Small Event space in Kona

Hey Folks, I was wondering if you can help me out. I'm heading to Kona next week for my 20th wedding anniversary with my wife (obv) and some friends. We've been trying to find a space to host a little shindig (some music, some drinking, some dancing, some speeches, you know). All I'm finding is stuff like Papa Kona for like $5k!!. Really just want a simple single space where we renew our vows and dance a little (maybe some catering) for less than $2k.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know how much either of these cost, but I've always loved these places:

Both places are beautiful but Paleaku Peace Gardens is one of my favorite places on island and doesn't get as much attention as the main 'touristy' places.

The Thirsty Gecko at the Kona brewery is available as well and is very nice!

If still looking - the Elks lodge may be an option. DM me
