  Professional, delicious, flexible, and friendly!

  I will never run out of wonderful things to say about Jen and Destination Events Hawaii! We first started working with Jen to cater our wedding in 2019 for our event in June 2020... as you can imagine, we had to postpone our original wedding. Jen was so kind and more than willing to work with us, saving our original contract to use at a later date. She was kind and flexible with us as we had to postpone for three years due to COVID and new family additions.
  
  When 2023 rolled around and we were finally able to have our wedding ceremony and reception in Kilauea, Jen was beyond helpful in helping us plan our food and bar setup, including how to ensure we had delicious vegan and child-friendly options for our guests. Our guests could not say enough good things about how fantastic all of the food was! We were blown away by all of it. We chose to do passed appetizers as well as appetizer stations, a buffet style dinner, and dessert stations with a bar also run by Destination Events Hawaii. Everything was delicious, the staff were all so kind and helpful, and Jen's presence was warm and inviting. We would work with Destination Events Hawaii one hundred times over! Thank you for everything, Jen! (And please forgive my woefully late review!! You're the best!)

  Exceptional experience!

  WOW! Jen and the team at Destination Events Hawaii are serious rockstars. Destination Events Hawaii recently catered my wedding dinner and welcome toast held the day prior. We were blown away by the quality of the food - incredibly delicious, fresh, and creative! On top of that, the level of customer service is top notch. I just have to say, Jen is an ANGEL! She is so organized and helpful. I didn't have to worry about a single thing! What could have been a stressful couple days turned out to be the definition of perfection. I would absolutely work with Destination Events Hawaii again. In fact, I'd fly back to Kauai just to see Jen again!

  Amazing Team and Food

  Destination Events Hawaii is amazing! The food is OMG- so good! We want to start by saying thank you to Jen. When I initially reached out, Jen was so helpful, answering all of my questions and offering recommendations. From our first email in 2020 up to our event in 2022, Jen was extremely responsive which we appreciated so much.
  
  The DEH team is equally as awesome! Leigh came to tour the property before our event and was genuine and friendly. They all work as a team and everything turned out flawlessly! The appetizers were delicious- I could not stop eating them. The drinks were phenomenal as well. I tried a Mai Tai twice at two places on the island and questioned if I actually liked them. I told my husband- "yikes we have this drink on our menu and I really don't like it." But on our wedding day, one of our friends ordered the Mai Tai and said it was soooo good. So I tried it and my mouth dropped. Best drink I have had on the island. It was so tasty and the whole night I continued to order Mai Tais. This was also our most popular drink from the bar for our wedding day along with the margaritas.
  
  Our guests said our wedding meal was the best food they had all week in Kauai! We loved DEH so much that we also had them cater our Welcome Brunch prior to our wedding day. They made delicious breakfast food and worked alongside my mom to create a menu. The whole team is friendly, positive and truly want you to enjoy your experience. Thank you DEH!

  Kauai's Best Catering

  I truly can't say enough about Jen (owner) and her team at Destination Events Hawaii. From the moment I first reached out to my wedding day, they went above and beyond in every way. She thoroughly answered every question (and I had a lot!) and addressed every concern. All of our guests commented how great the food and service was. For those who had traveled out of state, treating them to a good meal and convenient bar service was important to us. As someone who has worked in the service industry, I notice the little things, like ensuring everyone's water is full at all times, being ready with a recommendation or a substitute and always having a smile. This was absolutely true of DEH. Jen wasn't able to make it to my wedding day, but I think it says a lot about a business when the team is just as capable to carry on and deliver an above-and-beyond experience without the owner present. There is so much that goes into catering, and it can be overwhelming for a bride-to-be. Thank you to DEH for everything. Trust me, they are worth it!
