Post-Wedding Celebration Ideas and Referrals

Here you will find information about where to get a wedding cake, your private dining options, private chef options, and in-home catering.

Wedding Cakes

Professional, Local Bakers with Beautiful Ingredients and Decorations:

Onolicious LLC - They don't have a website, but they do have a FB Page, which the owner checks often.

Kona Sweets - Website, FB Page

Basic Cakes (when you care more about the symbology of having a cake, but aren't tied to the uniqueness or flavor:

Kona Safeway Bakery (TIP: You don't have to tell them it's for a wedding.) Call them at: 808-339-9155 x2

Costco Kona Bakery (for bigger sheet cakes). Call them at: 808-331-4800 x6

Private Dining Options

If you are looking for more of a private dining option (rather than just a nice dinner out), rather than a traditional reception, the below are beautiful, special options:

Four Seasons:

Dinner Under the Stars - Private dining experiences at the Four Seasons. Click for the brochure.

The Barefoot Table - this is not something they advertise online, but something I can get you information on and connect you to the right person to speak with about this and/or help you arrange it for you. It's a beautiful table set next to their restaurant, The Beach Tree. You will have a dedicated server, a private chef and a special menu including appetizer, main course and dessert. Currently priced at $150 per person (not including alcohol), plus tax and gratuity. Maximum number of guests (unless restricted by law) is 22.

Fairmont Orchid Private Dining Experiences:

Brown's Beach House Private and Group Dining Options:
Three beautiful private locations and options, from one to up to 12 or 30 guests, depending on the spot. Click to find out all the details.

Fish Hopper Catering:
Ironically, I don't recommend the restaurant for more than breakfast, but the catering - onsite on their upstairs covered private lanai (NO view) or at your rental house - is wonderful. The service is friendly, the communication is good, and the food is delicious. On the more affordable side of things here in Hawaii. Go HERE for more information and to contact them, and below for the complete brochure of catering packages.
