I'm sharing my experience as a volunteer for an organization that used this company to plan an event. Overall, I had a horrible experience with their logistics team. Every question asked by volunteers were met with "I don't know." They did not have a flow of logistics and how to make volunteers useful during the event. They informed us to arrive at 3 pm and for 2.5 hrs, many people, including elderly volunteers, stood around and did nothing. If you are an organization who values your volunteers that have been following you for a long time, choose a company that will ensure they don't cause rifts in that relationship. Contracted or hired companies should have awareness of an organization's support system and make them feel engaged and useful. GEH sent an email about volunteers knowing their breaks and even having a meal. We did not receive any information on that which was another reason I just left. Overall, select an organization that thinks about things thoroughly. Tonight, I left not inspired. read more

I worked with Lisa and her team for multiple events but the standout was for a High Profile event at Washington Place. They're so helpful and have a great can do attitude on site. read more

I have to say that this was ine of the most convenient services I've ever used. Especially in today's employment climate, and the shortage of staff, I was pleased with the professionalism of the staff they sent me to assist with some of our events read more

GEH staffed our recent party in December and I cannot say enough about how professional and wonderful this company, and my point of contact, Lisa, were to work with. Lisa was very responsive to all of my questions and on-top of all the details that made my event a success. The staff took care of everything at the party, from the bar to the food to cleaning up during and after the event. I used another rental company for the tent, tables, chairs and linens and my experience was not even close to the customer service I received from GEH. I cannot recommend GEH enough. If you are planning an event look no further than GEH for all your needs. I will use them for ALL my event needs in the future. read more

An events company with no events on the schedule?? Sounds dubious at best I would take a 2nd look before actually signing on with these people .. Seems like the old bait and switch . So very difficult to find any somewhat professional hiring companies nowadays, it's all the internet shuffle with no actual results !! They just want your information, like everyone else on the internet. Beware !! read more

Gentry and GEH were absolutely AMAZING!!! I couldn't have done it without all of Gentry's amazing, day of coordinator skills to make it the wedding of my dreams. She really went above and beyond for everything, as did the GEH staff. When I tell you that the amount of stress I had while planning our wedding was at a high, with Gentry it made everything go by so smoothly and beautifully. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves as did our guests. I HIGHLY recommend GEH to anyone and everyone! They do not disappoint. read more

Gentry was our day of coordinator for our destination wedding and hiring her was one of the best decisions we've made! We had to plan our wedding from California without the opportunity to meet each one of our vendors beforehand, after booking everything I was so stressed out because I had no idea what was going to happen next, Gentry was so sweet & patient with us. A month before our wedding she basically took over the whole thing and confirm with all the vendors, finalize timeline/ details to bring it all together the day of the event. She made sure we enjoyed our trip to Oahu and get a chance to relax before our big day. Gentry went above and beyond with assisting us to make sure we had a stress free and fun day. She was so considerate and thoughtful throughout the whole process. Like for example, she offered us to bring our wedding decorations to the rehearsal so that we won't have to bring a bunch of stuff to the venue on our wedding day. She brought umbrellas on our wedding day because it was going to rain (and it did!) She brought Mike and I drinks while we were taking our photos so that we could stay hydrated and she did that while she was running up and down the hill making sure all our guests were well accommodated. The one thing that I will never forget was that one of our guests' car battery died that night and she didn't hesitate to call her friend to come over and help jump start the car. Can you imagine that?! I can go on and on... so brides and grooms, don't search any longer! book GEH now BUT make sure to ask for Gentry! We are so grateful for everything she did for us. I don't know what I would have done without her! read more

I needed to do a small lunch for 8 people. 3 courses, plated, with beverages. Gentry and the GEH team took excellent care of me, from the 1st email, down to the last fist bump! (because, you know.... COVID.) Gentry provided menú options that fit our budget, and once we made our choice (we choose the All Natural Free Range Pan - Seared Chicken with Hennessy Green Peppercorn Sauce, from their Kau Kau box option), she made sure that everything was great! She brought the food to the venue, prepared it, plated it, (excellent presentation and plating), and made sure it all looked and tasted great! Gentry and Kathy made sure our guests were well taken care of, and our guests were left with a very good impresssion of both GEH and our organization! Of particular note was the Hawaiian Sweet Bread Pudding with Roasted Pineapple and Tahitian Vanilla Creme Anglaise... multiple guests raved about it, and wished they had more! Gentry and the team at Gourmet Events Hawaii are the real deal! If you want a quality experience, with profesional people who know how to deliver, give GEH a call! read more

