  people were RAVING about the food.

  I've sure all of us have been to weddings that the food was only subpar. The Catering Connections was the complete opposite! everyone was still talking about the food MONTHS after the wedding. & the team of people they brought to help with our wedding were OUTSTANDING! Sherese was an absolute gem to work with! she answered all our questions in a timely fashion & helped us with securing alcohol for our big day. thank you so much The Catering Connections for making our big day a success!

  Beautiful presentation

  We received many compliments on how good the food was. More specifically, the passed appetizers (sushi shooters and kalua burgers) and the crispy chicken chunks. We did family style for 120 people. The portions were a little on the small side, but the presentation of everything was beautiful.

  5 Star Service and Delicious Food!!

  Ally from The Catering Connections answered all our catering needs from unlimited emails, phone calls and text. We had multiple chefs to choose from and we chose chef Grant Sims to cater our wedding day. On our visit to Hawaii, it was no hassle to make an appointment for food tasting with him. We were able to select many dishes to taste test and they were all delicious! The reason we decided to have a buffet on our wedding day was so that our guests can enjoy all sorts of dishes. If only I was able to enjoy all of them on my wedding day. My mouth is salivating as I type this review and getting hungry from the thought of the scrumptious food. Mahalo Ally and Chef Grant for making our guests happy and full from your delicious dishes! -The Briones

  Had a great experience working with the folks at Catering Connection, thank you all so much for making our special day (7/7/18) as truly special as it was!! We booked with CC for both food and rentals, and so happy that we did. We planned our wedding ourselves and I don't think we could have done it as nicely if not for CC. Right away Ally proposed all the necessary items we might need to rent and even mocked up a layout for us! I instantly felt like I was in good hands, and my decision was made easier.
  The team at Catering Connection was well known to our venue (Kualoa Ranch) as well as some of the other vendors we worked with, so that made things work more smoothly too.
  The tasting that we had was wonderful: we were served almost everything that we requested, and then some! It was so nice to have the staff's full attention during the tasting too (we had done other tastings in group settings, the dedicated session with CC was great!).
  The night before our wedding I got a call from Ryan that there was a wedding that they serviced at our site that day and if I wanted, they would leave the tent in place from that service. This was so nice, and I am SO GLAD that it worked out that way! The tent that we got to use (at NO extra cost) was a huge clear-top tent with nice hanging lights throughout. I couldn't have imagined anything better than what that tent gave us: space to fit everything underneath (all tables, dance floor, bar, DJ, games, etc.) and a beautiful ambiance!
  The food at the reception was GREAT! We are STILL getting compliments on the food that we had! Though I didn't get to enjoy much at the reception myself, I did benefit from what little leftovers we had. Unfortunately, the DELICIOUS prime rib was eaten up the night of! I also later heard that some of the children at the wedding were not totally enjoying the food, so the chef whipped up some mac and cheese on the spot!
  EXCELLENT service, price, experience, everything. Thank you so much, CC!!!

  Ally is awesome, she was quick with her responses, honest and so easy to work with. Chef Grant without a doubt best decision, you can really tell his love for food. We were so impressed with him when we first met. He truly cares and wants to cater to what you want. From the beginning it was such a pleasure working with Catering Connection and on the day of we cannot explain how impressed we were with the entire team that day. We had so much positive feedback from our guests about the service and of course food! Thank you so much! We were so happy with everything. Worth every penny!

  My guests still have not stopped complimenting me how delicious the food served at the wedding was! They were extremely professional throughout the entire process. They responded promptly to all my questions and emails so I was not concerned about the distance and time difference. I was lucky enough to be able to attend a tasting before my wedding and Bruce and his staff were extremely kind and professional. They were very detailed-oriented and wanted to check how I wanted the food to be served etc. I'm still drooling over their live-action malasada, lechon (pig), and many other dishes they served. Bruce was so thoughtful and kind - he actually brought over food to us to make sure we were eating all the food! (NO regrets there!) I HIGHLY recommend using Catering Connection if you still haven't decided on your caterer to your wedding!

  From the moment I contacted Catering Connection, they made me feel secure about planning this long distance wedding. They were always available to discuss the details and everything turned out perfectly. The food was delicious and extremely plentiful and the staff was totally professional and courteous. My point person was there on the day of the wedding to make sure everything was right. I would totally recommend Catering Connection to do it right!

