Highly recommend this company! We hired Gourmet Events Hawaii for our destination wedding last minute (week of the wedding, eek!). They were so quick to respond to our inquiry, were very accommodating, and were so easy to work with. Within one day we were able to get pricing, a signed contract, and were all set up. The guys they sent were very nice, well dressed, and so helpful.

Gourmet Events was absolutely fantastic to work with for planning our wedding! We initially started working with Xascha, but we were informed that her position within the company was shifting, so our new planner was Kayleigh. We were excited though that Xascha was still going to be apart of our special day, just in a different role. Kayleigh was so on top of every detail. It was so worth it to pay to work closely with her and the vendors. She recommended all the vendors for us, and nearly every person she recommended we loved instantly. Gourmet set up our food tasting, which was also a fantastic experience. Once we decided on vendors, Kayleigh took care of everything from that point on. I was not worried for one second that something wouldn't go flawlessly on the wedding day. The day of the wedding, the staff were beyond exceptional. It started to rain a bit when my dad was giving his speech, and I kid you not, one of the GEH staff members (whom I'm blanking on the name right now!!!) stood with an umbrella over my dad's head while she got soaked so he could give his speech. It was the best customer service experience I've ever had in my life. The other staff members used towels to dry the dance floor quickly once the rain stopped. I highly recommend using GEH to anyone getting married here in Hawaii. I'm local to the island- but I'm sure the experience would be just as great if you don't live here! Thanks GEH!

Sasha fierce! My wedding day was magical because of you. You and your staff were just simply amazing and attentive to all of our guest needs. You called when I needed you and made my hectic life easier.... this never happens. Lol. Thank you so much for your time and efforts to make my "big day" the most wonderful, stress free day I couldn't have ever imagined. So professional, so fast and attentive, loooooove your service. 5 stars... 6 if I could! Thank you!

Our wedding day was absolutely stress free and beautiful thanks to our wonderful event coordinator, Kayleigh, from Gourment Events Hawaii. I was a bride from California who was planning a destination wedding in Hawaii and having Gourmet Events Hawaii was a huge help! A couple weeks before the wedding our coordinator contacted all of our vendors, made a detailed timeline, scheduled a rehearsal, and made sure we were all squared away for the big day. I had some DIY things I had prepared in addition to some aspects I had the florist and friends bringing in and it was no problem. Kayleigh was dedicated, organized, and very well prepared starting from looking at the big picture to the tiniest details of our special day. The equipment we rented from GEH was all set up and delivered in a timely matter and everything ran smoothly. We had an absolutely perfect wedding day and can honestly say that Kayleigh Fehsenfeld from Gourmet Events Hawaii played a very huge part in that!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sateash Diehm at GEH for making our dream wedding come true. I would actually like to highly recommend Sateash Diehm who was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She coordinated everything for us from beginning to the absolutely very end and my guests and I could not have been happier with the turnout!!

I would like to mention that we only had THREE MONTHS to pull this wedding off and we had to start from scratch as we had our wedding at a private estate in a backyard. Sateash told us it would be no problem at all and made a layout plan, did measurements and made suggestions that we would have not even thought of!! She was able to understand my vision in a matter of a couple of hours and was able to order all of my rentals and was able to get me everything I asked for in a very timely manner! She was there for the entire planning, helped set-up of all tents and equipment and ensured that everything went extremely well. When I had a concern about something the day before, she jumped into action, got her hands dirty and ensured that she would fix the problem to exceed my expectations! She also was there on the day of my wedding, coordinating everything and making sure everyone was happy and having a great and it exceeded our expectations without a doubt.

I would recommend Sateash Diehm at GEH for any event. She made me feel like there was nothing to worry about because she handled it all which I really appreciated because I was unable to do a lot of planning because of my hectic work schedule. Thank you GEH for having Sateash on your team, she really is absolutely amazing and I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Excellent service, I would recommend them to any other couples planning an event in Hawaii. We contracted several vendors for our wedding and without a doubt Gourmet Weddings and Events Hawaii were the one's who turned out the best -- even making up for some areas where other vendor's were unprepared. They were punctual, they came prepared, they were friendly, and they were customer oriented.

The caterer for our wedding contracted with GEH to provide the servers and bartenders. All I can say about the GEH staff is AMAZING!!!! They were attentive, extremely kind, and definitely surprised us all with the amazing service; every single GEH staff person went above and beyond from beginning (welcome table and cocktail hour) to end (cleanup). There are so many examples of how great GEH was and to detail them would make this review too long (like having one server teach my husband's non-dancing family how to fold napkin cranes)!!! I would definitely recommend and use GEH again. They will not disappoint.

I had worked with Gourmet Events Hawaii since Spring 2013 (married April 2014), although I had two different coordinators (I believe one left the company), they were able to give me the PERFECT wedding. Let me emphasize the PERFECT :)

Comments from my wedding guests:
"I feel like I'm in a movie"
"I think I'm dreaming, everything is just so beautiful"
"Ok, seriously, I think I'm dreaming"

Kayla from Gourmet Events Hawaii went above and beyond her duties to give me the best wedding day. We worked side by side for well over 7 months (I'm very picky and always change my mind), she always had an upbeat attitude and answered all of my questions.

The day of the wedding she was at my venue at 9 am and didn't leave until all of the vendors had left (11 pm). She kept everything on schedule, and worked with multiple vendors to ensure everything was setup properly, this included (MC, music, photobooth, officiant, rentals, food, drinks, waitresses, bartender, etc).

I highly recommend Gourmet Events Hawaii and especially Kayla Dunn. Oh, and the food was AMAZING! Thanks Chef Will!

Thank you so much GEH. Our wedding celebrations was just perfect. Really exceeded our expectation. All the setting was beautiful, everybody was so professional, and food was really delicious. Our guests had amazing times. Since we were planning our wedding remotely from London, we had a lot of worries, but you guys made sure everything worked out so smoothly. We are so glad that we chose GEH. Thank you again.

We live in Australia, but took a very big risk by having a destination wedding in Hawaii. Gourmet Events Catering were excellent. I dealt mainly with Kayla and Kat over Skype and via email, conveying my daughter Danielle and now son-in-law Dan's wishes. All the staff at Gourmet Events were well groomed, friendly and extremely patient when dealing with the guests. The set up and pull down of the whole event was smoothly and efficiently done. This was not a very big event, only 32 guests, our closest family and friends, everyone had a great time. A big thank you to Kayla, who handled any little problems that occurred during the day so well and the changing timeline (which didnt exactly run to time) but ran efficiently anyway. I really appreciated your happy smile and the willingness to make us all happy.Lastly the food was delicious and the bar service was great. I would definitely recommend Gourmet Events
Thank you again
