Our Mission

Chrysalis Events Hawaii believes that in order to provide the highest level of service,
while being the most efficient and cost-effective, our ‘sales’, ‘business development’,

and execution. We strongly believe this strategy delivers success and ensures that all
program attendees have a fantastic Hawaii experience!