  The Catering Connection exceeded our expectations! They were very accommodating of our requests. Everything was set up on time. The bar tender mixed up a pitcher of sangria, which was a hit. All the staff and waiters were friendly and very attentive. Lastly, you can't go wrong with Chef Grant's cooking. Everyone loved the food. I still crave for his bread pudding to this day. Thank you all!

  The food was INCREDIBLE!!! The staff (waiters, bartenders, and chefs) were all so gracious and accommodating. They were always on stand-by to attend to our needs but kept just enough distance to where we didn't feel like they were smothering us. We recommend The Catering Connection for any event!!!!

  We planned our daughter and sons wedding. We chose the catering connection to handle everything for us. To begin, I own two restaurants in Las Vegas and have been in the restaurant business for over 40 years. After interviewing 2 other catering companies I chose the catering connection based on their willingness to accommodate us, allowing us to do a tasting, receptiveness to our feedback on the menu items , quality of food and definitely the price! Sarah, Bruce, Chef Grant and their crew delivered on an incredible as well as memorable event for our daughters wedding. Our guests comments focused on the food and service and how they liked every item at the wedding. The crew was incredible and really catered to customer service. I would strongly recommend the catering connection for any event. Phenomenal job!!!

  I am an event designer and coordinator in NYC but when my best friend decided to get married she asked me to plan her wedding in Hawaii. Because I had never been to Hawaii it took a great deal of research to find her vendors she would love and I could trust.
  
  After reaching out to several catering companies and doing a ton of research online I knew I had found the perfect catering company when I started corresponding with Lei at Catering Connection. She was professional, thorough and patient with my millions of questions. On the day of she went above and beyond. The entire catering team was friendly and simply amazing.
  
  The food was outstanding. I have eaten a lot of off-premises catered food and it rarely tastes fresh. It always seems to look like it was prepared the day before. Catering connection was out of this world delicious. Fresh, beautiful and yummy. You must get the hand passed icecream treats (sorry Lei, I forgot the name of them already).
  
  I highly recommend this company! And hope I get to work with them again sometime in the future.

  The Catering Connection did an absolutely splendid job on all aspects of our wedding catering. Allie and the staff were professional from start to finish. They had a challenging job because they could not get into our venue, the Waikiki Aquarium, until 5:15 p.m. and our guests started arriving at 6:00. They helped the Aquarium staff (who also did an awesome job) set up all the tables and chairs, and then they placed the linens and set up the bar area and buffet area and all the cooking equipment (since the aquarium has NO kitchen facilities). When we arrived, the venue looked beautiful and it was completely ready.
  
  The food was delicious, which we had anticipated because we had enjoyed our tasting so much. The Catering Connection that given us Chef Nao as an option in providing the food. Two staff from the CC came to our tasting at Kahai Street Kitchen. Chef Nao and his staff did a great job and were very flexible in bringing us various options of foods and sauces and salad dressings, etc. We were very happy with those services.
  Most of all, I have to talk about the SERVICE. It was outstanding! The staff was not only pleasant but they were always there to provide whatever was needed. I have no idea how, but each time I stood up from my chair (I was the bride), there was a staff person there to pull my chair out. Same when I returned. Every request was instantly fulfilled, although there were not many requests because they thought of everything before you needed it. I have to say that virtually every guest we have talked to since the wedding has mentioned how great the service was. I can't imagine it being better.
  
  The price was not low but you get what you pay for and it was, altogether, quite reasonable for the quality of the services.
  
  We had a completely happy experience and I would rate them a 5*. I would definitely use them and recommend them again.

  What a fabulous team. caring, thoughtful and eminently flexible with ideas, dreams and themes.
  Nothing was too much trouble and every little detail was catered for and addressed with utter professionalism. We came over from Australia for our wedding so these guys were just great to work with - phone, Skype and e-mails.
  
  On the day the crew were there, quietly invisible but reacting to our and our guests every need and making it seem so effortless. An absolute delight to work with and I would recommend them to everyone and anyone planning a wedding or special occasion and require that extra little effort and skills to make it a memorable occasion and not just another event.

