Maya R. Sent on 03/09/2024Our 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!Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:

I had food for the soul cater and plan my wedding on December 2022 and it was the best decision I have ever made. Tina and her group were the best ! My whole wedding party fell in love with how nice and helpful all the staff were. Noah was quick to problem solve any issue that came up. Alana was a queen of organization. She made sure everyone was on time and things were going as planned. Tina is a mastermind of wedding planning and made sure to take care of every detail. Also the FOOD!!!!!!!! It was the best I have ever had. All my guest would not stop complimenting how delicious the food turned out. If you are looking for an expert wedding planner and best food in Maui, Tina and her group is the way to go! Thank you again to everyone! We will definitely be back to do a reunion in the future. -

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.Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:

Tina and Rob made our wedding day magical as well as flawless. Not to mention they were also fun to work with! We were so pleased with how everything came together! Thanks for sharing and celebrating our wedding with us. If you are looking for top notch service Food For The Soul and staff are the way to go! I highly recommend them!

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.
Thank you Tina for the most beautiful wedding.Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:

Emily Sent on 07/06/2022Best 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!!Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:
Mahalo Emily and Matt for sharing your experience. It was a dream wedding that we were honored to be apart of. Wishing you a lifetime of blessings. -

Trenton B. Sent on 07/26/2022the 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!Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:
Mahalo Mr and Mr Bloom for choosing FFTS to be a part of your wedding day. It was the best Grand Entrance ever surprising your guests. Wishing you all the best in your journey together. -

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. If you’re planning a wedding on Maui, look no further, this is your dream team!!Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:

Brook B. Sent on 05/13/2021The 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.

Kristin F. Sent on 04/21/2022Best 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!

Rebecca W. Sent on 05/03/2020Great 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!Food For The Soul Catering & Events's reply:
Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience. It was an honor to cater your wedding day. Many Blessings.
