4worldlovers: Long before Waikiki was developed as a tourist destination, it was a favorite residence and recreational center for Hawaiian kings and chiefs. King Kamehameha I had his home where The Royal Hawaiian stands today, and Queen Kaahumanu’s Summer Palace was previously located on what is now the resort’s Coconut Grove.

Foreign visitors began to visit Waikiki in the 1830s, and a road was constructed in the 1860s. With an anticipation of an increase in visitors, our sister resort the Moana Hotel opened in 1901.

Simultaneously, the territorial government in 1907, under what it called the “Waikiki Reclamation Commission,” planned for greater commercial and tourism development by widening streets, building bridges, and draining the duck ponds, rice paddies, and taro patches that formed Waikiki’s aquaculture. Development accelerated after World War I.

During the times of the Charleston and Prohibition, the method of transportation to Hawaii was aboard a Matson steamship, providing a rather unattractive and unappealing method of travel for the rich who could afford overseas luxury and adventure. It became known as the gateway to the exotic faraway destinations of the South Pacific and the Orient.

On February 1, 1927, The Royal Hawaiian Hotel opened – a $4 million investment by the Matson Navigation Co., the brainchild of Ed Tenney, who headed the “big five” firm of Castle and Cooke and Matson Navigation, and Matson manager William Roth. It was made to be a luxurious resort for Matson passengers.

The first general manager of the hotel, Arthur Benaglia, presided over a staff of 300, including ten elevator operators and lobby boys dressed in “Cathayan” costume. At the grand opening’s black-tie gala celebration, members of the Honolulu Symphony entertained over 1,200 guests at the $10-a-plate event-of-the-year. The Honolulu Star-Bulletin described the newly opened hotel as “the first resort hostelry in America.”

Built on 15 acres of beautiful beach frontage, the luxurious hotel with its distinctive Moorish-style architecture, painted pink, was promoted world-wide as a premier visitor destination. Elaborate opening ceremonies and festivities included dinner and dancing, concerts, and pageants.

The era of opulence came to an abrupt end on the morning of December 7, 1941 when Japanese planes flew alongside Waikiki Beach on its way to the US fleet berthed at Pearl Harbor. The Navy recreation and morale office leased The Royal Hawaiian, transforming the resort into a major rest and relaxation center for the Navy personnel. The resort was restored to its pre-war elegance in 1947.

In the 1950s, many new moderately priced hotels were built in the Waikiki area, including SurfRider and Princess Kaiulani, built by the Matson Company. As larger and faster planes reduced the flying time from the mainland to Hawaii, fewer and fewer vacationers wanted to spend 4.5 days aboard a Matson ship each way. Although more than half of all the tourists who came to Hawaii in 1955 stayed in one of Matson’s four hotels, only a fifth came by ship.

By 1959, jet service had reduced the flying time even more, which further eroded the steamers’ business. That same year, after 32 years in hotel business, the company sold its first hotels (Moana, Royal, SurfRider and Princess Kaiulani) to the Sheraton hotel chain for $17.6 million.

The UNITY SAND CEREMONY: a magical ceremony symbolizing the joining of two unique individuals as a united and...

I wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks to you for your assistance in planning and officiating at my daughter Katie’s wedding. Your capable handling of every element of her wedding produced a day marked with beautiful visual images (Ah, the sight of those pink rose petals on the vivid green grass!) and inspiring ceremonial touches. (The sand ceremony was particularly moving). You achieved all of this with just the right balance of warmth and professionalism. So often tensions and hard feelings follow in the wake of planning big weddings and cloud the sentiments that a bride and groom should feel as their special day approaches. By hiring your services, Katie was able to avoid all such stresses. That is a priceless gift. Thank you for granting all of us the freedom to enjoy the day for its true meaning.

Thank you again for all your help and the beautiful ceremony you gave us! It was exactly what we wanted — even with the threat of a tsunami! Thanks again for everything – we really do appreciate it.

Justin, Lauren, Paula and I wanted to send you a note to thank you for all of the planning and the performing of our wedding ceremonies. It was truly a beautiful and unique memory that we will cherish all of our lives. The photographer was outstanding in talent as well as personality. Please thank him for us also. We have recommended you to numerous friends and family. Hopefully we will be joining some of them in a ceremony performed by you some day in the not too distant future.

Max and I just wanted to say thank you again for the beautiful ceremony. We received the pictures today, and they are absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for making our wedding day a dream come true!

You certainly may add my letter to your testimonial page. I have just watched the video of the ceremony and it reinforces all my thoughts about how nicely you officiated at the wedding. Your words were dignified, warm, natural. There wasn’t a hint of artificial or sappy sentiment. I believe you must be a truly genuine person. I think Katie could have searched long and hard and never found a better person to perform her ceremony. We were all so very pleased. (You may include these comments too if you would like.) I will strongly recommend you to anyone considering a wedding or vows renewal in Hawaii!

We are so happily married and its partly you to thank. I wanted to take the time to thank you for all that you did for us… You have no idea how much you have changed our lives. We truly appreciate your willingness to help us out and create such a beautiful day for us that we will remember forever. I will be attaching some pictures of us at the wedding so you can see just how amazing it was!! I hope you are doing well out there. I will be moving out to Oahu soon so maybe we could meet up again sometime. Take care.

I just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you again for the beautiful ceremony you gave Jason and I. I was so pleased with everything- from the pictures, the location, the vows, to the sand ceremony (our favorite part!). It was all perfect – I couldn’t have asked for more. You really gave me and Jason a wedding to remember.

I came into Hawaii and had a wonderful time! The wedding was fantastic, just what I needed. The ceremony was pleasing to both of us and also my sister who flew in from Miami for two days only. I was very pleased with everything. Hopefully will meet whenever you come to Jamaica. (smile).

Anyhow, once again, thank you very much for your time and expertise, I really appreciated it.
