LOVE MADE FAST BY TYING TOGETHER The Hyatt Regency Kauai Resort & Spa�s Wedding Package  Awaiaulu Ke Aloha, love made fast by tying together, is the most exclusive wedding package offered at the Hyatt Regency Kauai Resort & Spa. From January 2, 2001 through December 16, 2001, couples can experience three days in paradise where a wedding specialist will see to every detail.
First Day in Paradise
 Awaiaulu Ke Aloha begins with a limousine transfer from Lihue Airport to the resort, complete with specialty wine and delicacies created by the Executive Chef. After a royal lei greeting of maile and 'ilima, the wedding couple is graciously escorted to their 2-bedroom, deluxe ocean suite. During the leisurely walk to their room, the escort provides all the details of their package, including their preferred status in the resort, as well as amenities such as daily spa membership at ANARA Spa and personal concierge service. Upon arrival to the suite, they discover monogrammed robes from ANARA Spa, in addition to massage oil, body lotion, bath salts, and an aromatherapy candle creating a mood of relaxation. Or, if they prefer to explore the enchanting Garden Isle of Kauai, a convertible awaits the couple at the front entrance of the resort.
Second Day in Paradise  What better way to work out the wedding jitters than with the Duet Instructional Massage at the ANARA Spa. This unique "hands-on" experience in recreational massage is presented to the wedding couple by a professional massage therapists in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Following the massage, the wedding specialist meets with the couple to finalize the details of their special day. From last minute spa and salon appointments to site d�cor changes, the wedding specialist will be with them every step of the way.
In the afternoon, Awaiaulu Ke Aloha continues on a chartered sailboat ride, perfect for whale watching or viewing a spectacular Kauai sunset. The wedding couple and six of their guests are provided monogrammed towels and sun products before stepping on board the "Spirit of Kauai" for a two-hour sailing adventure. After being briefed by the captain and crew, the wedding party embarks on their voyage. Throughout their adventure, they have the opportunity to sip on a martini or mai tai while satisfying their palate with the Executive Chef's culinary delights. Menu items include Tiara of Onaga Gravlox, Maine Lobster and Daikon Roll, Hamachi and Ahi Napolean, King Salmon Roulade with Caramelized Shallots and Prime Cut Filet Mignon Medallions. Wedding Day in Paradise To perpetuate a wedding tradition, Hyatt Regency has created two unique experiences for the bride and groom on their wedding day. The bride will spend the day with three guests in ANARA Spa enjoying French manicures, pedicures, hairstyling, and make-up application. For lunch, the women will be spoiled at Kupono Caf� with healthy and satisfying salads and sandwiches, while royal Hawaiian gifts of Ni'ihau shell lei are presented. The bride receives a thirty-six inch rice-style lei, while her three guests are offered poepoe-style lei. These unique lei are created from hand-picked shells found only on Hawaii's island of Ni'ihau, referred to as "The Forbidden Island." The rare shells are carefully sorted and sewn together in ancient Hawaiian styles. While the women are getting pampered in ANARA Spa, the groom and three of his guests are teeing off at Poipu Bay Golf Course, home of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. The foursome will enjoy 18-holes of breathtaking views on the Par-72 course. After an exhausting morning on the green, they may relax at Poipu Bay Grill and Bar for an exciting menu of pupu (appetizers), innovative salads, and mouth-watering sandwiches. Humidors made from rare Koa wood by a local artisan filled with fine cigars are presented just in time for the big celebration. (Koa wood is considered a prized wood throughout the world for its strength, grain and extraordinary color.) The wedding couple finally meets again as the bride meanders through the lush, tropical setting of the resort to the wedding site. She finds the site elaborately decorated with florals, linens, and six specialty lei for the guests as a memory of their special day. An officiant waits to perform the ceremony under beautiful Hawaiian skies, while the songs of the islands are performed by a Hawaiian Duo. As the wedding couple pledges their vows, a photographer and videographer will capture their special moment forever. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the wedding couple may take a stroll on the beach, or just spend a moment relaxing with guests. Then, it is off to Tidepools or Dondero's for an evening of fine cuisine in an elegant setting. The pastry chef will then dazzle the party with an ornate wedding cake creation. At the close of a perfect day in paradise, the newlyweds return to their room to find decadent chocolate covered strawberries, a bottle of fine champagne and rose petals scattered about their suite. Final Day in Paradise The Hyatt wedding specialist sees the newlyweds off with an exquisite koa wood frame containing a wedding photo of their choice. They complete their adventure in paradise with a limousine transfer to Lihue Airport. Essential Information Awaiaulu Ke Aloha costs $40,000.
