1979--THE ABSOLUTE BEST Yarden and her team went above and beyond all of our expectations for our special day! It's particularly tough planning a wedding, and even harder during covid, but she made sure we were taken care of for EVERYTHING. S...

he provided us with great ideas based on the aesthetic we wanted, and designed a personal and meaningful destination wedding for us. (Zoom calls and emails with her were our lifelines during the planning process) 1979 is truly a one stop shop for everything you need; bar, food, dishware rentals, tables, lights, lounge tents (we loved this), etc. Yarden was extremely flexible in helping us navigate through the uncertainties of planning a wedding during a global pandemic. And not only was she quick to reply to any question we had, she kept us excited about new suggestions throughout. Our guests are still raving about it being the best wedding they've ever been to, and can't stop talking about their signature drinks (fresh pina coladas, welcome coconuts at the ceremony) and food! (Particularly the ahi poke and teriyaki grilled sirloin) Their service is world class and I highly recommend them without hesitation. 1979 made our wedding day perfect and for that, we will always be grateful to Yarden and her team.

When I first booked my wedding I debated on just hiring a bartender and going away with a specialized bartender service. I’m glad I changed my mind and booked with 1979. Their service is worth every penny. The staff were extremely friendly and ...

easy to work with along the way. I received a package that included pineapple frozen drinks which the guests loved during the warmth of an outdoor wedding. Pineapples or coconuts are a must for a hawaii wedding! The other cocktails we selected were beautifully garnished and tasted absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t change a thing!

amazing on the day of. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the amazing cocktails (especially the pina colada) and the coconuts on the ceremony seats. They also had a really unique champagne wall for our guests as well. We couldn't have asked for a better bar vendor for our wedding. 1979 truly made our special day extra special!

Any questions?

For our wedding, we had our catering, rental services, and wedding coordination through the 1979! Yarden was amazing from start to finish. I shared my Pinterest board with her and she literally made it happen, exactly how I pictured. Yarden com...

municated my vision perfectly with the florist. Her and Joshua brought my vision to life with the ceremony and reception set up. Our reception was so dreamy under the Hawaii mountains and string lights. The food was AMAZING! All of our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the food and drinks by the 1979. Yarden was so great the day of the wedding. She has a calm demeanor, which helped ease any pre-wedding jitters. She also snapped a ton of behind the scenes wedding photos, which we appreciated so much. Thank you so much Yarden, Joshua, & the 1979 team for making our wedding so effortless and perfect.

It’s taken me almost a month to write this review because of how many good things I’d like to share. I want to keep it short and sweet but I am extremely happy to have worked with 1979 Hawaii. Yarden really helped me with my vision (which, I ha...

ve to admit, I didn’t even have one. All I had was the idea we would elope in Hawaii lol) By asking questions and providing suggestions, SHE picked my brain to ensure she was giving me the ultimate experience. Everything turned out so beautiful and what I really have to highlight is the food!!!!! Oh my gosh!! Food ia always the biggest concerns at any sort of party or event and I’m not gonna lie, you’re spending on food you’ve never tried before so obviously, it’s worrisome what you’ll receive or you’re anxious about the quality but whoa! I was SO HAPPY the food and drinks taste amazing!! I’m still waiting on my wedding photos but I cannot wait to share with friends and family all the details and I’d encourage anyone to get married in Hawaii and hire this wonderful team! ❤️
