    Unforgettable Wedding Day Made Magical by Aloha on the Rocks

    Aloha on the Rocks made our wedding day truly unforgettable! They provided outstanding day-of coordination, bartending services, catering, shave ice, and so much more. From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly despite unexpected challenges.

    Shaun Henderson, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with in the weeks leading up to our big day. He meticulously organized our timelines and layouts and provided a detailed document outlining what went on each table during the pre-ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. His attention to detail and clear communication gave us so much peace of mind.

    The food was absolutely rave-worthy. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was! The...

    5 Stars in Every Way

    Shaun and the Aloha on the Rocks team went above and beyond to make sure we were organized and on schedule. We couldn’t have had a better experience anywhere else. The food was incredible as well! I heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests too. Shaun went the extra mile to make sangria for us the night before our wedding. He helped with multiple variations of seating charts and answered every question we had. You can tell he truly cares about making these weddings great. We paid for the day of coordinator and got Steph, who was HUGE on our wedding day. She kept everything flowing, suggested photo opportunities, all of it. She was a rockstar!

    Amazing food & service

    We loved having Aloha On The Rocks cater our wedding. The service was amazing the entire time - from planning to scheduling the tasting to executing at our wedding.
    The guests all loved the food too!
    Highly recommend Aloha On The Rocks.

    Best bartenders we could ask for

    Aloha on the rocks did an amazing job helping us create our signature cocktails! We brought in our own margarita and mai tai recipes (with our homemade syrups) and Aloha on the Rocks created our cocktails just like we would create if we had our guests over in our home. They were also so friendly, and professional, and received rave reviews from all of our guests. Highly, highly recommend!

    Exceptional!

    I am so glad I picked Aloha On The Rocks to be my caterer and provide the shave ice bar for my wedding! I just got married on Memorial Day Weekend with a beachside ceremony and beautiful reception. All my guests were RAVING about the cute shave ice. I even was fed some shave ice as the bride because it was instantly cooling and refreshing in the Hawaii sun. It was so nice seeing pops of color in guests’ hands as they enjoyed these treats during cocktail hour. The wait staff was amazing because they helped serve my appetizers and made sure the bride and groom were fed too!!! Shaun the owner was great to work with. The menu...

    Shaun was awesome!!! I don't think you will be able to find better service or value on the island!! He was so great to work with! He was thorough, very reliable and hard-working. He was so helpful in providing me with information and advice on anything and everything bar related! He also helped us create specialty drinks for our wedding, which were so delicious! We received tons of compliments on them!! He followed through with all of the details we discussed and went above and beyond. He also now offers shaved ice, which is amazing!! All of the vendors that we worked with knew Shaun and spoke very highly of him! We were so pleased! I would recommend Aloha...

    Perfect day!

    We hired Aloha on the Rocks for their catering, bar and coordination services. We were really looking for a one stop shop for our wedding. We are soooo glad we went with Aloha on the Rocks! Shaun helped with all the pre wedding details and was pretty quick answering all of my questions. We worked with Lana the day of the wedding and wow was she amazing! She was cool, clam and collected the entire time, even when we had some last minute day of changes to the wedding schedule. All of the suggestions both Shaun and Lana had made the event run super smooth and I'm so glad I put my trust in them. The service staff was...

    Having a shave ice vendor at our wedding was one of the things we initially talked about wanting when we started planning our wedding--but as wedding costs started adding up (including a few surprises), we started thinking the shave ice was a splurge we'd have to forgo. About 2 weeks before the wedding I started looking into a DIY option and also emailed a few shave ice vendors just to see what the prices were like. Out of all the options, Aloha on the Rocks was the most wedding-appropriate/classy looking option, so I assumed it would also be the most expensive and way out of our price range--it was actually cheaper! It was such a hit at the wedding--...

    OUTSTANDING! The bartenders provided amazing service and our guests absolutely loved them. They were fun and helped to make our wedding a success. Super professional staff who know what they’re doing!! They have EVERYTHING and if they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’re willing to work with you. From the very beginning of planning, Aloha on the Rocks was at the top of their game. Amazing!

    Aloha on the Rocks was amazing. They provided food and bartending services for our wedding. Thanks to Shauns connections he was also able to coordinate with other vendors to provide our tent dance floor and lighting among many other things. It was so convenient being able to work through Shaun and just pay one single invoice. He worked with our wedding coordinator to ensure we had all the important items. Everything ran so smoothly that we didn't have to think about anything other than enjoying time with friends and family.

    They were incredibly accomodating and helped us pick out signature drinks for our reception. We had tons of compliments from friends and family for the delicious food &...

