Our last meal kit pickups were such a success that we're doing it again. Mahalo to everyone who supported us on the Super Bowl for the BBQ kits!

St. Pattys Day is less than a month away and we want to help you throw a party! Pre-ordering is now live on our website painapantry.com. We have complete meal kits available or by the pound pricing as well. We will have incredibly tender braised corned beef, REAL Irish bangers, and plenty of other traditional scratch made staples! We will be doing pickup the day prior to St Pattys so you can throw a Sunday party or have it ready to go the moment you wake up on Monday. Please reach out with any questions, and Mahalo for supporting small local owned businesses!

We love helping make incredible moments for incredible people. Every couple is different, every event is unique, and so is every menu from Pa'ina Pantry. Today was a gorgeous oceanfront ceremony with two impressive spreads for them, one of grazing and mingling, followed by a family style sunset dinner and dancing. Every vendor brought their best, and is the cream of the crop as coordinators. We love collaborating with them, and helping to build truly unique and unforgettable experiences. Congrats to Nicole and Andy, wishing you both a lifetime of joy, laughter, and good food!

It takes a village. We are so grateful to have such an amazing event team and I can't thank them enough for their skills, dedication and passion for what we do.

The most unbelievable wedding to have catered for Pa'ina Pantry. Peter and Alice started out as clients, and ended as our friends who we still keep in regular contact with. I knew that catering the wedding of 2 master Muppeteers was gonna be exciting(he is both Ernie from Sesame Street and Walter from The Muppets movies, and Alice is from The Dark Crystal, Sesame Street, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and others)...but this wedding was over the top perfection. We are so blessed to have been a part of their incredible day! We are always open to booking for anything from boutique weddings to drop off meals to in home Chef's dinners. Reach out to [email protected] or [email protected] for info!
Sunshower Weddings and Events

Alice and Peter, both puppeteers, first met in the early 90s through mutual friends and later ended up working together on The Muppets and Sesame Street. (Peter currently voices Ernie on the classic children’s show.) They soon became lifelong friends, and their families and kids even became close....
