Private Events
Catered events by Chef Mavro
Deliver the highest quality – from an intimate group to hundreds
Why are our catering services known as the best of the Islands?
Chef Mavro and his team cook to the highest standards every time. That means cooking everything "á la minute" (fresh to order) including canapés, garnishes and vegetables.
For outside catering such as corporate gatherings, weddings, and celebrations, we can cook from action stations. A “top gun” chef at each station prepares each course just as we do in the restaurant, “à la minute.”
This is the Chef Mavro promise: your food will be of the same quality for several hundred guests as for a table of two.
Group size? Examples of Chef Mavro events from 2-1,000 guests:
1,000 guests Sony Open Gala Dinner at the Hawaii Convention Center
50 guests from Europe, South America & Japan for breakfast, lunch & dinner for two weeks in Tokyo. International cuisine selected by the client.
