The best wedding planner!
You must hire Tina and Food for the Soul for your wedding planning and catering! She made all our wedding dreams a reality.
From day one, Tina was always on top of everything. My partner and I both have very busy jobs, but Tina was always organized and helped alleviate any stress. Every call we had with her made us more excited as the wedding approached. She has excellent relationships with her vendors, all of whom rightfully adore her.
On the wedding day, Tina and her entire Food For The Soul team executed everything flawlessly. Her team took all the stress away. We were able to enjoy every single moment of our wedding day.
All our guests raved about the food. Some of our favorites were the pork sliders, coconut shrimp, and ahi tar tar for appetizers. The Maui Waldorf salad was so refreshing. And for the entrees, we loved the filet mignon! We also had an array of desserts that I couldn’t get enough of.
We consider ourselves so lucky to have found Tina and Food for the Soul. It is so important to find a wedding planner that you trust. Tina made the entire process and wedding day itself so magical. To top it off, she has a heart of gold. For all your wedding planning and catering needs, there is no one else like Tina and Food For The Soul.You must hire Tina and Food for the Soul for your wedding planning and catering!

Look no further!
FFTS was more than we could have expected! I reached out to several catering companies and FFTS hands down had the best menu selection and pricing. We had appetizers and plated dinner which were all so delicious! The filet mignon and Mahi Mahi, was high end restaurant quality food, in no way was this typical "wedding food". Our guests were amazed by the staff service and food presentation/quality. We had guests that do not like steak and/nor medium rare steak but they said they actually enjoyed the steak and would have it again!
Thank you for making our wedding day more than we could have imagined and providing our guest and us with an experience of a lifetime!

Our wedding guests won't stop talking about our delicious food!
We were thrilled to hear how much our wedding guests LOVED the food! From appetizers to main courses, Food for the Soul provided mouth-watering meals. Our only regret is that as bride and groom we didn’t get to really sit and enjoy everything—but that’s to be expected. If you hire FFTS, make sure to try everything because it’s not to be missed! Tina was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and even assisted with our rentals. The FFTS team made our wedding day seamless, and we highly recommend their services!We were thrilled to hear how much our wedding guests LOVED the food!

The Best Food!
All our wedding guests rave about how the food was amazing and wished they had more to eat! I agree and loved how Food for the Soul had amazing food and the wait staff were so attentive and helpful! I highly recommend their catering and doing a tasting so you can try it for yourself. I love that they had many options at different price points making it affordable but also having great taste.All our wedding guests rave about how the food was amazing and wished they had more to eat!

Tina and Food For the Soul made our wedding dreams come true!
Tina and her team were INCREDIBLE! The two biggest compliments we received about our wedding was how delicious the food was and how amazing and helpful the staff was. All thanks to Tina and her team! We got married at the Pineapple Chapel, a place we had never even seen before, and Tina made the entire process seamless and completely stress free from the start. Her knowledge about the area and relationships with different vendors were so helpful to us. We wish we could do it all over again!Tina and her team were INCREDIBLE!

Thank you!!!
Tina and her team are soo amazing! I am so glad that I had the chance to work with her for both planning and catering our wedding. We got married at Olowalu Plantation House and she was so knowledgeable regarding the venue and all of the vendors that we worked with! She went above and beyond our expectations and really made sure that the day was everything that we ever hoped for (even with a very particular bride haha)! She was always so patient and truly one of the sweetest people we’ve ever met! She made the process so smooth and easy for us and we are so grateful that we found her 🤍
And the food was amazing!! We didn’t have the opportunity to taste our food prior to our wedding day due to planning from out of state and we got so many compliments from our guests saying how great everything was!Tina and her team are soo amazing!

The best caterer in Maui!
We had the pleasure of working with Tina as a day of coordinator and using her company Food for the Soul as our caterer. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with both! Tina helped us with everything on property and made everything run so smooth the day of. Because we are from Colorado my husband and I did not make it out to Maui before the day of our wedding to taste test any food, which was one of the things we were most concerned about. Tina took the time to walk us through everything over the phone and offered fabulous suggestions, answered all of our questions, and helped build us the most delicious menu. Everything tasted absolutely incredible from the passed appetizers, to salad and main dish, to our bite sized desserts. Our guests could not stop talking about how good everything was for DAYS after our wedding. We could not have dreamed of a better experience! I would recommend Tina and Food for the Soul to everyone I know and cannot thank her and the staff enough for making our wedding day so perfect!We had the pleasure of working with Tina as a day of coordinator and using her company Food for the Soul as our caterer.

