Daylight Mind Coffee Company

Papa Kona Events & Catering is an oceanside event venue and catering company on the second floor of The Waterfront Row in Kailua-Kona, on Hawaii's Big Island. The space looks out over Ōneo Bay with 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean and year-round sunset skies — the open-air lanai puts guests close enough to the water to hear the waves. The venue accommodates up to 175 guests for seated events and 300 for standing receptions, with a full indoor bar, hardwood dance floor, and bistro lighting throughout. A separate ceremony lawn on the south side of the building seats up to 80 guests beneath a towering coconut tree beside the bay. Every package includes tables, chairs, linens, glassware, flatware, china, setup, breakdown, and a dedicated on-site event manager. Papa Kona's in-house team handles catering and bar service from start to finish, with customizable menus built by the executive chef and a pastry team that produces multi-tiered wedding cakes on site. The venue is also noted as the only event space on the Kona-Kohala Coast permitted to extend amplified music until 1 AM.
