Color Catering

Color Catering brought out the best tropical flavors we could have hoped for. All of the food they provided was extremely fresh and delicious, and they were willing to go above and beyond to work with us to find a menu that works with our goals and met all of the myriad dietary restrictions that our guests had. They even managed to dress up our donut dessert so that now at least a couple of our friends will be skipping wedding cake at their weddings as well. They were also extremely flexible in terms of providing tableware and miscellaneous single use items that were critical in having our cocktail hour and reception go off without a hitch.

This review is long overdue, but no amount of time will dull my thanks for Erin and the huge way she came through for my March 2020 wedding. My husband and I were married on the Big Island just before COVID reached the islands, and in the week leading up to our big day there was a lot of uncertainty and stress about potential restrictions and lockdowns. We had already arranged all our catering with Erin, who was a joy to work with up to that point, and when we quickly had to pivot to accommodate a rapidly changing guest count she rolled with us every step of the way! Not only was she a consummate professional, Erin was the ultimate cheerleader and confidant in what was unfortunately a very stressful week. When our big day finally came the meal that was prepared was absolutely delicious and of the highest quality. Erin used fresh, local ingredients and to this day the poke is the best I have ever had! Us and our guests (both local and from the mainland) were very impressed with the caliber of the food and the presentation. We learned after the wedding that Erin was short a few staff due to unforeseen circumstances (no fault of Erins), and had our coordinator not clued us in we never would have known - her execution of our event didn’t suffer in the least. I’m so grateful we had Erin on our vendor team both for the delicious meal she provided and the lovely person that she is. Mahalo!

Erin and her team are outstanding!!!! The praise for her food and presentation continues to stream in well beyond our wedding week!

As to specifics... Erin’s patience and persistence when it comes to getting everything just right. She, quite simply, practices in meeting all hopes and expectations and will not settle for anything less!

I would also be remiss not to mention Erin’s sharp improvisational skills. She came up with ideas that you just can’t think of when your head is spinning from putting together the three ring circus, that is most weddings. More than once and seemingly out of thin air, she created miracle work-arounds to pop-up issues, that saved me from having to take the long way around. Caterer is too curt of a title to fully encapsulate all that she brings to the table. Pun fully intended!

I’ll let the attached embarrassing photo of us speak for itself, ha!!

🌺 Mahalo nui loa, Erin!!🌸
