The Reception will be held at the restaurant Empire Steak House on the 30th floor of the Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites, which is adjacent to the chapel. Empire Steak House has the finest cuts of steaks, the freshest seafood, and a premium selection of wine, all of which are offered in beautiful surroundings with exceptional service. We have several Reception options based on your guest count.
As a special benefit, couples who book both their ceremony and reception will receive 15% off the wedding menu.