Incredible
This review is far overdue but I cannot recommend Tina and Food For The Soul enough!! First off, we started planning our wedding back in 2018/2019 and were scheduled to have in 2020. During the initial planning process, Tina was SO helpful at keeping us on schedule and giving recommendations. She gave us recommended vendors, we told decided on a budget, then she helped narrow down our options which was super helpful because we did everything from CA without ever going to Maui and had no clue what to do on our own. She is a wealth of knowledge and has amazing relationships with so many great vendors on Maui. This truly showed also when we had to postpone not once, but twice. Tina helped us move ALL our vendors back to 2022, and with minimal changes to our budget which we could not believe. She made the planning process a breeze I could not have done this without her. Fast forward to our wedding day, we had 50 people and used FFTS for catering and rentals. The food, omg, the food was incredible. We had luau style buffet with a full roasted pig. Rob and his team CRUSHED IT on the food. It was not your typical wedding food. This was better than you'd get at a nice restaurant. Our guests raved about it and I'm still craving those meatballs 5 months later. Tina executed everything perfectly the day of our wedding. Little touches of decor that I didn't even think to plan on just magically appeared, like when I ordered a box of glow sticks for the dance floor, I expected them to come out in the Amazon box because I didnt plan anything for it, but Tina even had them out in a gorgeous wooden bowl for people to take. Its the little things that you don't think of, that she will absolutely do behind the scenes so you can just focus on enjoying your day. Tina and Rob are the KINDEST people to work with and are SO GOOD at what they do. I am so thankful we booked with them.This review is far overdue but I cannot recommend Tina and Food For The Soul enough!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better service!
Let’s be honest, most wedding dinner food isn’t the greatest, but ours was so so so good! Coming from the mainland we didn’t get to try our food or even know someone who personally had tried it, so we relied heavily on reviews and that’s why we want to leave such a great review. The service was phenomenal and on top of everything. The food was beyond what we could’ve expected and we NEED the mash potatoes recipe!! For anyone looking to get any type of event catered, we would 100% recommend Food for the Soul!! We wish we lived in Maui so we could get another event catered! Thanks for making our small cozy wedding that much better.Let’s be honest, most wedding dinner food isn’t the greatest, but ours was so so so good!

A Fairytale Come True!
I simply cannot express the amount of gratitude we feel for Tina, her husband, her daughter, and the entire Food For The Soul Crew! From the beginning, Tina was attentive, communicative, comforting, and understanding.
Tina is a true rock star. From coordinating and catering, she knows it all. She offered excellent advice and helped make our menu choice! Our guests raved about the rosemary chicken and the appetizers were so delicious! The sundae bar was a huge hit!
The staff was excellent, making sure I had a drink in hand. They checked on us frequently, making sure everything was okay, and it was!
She made my vision come to life! My theme was Snow White and she made that happen! Truly! When I saw what she and her crew had done, I cried tears of joy. It was better than I had ever imagined. The red flowers, the table settings, all my crazy ideas were there.

Truly a first class experience!
Truly an exceptional experience from start to finish! We are the type of couple that need to be managed due to ridiculous work schedules and very little free time. Tina is all over it and does an incredible job making sure everything is moving forward without being pushy. Truly knowledgeable in her field with a great deal of resources throughout the island. The venue we picked although incredibly beautiful was a logistical nightmare for the average team. We did not have a kitchen, prep area, power etc. The perfect storm for complete failure… Not for this team. The set up and breakdown were executed perfectly! Chef Rob was able to put out food we didn’t think would be possible without a commercial kitchen handy which speaks volumes as I’ve managed some of the largest restaurants in the world. The bar staff and service team were attentive, welcoming and went above and beyond! Truly a first class experience! Love you Tina, Chef Rob and the rest of the team!

Best Service, Best Experience, Best People You Can Hire!
My husband and I hired both Tina and Rob to manage our June 2022 Maui wedding planning and provide the catering for our event - they are both the absolute best and we were SO happy with that decision! Tina is the perfect combination of easy-going and organized, she will keep you on top of all of the decisions that need to be made, meet with you to discuss all details big and small throughout the course of your engagement, and will make your actual wedding day a breeze. She is exactly the kind of person that you want in charge of one of the most important days of your life! As far as the food goes, 10/10 chef Rob and his team are amazing. Our guests raved about the food, from the appetizers to the main course. My husband and I still daydream about the coconut prawn appetizers! You will not regret the decision to hire Food for the Soul Maui for your special event, we wish we could do it all over again!!My husband and I hired both Tina and Rob to manage our June 2022 Maui wedding planning and provide the catering for our event - they are both the absolute best and we were SO happy with that decision!

