The musician's read
OUTRIGGER Waikīkī Paradise Hotel is a polished Waikīkī hotel with dedicated event rooms and a live cultural-programming track that has included reggae-soul and Hawaiian contemporary music. The Pikake Room handles up to 160 for receptions and 170 theater-style, while the Victoria Room reaches 150 reception or 155 theater. This is more of an event and hospitality booking than a club date, so polished soloists, ensembles and culturally rooted acts should fit best. All-ages access also makes it workable for community and family-oriented events.
