Testimonials and Press

"We were lucky enough to have our wedding catered by Dan and Katie last year in Kona. The Pa'ina Pantry team is absolutely top notch.

They created our wedding menu with a highly personal touch, thoughtfulness, and a deep understanding of the local produce and ingredients. We learned so much in our planning conversations and were thrilled to share the best of Hawaii with our guests.

Dan's presentation was highly creative and our grazing table during our cocktail hour was the best grazing table we have ever experienced. Our friends and family still talk about it (and we will dream about it forever!).

Dan and Katie are extremely kind and cool people, it was a pleasure to connect with them for such an important day. We are so grateful!"

"The quality of the food and presentation were exceptionally high for the Big Island. The level of professionalism that Dan and Katie and the rest of the Pa'ina Team gave us was exactly what we needed to pull of our dream wedding dinner. They put tons of time and effort in the menu planning process, often checking into local producers and farmers on what to grow in time for our big day. Communication was excellent while expectations were clear from day one. To keep it short, most of our guests simple said 'that was the best meal I've had at any wedding I've ever been to'."
