"Gourmet Event Hawaii did an amazing job with our wedding. We are so absolutely pleased that we were able to have them by our side throughout the entire planning and wedding day process. Kat made everything so much easier on me and my husband. She was there practically from the beginning of our planning and helped us with every little detail. She is very professional with everything she does. She is very flexible and willing to help you work

with in your budget and still have a top notch wedding. She recommended an awesome DJ who did a spectacular job. She helped coordinate our food from Poke Stop and it was amazing. People are still raving about what a great time they had at our wedding and how tasty the food was. GEH is a great company and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day."

"We really enjoyed working with Gourmet Events at our recent V.I.P. appreciation party. Gourmet Events is very knowledgeable about the catering business and has exceptional catering experience with competitive rates. They ensured that every detail was taken care of and our guests truly enjoyed themselves. Best of all, the food was delectable and the sushi bar was a hit!"

"We booked Gourmet Events as the caterer and day-of-coordinator for our wedding. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that they could take care of so much more than just the food. We were planning a wedding from thousands of miles away and we needed linens, table/chair rentals, recommendations for other vendors, etc... We were in contact with a few different people at the company and everyone was pleasant and they were quick to answer the many questions that we had. They never kept us waiting long. Hiring the services of a day-of-coordinator is a "MUST" if you are planning a destination wedding. Kat did a great job at contacting our vendors and establishing a time line that worked perfectly for us. We highly recommend this company for anyone's catering needs."

"I have to commend Gourmet Events Hawaii for their unbelievable spread they put on for a Women's Fund event. The food was so yummy and well exceeded my expectations. Seafood dishes were some of the best I have had and the desserts! Fresh lilikoi marangue cookies were melt in your mouth good - I had to eat about a dozen. The service was also amazing - they even helped our wine sponsor with service which was above and beyond. All of this was done as a contribution to the fund. So, not only are they making great food they are doing good for the community as well."

"Marina and the team at Gourmet Events Hawaii did an amazing job for our private dinner that far exceeded any expectations.  There was no job too big or too small, and with only 36 hours notice, Marina and the team were able to not only provide us with an excellent meal, but created an atmosphere that made for an unforgettable evening.  The staff was beyond helpful, kind, and courteous.  I would recommend them without a second’s hesitation to anyone trying to throw any sized gathering, and would go nowhere else for catering in the future in Hawaii."

"My wife and I were recently married in Hawaii and Gourmet Events Hawaii catered our event.  Kat, Chef Elmer Guzman (Poke-Stop) and the rest of the GEH team provided a truly exceptional experience!  Their professionalism, attention to detail, flexibility, and excitement made it a pleasure to work with them.  As we were planning our wedding remotely, the potential stresses were daunting.  Kat took charge in liaising with all other vendors to ensure that we had all bases covered, effectively diffusing our worries.  She made sure our vision was realized - all the way down to the small details.

Chef Elmer Guzman, and his team at Poke-Stop created an outstanding array of cuisine.  As many guests were vegetarian, the menu called for a variety of options, and Chef did not disappoint!  All elements of the meal worked well together, from the gourmet seafood bar to the Asian-fusion stations to the desserts.

If you are looking for a catering company that you can trust to do the very best, Gourmet Events Hawaii is it. Kat and her team are fantastic at what they do, and Chef Elmer Guzman is simply amazing."

"Oahu Wedding had the pleasure of partnering with Gourmet Events Hawaii for a wedding on January 1, 2010. If this wedding is any indication of what the rest of the year holds, it is going to be a great one! GEH surpassed all of our expectations and we believe they rank among the best in catering services in Hawaii. We were impressed by their top notch service and food quality, and their incredible attention to detail. It was wonderful partnering with a hands-on caterer who shares the same desire for excellence and flawless execution. This excellence shined through with everyone on their team. Bravo Kat, Chef Elmer, Nancy and crew!"

"To say that we had a great experience with Gourmet Events would be an understatement. The planning process was very well facilitated by Kat and Nancy.  Both worked within our budget and still delivered a wonderful memorable celebration.  It just couldn't get any better than that.  They communicated with us in a timely manner, and made great suggestions in making our special day unforgettable.

The food was ONO!!  Chef Elmer rocks!!! For someone who has so much passion for food and for what he creates, it must be good.  All of our guests were so impressed and are still raving about the food.  The wait staff and the bartenders were awesome.  We really appreciate the great service, and the fact that they served us the buffet food and made sure that we ate.

The flowers were gorgeous and elegant.  Jeff, you are just fabulous! Anyone who's getting married should not even waste their time in finding caterers.  Hands down, Gourmet Events Hawaii  and Poke Stop is the way to go. Much Mahalo!!!  We couldn't thank you all enough for making our wedding the way we envisioned it to be."

"I could not have been happier with the service provided by Gourmet Events Hawaii as they handled my 4 star international general officer dinner with ease and professionalism. In my line of work, I arrange hundreds of events each year for the Army and the first time we used Kat and the team, people kept asking for weeks about getting the number for the company because they were so impressed by the food quality, as well as the beautiful table arrangements. I will definitely use you all again!"
