Assistant banquet manager Harry Slade, administrative assistant Shantina Pascual, sous chef Eddy Ayau, administrative intern Tara Kagimoto and general manager Jeff Marcello showcase highlights from the upcoming Administrative Professionals Day luncheon.
Pomaikai Ballrooms serves as the ideal setting for the perfect Administrative Professionals Day, as a bounty of delicious offerings and entertainment will help attendees recognize the “most valuable players” in the office.
Conveniently situated on the second floor of Dole Cannery in Iwilei, Pomaikai Ballrooms offers elegance and style, along with a warm, inviting atmosphere, right in the heart of Honolulu.
“It’s what we hoped for when we opened: to serve as a centralized location where people from all over the island can come and enjoy our delicious cuisine coupled with stellar service and a convenient venue,” says Jeff Marcello, general manager of Pomaikai Ballrooms. “One of the highlights of our facility is its convenient downtown Honolulu location, and customers remark that when they’re here, it feels like an elegant hotel setting. We strive to provide a high-quality destination experience at an affordable price.”

On Wednesday, April 26, from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Hokulei room, Pomaikai Ballrooms will host its highly anticipated Administrative Professionals Day luncheon for $45 per person ($3 validated parking available). The special event will be hosted by “Da Kolohe Krew” of Shannon Scott and Mele Apana from Hawaiian 105 KINE, and includes entertainment from Jon Yamasato and Blayne Asing as well as Kapena. The menu will feature local flavors and Pacific Rim cuisine crafted by executive chef Freddie Billena and sous chef Eddy Ayau.

“You can’t beat our location; we’re near downtown so you don’t have to deal with the traffic and hustle-and-bustle in Waikiki,” says Ayau. “Convenience is definitely one of the important factors that goes into the experience here.”
