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.

The menu offers Greek specialties, pasta, a mix of continental entrees, & a variety of sandwiches. I had the skordalia appetizer, which comes with a generous helping of this wonderful potato-garlic dip served with pita bread & garnished with Kalamata olives & pepperocini. Consulting with my friendly server Chloe, I decided on moussaka, a beef, eggplant & potato casserole with both a tomato-based sauce & a bechemel topping. It was even better in leftover form! The portion was large, & the flavors & textures married well. Each element was distinguished, & not mushy at all. Fresh-baked bread is served when you sit down. The decor is inviting & invokes the blue themes seen so often in Greece. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is lack of liquor options. Call ahead & see if they mind if you bring your own. I didn't think of that ahead of time. Good wishes to this establishment.

We got married on February 26, 2011 and I must give a hearty shout out to our wedding planner…read moreMarlene Mira, of Mira Mira Events. When my husband and I began planning our wedding we thought we could do everything ourselves. Afterall, my husband grew up on Kauai and I'd been there to visit several times. We'd both visited the venue we'd selected before. What was left to do? We wanted a really simple wedding. Why would we pay someone to plan things when we could do it ourselves? Well, I found out really quickly that trying to sort everything out and get things coordinated was more difficult than we'd anticipated. After attending a friend's wedding, and after talking to the bride the next day about the stresses of getting everything done, my husband was really convinced we should hire someone to help us out. I'd seen Marlene's site and was really impressed. I just had a good feeling about it, compared to the other stuff I'd seen out there. And? She was from Waimea, my husband's home town. I gave Marlene a call and from the very beginning I knew we'd done the right thing. When we contacted Marlene we already had our venue, photographer and our officiant but we didn't have anything fully sorted out. We were having a wedding with over 100 guests in attendance.. not your typical "destination wedding." To make things worse, our venue owner was on "Hawaii time." a lot, which made planning difficult. Marlene was very professional and knew just what needed to be done. She was always very responsive to us and always had great, cost-effective suggestions. It was so nice to have her "on the ground" in Kauai. She helped us plan everything ahead of time, coordinated the rentals, suggested a ceremony/cocktail hour musician and the hair/makeup stylist, and helped us figure out our custom food and drink menus (all local cuisine and beers). Marlene worked tirelessly at setting up a very detailed budget and event plan for us beforehand so we knew exactly what was going to happen in the days leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day, minute-by-minute and exactly how much it was going to cost. All of her recommendations turned out to be spot on. And, Marlene and her staff were at the venue all day on the wedding day working with all of our vendors and setting things up. All we had to do was show up and have a great time! We could not have pulled off this wedding without Marlene and we cannot recommend her enough!

Marlene of Mira Mira events helped my husband and I plan the destination wedding of our dreams…read more Working with Marlene over the last year has been absolutely amazing... She made what I thought would be an overwhelming or stressful process incredibly easy for us. Suddenly, planning a wedding from another state not only seemed manageable, but rather a positive and fun experience. Marlene is such a little gem... just so sweet, enthusiastic, and a true professional and expert in her work. I felt like she really took the time to get to know us... and was able to flawlessly express our collective ideas into a beautiful, tropical wedding in Kauai. Marlene's connections and the vendors she works with are all so wonderful. They each played a part in creating our dream wedding, though it was Marlene and her team who put all the pieces together perfectly. I could not possibly have had a more positive experience with Mira Mira Events. If you are looking to plan an event in Kauai, we wholeheartedly believe Marlene and her team will create an incredible experience you will never forget.
