Meet Patricia Rodriguez, our Reservations Manager and Destination Wedding Coordinator. Patricia, affectionately known as “Patch” to all of us,  is reserved and soft-spoken,  but a steady and dedicated personality of Ka’ana. She works tirelessly with any guest, whether it’s about their stay or to co-ordinate their wedding day,  to ensure that it will be amazing and everything they want it to be and more. We asked her a few questions about what motivates her.

What’s the most exciting part about your job?

Meeting and interacting with people from all walks of life; everyday is a new experience.

What keeps you focused on the details of other people’s weddings?

Knowing that the experiences our team puts together will create memories for our guests for a lifetime.  When coordinating weddings I try to get in the mind of the bride to picture what she wants her special day to be like. That way I can ensure her wedding day is stress free, all she has to do is smile for the photos.

Do you have a favorite moment(wedding or otherwise) that stands out in your memory?

I’ll always remember my first wedding at Ka’ana. When Lauren & Eric walked over to their onsite wedding pergola it brought them to tears. It’s an amazing feeling to know that my team and I were a part of making that moment extra special.
