We truly appreciated all his efforts and what a breeze to coordinate and trust him to deliver for us. You won't be disappointed if you hire Cloud 9 Catering!

Kevin and Courtney, the owners, were very friendly, helpful, creative, and cooperative, so they were easy to work with. But not only were they great, the food they provided was spectacular -- really fresh and tasty and sophisticated! We had a number of different requirements for our family members -- gluten free, vegan, and big carbo loaders -- and Kevin and Courtney provided delicious meals for them all. Helpings were enormous! And they were really flexible about timing and menus! For New Years eve we had amazing sashimi, coconut shrimp, crab cakes, chicken piccata, huge salad, spring rolls and delicious homemade desserts. When they walked in with their food the whole family oohed and aahed and couldn't wait to dig in. It was so great to not cook for 9 people and to know that we were having a great dinner in Maui, especially since restaurants are overbooked and overpriced and not as much fun as hanging out at home. We really recommend them highly! Very great find in Maui. !!!!

The simple, fresh dessert is still being talked about. We so appreciate the creativity in the vegetarian option and in accommodating the children's meals too.

Kathy and I have taken cooking classes on several of our trips, so we were excited to experience a…read morefarm-to-table class while in Maui -- not quite knowing what to expect. With the top down in our rented BMW, the drive to the farm was magnificent and set the perfect tone for the day. When we arrived, we were greeted at the gate by Jake, who welcomed us as we waited for the rest of the guests. Once inside the open-air kitchen, Whitney warmly introduced herself and gave us a brief overview of the schedule. Jake then shared an introduction to the land and his farming philosophy. As a former finance manager, I appreciated how clearly he understood both the economics and the regenerative methods that make the farm sustainable and healthy. We began with introductions, sharing where we were from, our names, and what we were grateful for which created an immediate sense of community. Jake then guided us on a tour of the farm, walking us through the plants and trees that would soon become our lunch. We tasted herbs, vegetables, and fruit straight from the earth. His depth of knowledge, from soil health to post-harvest practices was impressive, and he thoughtfully answered every question. After the tour, we moved into meal preparation. Family-style, we chopped, stirred, whisked, and even made our own tortillas. The fresh salsa had a wonderful bite, and preparing the vegetables and eggs ourselves made the meal even more satisfying. To top it all off, we enjoyed a homemade vegan ice cream made with fresh fruit from the farm, the perfect ending. Jake and Whitney were gracious, kind hosts who mingled easily with the group and created an environment that was both educational and welcoming. We highly recommend this class. It was not only delicious, but deeply informative and memorable.

Went to a wedding and it was catered by Aloha Events Catering. They set up in the bridal suite of…read moreSugarman Estate and did all the cooking on site. They made the suite smell like food and grease. All our garment bags smelled after the event. The appetizers came out and was barely enough to feed the crowd. I think I saw maybe 6-8 platters total for 70-80ish guests. They served potstickers.. Which were ok. They had fish sauce to dip them in, which didn't work well because it wouldn't soak into the shell of the potsticker. I mean as an hors d'oeuvre I think you should consider things dripping on people while they dip and walk and the flavors soaking into the actual appetizer. The coconut shrimp I never even saw. The ahi tuna was a little bland. I thought it needed more tuna on the cracker. Only 1-2 people served the appetizers and I felt it was lacking for the amount of guests. Maybe they should consider placing the hors d'oeuvre on a table and then serving some of the platters so that people know where to find them and we know all the food that is being served. I felt like the bride and the groom paid for unlimited amounts but didn't see what was actually passed out. I don't think they even saved any of the small bites for the bride and the groom. As for the food for the actual wedding.. The salad, bread, and Mac salad are as you expect. The Mahi Mahi with the salsa was a little dry. The pork was juicy and moist and probably the best dish of the night. The fried rice was also good. I felt like when we were going through the line they were being pretty skimpy with portion size. It's a buffet style.. Might've been better to allow the guests to serve themselves. Anyway, there was a lot of food left.. And some people had to flag them down for seconds because they were putting away the trays full of food without announcing it was ok for seconds and not giving guests a warning for last call.. Where did all the prepared food go?! Especially if it was suppose to be all you can eat buffet?! I felt like this company really tries to skimp you on things.. Items already paid should be set out for guests to enjoy. Especially all the cooked food. Why did guests have to flag you down because you were already cleaning up before serving anyone seconds? They said because of Maui law, they can't pack food to go.. What a weird rule. So apparently all the food was trashed afterwards.. Or taken home by the catering company themselves. I guess we'll never know. They never responded to the bride and grooms inquiries. They just got the business, did a shady job and then disappeared. How convenient. I didn't even pay for any of this and I'm pissed for the people who did. I was at the event as a guest and can say.. Appetizers were sparse... Make sure they tell you how many platters you'll get of each appetizer and then make sure they come out! Also make sure they announce to guests when they'll take away food before they pack and "throw" things away. Make sure you get what you paid for.. Have a family member make sure of it when you're busy with your big day.

