    Fun bartenders!

    Loved how flexible they were. My guests had a blast with the signature drink and enjoyed making up ones of their own!

    Best decision having Black Book Hawaii coordinate my wedding

    Keani and her team did a WONDERFUL job making our wedding amazing. There were some major hiccups with set-up that was out of our control and Keani worked SO hard and remained cool, calm, and collected. She assured me that her team got it covered the whole time. They executed the set up exactly to how I imagined. She was easy to talk to and provided so many suggestions that I didn't even think of. I will be recommending Keani and her team to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator! They were great!

    One of our best decisions!

    Hiring Black Book was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. We hired them primarily because our caterer did not offer service and at the time we were planning, self-serve buffets were not allowed because of COVID. By the time our wedding rolled around, COVID restrictions had lifted so we decided to have a self-serve buffet and have Black Book servers stock the buffet, clean up, serve water, etc. The servers truly went above and beyond and kept our event clean and the pupus, buffet, and desserts well-stocked.

    We also used Black Book's bartending service. The bartenders, like the servers, were efficient and good-natured. They also offered services that made our lives a lot easier such as bringing in the ice, water, and kegs and providing their beautiful Wailele bar that allowed our guests to serve their own draft beer.

    We worked with Keani throughout our planning process and she provided so much guidance which was a nice complement to the help we received from our coordinator. Keani is nice and fun, as well as creative, responsive, and easy-going. One of the things I appreciated most was that Keani was very reasonable and honest about the services we needed and that would be helpful to us. I have no doubt that she would be an amazing wedding planner despite having only hired Black Book for serving and bartending.

    On top of all that, Black Book's prices are fair. They went above and beyond and after our wedding my husband and I felt like we got more than what we had bargained for from Black Book. We cannot recommend them enough!
