What does a wedding day timeline look like?

We customize all of our wedding timelines to fit the needs of your wedding but the typical flow of a wedding is:
🤍Ceremony
🤍 Cocktail Hour / Sunset Photos
🤍 Dinner Reception & Party

Many of our couples like to include cultural wedding traditions, games, special dances, or desserts to personalize their wedding experience!

Ask our Event Managers about the best timeline for your celebration (link in bio) or you can call or text 808-300-0044.

Curious what our rain plan looks like?

In the very rare occasions of rain in Kona we have tents that can be easily installed over the tables on the lanai.

No matter the weather the party starts here!

Let’s talk sunset ☀️

The big moment you have always dreamed of…sunset in Hawaii on your wedding day! What can you expect from a sunset wedding ?!

We do have a beautiful sandy beach spot right next to Papa Kona. It’s perfect for photos of sandy beaches, black lava rocks, and gorgeous tropical foliage. Only steps away from the venue.

We will customize your timeline to maximize your enjoyment of this epic moment of your wedding day!

Typically we will time your ceremony in the later part of the afternoon so you can capture the soft light of the day and so you have plenty of time for you to enjoy your wedding day with your nearest & dearest without rushing to sunset.

Want lots of time for photos?
Or are you content to cheers your guests during golden hour?

Let us know what’s important to you for your sunset dreams in the comments!

Our Story

Papa Kona Events & Catering can help you plan events at our Kailua-Kona Waterfront Row venue, as well as offer full service catering for events off-site at businesses and private homes. Papa Kona in Kailua-Kona is two floors, and on the first floor is our restaurant, bar and cafe. The second floor is the event space, with our full bar, open air conference room (dance floor!) and dining lanai perched over Kailua Bay. We try to make event planning stress-free by offering an Event Package that includes the tables, chairs, linens, glassware, flatware, china, set up and clean up. In addition, we also provide full catering services from passed appetizers (pupus!) through dinner, coffee service, specialty desserts, wedding cakes and dessert displays.
