Outrageous gourmet did an outstanding job both helping to plan and catering our wedding at the beachfront on the Kona Salt Farm. First the first ½ of our wedding planning we lived ...
off island and having someone on island was essential to helping us efficiently plan all of the events. Katherine handled both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding including the photographer, flowers, catering, equipment, the bartender (for the rehearsal dinner), some of the decor (we added some of our own for some unique touches) and placed all the decor. We handled the string quartet, DJ, some decor, and the rental of the airstream bar. Her experience shone through and helped us through some choices we didn’t even know we needed to make. Everyone raved about the food and the wedding and rehearsal dinner scenes were beautiful. She had great suggestions to save money without compromising aesthetics. It did cost a lot, but that was totally on us. We could have made some cheaper choices, but did not want to compromise much to get what we wanted. The key to working with Katherine is to be patient when you can and more forceful when you need it. She has a lot of business and prioritizes her attention accordingly, so if you really need something from her, just say so and she will respond. If not, she will get to it. The fact is that a lot of decisions don’t need to be made until later and planners like me sometimes need to take a chill pill.

After getting engaged on the Big Island of Hawaii in late February 2020, we made the decision that we wanted to get married in Hawaii. Before departing, we had our venue and date ...
(September 2021) picked out but knew we couldn’t plan the wedding from New Jersey without help. After doing some research and recommendations from family, we decided to reach out to Chef Katherine at Outrageous Gourmet. Shortly after requesting a wedding consultation, Chef Katherine reached out to us via telephone. Our initial conversation lasted over two hours and by the time we hung up, we knew she was the one.
Then COVID-19 hit, but we pushed ahead!!! We continued to plan our wedding with Chef Katherine. She stayed positive, but always had a contingency plan in the event we had to make any changes. During the early stages, we had our entire wedding day planned out, including vendor options, the menu, and everything worked within our budget. Chef Katherine has a very creative mind and was never short of suggestions or great ideas. Once we laid out the initial groundwork, all we had to do was fine tune the plan and hope that COVID restrictions would not interfere with our wedding day.
Unfortunately, the heightened restrictions brought on by the spike in cases almost put an end to our special day. However, with Chef Katherine’s help and guidance, we were able to apply for and receive an exemption which allowed us to proceed with our wedding.
We arrived back in Hawaii a little less than a week before our wedding. The day after our arrival, we finally got to meet Chef Katherine in person, and we hit the ground running. It felt like we knew her for ages because of all our correspondence over the last year and a half. We used the week to take care of any last-minute arrangements that could not be handled from New Jersey. Chef Katherine made sure to have time for us either in person or by phone, in case we had any questions leading up to our special day.
On the day of the wedding, Chef Katherine not only brought her A game, but brought the A-team. From her staff to her vendor selection, it couldn’t have been a more perfect combination. We opted for a heavy pass of her gourmet pupu’s, or as we know them appetizers, instead of a formal sit-down dinner. The pupus that we selected to be served were absolutely delicious. We also opted for a non-traditional cake and went with Chef Katherine’s gourmet lilikoi (passionfruit) cheesecake instead, which was to die for. She gave us the option of providing our own alcohol, which we did. This option gave us the opportunity to purchase all our alcohol, minus liquor, from our favorite local Big Island brewery, Ola. The bartender served all the alcohol, including our signature drink, which was a Mai Tai Mojito combination (mai-jito), that everyone loved.
Chef Katherine was able to work her magic and make our dream wedding come true! We couldn’t be happier with her and her team, Outrageous Gourmet. If you’re looking to have a perfect wedding or just a catered meal on the Big Island, we HIGHLY recommend Chef Katherine and Outrageous Gourmet.