    Shaun and his team are great! They handled the drinks and the food for our wedding. Everything was fantastic and all of our guests were very happy. We also had their shave ice bar which was the perfect after dinner treat, I highly recommend it for outdoor weddings. Shaun is very easy to work with and responds quickly with any answers to your questions. I hope I get the opportunity to work with them again!

    One of the first vendors we booked (over a year before the wedding, to take advantage of a sale going on), and did not disappoint! Always fast and on top of communication prior/leading up to the event, and fantastic service on the day of! The shave ice was a big hit, especially COMBINED with the alcohol ;). Turns out our bartender even got married at our venue! Definitely highly recommend.

    I originally contacted Aloha on the Rocks about 6 months before our wedding and was really impressed by their reply and presentation. In an attempt to cut some costs, we ended up initially booking another Bar service instead. BAD MISTAKE. After lots of bad communication with the other service, we decided to cancel them and came back to Aloha on the Rocks. What made it funny was Aloha was actually less expensive after everything factored in, silly us!

    Danielle was more than helpful to get my booking confirmed and get us all the information we needed. After the first e-mail contact we knew we made the right choice hiring Aloha on the Rocks. After confirmation, Shaun contacted me...

    We had a destination wedding and aloha on the rocks was the perfect choice for us! They were friendly, responsive and professional. We didn't have to worry about anything except for the liquor and they even helped with that! It was definitely one less thing to worry about. Thank you so much for helping make our day so awesome!!

    Sean and his company are awesome! What drew us to Aloha was that we could buy discount alcohol and they would handle every other bartending detail. We bought all our own alcohol from Costco. They helped us to estimate and figure out what to buy. Sean is very knowledgable and helpful. Stress-free wedding prep thanks to him.

    Wedding day service was just what we had hoped for- they kept the drinks coming, smiles on their faces. Great at what they do, very professional and nice. Their setup and breakdown was smooth.

    Would really recommend them! Thanks!!!

    The bartenders with Aloha on the Rocks were super friendly yet very professional - really great people. They did an awesom job at my daughter's wedding at Loulu Palms. Their service is really top notch. They provide everything-cups, napkins, sodas, juices, mixers, coolers, ice and even brought their own tent. All we had to do was provide the alcohol. It takes alot of planning, work, and setting up out of your hands that you don't have to worry about. Shaun-the owner is great, responds quickly to emails and calls - super easy to work with. The guests really loved the mixed cocktails and chose those more than the beer. Even the bruddah bruddahs was hitting those cocktails. Thank goodness...

    Shaun was wonderful to work with. He was great at responding to any inquiries we had and helped guide us in the right direction for our needs. The bartenders at the wedding were very friendly and professional and mixed some great drinks. Aloha on the Rocks provided everything for the bar - the complete bar setup, water, pop, mixers, garnishes, napkins you name it they had it. The only thing we had to provide was the alcohol. They were there early to setup and stayed to the end to breakdown. For the cost of the bar and what they provided for us they cannot be beat!

    We hired Aloha on the Rocks to take care of our bar service for our wedding and we also added their all natural shave ice service from HOPA. I deceided to rent his fancier bar and cocktail tables, as I had seen pictures on the website and loved them! It definitely gave my reception a touch of elegance- the owner said he handcrafted the bar and cocktail tables himself! Shaun was easy to work with when we were discussing the types of drinks we wanted and he helped us come up with signature cocktails that represent my husband and I's style. The bartender that night was on time, professional, and very friendly to our guest-- i don't drink alot,...

    Aloha on the Rocks provided our bar for our wedding at Lanikuhonua. They were responsive, professional, friendly and a good value. We provided our own alcohol and cups since I wanted clear cups and not white ones.
    You can customize the alcohol you serve and Aloha on the Rocks assisted us in selecting specialty cocktails as well. Thank you for making our wedding fun! Great service!

    We used Aloha on the Rocks to have a shave ice station at our wedding at Kualoa Ranch. Our wedding planner did most of the organization but it was really easy to book, pay and re confirm all the details. They happily brought a few extra things that we needed and were polite and friendly to all our guests. Everyone was so excited to try shave ice and it was a great addition to our wedding! Thanks a lot! Lucy & Charlie 10.22.16

    The groom's friends and family drink a lot so we knew we needed alcohol. At first we thought we might just set out kegs and drinks in coolers and leave it out, but we decided a couple months before to contract with Aloha on the Rocks. We added on some signature drinks and they were a hit! We had a lot of leftover alcohol though as we didn't realize that the venue being up Tantalus (or going down a mountain on a windy road) would hinder people from drinking as much. We had one bartender, the bar was set up nicely and the drinks were made fast and tasted good. We may not have needed this service, but it was one less thing to think about.
