Delicious Food!

My husband and I chose the Wedding Special #1 buffet and added a roasted hog carving station. The pupus and dinner was amazing, all of our guests were raving about the food! The staff came up to us and made sure we had eaten everything we wanted and made sure to save a plate of pupus for us while we were taking pictures! Highly recommend Keneke’s!

Kenekes provided us with amazing food and service at our wedding. We loved being able to incorporate a dinner buffet, which also included pupus served during cocktail hour. We highly recommend hiring them for your wedding event!

Amazing Service!

We used Keneke’s to cater our wedding. Keith was very welcoming and accommodating from the day we did a tasting to the wedding day. They were flexible when we had to postpone our wedding, twice. The services and quality of food the day of the wedding was amazing. We definitely recommend them.

Amazing food!

If I could go back and eat instead of taking sunset photos I would do it in a heart beat because my husband and I maybe took 2 or 3 bites before we were doing something again and the bites that we took were amazing!! Don't look any further, this company does great service, makes great food and they are very affordable. The only bad thing I would say is they took plates away very quickly, my friend got up to do something and when she came back her plate was gone. Otherwise everything was great! Thank you so much again Keith & Miga!

Excellent Service!

We love Keneke’s Grill! It was recommended by our wedding planner to use them! Keith and Miga were very responsive and they were so easy to work with. They were prompt at responding to us if we had a questions or if we needed to make any changes to the menu. We loved their services because they also provided glassware, flatware, dinnerware, bartending and cleaning! It made it easier for us while planning our wedding to have those services. Our guest loved the food and they couldn’t stop talking about it. We appreciate what Keneke’s Grill has done for our wedding! Keith, Miga and their staff are amazing! We highly recommend Keneke’s Grill!

Yes Yes Yes

Catering will be one of your biggest wedding expenses - pick Keneke's! Not only do they offer incredible value, they were very flexible with all of our requests such as moving the shave ice machine halfway through, adding a vegetarian main course to the menu, and malasadas! Miga was amazing! Our guests raved about the food, and the owner of the company came to our wedding and served shave ice.

Amazing Catering Service

Keneke's was amazing! Both Keith and Miga made booking process super smooth. We were lucky enough to be able to fly to O'ahu and do our tasting prior to the big day. Everything was delicious and every ingredients were locally sourced. We had trouble picking the menu items because we wanted everything! An added bonus is that Keneke's provide all the glassware, flatware and dinnerware so we didn't have to spend the extra budget renting them out. The package was such a great deal and all of out guests thought everything served was super delicious. Great Hawaiian food fitted for an island wedding. The servers were also thoughtful enough to make dinner plates for us and ensure that we were fed. We couldn't recommend Keneke's enough!

Amazing food, Amazing people

Planning a destination wedding can be difficult at times since you have to blindly trust your vendors and communication is huge. Keneke's did an amazing job! They were always quick to respond to emails, they were on time and served the best food for our wedding day! They made us feel like family. We had so many compliments from guests afterwards on their tasty food. Would recommend them to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
