We were supposed to get married in September of 2020, but due to Covid we pushed our wedding out a year. Throughout the entire planning process, pre and during Covid, Nat and Ash kept us up to date with the latest regulations, walked us through messaging to our guests, created beautiful design mood boards, and so much more. We're so thankful we went with them as our planners. Not only did they execute flawlessly, they were our true partners in crime through the best and hardest times. If you like working with competent, design-gifted, real humans, you can't go wrong with Nat and Ash.

From an earthy, beautiful ceremony to a full on space rave afterparty, there was no ask too big and no dream impossible. They scaled with our vision, hiring an impressive team of local vendors and collaborators to piece together every detail, big and small. Truly the best wedding week ever with memorable events + experiences back-to-back. Will certainly work with them again if coming back to Maui! My highest recommendation, they deliver all the way!!

Shasta planned my husband's 20 year high school graduation party from king kekaukike high school at Mulligans on the blue in Wailea. People are still talking about that party and how fabulous it was! Shasta came through with flying colors literally. From the table clothes, the catering, to the decor, it was first class and on point. I would highly recommend her services; as not only does she work well one on one, but she is extremely detail oriented. She will check in with you personally; making sure that you are beyond happy. I look forward to recommending her services in the future, and working with her again.

The staff clearly had everything under control and didn't let the weather affect a single moment. From the ceremony to the reception, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully planned. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, every space was picture-perfect and created such a romantic, elegant atmosphere. From the moment they said "I do" to the very last dance on the dance floor, the energy, organization, and attention to detail were incredible. You could tell the team truly cares about making each wedding special. If you're looking for a stunning venue with a professional and attentive staff that can handle anything (even unexpected weather!), I would highly recommend this place. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Sugar Beach Events was so easy to work with for our wedding…read more Chef Lee went out of her way to respond to emails from me as the bride, calm wedding guests who called about food allergies, and helped our coordinator to fine-tune details for the big day. SBE were really easygoing when we asked to make a few tweaks to the appetizer menu, changed the size of the wedding cake (and then changed it back), and inquired about rentals. It all went very smoothly. Expectations and rules were clearly laid out in the venue contract regarding costs, service, vendors, rentals and food. We had one surprise with the admin fees on the bar tab the night of the wedding but the service was so excellent we didn't worry about it. The venue is gorgeous! It's right on the beach but the ceremony takes place on grass, which was helpful for our guests. It has a lovely path along the side garden that we used as the wedding entrance. The house is quite large and allowed for dinner in air conditioning. They even had the AC cranked up in the bride room for getting ready. We got A LOT of compliments from our guests (and vendors) on the food. I had at least one guest compliment that they loved each appetizer and each entree. I wholeheartedly recommend booking your wedding or event here.

For our daughter's Maui wedding in late June, she decided to use Celebrations Catering…read more Celebrations is part of the empire of the famous Maui chef and restaurateur Bev Gannon. It was a great decision. The wedding and reception were outside, at the oceanfront with waves crashing in the background, late afternoon into evening. The food was fabulous. I'll let the menu speak for itself: Passed appetizers: - Strawberry and pineapple skewers - Coconut shrimp with marmalade - Brie and mushroom in pastry cup with mango chutney - Kalua pork pot stickers with BBQ sauce - plus a terrific sushi and sashimi bar. Dinner stations: - "Island Favorites Buffet." Kalbi ribs, macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi with passionfruit beurre blanc, wasabi potato casserole, and sugar snap peas with sesame and ginger. - "Carving Station and Salads." Sirloin of beef and pork loin, with mint jelly, Maui Gold pineapple chutney, and horseradish sauce. Hawaiian sweet bread rolls. Upcountry baby Romaine with Kula corn, dried mango, toasted macadamia nuts, and citrus vinaigrette. Marinated Kamuela tomatoes, shaved Maui onions, and Surfin Goat dairy cheese crumble. - "Stir Fry Station." Beef, shrimp, scallops, chicken, tofu, an assortment of vegetables, Soba noodles, penne pasta, jasmine rice, ginger garlic sauce, lemongrass sauce and spicy coconut sauce. - And the shusi/sashimi bar continued through dinner. Dessert was Chef Gannon's famous individual pineapple upside down cakes with vanilla ice cream (with bowls of berries for those that couldn't do the dairy/gluten issue). The presentations, serving setups (ie, marble slabs for the sushi station) and attitude of the staff were all as good as it gets. Even Bev Gannon herself showed up pre-wedding to see how the setup was going.

Even though my husband and I live in Maui and knew most of our vendors, Geraldine's assistance was truly priceless- especially in the days leading up to the wedding! Geraldine is the ultimate professional- polished, put-together, polite and unflappable! She has ample experience working in hospitality, which made her approach so efficient and practical. She and her team were a pleasure to work with and they worked really well with all of our vendors, which took all the stress off of me. Everything came together as I had hoped and nothing fell through the cracks- the experience was seamless. Geraldine also has amazing taste and vision- she brought my boho/island chic wedding vision to life even better than I could have imagined. Someone told me the best money you spend on your wedding is with a solid wedding coordinator and they couldn't not have been more right! I would highly recommended Geraldine and the team at GQ Events. Thank you Geraldine for a truly wonderful experience!!