  A great round of applause to Lei, Chief Sim and all the Catering Connection Team. My biggest concern pre-wedding was whether the quality of food (both taste, presentation and temperature) could be delivered in our outdoor setting. I have been to too many weddings where the food was overcooked and cold as it was prepared off site, then brought to the wedding in warming boxes. I was particularly concerned as we were serving fish and lamb chops, two items that can be easily overcooked if prepared too soon and placed in warming boxes. The Catering Connection met and exceeded my expectations. The food was prepared onsite so was just the right temperature and cooked to perfection, neither over or undercooked. The service was also exemplary, quiet, efficient and there right when you needed it. And the server dedicated to the bride and groom was icing on the cake. I highly recommend the Catering Connection and would definitely use them again for any type of occasion. The Mother of the Bride

  The Catering Connection and our contacts Lei and Sean were amazing. We did not have a wedding planner but the Catering Connection kept the day running smoothly. The Lighting and tables were beautiful. The food was so delicious and the service so attentive. Our guests had nothing but praise for the food and the staff. I would highly recommend the catering connection to anyone having a wedding big or small. They did a superb job and our wedding day was absolutely perfect.

  I cannot say enough praises about the Catering Connection Staff, Lei, and Bruce. Planning a wedding in Hawaii from San Diego is LESS than convenient or easy. However, with the help of the catering connection, that process was made a lot easier. I worked mainly with Lei in the beginning and with Bruce the day of the wedding. They were both extremely nice, approachable, professional, prompt, and accommodating. On the day of the wedding, it rained the ENTIRE morning and the Catering Connection staff were on top of putting up the tents to ensure that our guests stayed nice and dry.
  
  The wait staff that the Catering Connection employs is in my opinion the highlight of their services. All of our guests raved about how nice the staff was. Also, there was not a moment that passed where my husband and I did not have a fresh drink of our choice in our hand. This was the same for the rest of our guests. There was one moment in the night where I told a guest I was going to get a water and as I turned around, a staff member was standing there with a fresh, ice cold bottle of water. AMAZING!!!!
  
  I really cannot say enough to thank the Catering Connection for all they did for me, my husband, and my family on the day of our wedding. I would recommend the Catering Connection over and over again with confidence!!!

  The Catering Connection provides wonderful food and is not limited to what is on their menu. The event I organized involved high profile VIP's. When I asked for items not listed on the menu, the management team was very accommodating and even provided great suggestions. I highly recommend The Catering Connection, their people, food and service are all great.

  After months of trying to get in contact with other caterers I finally found Paul at Catering Connection.
  We were trying to organize our wedding from the Gold Coast Australia and finding it very difficult to get in-contact with anyone and time was running out with 2-3 months left till we were traveling for our wedding with 35 guests all flying from Australia.
  We had our wedding on a property in Kaaawa and hired the wait staff, bar staff, tables, chairs, ovens etc and had our meals prepared on site. Everything was perfect.
  The staff were incredible, they were happy, fun and very friendly which is sometimes hard to find at weddings.
  The food was the best, our friends and family are still talking about how good the food was at our wedding. It was a risk not being able to go and taste or meet them before, but it was just perfect. We were so happy to have The Catering Connection make our day perfect.

  From pre-planning to event day, no detail was missed! The team was very flexible and easy to work with. They worked with us to make the menu exactly what we wanted. Food quality and presentation were excellent. All the guests raved about the event.

  Our amazing wedding planner had suggested that we hire serving staff to handle the serving aspect of our wedding reception so that our caterers and bartenders could focus on the food and bar. We didn't use The catering Connection as our Caterer but our planner had highly recommended The Catering Connection for our serving needs. Before I finished college I worked my way through school as a part-time waitress. Because I gave exceptional service I have found that I tend to expect it as well. Our wedding planner knew this and I am so glad that she referred us to The Catering Connection. It was the best decision we made!
  The servers were so attentive and professional. I don't know what type of training their servers go through but they are truly top notch servers. I mean, I was impressed and like I previously mentioned I tend to expect a lot in regards to service. If you are looking for servers for your wedding the Catering Connection servers are highly recommended!

  Lei at The Catering Connection made sure everything was taken care of from beginning to end, and made sure to check on everyone during the reception. She even made the bride (me) a plate at the end since she knew I didn't eat during the reception. The entire staff was quick, funny, and on-point the entire reception. I'm definitely using The Catering Connection for any party I need professional help with. Bonus: they bring all the tables, chairs, linens, (even tents!) to the venue. Made my life easy.
