10/10 recommend! The team at Papa Kona is amazing! Honestly don’t know what we would of done without their help! Our wedding was beyond beautiful!

Julie L. - 9/19/21

The planning, advice, rehearsal brunch, organization, wedding ceremony, reception, food, drinks, snacks were beyond what we could have experienced. The entire staff including the planner, cooks, servers, bartenders, and clean up staff could not have done a better job. You should be very proud of yourselves. Mahalo to all you.

Megan S. 8/12/2021

My husband and I planned our destination wedding at Papa Kona on 8/12/21. We had the most amazing wedding day there. The view for the ceremony and reception were so beautiful. The venue wedding planner was easy to work with and was available to answer any questions we had along the way. They even made a custom cake flavor for my husband and I that wasn’t on their normal menu. The food and staff were amazing as well. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.
