Pāʻina. 🫶 The Hawaiian word for a gathering, a feast, a celebration of being together. That is exactly what last night’s welcome party was.
We walked into Rebecca Grinnals+Kathryn Arce and got handed Engage-branded coconuts at the door, then sent off with local hair pieces to wear for the night. Pāʻina and Provisions turned the beach lawn at The Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua into a true island gathering, with bamboo and florals that felt foraged from the island. 🌸 The ukulele wall stopped everyone in their tracks. 🎶 And the whole thing unfolded at golden hour with the Pacific as the backdrop. ☀️
Eight local chefs and restaurants plated the best of the island, the music kept going, and the room filled with the people building the future of luxury weddings. We mingled, we ate, and we danced our way through it. Swipe to see the video of the night and look out for our CEO, Shafonne Myers | Founder • Speaker • Wedding Industry Disruptor
Engage! is where the luxury wedding industry shows up, and so do we. Inclusive luxury wedding is a category, and this is one of the rooms where it gets built.
More from Maui all week. 🤙