I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Gentry and the entire staff of GEH! If you need a coordinator for any type of event I highly recommend hiring Gentry!!! read more

Jacki and her staff at GEH is absolutely AMAZING! First off, when we inquired with her it was only about 2 weeks prior to our huge event. Jacki made sure to fit us into her busy schedule right away without hesitation. At our meeting, as we explained our expectations, Jacki reassured us that no matter how big or small of a task, her team would have no issues with delivering. The day of our event, Jacki dropped by the venue to introduce her staff. The entire team was dressed to impress and ready to get to work. As soon as tasks were delegated, everyone set out to do as they were told. Throughout the night, the servers would check in with us always anticipating their next tasks. There were a few hiccups and last minute requests that came up, but every situation was handled very calmly and professionally. It was a really tough gig but no one complained. I am happy to report that every server was hardworking and very easy to work with. Not only were we grateful for the GEH team, but the guests were satisfied with their service as well. We were getting compliments all night! I would highly recommend GEH to anyone looking for top notch service. Huge mahalo to Jacki and the rest of the GEH team! read more

When I was planning my wedding I reached out to a couple of different catering companies on Oahu. Gourmet Events was the most responsive so I decided to go with them. I am happy that I did. They were a wonderful company to work with. Most of the communication was done via email which was very convenient. My event was October 6th and it was PERFECT. Everything flowed wonderfully according to the timeline provided by Gourmet Events. The three staff who worked at the wedding were WONDERFUL. Very professional, friendly, and personable. The genuinely seemed like they loved what they do. I would recommend this company to everyone! read more

Wish we could give more than 5 stars to Gourmet Events Hawaii. Kayleigh Fehsenfeld was our coordinator and we couldn't have been happier with how our baby girls' First Birthday Party at the Bishop Museum turned out. Where do we even begin? We were SO happy with how her party was executed and we owe it all to Kayleigh and the wonderful team at GEH. My husband and i are busy new parents, working full time with a young baby, and it was really difficult for us to get everything executed on our own. She was so calm and responsive from start to finish. Everyone was so professional. We received a lot of compliments from our guests on how organized the party was, and how smoothly everything went. We owe that to Kayleigh and the GEH team. We were especially impressed with the things GEH did that we didn't even ask for. For instance, we were so pleasantly surprised to see drinks being offered to our guests as they were arriving and mingling. Even with the tradewinds, it was an outdoor venue and warm, so we really appreciated the thoughtfulness in offering our guests beverages as soon as they arrived. That was such a nice touch, having the drinks offered on trays, with straws and napkins. Not only that, but everyone from GEH was nice and helpful to us and our guests. We also really appreciated the multiple offers we got from Kayleigh and other GEH folks to make plates for us and our relatives to make sure we ate too. I ate everything on that pupu plate Kayleigh made for me and it gave me the energy I needed! Speaking of the food, it was EXCELLENT. Chef Will made an amazing assortment of buffet entrees and pupus for our guests. We and our guests truly enjoyed all the delicious food he prepared. We were still eating leftovers for a week after the party and enjoying every bit. That was also unexpected and much appreciated - GEH's packaging all the leftover food for us to take home. That was a very thoughtful thing to do for us. We also loved that Kayleigh and her staff checked in with us throughout the event, to make sure we were happy with how things were going, and to see if we needed anything or had any questions. They did that in a way that was not intrusive and we really appreciated them doing that. Again, we received so many compliments from our guests on our party and we gave out Kayleigh's name and GEH. Businesses like GEH with heart and professionalism truly deserve repeat business and new referrals. We appreciate EVERYTHING GEH did for us, and we will definitely use GEH in the future again! read more

Wow!!! The most personal and professional service! Gentry was terrific and cared about every detail. From setup to serving a meal. The entertainment folks she arranged were excellent and fun. I can't possibly say enough good things about this group. Made our 50th anniversary celebration very special. Thanks!!!! read more

