Delicious food!

Sugar Beach Events catered my wedding at Maui Pineapple Chapel in June. My guests are STILL talking about the delicious food that was served! I was so impressed with the entire process—they were very communicative throughout planning, responding promptly to my questions via my planner. Our tasting was really thorough and beautifully presented. We did choose a few of the dishes, but what really impressed me was that they agreed to serve a dish that was not included in the tasting, nor did it appear on their online menu. I really wanted Kalbi ribs on my wedding day and they agreed to make it especially for us! My guests got to choose between a really delicious fish dish and the ribs and everyone said it was absolutely divine. On wedding day, I was really impressed by the staff that was in attendance. While I was getting touched up before family photos, a very sweet staff member came to the bridal suite to make sure I was able to eat one of the passed appetizers since I wouldn’t get much time during cocktail hour. During dinner, everyone got plenty to eat and my guests were raving about the food. I knew at the tasting that I was making the right decision in hiring Sugar Beach Events to cater my wedding, but they exceeded every expectation I had! Thank you so much for giving my guests delicious food on my wedding day!

Everything was Perfect

Sugar Beach Events was at the top of our list to choose for our destination wedding before the pandemic. It was a lot of discussion and planning to decide whether it would be a good idea to hold a wedding during this time. I'm so glad we went for it and everything fell in to place. The location, service and people are all amazing. It was hard to pass this up. We plan to visit during their off days to join in their other services. I highly recommend SBE for your next destination wedding.

Dream Wedding

Our magical day went so smoothly from start to finish. Kristen responded to our many questions immediately, sometimes late in the evening.

The grounds were impeccable and oh that sunset view for our special day. The interior, bar and grounds are so stunning. If you are planning a wedding or special event, this is the spot.

The bridal suite was so tastefully done, providing a professional steamer and wet bar for make up or hand washing.

The champagne list was amazing as well as the desserts created by Chef Lee. . The sever was spot on, making our guests feel comfortable and safe.

Sugar Beach events will always hold a sacred place in our hearts!

Amazing Experience

My husband and I recently got married at Sugar Beach. We had such an amazing experience from the start working with Kristen and Ashley. We got engaged in Kauai and when we came back to California and looked at some venues and we could not find any that felt right, so we decided to look at venues in Hawaii. We finally decided on Sugar beach after reading so many good reviews, as well as speaking with Ashley and looking at everything they were going to offer us. As we all know its so difficult to book and make decisions from so far away, but Kristen walked us through every step and gave us a time line and advice as we started moving forward. She made the process seem seamless.
Our day from start to finish was absolutely beautiful. We cannot imagine having to have gotten married anywhere else. The venue is beautiful, the setting for the ceremony is breathtaking, the food is delicious and as I have said the service is amazing! We would definitely recommend this venue to any person who is considering it.

Dream Wedding

Thank you so incredibly much to Kristen and the Team @ Sugar Beach Events, My wedding was a month ago, and my family and friends have not stopped talking about the amazing time they had at my wedding. They were so impressed by EVERYTHING, the food, drinks, friendliness of staff, and most important, the location. What first caught my eye, when researching wedding venues, was the breathtaking view @ Sugar Beach Events and the moment i saw it in person i knew it was it! Kristen and Gabrielle were amazing, they made me like i was their priority each time i reached out to them, always getting back to me same day, no matter what! I thought planning a wedding from the stats would be a challenge, but it was quite the opposite. I never once felt overwhelmed or stressed out, in any way. I can honestly say, Kristen, the best wedding planner ever, made my dream wedding absolutely perfect, and i can not thank her enough. She is so considerate, has an amazing personality, and truly cares about her clients. There is not one thing i would change. If someone if thinking about having a destination wedding, then Sugar Beach Events is their place, they will not be disappointed.

Wedding of our Dreams

The entire process was easy and enjoyable from the minute I reached out to Sugar Beach Events for our wedding- not to mention BEAUTIFUL! Looking back on the wedding day, it seems like something out of a magazine! Kristen, Gabrielle and Ashley were so quick to respond and were beyond patient with our 10,000 questions and requests. Kristen always took the time to listen to my vision and her suggestions exceeded expectations. The day of the wedding, every single Sugar Beach Events staff person and vendor was amazing, attentive, and professional. It was more than we could have ever imagined! Not to mention the quality of food that was served- every item was delicious and perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend the team at Sugar Beach Events!
