I booked Destination Events Hawaii for my 50th birthday party. The party was held at a residence on…read morethe north shore of Kauai. I personally worked with Jen. From our first correspondence, right through the day of the party, Jen's response time to any of my questions and her sincere interest or concern with anything I put to her was above and beyond. Once we established the size and kind of party I was having, Jen was able to help point me in the right direction with food, bar service and a cake. The day of the party, Jen and her team arrived a couple of hours before the party was due to start and began to work their magic. They prepared the food and set a bar in the front room. As soon as the first guest arrived there was food and drinks at the ready. To say the food was amazing, doesn't say enough. As I told Jen when we were planning the menu that I had a couple of picky eaters and a vegetarian attending. Needless to say, they were more than able to accommodate them. We had a full tended bar. If you're ever on the fence with having a bartender I highly recommend it. And the cakes. Yes 2 cakes! Delicious! After the last of the guests departed, her team began to return the house to the way it was when they arrived earlier. This was a worry-free party, enjoyed by all who attend. I would refer Destination Events Hawaii to everyone. Mahalo Jen! MIke

We're so grateful for their role in making our day so special and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event!

ABSOLUTEY DO NOT HIRE FARM TO TABLE KAUAI OR ARCH AND ARBORS! We worked with the owner and chef for…read morea year to plan and execute a small wedding only to have the him turn into the most unhinged and unprofessional person imaginable just 10 days out from the event. Cancelling the event because of his ego, while insulting and harassing us all along the way. *Backstory* We hired farm to table to provide rehearsal and wedding dinner, and all decor for a 25 person wedding in Kauai. The chef also agreed to receive additional wedding items at his house with the agreement that he could keep any items that would be useful to his business once the event ended. Throughout the whole process my fiancé really struggled to get even the most basic communication from this guy. We ended up having to ship most of the stuff elsewhere it was so bad. 2 months before the event we sent a final head count and requested an updated invoice. He ignored not only our initial request, but FIVE REQUESTS for an updated invoice! Fast forward to two weeks before the event (the cut off point for requesting a refund) and all of sudden he starts aggressively harassing us for payment, while he still had not sent us an invoice. He then gives us several different invoices (including a screen shot of a calculator?) all with different amounts none of which appear to be correct, before finally giving us the right one. He demands immediate payment through a cash app. We could only send half of the amount through zelle so we sent the first half of the payment and told him we would send the second half the next day after the limit reset. He demanded that we use another cash app before agreeing to wait. The next day before the reset had occurred he threatened to charge a late fee that was not in the contract. When my fiancé called him to discuss this, he became belligerent and started yelling over her, eventually hanging up and following up with some nasty text messages. We sent the final payment that night despite everything that happened and then he stopped responding to her completely. At this point I take up communication with him as seen in the messages below. The messages attached speak for themselves but the tldr is: I told him that I was disappointed with the way he handled the situation and suggested that he apologize to the bride. He instead trash talks my bride to me and then in a mocking manner demand that she apologize to him. At this point I let him know how that his behavior had become so odd and erratic that we were growing concerned for our safety around him. His response is to immediately cancel the event and threaten to throw our stuff away. He claimed to have bought all the food already (10 whole days out from the event) and said he would not be returning any money. When I asked him to confirm that he was indeed cancelling he began to really spiral out, trash talking me and my fiancé, trying to characterize our business agreement as a personal favor. Saying that every time my fiancé emailed him that he and his partner would trash talk her. I tried making good faith offers to unwind the deal amicably which he mocks while continuing to ramble on about a bunch of made up grievances (including complaining about off menu items which he offered). In the end he took all of our money, and did nothing but torture us for a year with his incompetence. I sent one last text offering to allow him to keep the deposit money to settle out of court, which he mocked, bragged about how good his lawyer is and seemed to indicate that he does this often. In total this man took around $8000 dollars from us and left us scrambling to replan a wedding merely days before it was to take place. He expressed no sympathy, no remorse, and mocked the pain he put us through. Please do not hire this man or any of his related companies.

Every cocktail was delicious, beautifully crafted, and filled with creative details and special touches that made them feel unique. What really set them apart, though, was their team. The bartenders were so much fun, engaging with our guests, creating an incredible atmosphere, and making everyone feel welcome. They brought so much energy and personality to the evening, and it truly added to the celebration. They perfectly captured the relaxed, tropical Hawaiian vibe we were hoping for, and we are so thankful we chose them to be part of our wedding. They exceeded every expectation, and our guests are still talking about the drinks and the experience. We highly recommend Kauai Event Bartending to anyone planning an event in Kauai!
