What Guests and Artists Say About the Pyramid House
Testimonial
"Best Venue on the Big Island!"
“I recently gave a concert at the Pyramid House in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. I didn’t know what to expect but it turned out to be the most wonderful experience, not only for myself but for everyone that came. Not only was the house exquisite architecturally, but it was also decorated in a most creative and pleasing way. That combined with the huge lanai and sprawling view of the ocean; seating capacity of over 150 people and the accommodating graciousness of the hosts, Laurie and Jacob, I would say that is absolutely the best venue on the Big Island and one of the most beautiful intimate venues I’ve ever performed at. I can’t wait to play there again.”
Peter Kater, Two-Time Grammy Award winning pianist, 13-time Grammy nominated, over 100 TV and movie scores

"The Gift of The Pyramid House"
“The red door opens into the portal of infinity, as you are transported into a space of beauty where the Ocean meets Sky. You feel the gentle touch of the spirit as Pele’s welcoming eyes gaze upon you. As you drink in the expanse of the moment, aloha rises in your pu’uwai (heart) and a feeling of deep gratitude expands into every breath. This is the gift of The Pyramid House. We are filled with infinite gratitude to Laurie & Jacob Teitelbaum, whose vision inspired and co-created this amazing space. Come and awaken your senses, and be filled!”
Incredible Hawaiian musicians Lei’ohu Ryder & Maydeen Iao

"The Perfect Hosts "
“Thank you both for a special musical Soiree. You are the perfect hosts. Such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Your home is so intimate yet awe inspiring. It was like going to the Phillips Collection 25 years ago to see the Bonnards, with a quartet afterwards playing in the library. What a Blast!”

"My Music Was Heard by Incredible Humans"
“The Pyramid House is a place that magnetizes people opened for the subtle and deep universe of emotions. Throughout my stay I could feel the good energies that surrounded me. In that environment, kindly shared by the wonderful hosts Laurie and Jacob, my music was heard by incredible humans, of the highest level of freedom of spirit and love. I am deeply grateful for the generosity and hospitality. I hope to return and be able to see them all, beyond, of course, the magnificent sunset that floods the house with warmth mingling with the mystical powers of the Goddess Pele.”

"We Love Playing at This Venue!"
“The Royal Kona Harp Ensemble performs regularly at The Pyramid House. We love playing at this venue because of the acoustics and the intimate setting. The perfect setting for an unforgettable evening. The Pyramid House is elegant, quiet and very accessible to performers and audience. There is plenty of parking and it is easy to get in and out at the front door because of the circular driveway. The majestic views of Kona Bay are spectacular and one of the highlights of the venue. Dr. Jacob and Laurie Teitelbaum are friendly and very appreciative of our concerts. They are true supporters of the arts and understand the nature of the creative process. It has been a pleasure to perform at Pyramid House.”

"They Made It So Easy for Me as the Speaker"
“The Pyramid House is absolutely gorgeous with views over the ocean and plenty of space. Laurie and Jacob were the perfect hosts. They made me feel so welcome there and their home is so peaceful, like a temple. They organized my event, sending out email invitations which brought many people as they are very well known on the island. Everything was so easy for me as the speaker to just focus on my talk and to leave all of the practical arrangements to them. I totally recommend this space as a venue and hope to visit again soon.”