This is the second time I've used Gourmet Events Hawaii for a breakfast event at work, with china, silverware, and glassware for a classy look. Working with Dean Masui and Kittie Wu is a pleasure. They are professionals! They come on time and set-up quickly. Everything looks great and the food is delicious! And Kittie and Kat (Owner) work with you and make suggestions to keep you on budget. Great team! Try them for your next event! read more

If you get Kayla Dunn as your wedding coordinator you will be lucky. She did a superb job. She was always available to hop on phone calls and respond to emails in a timely manner. I never stressed out with her. The FOOD from Gourmet Events in AMAZING! All my wedding guests raved about how delicious the food was and wanted to know who was the caterer. 5 stars from these guys! I am so glad that I found them and that my wedding went so smoothly. read more

Kat and her team always do a great job of catering at events! The staff is always polite and well dressed. Their food is always delicious and well prepared. And when decorating, their presentation is great and fits the event perfectly. They are such a good team to work and communicate with! read more

Gourmet Events catered a wedding on my property this. It is our first experience with Gourmet Events. Kayla, the event planner, reached out to me months in advance. She visited the property and communicated the details beautifully. On event day, Kylie was responsible for day's happenings. The whole staff were incredibly professional in their conduct. I did not get a chance to taste the food, but the guests were raving about it. Beautifully done! Yes! I will recommend Gourmet Events to anyone planning a party. read more

What can I say, I simply love working events that Gourmet Events Hawaii is hosting! They are true professionals in every sense of the word and they will not hesitate to go the extra mile for you to make sure everything (and I mean everything) is taken care of. You can tell that they all really care about what they do and their passion shows in their quality of work. As a mobile DJ, I get to see everything that goes on behind the scenes at all kinds of parties. From the the good to the bad and everything in between, I've seen it all. Needless to say, they make my job incredibly easy and provide me with everything I could possibly need. Not only that, they're ALWAYS on top of things. From pre event planning to the day of event tasks, they're like hawks watching over everything and making sure everything is taken care of. I was first introduced to GEH by Kittie, one of their event coordinators there. We've worked together on a handful of events there now and all I can say is that this girl is awesome! She get's work done. A very sweet and soft spoken personality, but don't let that fool you, it's all about taking care of business when it comes to working with Kittie. At some of the bigger events that we've worked together, she was running around like crazy making sure that everything was taken care of. I think it's safe to say that, the only reason these parties seemed like they went off without a hitch, was because Kittie was behind the scenes making sure all the people, vendors, and guests were in the right place at the right time. A true professional in every sense of the word. Speaking of professionals, I've also had the pleasure of working alongside another one of GEH's top event coordinators, Kayleigh. Kayleigh and I have worked together on a few weddings now, and it's always a great feeling to see the Bride and Groom gleaming after the completion of their wedding. Simply because they got way more what they bargained for when they hired Kay. They honestly cannot thank her enough. In fact, I've actually witnessed a couple that just got married, try to recruit Kay into their immediate family because of the fantastic and amazing job she did at their wedding. They loved her that much. I wish I was joking, but it's true. You can ask her about it yourself and she'll tell you. ;) Sorry Kay! She's a fantastic coordinator. Always on time, prompt, and ready for any curve balls thrown her way. I can honestly say that among the hundreds of coordinators out there, GEH is at the very top of my list of event planners that I've had the pleasure to work with. You simply can't go wrong with these guys! read more

Xasha fierce! We love you! You and your team were just wonderful and made my dream wedding magical! Thank you so much for being so attentive to our needs. You rock. The chef rocked. The team rocked. Thank you so much! Alicia Sitnik read more

I am SO HAPPY I went with Gourmet Events Hawaii to cater and staff my wedding! I initially chose GEH because they were so responsive and helpful after my first inquiry. I received an email response right away letting me know that Sateash would be calling me and next thing I knew, I was having a long phone conversation about my vision for the wedding, our ideas for food, and what exactly we were looking for -- as well as any other ways GEH could be of service. Being an event-planning novice myself, Sateash was of invaluable service. Throughout the whole process, she offered countless pieces of advice on what makes weddings and receptions run well and spent what must have been hours working on our particular event. She was consistently on top of things and always responded to my emails and phone calls quickly, frequently following up and checking in with me. The day of the wedding, GEH was incredible -- setting up, serving, seeing to every single detail. Our guests all commented on how awesome our waiters and maitre d' were and they're still talking about the food! One of the best surprises? As my new husband and I walked from the ceremony to sign our marriage license, GEH staff were ready with drinks and appetizers on a tray just for the two of us. Such service! Gourmet Events really 'gets' what makes events tick. My wedding would not have been the same without Sateash or the other GEH staff. If you book them for your event, you won't regret it! read more

