They do weedings. You can get hitched right in front of the big tiki in the gardens. Many do!

Hi,
I'm going to the Mai Kai in a few weeks. Do you recommend a reservation, and any tips for maximizing enjoyment?
Thanks very much.
Jay

A reservation for dinner is a good idea. Get there when they open and enjoy the two for one happy hour. Have everyone get different drinks and trade on the second round.

Congrats Hala Bullhiki!!
That place really is magical isnt it. Wish I could get down more often.
I didnt make the Huki this year, but was at the Mai Kai in Feb and got engaged on Stage during the show.
I made sure they picked my wahine as one of the "volunteers" to dance on stage, then went up, got on one knee and popped the question.
There's a great pic of her pointing and laughing (yes laughing) at me while Im on one knee, but she did say yes.
If I can find that pic, I'll post it.

I asked my fiance if a wedding at the Mai Kai was an option and she said a flat "no." I asked why. She said she would not have her wedding in the area of those cockatil waitresses. A celebration later, sure, but not the wedding!

A lil tribute to our favorite tiki bar - the Mai Kai. On 3/5/06, WAITIKI had a rehearsal to get ready for our big orchestrotica show on 3/24/06 which of course, features the tikitainment of WAITIKI and Esquivel. It was also Mr. Ho's day of birth and what better way than to recreate the past than with a Mai Kai rum barrel. However, one must prepare adequately , and so we went thus forth with a tribute to the forefathers of okonkuluku - those village elders who taught us best under what influence to play exotica - the Mai Kai:
Now you can see the 4 pillars of truth that literally support WAITIKI's music:
Wanting to recreate that wondrous effect of the Rum Barrel, the Mayor goes to work in Mr. Ho's red kitchen:
The Finished Product - in all its glory:
Enjoy one, with Mr. Ho and the Mayor:
...wait, is this a rehearsal or a hang....

Mai Kai Roa Ai! The place continues to inspire! May it ever do so! There is no more magical place in my book. Disney is a joke. (Sorry Disney fans, you know what I mean.) Everyone who has been there know that the Mai Kai is far, far, far, far more than the sum of its vastly incredible parts (see above ;0 )
Any chance to see Waitiki in Fort Lauderdale in October again?
