Themed Events & Menus

Themed Events

Many successful events have been designed by our creative Catering & Conference Services staff, entertaining groups from large to small. Here are a few examples of some themed events that Mauna Kea offers.

Symphony under the Stars
Amaze your guests with this resort formal affair in a stylishly appointed outdoor venue under the Pacific night skies. Tiki torches and accented table candles will set the mood while a harpist strings the melody for the music of the night. Greeted with champagne and butler passed hors d'oeuvres, guests can enjoy stargazing through high-powered telescopes guided by our onsite astronomers. The action stations featuring our talented culinary staff will set a lasting impression with any palate. Then as dessert is served, the conductor will tap his bow and lure your guests into a symphonic paradise that will have a pyrotechnic finale.

Psychedelic 70's Party
Bring your guests back to the 70's for a fun-filled unforgettable event. Surrounded by spotlights of assorted fluorescents and neon colored furnishings and tableware, your guests will feel like they have stepped back in time. The decade's music will keep everyone's memory jumping as to what they were doing when they first heard that song. Glow in the dark gadgets and ice cubes will be the talk of the event. An around the world menu showcasing many different tastes will add to this exciting theme.

Chefs of Hawaii
Tantalize your guests with an eclectic array of chef specialties through this food festival style theme. Renowned chefs that have put "Pacific-Rim" cuisine on the map would be invited to participate. Each chef will display culinary artistry under a cabana style tent paired with a complementing winery. Choose an oceanfront location with the sunset as your backdrop. Jazz or island music will set the under-tones of this popular food and wine extravaganza.

We can also work with you to create an exciting, customized event to fulfill your needs.
