Private Reception + Collaborator Gathering

The Table brings
the room together.

We’re planning a private gathering around the Mākaha Sons’ 50th Anniversary Concert. A place for business leaders, artists, collaborators, hospitality partners, and invited guests to meet, share the evening, and begin relationships that continue.

LIVE AT Legends creates the concert experience. The Table shapes the private gathering around it, with a thoughtful guest list, personal introductions, and care for the people you bring.

FOR CORPORATE HOSTS

Welcome your guests.
Be part of the evening.

Help bring the gathering to life while welcoming clients, colleagues, or partners. We’re shaping opportunities for private hospitality, recognition within the gathering, and time with the people behind the experience.

Tell us who you would like to host and what would make the evening meaningful. We’ll discuss the format, guest arrangements, and host role as the plans are confirmed.

WHAT THE TABLE DOES

The right place changes
what happens next.

We bring together people who have a reason to know one another. A shared round, a private dinner, or a gathering around a concert creates the time and space for a real connection. Then we help the conversation continue.

01

Bring the right people together.

Founders, business leaders, artists, and partners. A thoughtful guest list shaped around shared interests and what people want to build.

02

Give the meeting a reason.

Golf, food, music, and hospitality give people something to share. We can host a gathering of our own or a private group within a partner’s event.

03

Keep the conversation going.

With both people’s agreement, we help guests reconnect, explore projects, and find a reason to meet again. The event is a starting point.

FOR COMPANIES, BRANDS & ORGANIZATIONS

Bring your people.
Build something together.

A reason to meet, a useful role for your company, and time with people who share your interests. Let’s start with what you want to make happen.

01 / HOST

A room for your people.

Bring clients, colleagues, or your community to a private dinner, golf gathering, or shared evening around a larger event.

Plan a gathering
02 / SPONSOR

Be part of the experience.

Help fund an event and take part as a corporate host. Guest hospitality, introductions, and useful brand roles can be shaped with our partners.

03 / COLLABORATE

AN OPPORTUNITY WE’RE EXPLORING

A working property.
A place to show what works.

Imagine energy solutions, electric golf carts, and grounds equipment being shown where they could be used every day. We’re exploring how The Table, Sustain SoCal, and the property could bring companies together around demonstrations and pilot projects.

Projects and product demonstrations require property and partner approval.

MEET YOU DOWNSTAIRS

The secret is the place.
The club is the people.

One flight down, the evening slows. Brick, wood, warm light, and a table small enough for everyone to be part of the conversation.

The Cellar is central to our vision for The Table. From intimate rooms to the golf course and amphitheater, the property gives people more than one way to connect.

Small tables.Real conversations.Your people.
Come see it for yourself

MORE WAYS TO COME TOGETHER

Business belongs here.
So does the rest of your life.

A midweek meeting. An afternoon outside. An evening with the people closest to you. One home base, with more reasons to return.

Make the right introduction.

BUSINESS, WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH

Make the right introduction.

Bring a client, a future partner, or someone you want to know better. Give the conversation the time and care it deserves.

Take the conversation outside.

A LITTLE ROOM TO PLAY

Take the conversation outside.

A short round of golf. A game of pickleball. Time together that feels easy, with room for business and everything beyond it.

Give them a reason to stay.

EVENINGS WORTH SHARING

Give them a reason to stay.

From intimate dinners to live music and Hawaiian evenings, bring your people together around something they will remember.

Experiences shown reflect the vision for The Table. Programming and access will be set out in your membership offer.