We chose to use Gourmet Events Hawaii to help staff our gala. From the beginning, Kat and Sateash were a pleasure to work with. They worked with us through many changes, and were easy to reach and meet with us for any meeting we set. Gourmet Events Hawaii helped our gala go off without a hitch. We had over 50 of their staff members at our gala, including event managers, floor managers, bartenders, and wait staff. All of their staff was professional, friendly, and accommodating to our guests. They arrived promptly and prepared. The gala flowed wonderfully according to the timeline. Their staff worked excellently with the other vendors involved. Throughout the evening, their effort to help make our gala run smoothly was evident. I would definitely recommend this company to everyone! read more

Our company hired Gourmet Events Hawaii to help with an event our office was putting on at the First Hawaiian Center. Our office manager and I were designated as the bar tenders and it would have been a very different experience if Gourmet Events Hawaii was not there to hold our hands. They had a bar kit that was absolutely perfect! It was so thorough that we could have even done mixed drinks if we had been prepared to do so. We amateur bar tenders had our hands full with just wine and beer. The servers who were there to help us were truly amazing! They were professional yet friendly. All of the staff was very accomdating, and patient. Kawika and Sateash were very very helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Definitely hope my office decides to use them again! read more

I worked in tandem with Kat and her staff last December. I have to say in all my years of singing at events I have never seen a coordinator and staff work together so seamlessly. Kat is an artist and the event is her canvas. I recommend Gourmet Events Hawaii to the highest level. read more

I am sure it will go very well this time!! Thank you Kat. read more

I had worked with Gourmet Events Hawaii since Spring 2013 (married April 2014), although I had two different coordinators (I believe one left the company), they were able to give me the PERFECT wedding. Let me emphasize the PERFECT :) Comments from my wedding guests: "I feel like I'm in a movie" "I think I'm dreaming, everything is just so beautiful" "Ok, seriously, I think I'm dreaming" Kayla from Gourmet Events Hawaii went above and beyond her duties to give me the best wedding day. We worked side by side for well over 7 months (I'm very picky and always change my mind), she always had an upbeat attitude and answered all of my questions. The day of the wedding she was at my venue at 9 am and didn't leave until all of the vendors had left (11 pm). She kept everything on schedule, and worked with multiple vendors to ensure everything was setup properly, this included (MC, music, photobooth, officiant, rentals, food, drinks, waitresses, bartender, etc). I highly recommend Gourmet Events Hawaii and especially Kayla Dunn. Oh, and the food was AMAZING! Thanks Chef Will! read more

On behalf of myself and my husband we want to say thank you to you and your excellent staff. They were 100% courteous, helpful, respectful, wonderful and just awesome! They made our wedding day just fantastic and I can not say how much we loved having them there. There are not enough words to express how much we loved every single one of your staff. Everyone was very attentive and nice, a extraordinary bartender and fantastic wait staff/servers. We will go to you for any other event we should have and we will definitely recommend you folks to all of our friends. Thank you so very much again! read more

Gourmet Events has done my firm's holiday party for two years, both were excellent! Sateash knew exactly what to do go make sure things flowed nicely, all the service staff were extremely professional and friendly. GEH makes it easy for me to plan the event and do a wonderful job of executing everything the day of so I can enjoy myself too! read more

