Gourmet Events Hawaii

get & worked with it, even threw in somethings at no charge, she had worked our venue before & had a beautiful layout planned, worked around our schedule & was available on weekends, communicated very well & responded quickly. She scheduled our tasting with the chef & it was amazing. We signed the contract with her & put down the 50% deposit. 3 months before my wedding I received an email that she was no longer with the company & that another person would take over my account. I understood that things happen, but it was like I starting all over again & I felt that the promises made should still be valid. The new person had a completely different personality, more of a business/sales person, & she was just handling the paperwork side, there would be another person for the day of. This is were I had most of my downs, lots of miscommunications, I had to edit the rentals & inform of the mistakes made, even though I paid the extra money for them the handle all rentals, she didn't try to work with our budget (I asked the rental company what was effective & yet budget friendly for lighting, which resulted in me saving $200, & I rented linens from ALSCO instead of the rental company & saved $400!). I did like that we were able to drop off all of the centerpieces, alcohol, decor, and linen at the office so they could bring it with them on the day of. We had a walk thru of the venue with my "day of" event coordinator/staff manager. The "day of" person was more of planner & she regained my trust. She had lots of ideas that were beautiful & still effective for guest & staff while being economically friendly. For my big day, the coordinator really pulled through! She & the staff worked really hard throughout the night, made adjustments quickly when the rain changed the location of the ceremony, made sure changes went through my approval first & she personally made sure that we were taken care of throughout the whole wedding.

thermore, all participants of the GEH team were very professional, courteous, and added to a memorable experience. First, to provide some detail into the success of our wedding, there was timely arrival of all vendors. Second, setup at the venue was done quickly and ahead of the originally planned schedule. Third, the recommended florist provided beautiful and lively floral arrangements that complimented the venue perfectly. Fourth, the recommended makeup/hairdressers did a great job of keeping the hair and makeup of the women in good condition (even in the humid Hawaiian air.) Fifth, the food was delicious; in fact one of our guests suggested that the Kalua pig was the best she has had. Sixth, the entertainment and photographers that GEH recommended went out of their way to make the evening special. For example, the photographers stayed much longer than the allotted time and the entertainers were very alert to play the first dance song when my wife and I decided to dance out of sequence. And lastly, the event coordinator did a fantastic job of managing and simplifying such a complex event. Overall, I would highly recommend GEH to plan any event due to their professional nature, ease of planning, and exception execution. We were extremely pleased.

vice the day of was incredible from the wait staff and bartenders. Staff even helped move chairs from the ceremony to the reception area. Great experience and highly recommend Gourmet Events Hawaii!

's backyard. Sateash then replaced Marinanand was able to follow our vision as well. The catering staff & bartenders were amazing. The lead manager and staff exceeded our expectations and catered to our every need. We had a buffet style dinner with passed hors d'ourves. The food tasted excellent and the service was impeccable. We would recommend this company to any bride who wants an amazing wedding!

elieve how good the food was. The staff made sure everyone got what they needed before they even asked. They delivered a Five Diamond Service!!

e BEST catered food I have ever had! They not only customized a menu for the guests I had but they worked within my budget. They also provided the BEST service I have ever experienced at any event. As soon as our ceremony was over...they were right there with appetizers and drinks for all of our guests so we were free to go off to take pictures. Once pictures were over, they had the champagne flowing and dinner was served. Their staff was well dressed and totally professional...attentive to all my guests needs. Our guests are STILL raving about the amazing food! Marina Jones at GEH was my "go to " lady. With her vast knowledge of food and event planning...I was actually able to relax and enjoy my day. If I could give them TEN stars in stead of five..I absolutely would! Bravo and thank you GEH for an amazing wedding...we LOVE you!

one person at this company and it wasn't a problem at all, everyone knew what was going on). We used them for both the catering services and day-of wedding coordination. We would highly recommended them for both of the above services! PS-Cost per head was for the food only (not staff, alcohol, etc...).
