she reached out to them all again to make sure the new date worked for everyone. I felt like such a weight was lifted off me. It was devasting having to reschedule our wedding. There were days when I felt like not only had I lost one of my best friends but that I had also lost my wedding. Rachel was there, no matter what. She reminded me time and time again that our special day would come, and that when it did it would still be perfect. When it came time to submit my final wedding outline I felt so withdrawn and defeated. I felt like there was no way our day could be special without him there. She completed my outline for me while we talked on the phone about what I wanted. There were so many moments leading up to our wedding where I felt like know one understood me but Rachel. Kukua is beyond breathtaking. From the moment I saw a video on Facebook I knew that was where I wanted to get married. It’s perfect! Everything from the décor, the food, to the bridal suite is AMAZING. Mayte is a goddess! When we met her at our tasting, I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Rachel had already sent her everything. On the day of our wedding she took care of every single detail, everything was perfect because of her. I had only arranged for one shuttle home at the end of the night. When my Mom started to not feel good in the evening Mayte instantly arranged for another shuttle to take my Mom back to the hotel. When we discovered it was our photographer’s birthday, Mayte arranged a piece of cake so we could all sing happy birthday. Mayte is your Fairy God Mother and you are Cinderella. There is nothing she can’t do. Rachel and Mayte are the dream team!!! It has been seven months since our wedding and our guests are still talking about it. Every person who attended said it was the best wedding they have ever been too. The food was spectacular, we customized our appetizers and created our own special cocktail. I can’t think of anything that wasn’t perfect that day. I honestly feel like I have life long relationships with these two incredible women now. Pick Kukua, you won’t be disappointed!

Review I don’t even know where to begin with this review, there is many perfect things to talk about, how do I decided which to start first ... we’ll let me start by saying if your reading this, just know you found the place. If you’re looking for a wedding , wedding planners, food, entertainment, staff, decorations that’s are perfect then Kukua is the place for you! When I was trying to find a venue, I was searching and searching and I came across this one and after the first couple reviews I was sold. Since the day I sent them an email I was treated with nothing but love! We are from Florida so this was a destination wedding for us, sounds scary right? Getting married in another country and planning an entire wedding! Well let me just say, my wedding was the most stress free wedding I could EVER imagine! I couldn’t believe how helpful Rachel & Mayte, I still to this day look back and think how simple and wonderful they made everything! Let me start off by talking about Rachel, she is the one you will be communicating through phone and emails, to plan your big day. She is the most SWEETEST human bean you will ever come across, she made planning a wedding a blast! She was helpful, she was caring, she was knowledgeable, she was everything you could ask for, and the best part is she was ALWAYS there for me whenever I needed her, even if it a quick text or phone call she never made me feel like I was a bother, she was always so happy every time my family and I talked to her. Then after all the wedding planning, the big day finally comes then you meet mayte, and let me tell you something that girl can make your Pinterest wedding come to dreams!!! You want that wedding goal feels, then let Mayte make your dream wedding! My family’s Italian and they’re really big on food, decorations , and to be quite honest just extra as heck and I’ll never forget what my nana said to me... (keep in mind she was the one that you wanted to please, and I didn’t show her any pictures of this place because I wanted her to be so excited and surprised because I had that much confidence in Kukua that I knew she would love it) it’s the day of the wedding mayte and her team are putting together my dream wedding, my nana tells me “don’t worry I brought extra cash incase I need to change anything” like I said she’s the one you gotta impress, and I just slightly smiled and thought in my head if you only knew what your about to know... she walked in and was STUNNED! She came back to me and said “I couldn’t find one thing wrong, and I searched hard but everything is absolutely perfect. The flowers are more then I could imagine, it’s so beautiful I had tears” and that moment right there just was the icing on the cake and I knew this is why I had my wedding here. I do not have one con to even write, everything was nothing but BIG PROS. I got treated so good, I got my dream wedding, I got everything I was looking for, and so did my guest. They were mind blown by everything! So if you’re debating between this and somewhere else, I hope you go here and take my word you won’t regret it ❤️ Thank you Rachel, Mayte, and the entire staff from the bottom of me and my husband heart, truly thank you will never be enough for how amazing you made our wedding, to the fact I can’t even put it in words, I just think back ever day, and remind myself how perfect it was and I’ll forever have a piece of Kukua in my heart !