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sateash Diehm at GEH for making our dream wedding come true. I would actually like to highly recommend Sateash Diehm who was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She coordinated everything for us from beginning to the absolutely very end and my guests and I could not have been happier with the turnout!! I would like to mention that we only had THREE MONTHS to pull this wedding off and we had to start from scratch as we had our wedding at a private estate in a backyard. Sateash told us it would be no problem at all and made a layout plan, did measurements and made suggestions that we would have not even thought of!! She was able to understand my vision in a matter of a couple of hours and was able to order all of my rentals and was able to get me everything I asked for in a very timely manner! She was there for the entire planning, helped set-up of all tents and equipment and ensured that everything went extremely well. When I had a concern about something the day before, she jumped into action, got her hands dirty and ensured that she would fix the problem to exceed my expectations! She also was there on the day of my wedding, coordinating everything and making sure everyone was happy and having a great and it exceeded our expectations without a doubt. I would recommend Sateash Diehm at GEH for any event. She made me feel like there was nothing to worry about because she handled it all which I really appreciated because I was unable to do a lot of planning because of my hectic work schedule. Thank you GEH for having Sateash on your team, she really is absolutely amazing and I would hire her again in a heartbeat! read more

GEH planned and coordinated our wedding in March this year. Their planning was comprehensive and enthusiastic, their execution was flawless and their staff were professional and "got it". We had a bunch of guests comment on the high quality of the event managers and service staff. Kayleigh and Xascha in particular did a great job bringing the pieces together (which was no easy feat, given most of the planning was by phone and email), and it was a huge relief to be able to relax, enjoy the day and leave the details to them. To GEH - thanks so much for your awesome work! read more

GEH was one of the best purchases we had for our wedding. They really care about the fine details on how a wedding should be conducted. Our Coordinator was Gentry and she was the absolute best. She helped us from the very beginning of how wedding planning should be done by giving us a checklist on day one which helped myself and my now wife to make the planning process much easier. Gentry then took all of our vendors and made sure that we got everything that we asked for and made sure to ask about stuff that myself nor my wife did not even think about. If you are planning to have a destination wedding in Hawaii and you need someone at the site with experience, Gentry is the one you need. She also helped with the wedding rehearsal which helped a ton for the ceremony. She told us that we should feel like guests at our own wedding and we definitely did. Both our families said that was the best wedding they have ever been to. There was never a dull moment. Thanks GEH and thank you Gentry. read more

We cannot express how great our gratitude is to our wedding coordinator and the entire team at GEH. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gourmet Events Hawaii to everyone planning an event or wedding! Every Bride and Groom should look no further for their wedding planning and catering needs because they are simply AMAZING to work with. Sateash Diehm was our Coordinator for our wedding day on 8/21/14 and we would definitely wish any out-of-state Bride/Groom to be lucky enough to have her help plan and coordinate the most important day of their lives. GEH was referred to us by our friends who got married in Hawaii back in 2012 at Lanikuhonua. We immediately contacted Kat and she answered all our initial questions and provided us with all the service packages they offerred. She set us up with Sateash and assured us that we were in good hands...We initially met Sateash sometime in October 2013, the ONE TIME we went to Hawaii to meet all our vendors since we live in California. She set us up with three tastings with their preferred Chefs and instantly fell in love with Chef Chai's menu because of our passion for FINE DINING and GOOD FOOD. Ever since then we've been communicating through email with Sateash and she is very QUICK TO RESPOND and very detailed in answering all our questions. Since we live in California, having to plan a wedding in Hawaii through telephone and email was something not most Brides are willing to do, but Sateash's quick responses to email or knowing that she is just a phone call away made the process very enjoyable. We can't thank her enough for all her time, hard work and patience with every detail of our wedding. She went ABOVE & BEYOND what we thought a coordinator would do for us, but it really helped that we booked the caterer and equipment rental with GEH as well so that the big expenses for the wedding were all together in one invoice. The company's preferred vendor list was truly impressive! GEH was also very flexible and willing to work on a payment plan that was comfortable for us since we were the one's taking care of the wedding expenses ourselves. On the day of the wedding, it was apparent that she made sure that everything ran smoothly the entire day by actively being involved with every aspect of our vision. Everything was PERFECT; the ceremony, food, service, decor, and weather were all on our side that day. Our friends and family could not stop RAVING about how excellent the service was from everyone with GEH and how delicious the food was. The attention we received at the sweetheart table was amazing and not expected at all. We thought it was a staff of only 5 people as stated on the invoice plus the bartender, but did not expect additional help. It really made a BIG difference and they truly exceeded all our expectations and delivered a FABULOUS wedding. We also didn't expect a visit from our Chef and thought that was very personable of him to come out and say hello. On our flight with Hawaiian Airlines, we realized that he was the one who provided the meals for the passengers and we were so thrilled to find that information out. We definitely made the right choice with our Chef to cater to our guests because we got nothing but positive feedback from everyone on how delicious everything was from appetizer to dessert. Everyone's expectations for good food at our wedding was fulfilled because they were treated to a 5-star dinner prepared by one of Hawaii's finest Chefs in beautiful Ko'olina they will never forget. Thanks to GEH, we were able to celebrate our love with our family and friends in a beautiful venue that was set up perfectly on time and everything went smoothly from ceremony to reception. We've been to a lot of weddings and can say that we were very impressed by the care and attention GEH provided to all our guests. You can really tell that the staff cared about providing excellent service with PASSION and a SMILE which truly made an impression to us and our 65 guests. We are happy for Sateash and the entire GEH team on their new office space and wish them all the best clients! :) We are sad that our relationship has come to an end, but their excellent service will never be forgotten because they left a LASTING IMPRESSION ON US FOREVER! read more

