Planning a wedding can be a logistical nightmare on many levels, from choosing a venue to picking floral arrangements. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place that could help you with every aspect of preparing for your special day under one roof? Well, now there is! The Wedding Café (owned by husband and wife team, Tanna and Bryson Dang, and quietly tucked away on the second floor of Manoa Marketplace) connects engaged couples to some of the best nuptial-related services in Hawaii—including hairstylists, jewelry desginers, and photographers—through in-store displays and workshops. You can even sample the delectable fare of various local caterers through the café’s well-priced selections. A vast reference library also stocks the latest wedding planning books and magazines.
