Where do I begin? Nicole was an absolute dream to work with; we didn't lift a finger! She is clearly in the right business, as she was able to quickly get a feel for our wants and needs, and magically threw it all together in the most gorgeous package. All questions were answered; attention was always given; and I felt zero stress going into my wedding day. How many brides can say that?! Aside from the already spectacular scenery the island provides, Nicole threw together a dinner table that is straight from a dream. All the little details made it everything and more. The food was incredible and it truly was the most special celebration. Thank you all at Celebrations Maui!! I wish we could do it all over again!!!
Celebrations was absolutely wonderful to work with! They ensured every detail was executed exactly as planned to make our big day everything we imagined. Nicole was amazing - not only did she assist in the logistics so that everything moved smoothly, she also helped bring our bohemian island theme to life; we met with her on several occasions to construct a coherent menu to reflect our theme. All of our guests raved about the food! Celebrations is hands down the best catering and wedding planning company on Maui!
Phenomenal. That one word sums up our entire experience. From the beginning of planning until the very end, we thoroughly enjoyed Celebrations. The entire team was organized, thorough, and far surpassed our expectations in all areas.
Our venue left us speechless. It belonged in a wedding magazine. We could not believe that this wedding was for us. The details were so intricate and everything I could have dreamed of and more.
The food was absolutely incredible! Our guests rave even now reminiscing about the meal. Class and fine dining all at once, accompanied by a staff whom took care of you in every way. Neither our glasses nor our bellies were ever left empty!
Nicole is full of both charm and beauty - inside and out. She is a treat to work with. She absolutely knows what she is doing. She's very thorough, and capable of planning the event of your lifetime!
My only word of advice is to a bride. Relax! I worried too much at the beginning, thinking of all the decisions that needed to be made and the timing of making those decisions. Nicole knows exactly what needs to be done and when. Relax!!! She's got this. She will work with you on every detail.
Enjoy being taken care of, by far the most professional event planner we've met. Celebrations, we cannot thank you enough!
Love Derek and Rebecca Falk
Working with Celebrations was truly a pleasure!! From the incredible tasting to the planning and design, Nicole NEVER skipped a beat. My daughter and I did not have a single concern knowing Nicole was at the helm. Her genuinely thoughtful suggestions were always spot on. Her communication was targeted and intelligent. The wedding day execution did not disappoint and guests continue to rave about the incredible food....it is NOT typical wedding food- it is a million steps above! My only regret is that i did not use Celebrations to oversee the entire wedding planning. I strongly encourage anyone planning a wedding in HI to consider working with this professional group.
Over 2 years ago I attended a wedding of a friend's on Maui and while at the wedding, the father of the bride, knowing I was engaged and getting married on Maui as well, pulled me aside and said if there is anything I can definitely recommend you use for your wedding, it would be Celebration's Catering and Nicole Scharer as your wedding planner. Because I know this family very well, and I know how high their standards are, I jumped at the opportunity, met with Nicole a few days later, and began the wedding process with her from there.
I was blown away from the start. Nicole has a quality that not a lot of people in the service profession have and that is intuition. Nicole seemed to know my vision and goal from the start better than I did. She was able to come up with ideas, creative suggestions, little details, and so much more that only enhanced and complimented the direction I wanted to take the wedding in. I consider myself a creative person but Nicole's creativity floored me! Throughout the entire wedding planning process Nicole was available to me, generous with her time and energy, attentive, thoughtful and very dedicated to me and my wedding goals.
Nicole and celebration's catering helped me come up with a look and feel, as well as a menu and customized bar menu, that literally blew me, my groom, our families and friends away! The attention to detail that was present in the food stations, as well as the bar, was incredible. We served over 40 food items at our wedding and every single one of them was flawless. Our guests went back for seconds, thirds, and sometimes even fourths because the food was just that good! The service was exactly as service should be; quick, efficient, and virtually unseen. Every staff member that came with Celebrations was professional and willing to help. The food and dessert were truly out of this world and my only regret is that I didn't take more time to try every single thing! My groom even went so far as to request cronuts (a very difficult pastry that uses croissant dough but fried like a donut) and for most of our guests, this was the first time they had such a special treat. I heard the next day that some people had 4 or 5 of them because they literally were that good.
Honestly, I could go on and on about how happy and thrilled I am for having hired Nicole and Celebrations' Catering to plan and create my wedding. It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen, everything was flawless, and the service was phenomenal and this was entirely thanks to them.
I used Celebrations Catering for my wedding for food, cake, rentals and bar, and they were worth every penny we spent! Seriously, I can't rave about them enough. Professional and attentive, they were totally unobtrusive at the wedding. Most importantly (for me anyway) the food was unbelievable! People are still raving about their Hoisin Braised Short Ribs, their Lilikoi Mojitos and the cake! Almost a year later, we still have guests reminiscing about the cake. Moist and totally delicious.
