Some of the most unique and exciting events produced on Maui have had the special touch of Amanda Robson, founder of Feast. The designer and event producer has her hand in every aspect of creating Feast’s memorable gatherings, from organizing the food and the florals to curating a magical feel. Feast’s events—from private dinners and corporate events to photo shoots and community happenings—are centered around a farm-to-table, slow-food ethos that highlights the best of what Maui has to offer.

“I'm always looking for a way to support local in my work process,” says Robson. “Especially in light of all our island has been through, it is important to incorporate local and sustainability into our events.” Robson collaborates with local chefs, florists, farmers, creatives and event spaces to create unique experiences. Some of her frequent collaborators include local floral farmers using organic methods on their land. As Robson explains, “Nature always plays a big part in my design process.”

Robson started Feast in 2013 after moving back home to Maui after years of living in California. She combined her experiences at The California Culinary Academy and her many years of art directing in the film and television industry in Los Angeles to create a production company that celebrated Hawai‘i’s history and culture. As Robson tells it, “The beauty of Maui's land, people and culture is such a rare gift. To be able to live and work here is a blessing that requires an equitable exchange from all of us.” Keep an eye out for Feast’s wellness events open to the community later this year.
