From the reviews

From the moment you pull down the driveway your breath is taken away! Not only did we host our wedding here but my family and I stayed here for the weekend as well. This land is absolutely beautiful! All the greenery, nature sounds and not too far from the beach… you truly feel like you’re in a jungle.

★★★★★ — Rain, Apr 2022

We had a fantastic stay at Open Palms. The setting is serine amidst the lush vegetation and neighboring farms, perfect for weddings, events or just a short getaway.

★★★★★ — Klaw, Mar 2022

Open Palms was the perfect place for our intimate wedding. All of the guests raved about how beautiful the property was and Leandra was so accommodating. She completely eased all my worries and took very good care of us when we were there.

★★★★★ — M, Jan 2026

What a beautiful place! We recently eloped to Hawaii and had our ceremony at Open Palms Plantation. The pictures don’t do justice to how breathtaking this property is. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this venue and Leandra who runs everything venue wise & was our day of coordinator.

Getting married at Open Palms Plantation

Open Palms Plantation comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
