Set up took 30 min (to haul everything up to the pool deck and put everything together) and ryan came back for the breakdown at the agreed time. Ultra professional, respectful, and reasonable.

They kindly offered the package of candy art and Photo Booth in which we paid for and it did not disappoint! Honestly, it was such a deal considering how much work they put in with both the candy art and the Photo Booth. We'd like to work with them again in the future if there are any events to plan, they were just so pleasant and joy to be around. Thank you so much!!

We basically utilized all of there service offerings from food stations, private bar, canopy, decor, staff, etc... everything was classy and matched our vision/theme perfectly. The food and drinks were well above par and I can't say enough about the staff and how hard they worked. We are definitely using this group again in the future! Well done and Mahalo!!

Jordan was so easy to talk to, listened to all of our needs, and put a plan together to make it happen.

The food was incredible, every part of the coordination went off perfectly, and our guests were thrilled! If you are planning any kind of event, you NEED to contact 1311 events. They're the best, and I highly recommend them!!

Attending a party that offered services for both face painting and balloon twisting. My view is…read moresolely for the balloon twisting. Terrible service from the balloon lady. Not sure what's her name, but she was an older Caucasian lady. They were there for about 3 hours or so and never once did I see a line to get a balloon. Probably because 1 of many reasons.... 1. I witnessed one of my nephews trying to get a balloon and he had to explain to the lady why he was getting another one. **he should not have to explain to the lady why he needs another balloon. The balloons are unlimited for 3 hours! There wasn't a line. The lady was just sitting there. 2. My friend told me that she had to help my other 5 year old nephew get a balloon because the balloon twister refused to help him since she was unable to make the balloon he wanted. She just so happened to be next to the vendor and heard her tell him to "go get your mommy". Instead of showing him the balloon folder of what she could make, she just refused to make him a balloon. My friend went over to help him pick one from the folder of pictures . **I don't understand why she couldn't just show him the balloon folder to begin with... maybe she just didn't want to deal with him. AGAIN, there was no line. ** 3. My daughter has a whole lot to say about the balloon lady. She kept saying how rude she was... In all honesty, I wasn't going to write a review about the rude balloon twister, but my daughter randomly brought it up again after 1 month. She said "remember that balloon twister lady... she said multiple times that she needs to save her balloons because she has other parties to go to"... **again, THERE WAS NEVER A LINE. She probably saved lots of balloons thanks to the fact that the host had so many vendors!!!! Save your money and go with another balloon twister! Face painter was good!

These guys were probably the best part of my kid's 7th birthday party. I contacted them with…read moreprobably under 2 weeks to go til party and they were super friendly and easy to book with. At the time they had a deal for $365 for any 2 of their services for 2 hours each and I went with the face paint and balloon twisting. I was a little nervous that the quality of service wouldn't be up to par seeing as they were almost half the price of the competition but I wasn't let down. They arrived early to set up and immediately went to work and were cranking out balloons and face paints non stop for 2 hours and the kids kept getting back in line giving them no time to rest. They handled it like champs and I would recommend them to anyone.

I love supporting small local businesses like this, and I will definitely be back for our next celebration!

Can't say enough good things about Randy and Lyn. Lyn is so creative. She sure has a gift and I'm…read moreglad I stumbled across her instagram. It just makes you want to keep planning parties so she can be a part of it. I ordered cakes from her, and a whole party package, and we've communicated through email a lot. She's pretty prompt on responding emails. My consultations with her have been easygoing and productive as well. I totally trust her ideas and her creative eye which I lack. I'm not afraid to ask for her input and what she suggests. She has a calm demeanor, and is very easy to talk to. I trusted her after 10 minutes of meeting with her. And don't be fooled, we may be just meeting with Lyn and talking ideas, but Randy is also working hard behind the scenes! I love wife - husband businesses, and I have so much respect for thriving businesses that include both spouses working together. I ordered two cakes, one for my daughter and one for my husband for their birthdays. I ordered a blues clues cake at first for my daughter because she LOVED watching blues clues on her ipad, then she had a dramatic shift and wanted to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse like all the time!! I changed the theme 2 weeks before I had to pick up the cake, and Lyn was totally find with it. I ordered a skeet shooting cake for my husband because that sport is his passion. He was Sooo excited for it! Lyn didn't have any experience in making that theme, but I sent her pictures and ideas, and she brought it to life. She even picked the right shot gun to place on his cake. The cakes looked great, but omg they tasted SOOOOOO good. I didn't know which one was my favorite. I thought I'd love strawberry, but the chocolate was amazing too. I would purchase other cakes from her again just to eat the cake. I have a party package coming up soon in May, and I'm so excited for Lyn and Randy to make that vision come to life for our family again! Make Randy and Lyn your ONE STOP party boutique!

She does not jump around the bush, she will tell you her opinions. The entire team at F&K are very responsive at keeping you informed. The day of our wedding was very smooth sailing.

She was very calm, extremely helpful, organized, and such a sweetheart. I wish I had met Ashley sooner during the planning phase because she is someone that could be your friend! Our evening was so fun, and we are so grateful that F&K could be a part of our day.

We hired Fred and Kate Events for our wedding at Lanikuhonua since the venue requires a licensed…read morewedding planner. We chose their full-service package as this package included sourcing vendors for us, but hiring them turned out to be the biggest mistake of our wedding. 1. Subpar vendor sourcing The vendor recommendations were completely misaligned with our vibe and significantly overpriced. They provided only a single option per category with zero room for comparison. We ended up having to research, vet, and book almost all the other vendors ourselves to get the vibe we wanted at a much more affordable price point. 2. Day-of logistics & communication failure Despite asking for our bus driver's contact details in advance, the team did not coordinate with him. Our driver had to repeatedly call us directly on our wedding day while we were trying to get ready and enjoy the moment. When we brought this up to the team, the excuse given was simply, "Oh yeah, we have never worked with him before." As professional planners, coordinating with new vendors is the bare minimum expectation. 3. Rude and unprofessional attitude on the day A wedding planner should keep the atmosphere calm and positive. Instead, Tessa created unnecessary stress and hostility: a. Disrespectful to Our Officiant: Our officiant, a close friend who walked us through marriage preparation and flew all the way to Hawaii, politely asked Tessa a logistical question and was bluntly told, "Now is not the time to be asking these questions." Right before our march-in, she was openly talking rudely about him in front of our entire bridal party, killing the excitement and making everyone feel uncomfortable. b. Aggressive tone with groomsmen: During the groomsmen photoshoot, she snapped at one of the groomsmen for chewing gum, aggressively telling him: "Is that gum? You either spit it out or you swallow it." 4. Zero Accountability We hesitated to write a public review and reached out privately via email first to share our experience. Their response did not include a single apology or acknowledgment of their shortcomings. Every single external vendor we sourced and hired on our own was fantastic, but Fred and Kate Events consistently added tension, failed on coordination, and treated our closest friends and family with disrespect. Would totally look elsewhere for wedding coordination.