the best we could have asked for, beyond expectations
Tina was a lifesaver in so many ways, helping us every step of the way! Our venue (Olowalu Plantation House) required a day-of wedding planner and we were already eyeing FFTS (Food For The Soul) for catering so it was a perfect fit. Tina made the process fun and manageable, helping to relieve all of my stress about planning!
We had a food tasting prior to our wedding date and were so in love with the food that my husband could not stop talking about it prior to us getting married! Everything was fresh and delicious at our tasting, but tasted even better on our wedding day. I was surprisingly on top of planning the big items way ahead of time, Tina was able to help me fill in the gaps and asked questions I hadn’t even thought of from the layout and tableware, to the timeline and the setup for our shrine to our friend who has passed. We also had Tina’s help with booking the rentals we decided on, and almost everything else involved in the wedding planning. Her advice and recommendations were so valuable for someone only doing this once to make sure it went smoothly according to our vision. We unfortunately had to arrive late to our wedding, after almost not being able to make it at all, and Tina was there every step of the way to make sure our arrival was a surprise for our guests. The FFTS team even stayed later so that we could enjoy the most of our big day. I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding not only happen but go so perfectly for us.
We assembled the perfect team for our big day at the Olowalu Plantation House on Maui, ending up with 35 guests there to help us celebrate our love. We had beautiful table arrangements and leis from Val at MauiWeddingFlowers.net, delicious appetizers and dinner from FFTS, a great tone set by DJ Dan throughout the day, and priceless help from Tina at FFTS every step of the way. The moment was captured in stills by our friend Cat, and on video by Andre at All Time Media. Despite many setbacks leading up to our big day, our team were all on the same page and able to accommodate last minute changes.
We couldn’t have asked for a better day to become one, so thank you all so much for being a part of making that happen. I cannot recommend FFTS enough for your wedding day or any event, big or small, you will not regret it!Tina was a lifesaver in so many ways, helping us every step of the way! Our venue (Olowalu Plantation House) required a day-of wedding planner and we were already eyeing FFTS (Food For The Soul) for catering so it was a perfect fit. Tina made the process fun and manageable, helping to relieve all of my stress about planning!
We had a food tasting prior to our wedding date and were so in love with the food that my husband could not stop talking about it prior to us getting married! Everything was fresh and delicious at our tasting, but tasted even better on our wedding day. I was surprisingly on top of planning the big items way ahead of time, Tina was able to help me fill in the gaps and asked questions I hadn’t even thought of from the layout and tableware, to the timeline and the setup for our shrine to our friend who has passed. We also had Tina’s help with booking the rentals we decided on, and almost everything else involved in the wedding planning.

Wedding Catering and Planning
We wanted to extend a huge thank you to Tina, Rob and the team at Food for the Soul for making our wedding exceed all our expectations. We are huge foodies and we thought the food and drinks were phenomenal and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it! The service from the staff was TOP notch--it felt like we were at a Michelin star restaurant (and this was a comment from many of our guests). They were quick to help, quick to serve, and our guests were very impressed at the hospitality. We are so thankful to have worked with a chef who is flexible and allowed us customize our menu based on our preferences and guest-allergies. The crab cakes and whole roasted pig were a big hit! The dinner was DELICIOUS! We got the filet mignon (cooked perfectly) and the mahi was so unique and very "Hawaii". Both options were well complimented by everyone. On top of all that, Tina was there every step of the way throughout the planning process and helped us with other vendors. We went through them for all bar services and cake/desserts as well and we couldn't have pulled off a perfect wedding without Tina. I’d definitely recommend FFTS to anyone looking for anything event related, from catering to full service wedding planning in Maui! Many mahalos from us!We wanted to extend a huge thank you to Tina, Rob and the team at Food for the Soul for making our wedding exceed all our expectations.

All star team!
Tina, Rob and their entire team absolutely hit it out of the park for our wedding. The food was spectacular (our guests are still raving about it) and the service was superb. They were even able to modify the menu to ensure I could enjoy all of the dishes GF - most restaurants don't do this! Throughout the process Tina was responsive, thoughtful and offered helpful planning tips to an overwhelmed bride trying to plan a large wedding during COVID. She rolled with the punches and delivered a fantastic event. The wedding cake was possibly also the best we've ever eaten (also GF!). We can't wait to work with Food for the Soul again for any future event needs - we are so appreciate!Tina, Rob and their entire team absolutely hit it out of the park for our wedding.

The best planning and catering in Maui!!
Tina and Rob were amazing to work with from the start. With all of the craziness due to Covid, Tina walked us through it every step of the way reassuring us that we could still have our dream wedding! She was so responsive throughout the planning process and had the best recommendations for vendors, keeping every detail in check. We could not have asked for a better experience and the catering was also delicious - our guests commented on how yummy our Hawaiian buffet was.