My fiancée and I had a rough time with a few vendors and Michelle was able to clean it all up and we are SO thankful things worked out the way they did because this day was PERFECT with her in it! She did not miss a beat and she was always there if we needed her, I miss her already! The food was raved about for days, we chose the Filet and sweet onion mashed potatoes and the fresh macadamia nut encrusted fish with the yummy purple mashed potatoes with wok fired vegetables! SO good!! They even made little mini French macaroon's to go along with our cake!! Everything was perfect! At the end of the evening Michelle cleaned everything up for us so we didn't even have to think about it, she took care of all our vendors and even had a back up plan for the unexpected rain...I could go on for days about how amazing Michelle and the whole staff at Aloha Events is. For someone planning a wedding near or far choose Aloha Events, their food is AMAZING and is not your typical "wedding" food, the staff is top notch and the professionalism throughout the whole process was above and beyond!! Thank you Michelle and everyone at Aloha Events for making our day so stress-free and seamless...and YUMMY!!! xoxo J&J

Dont even hesitate. THIS is THE bar service to get for your event. I cannot even comment on how…read moreamazing this service was. We celebrated our 10 year vow renewal in Maui at Maui Pineapple Chapel with 50 guests. Before we walked down, they served infused water and lemonade to all the guests. After the ceremony, our guests walked down these stairs for group photos and we ended up having a cocktail hour down the big hill just by the way people were socializing. Let me tell you all this team walked down that big hill and served everyone their drinks and took drink orders. It was seamless. The bar service was amazing. It was so fun. I'm so grateful. I love lychee so they made me a special signature drink to serve and mocktail versions too. Big smiles all over from the team that made everything super enjoyable. I loved that we got to buy our own alcohol from Costco and then I could return any bottles that were unopened and unchilled. This was one of the BEST vendors we had for our celebration. I wouldn't hesitate to book them for anything

THE COMPANY: Simply put, you'd hire them for professional bar service for your party or event.

OFFICIAL YELP EVENT BEVERAGES: We were treated to not only beer and wine selections but also a Raspberry Vodka Lemonade mixed drink complete with a dunked-in Shaka Pops popsicle. The lemonade was very refreshing but too light for me so I stuck to chardonnay for the rest of the evening. SERVICE: Owner Stacey was manning the bar with her staff.

My partner and I have had the privilege of spending a few long weekends with her and I can safely say that no matter how large the party, she always strives to provide everybody the most nourishing, tasty, and healthy food possible. You can tell she sincerely enjoys cooking and that it comes from the heart. Every meal she presented consistently wowed us and I loved that she played with such a huge variety of ingredients. Best part, the food aint fussy. Sure, if that's what you want I'm sure she'll impress, but where I think she really excels is revamping everyday dishes and transforming them into food tailored for the mind, body, and spirit. There were several people either on the paleo/vegan diet and she was happy to make alterations for them. In short, Chef Jana has made some of the most unforgettable meals I've ever had, and I really hope to see her again in the future!
