Located on the former Dillingham Estate, nestled at the foot of Diamond Head, La Pietra is a secluded but conveniently located venue for your special event. Originally designed by David Adler, the campus boasts architecture reminiscent of an Italian villa, providing a picturesque backdrop for your milestone memories.
We are pleased to offer our outdoor venues for private event rental. These include the Great Lawn, Fountain Courtyard, Julia Brown Courtyard and on-site parking areas. We have a modest kitchen space with refrigeration and counter space for food preparation.
