Pricing was reasonable especially compared to other venues on the Big Island. When it came time for the wedding, rehearsal and reception, everything went smoothly and according to plan. The food at the reception was great. I would recommend this event space for anyone hosting a destination wedding in Hawaii.

Their professionalism, communication, and consistency make such a difference throughout the planning process, and my couples always rave about the experience. Papa Kona's onsite events are always beautifully executed--seamless service, attentive staff, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that creates an unforgettable celebration. When we've partnered with them for off-site catering, the quality remains just as exceptional. They arrive fully prepared, their team is organized and efficient, and the food is consistently outstanding. Whether it's a small intimate gathering or a larger wedding, they handle every detail with care. As a planner, having reliable vendor partners is essential, and Papa Kona Events truly delivers. Their team is friendly, flexible, and solution-oriented, which makes wedding days smooth and stress-free for everyone involved. I highly recommend them for any couple looking for exceptional service and delicious cuisine on the Big Island.

DO NOT HIRE. Scam. Hired 6 months before my wedding. If you dont want your money wasted & if you…read moredont wanna end up scrambling to find another bartender two weeks before your wedding, please save your money and hire someone else. Weeks leading up to my wedding, it was very hard to reach the owner. Follow ups after follow ups. I was a bride that had to plan everything on my own. The company didnt produce what was agreed upon and made the last two weeks before my wedding very stressful. Also, He was always "travelling". He was so quick to get my deposit initially though. Which btw, he promised to give my deposit back but never did. I can go on and on with what went wrong but let me end my review by saying : DO NOT HIRE. The stress and anxiety isnt worth it!!

I used Islands Bar Company for my wedding last week. All my husband and I can say is that Jeff was…read moreamazing and made sure we all had a great night. Jeff has been a reliable person to communicate with regarding my bar service-- he has let me bother him since last summer with price quotes, questions about glassware, a shopping list, and creating our beverage menu. On the wedding day, he even stepped out from behind the bar (he had an assistant with him) to serve drinks to me and my husband while we were taking photos during the cocktail hour to make sure we had something to drink. Many of our guests commented that they liked the cocktails and Jeff was very flexible with their requests, including shots at the end of the night. My husband wanted to make sure we wrote a review for Jeff to rave about him and his company and we typically do not write reviews. If you are looking for a great bartender for your wedding or party and care a lot about alcohol at your event and want to serve it in a cost-effective way (because you provide the alcohol), then hire Islands Bar Company and talk to Jeff. Thanks a lot Jeff!

Two very different approaches and two Fantastic memorable meals! Not only is the food beautiful and delicious, Chef Jason helps you plan every aspect of your event. Problem solved, innovated, and under promised and over delivered! I promise you will not be disappointed. You will be wowed like we were. We have found our go to chef in Hawaii and now you have too!

The food and venue were both incredible. Their team kept us on track throughout the night and acted as pseudo- day of planners. The team was incredibly responsive and patient with us as we made decisions about food, timing, and other vendors. They provided advice and answered all questions we had to help us create the perfect experience for us for our intimate wedding. We appreciated that everything could be handled in house by the HeartBeet/Pu'uwai team. They handled the bartending, cake cutting, servers, cleanup, and joined in some of the dancing! Plus, the food was INCREDIBLE. We had two kids, under 10, who can be picky, but they ate everything on offer! A true testament to delicious options that were curated for our event. We opted for family style, for our small group, and an extra protein because we couldn't decide on just one! The family style serving option helped us all feel at home, we loved it. Pu'uwai Gardens held a beautiful backdrop for the evening, including the covered area for eating and dancing, that included cute lighting, and the build in covered bar- stunning. The land and tress were also beautiful, as was the view of the water. The HeartBeet/Pu'uwai team overdelivered for our day and we are so grateful to have chosen them to host our reception.

I'll add more pictures once i get the professional ones back!

Would fly him to Los Angeles or Cleveland (home) to cater a special event.
