Pūpū, grazing, the long golden hour.
The standing format: grazing boards, tray pass, the pūpū hour that becomes the evening. Quoted per event — the honest answer to “how much” depends on whether this is dinner or before-dinner.
Two registers
The pūpū hour — ninety minutes of tray pass and boards before a later dinner or as ceremony-adjacent cover. The grazing evening — the spread IS dinner, refreshed for hours, priced by headcount and depth.
Both quote per event from the published structure; the quote states plainly whether the format feeds people or tides them over.
The spread, representative
From the same sourcing as everything else:
- Poke done properly — the day’s fish, shoyu and sesame register
- Grilled and chilled skewers — beef, chicken, the vegetable versions
- The boards — Kunana Dairy cheeses, island fruit, crackers that matter
- Hot pass — taro fritters, the liliko‘i-glazed thing everyone remembers
- Sweet finish — liliko‘i bars, chocolate-dipped fruit
Where it runs
Welcome evenings, wedding cocktail hours, retreat arrival nights, villa parties. Staffing runs one server per 15–20 standing guests at $55/hr; the bar cart pairs naturally ($850/4hr + $60/guest, alcohol client-supplied or licensed referral).
Questions, answered
A ninety-minute tray-pass hour for thirty typically quotes $1,500–$2,400 depending on depth, plus two servers at published hourlys. The grazing-evening version runs higher; the written quote fixes the number.
Yes — the grazing-evening format is dinner, stated plainly on the quote. The pūpū-hour format is not, and we’ll say so if your timeline needs a meal.
Labeled boards and a dedicated flagged pass — dietary guests eat as well as everyone, without hovering hopefully at the wrong board.