Fantastic event and catering company
Food For The Soul catered and planned our July 2021 wedding and it was better than we could have ever hoped for. Tina was an absolute delight to work with - especially when we had to postpone our original 2020 wedding due to the pandemic. She helped with every detail of the planning from menu to flowers to music and more, making it incredibly low stress on our end. She answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly, providing ideas and recommendations as needed. She understood my vision and really was pivotal in bringing it to life.
The food exceeded our expectations and was even better than when we did an in-person tasting prior! Our guests raved at how delicious everything was, as well as how kind and detailed the service was.
Rob, Tina and their entire staff was incredibly professional, but more importantly kind and fun. They work extremely hard for their clients and are truly a special team of people.
I would highly, highly recommend Food For The Soul for any catering or event needs and really hope to work with Tina and Rob in the future.Food For The Soul catered and planned our July 2021 wedding and it was better than we could have ever hoped for.

The Happiest Our Souls Have Been
Food for the Soul far exceeded our very high expectations! If you are looking for the perfecting planner and or catering team look no further 😊. Our wedding was truly magical and even better than we could have imagined- we owe a huge part of that to Tina & Rob.
Tina was our wedding planner and continuously went above and beyond to help us plan our destination wedding. She was incredibly friendly, transparent, organized, and professional-all stellar event planning qualities. Planning a wedding during COVID was often very stressful, but Tina’s calm demeanor always helped to ease our minds. She was prompt to respond to all emails and set up multiple check in phone calls over the course of two years to assist us in planning, postponing, and then planning again. We could tell how much she really cared about our day, because of how well she listened and ensured we didn’t have any questions. She helped us to stay on track, chose excellent vendors, and execute the most amazing day. We are so grateful for all of Tina’s wonderful guidance throughout the duration of the planning process.
The dinner Rob served was absolutely incredible and cooked to perfection- our guests are still raving about it! Many of our guests have even said it is the best food they’ve ever tasted at a wedding. Brendan and I are both foodies so choosing a caterer without a tasting was a tad concerning, but after reading multiple reviews and speaking with their team, we felt confident in Food for the Soul. I am thrilled with our decision; every single appetizer and dish was delicious! I would 100% hire them again for a future event.

Best caterer and wedding planner
We are so grateful and happy that we hired Food for the Soul for our catering and for our day of wedding planner. Tina was our wedding planner and her husband Rob was the head chef. They make such a great team and are incredible people. We got to know Tina very well during the months of planning leading up to the wedding. Even though we hired her for a day of planner, she was helping us organize and giving us vendor recommendations throughout the whole process. It far exceeded our expectations of what we thought a day-of-wedding planner was. Tina knew of every detail to cover and you can tell she and her husband have a lot of experience doing lots of weddings. On the day of our wedding we were able to relax and enjoy everything because Tina and her assistant took care of everything from setting up and organizing the vendors, making sure all of our guests were taken care of, making sure my husband and I set aside alone time right after the ceremony, setting up all of our tables, ensuring all of our vendors were paid and received their tips and cleaning up everything after the wedding. She and her assistant were truly angels and we wouldn’t have been able to have the wedding we did without them! When it came to the food, we were so impressed! Rob is a great chef and so many of our guests mentioned to us how great all the food was. We had a few appetizers during cocktail hour and then for dinner had Mahi Mahi, Roasted Chicken, and a vegan pasta dish. We also had late night snacks (saimin noodles, pizza, and sliders) which were delicious and such a hit with our guests! We also opted for a small 6” round wedding cake and a dessert bar with mini desserts. I am vegan and was so happy that they were able to accommodate making vegan options for me. They even made a vegan cake and vegan cupcakes. Our wedding cake was so good we already broke into the frozen leftovers and ate half of the portion we were supposed to save for our 1 year anniversary!
We would highly recommend Food for the Soul if you are catering an event or wedding. Not only will you get great food and service, you will be working with 2 people who are genuinely caring and embody the aloha spirit!

Incredible planning/ coordination and food
We planned our Maui wedding from Nashville, which made it a bit tricky since we couldn't be there in person to make decisions. Tina made it so easy for us though so in the end the long distance didn't even matter. She was so knowledgable and helped us every step of the way. We couldn't have done it without her! Everything was beyond our expectations-- the food was incredible and the day-of coordination and planning phases were flawless. We highly recommend her services.We planned our Maui wedding from Nashville, which made it a bit tricky since we couldn't be there in person to make decisions.

Great value and delicious food!
We were very happy with our choice to hire Food for the Soul for our wedding and got tons of compliments from our guests on the food! They were great to work with and very accommodating throughout the whole planning process. We were unable to schedule a tasting during a pre-wedding visit to Maui given their busy event schedule so they arranged for us to pick up appetizers and entrees for free from a wedding they were catering at Olowalu while we were in town so we could still taste everything in advance. Appetizers were some of the best I've ever had at a wedding - we were so happy they saved us an entire plate full to enjoy with our dinner so we didn't miss out on any! Must-haves include the Ahi Tar Tar in Wonton Cups, Coconut Shrimp, Gorgonzola Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon, and the Kalua Pork Sliders!We were very happy with our choice to hire Food for the Soul for our wedding and got tons of compliments from our guests on the food!