My fiancé and I recently had the pleasure of working with Gentry on creating a quote for the reception services on our wedding day. Though we opted out due to our budget limits, this was STILL an amazing experience with an incredibly enthusiastic and kind-hearted individual who wanted to fully materialize every detail of our vision for the day. That being said, we are now better off in that we can create a more realistic plan for the budget we're working with. Not only that, upon hearing that we would not be going further with GEH at this time, she was still happy to let us know that we were welcome to use their services for our (much smaller) rehearsal dinner, or their solely their rental options on our big day. Again, a huge mahalo to Gentry and the GEH team for all of their help! read more

My wife and i had the tremendous pleasure of working with Jamiee throughout the most important event of our lives so far. Jamiee seemed to understand how much it meant for us and maintained her steadfast composure throughout all the planning and even as the event unfolded. At times working even after gourmet events had already closed. The food was exquisite and bold with flavor, just as I had imagined it would be. As far as I could tell every staff member that worked for gourmet events was extremely kind and sincere, which allowed the reception to be as successful as it was. A huge thank you to the employees of gourmet events! Well done guys! read more

Many thanks to Kayleigh of Gourmet Events Hawaii for an outstanding wedding! Kayleigh handled some serious last minute curveballs that came our way. She is a real professional. Our wedding went off without a hitch and it was a moment to remember and cherish. We have already recommended her to our officiant, Simeon Den, for further work. Mahalo! read more

GEH catered and coordinated the rentals for our wedding 5/31/15. They were absolutely amazing!! I would give them 10 Stars if I could! Planning: I worked with Xascha for planning and she was great! She had been to the venue before and spent lots of time walking me through the layout and looking at pictures online recommending the best setup. She was always quick to respond to questions and was very helpful! Setup: Xascha met the rental delivery people the morning of the event and helped set everything up. We didn't lift a finger and everything was set up beautifully, better than I could have imagined. Food: The food was so delicious. Guests loved everything and couldn't get enough. They said it tasted more like a 5 star restaurant than wedding food. Wait staff: All the wait staff and bartender were very professional and kept everyone happy!!! So wonderful! Tear down: We were all in the pool during tear down and they left the place cleaner than when they got there!!! Amazing service, food, everything!! I highly recommend them for any event. I planned the whole wedding from Seattle and they really made it possible! read more

Choosing to trust the execution of my wedding reception with Gourmet Events Hawaii was honestly one of the best decisions I made for me wedding, 2nd to choosing the man I married, of course:). Xascha was an excellent planner and didn't fall short at any level - She made sure our wedding was exactly how we were envisioning it in our heads. She was an amazing communicator and put my mind at ease on SO MANY levels, as we inched closer to the big day. The menu was BETTER THAN amazing (and I felt almost annoying at how specific I wanted the menu variety to be), and the service was absolutely superb. My father in law, who works in hospitality, made several comments about the level of service we were getting throughout the evening. Thank you again to Xascha, Paul and their entire team for a flawless execution of our dream Hawaiian wedding. We look forward to hiring you again someday, when we come back to celebrate 10 years. Mahalo! - Jen & Joel (August 26, 2015) read more
