Cafe O'Lei were absolutely amazing!! They catered our wedding at the Olowalu Plantation House. Our appetizers during cocktail hour were fantastic - we had coconut shrimp, mini grilled brie & bacon, chicken and waffles, and veggie samosas. My husband and I had to go get sunset photos during cocktail hour, but one of the servers rushed after us with a beautiful plate with 2 of each appetizer so we could try them all. We felt so taken care of!
Our buffet dinner offered macadamia nut crusted chicken, beef tenderloin with mushroom sauce, and mahi mahi with lilikoi butter. All of it was incredibly delicious!! So many of our guests went for seconds, and so many of them complimented us on the food! They also served special meals to our vegan guests, which they said were fantastic. Their servers were so kind and attentive.
As foodies, hiring Cafe O'Lei was one of the best decisions for our wedding!!

Cafe O Lei provided an exceptional dining experience at our wedding! For cocktail hour appetizers, we got Coconut Shrimp and Chicken Satay. They were winners! All guests loved these choices! For dinner, we
had on three options: the macadamia crusted Mahi mahi, Chicken, and Eggplant. They were beautifully plated and perfectly portioned. Hammered silver flatware was Cafe O Lei’s “standard” but for us, it definitely seemed like an upgraded detail! Their plated service during the ceremony was on point! We had so many compliments of the taste, quality, and presentation. Thank you Cafe O Lei! We can’t wait to go back to see you at Mill House!

We were unable to schedule a formal wedding tasting with Café O Lei prior to our big day, but we were able to enjoy an evening at one of their restaurants on the island during one of our visits leading up to our wedding. Our wedding planner arranged for us to meet with their catering captain and event manager. The food was amazing and they were both able to ease my mind regarding dietary restrictions and allergies. The team easily accommodated having an entirely gluten free evening with passed appetizers and plated dinners. Guests really enjoyed their food, and the staff was professional and very polite.

Café O-Lei did a great job as our caterers for our wedding. Unfortunately, we didn’t get a lot of time to eat and sample everything but from what we did eat and from our guests said, the food was delicious! The staff was very attentive, professional, and welcoming. We see why Lori over at Tropical Maui Weddings always recommends them!

“Best food I’ve ever had at a wedding!” We had multiple guests tell us after dinner and even days after our wedding, and we agree! Every plate was delicious. Café Ole had fantastic food which was accompanied by clean, professional service! We couldn’t have been happier with our reception dinner. Rave reviews!

When our coordinator sent us menus to look through we knew we wanted a buffet style wedding. We liked the idea of the food being available for guests to choose between. Cafe O'Lei had an INCREDIBLE buffet menu with so many different options. I have been to many weddings and let me tell you, the food is never something I am awe struck about just because it's never absolutely amazing but when guests raved about our wedding in the days after, the first things out of their mouths were "Oh my gosh the food was AMAZING!" etc. I was SO happy to hear this. I knew it was amazing since I ate it as well but hearing that from guests is a huge plus. You know they ate well and that is a big bonus because you are throwing this party! Cafe O'Lei's set up was beautiful. The servers were so lovely and kind. The appetizers we chose were different and to die for with flavor. The chef made sure we had food packed up to eat when we got home. They were all such lovely people and we so appreciated everything they did for us! We chose the Hawaiian Luau Buffet. It was EXCEPTIONAL. If you are getting married on Maui- choose Cafe O'Lei- they will not disappoint. We didn't even taste test first and had full confidence in them. We chose WELL. Thank you Cafe O'Lei!

Highly recommend Cafe O' Lei! We did a buffet at our wedding and chose each food option. The food was amazing. All of our guests were raving about it. Some guests even went to the restaurant again after the wedding for more. Thank you!!

Our guests could not stop raving about the food at our wedding! I could have eaten oy the appetizers and been happy, but when the main entrees came out I was wowed even more! We had the fillet and macadamia crusted mahi mahi and both were out of this world! The food was fantastic and the service was just as fantastic too! Highly recommend!!

Delicious food - incredible presentation. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how wonderful it was. Highly recommend!

Our wedding planner booked with Cafe O'Lei so we didn't look up the restaurant beforehand. Based on the tasty food and super friendly staffs on our wedding day we'd strongly recommend this restaurant, especially if you want to try something local. For appetizers we had garlic crostini, Kalua pork canapé, chicken satay, and crispy calamari. They were really thoughtful in saving us some appetizers while we were away taking pictures so we didn't miss those amazing calamari. We had a Hawaiian style buffet with green salad, somen noodle (a must-try), mani-mahi, chiken, pork, steak, stir-fried vegetables and some of the best sweet potatoes I've ever had (from Molokai). Most of our guests were first-timers to Hawaii and they were very interested in local food after our reception ;)
