For our day, they took care of the catering, service, lei making, hula dancing, and acai bowl station at Paliku Gardens and we could not have been more pleased with everything they were a part of. The food was wonderful, they were patient and flexible as timing shifts were made during the reception that evening, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the night went smoothly. Yarden worked incredibly hard to ensure all details that we discussed in advance of the day were translated. We are so happy we went with 1979 Hawaii for this special day and would 10/10 recommend them for any special event or wedding you are planning in Hawaii!

We hired Kalena's Polynesian Ohana group to be entertainment at a private luau we threw for a…read morebirthday party at a rental house in Haleiwa. I didn't really have any idea what to expect for a private luau and I was very happy with the performance. It included a few female hula dancers, a male fire dancer, one MC and one musician. The audience participation was just the right amount, and nobody felt put on the spot. The MC was enthusiatic and personable and did a nice job honoring the birthday woman. Because rain is common on the North Shore, they were well prepared and brought a tent for the MC and musician. The show was maybe 30 minutes and I would definitely recommend them for a private party. We had a great time!

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Vanessa and her team for our wedding. From the very first…read moreconversation--with her and our wonderful planner Emmarose from TGA--we knew we were in the best hands. Vanessa has this amazing ability to really listen, understand what you're dreaming of, and then somehow elevate it into something even more beautiful. She tuned into our vision so quickly, and what she delivered was beyond anything we could have imagined. The level of detail, care, and artistry she brought to our day was unreal. Every arrangement, every installation, every little touch felt intentional and full of heart. And wow, did she and her team work hard. We had a lot of moving pieces and some pretty large displays, and they handled everything with such professionalism and grace. You could truly feel the passion they put into their work. If you're looking for a floral and design team in Hawaii that not only brings incredible creativity but also genuinely cares about making your day special, look no further.

I highly recommend Party Time Hawaii for any and all of your future events!…read more I first reached out to Dave about a week before my sons 1st birthday party. I was worried they wouldn't have availability since it was so last minute, but we were able to book with him! His replies were always very fast (within 20 minutes) and he made the booking process so quick and easy. Their prices are very reasonable as well! On the day of the party, they arrived early to set up. We booked them for balloon twisting and airbrush tattoos and all our guests, both children and adults, loved them! Their work was very beautiful and all the kids kept lining back up for more. It was adorable seeing all the tattoos and balloons everywhere! They were so great with the kids and all our guests had so much fun. Dave made my son a Winnie the Pooh balloon and he absolutely loved it. The sweet woman working with Dave (unfortunately I forget her name, my brain was all over the place at the time) made my son a little turtle balloon bracelet and he was obsessed with it! She also asked for my favorite color, and then made me a rose balloon in that color! She actually walked all the way across the room to hand them to us both times. They were both very sweet people! All in all, I'm so happy with this whole experience from beginning to end! Thank you Party Time Hawaii, I highly recommend!

Our group loved the mix of classic and locally inspired pupu. Example: Brie cheese Mac nut wonton with tropical marmalde, caprese skewers with balsamic drizzle, kalbi with kimchee aioli - so, so ono! The mini cheesecake bites were truly eye candy and super-tasty. My colleagues all wanted to know how we found this gem of a catering service. Last year, our budget was so limited that we had almost given up on finding a catering service that would work with us. Not The Catering Connection. They helped us have a spread of six different appetizers, all beautifully presented, delicious, and creative with our limited resources. If you want to support a local family business with your event, don't look any further. This place is professional, service-oriented, and genuinely nice.
