I may have paid slightly more than planned but so worth it for attention to detail. I was putting on a female service members 2 day Spiritual Resiliency Retreat & wanted a spa like Hawaiian feel with delicious healthy food & that's exactly what I got! They provided some gluten free items upon request also. I got so many compliments on the food! We were served a full brunch with beverage stations (worth paying extra for on sight staff.) We also had a light lunch & breakfast day 2. Favorite items were crustless quiches, poke, fresh swordfish & tea sandwiches. Service was impeccable. I had just had surgery and needed great service due to this & felt pampered by this catering company. lol Thank you Sakara & staff for serving our bodies & hearts

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!!

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!!

I highly recommend Party Time Hawaii for any and all of your future events!…read more I first reached out to Dave about a week before my sons 1st birthday party. I was worried they wouldn't have availability since it was so last minute, but we were able to book with him! His replies were always very fast (within 20 minutes) and he made the booking process so quick and easy. Their prices are very reasonable as well! On the day of the party, they arrived early to set up. We booked them for balloon twisting and airbrush tattoos and all our guests, both children and adults, loved them! Their work was very beautiful and all the kids kept lining back up for more. It was adorable seeing all the tattoos and balloons everywhere! They were so great with the kids and all our guests had so much fun. Dave made my son a Winnie the Pooh balloon and he absolutely loved it. The sweet woman working with Dave (unfortunately I forget her name, my brain was all over the place at the time) made my son a little turtle balloon bracelet and he was obsessed with it! She also asked for my favorite color, and then made me a rose balloon in that color! She actually walked all the way across the room to hand them to us both times. They were both very sweet people! All in all, I'm so happy with this whole experience from beginning to end! Thank you Party Time Hawaii, I highly recommend!

First off, Cheryl is amazing and so easy to work with; she cares and is so understanding. Having her over for this party has literally been 6 years in the making (she was originally set to be there for my daughter's 1st birthday party-- but COVID). Fast forward to last year, and once again we had to reschedule (due to getting COVID). Still, she let us reschedule and we were SO incredibly happy to finally have them today. They were friendly, professional, sweet to the kids at the party and they completely set up and took down their set up without needing anything from me. Now, the cotton candy was no JOKE! They offered a variety of flavors and the favorite of the party seemed to be green river. The kids (and adults) were stoked with it. Side note, I was half expecting the little pieces of cotton candy to fly similar to the at home cotton candy machine I have at home but everything was pretty contained! Also, don't get me started on the popcorn!!! They offered different sizes (small and large) and had different toppings and seasonings! People could customize their popcorn with seasoning like garlic, elote, Parmesan, cheddar cheese, and MORE! Cheryl and her sweet team are definitely the best in the business and I will definitely book them again in the future (now--to find a reason to have them over again sometime soon hehe).

The Perfect Venue for Our Manager's Conference…read more We came back for our annual Manager's Conference at Savon and absolutely loved our experience. Melissa, her husband, and their dog Chief are so warm and welcoming. The panoramic oceanfront views are stunning. The workspace is spacious enough to comfortably host large groups. We had 45 attendees. There are also smaller office spaces available for breakout sessions or more intimate meetings. The kitchen setup, complete with a full-sized fridge, was incredibly convenient for our needs. Melissa is a master of her craft. With her event planning background, she brings professionalism, intuition, and exceptional service to everything she does. She was so accommodating throughout our event. We cannot wait to return next year.

I have just never seen some of the creations, and it was really fun. To top it off, Jimmy is extremely kind,pleasant, and great with kids.

They are always a hit with keiki, adults and Kupuna because of their amazing skills to turn ordinary balloons into a beautiful sculpture either to wear on your head, arm, wrist, back, carry around and pretty much anything you can think of. Easy to contact online and they confirm right away. Price per hour is more than reasonable and well worth it because they are always always always the hit of the party! Even the grouchiest guest can't help but smile and laugh when they create a special waist-wearing unicorn or Ghostbuster backpack and hose! This past Saturday we were lucky to have the third brother, Gideon, perform his magic and he arrived on time, easy set up, all prepared, dressed professionally, very friendly and amazing talking with the keiki. Gideon brought a large board with pictures of various balloon art to choose from and makes it easier on the guest which moves the line faster. Or, we've always asked if he can make a Ninja Turtle or Pluto which may not be on the board and most likely he can! One time someone asked for a monkey and he created a large palm tree with a little brown monkey hanging from it holding a banana! That's the extent these guys go to amaze and delight! They also do face painting with the same imagination and creativity! Mahalo Gideon to making magic for all of us this weekend - my granddaughter loved her unicorn and I loved my fishing pole and Ulua!

My BF & I were at the Black Ties & Blue Jeans fundraiser for the American Heart Association when we came across their booth. As we were at a charity event they were charging $10 per flipbook. The line was insane so we stealthily waited until the middle of dinner to run back to the booth and get our flipbook made! See how you make everyone cray cray flipbooks! We picked out our random accessories from the props table and filmed seven seconds of video in front of a screen. It was awkward to the say the least because we had to make sure we didn't go out of the screen boundaries! I was completely amazed at how quickly they printed, cut and bound the flipbook. Dang, you cray cray flipbooks! I love my two flipbooks and it's a great way to capture the memory of a fabulous night at Black Ties & Blue Jeans! Not sure how much it costs if you rent it for your wedding, baby party, etc but it's definitely going to be a party favor your guests will hold onto. Why? Because you cray cray flipbooks!

THIS COMPANY IS AMAZING!…read more I wanted something a little different for our wedding, and when I came across Flipbooks website, I was hooked immediately. I booked Flipbooks for my wedding last Saturday (7.5.14), and from the very start, they were incredible. I worked primarily with co-owner, Erica Martin. She is the sweetest lady in the world, completely professional, and so gracious and kind. Most of our correspondence was done over email, since I reside in California. Erica was very prompt with calling and emailing the entire time. She was always available and sooooo friendly every time we spoke. Eveyone raved about the Flipbook booth at the wedding. The final product is so much more interactive than doing just a regular photo booth. The guests had an absolute blast. I would definitely recommend this company for any event you have in mind :)

We rarely post reviews--unless something is truly awful (buyer beware) or absolutely exceptional…read more In the case of Fred and Kate Events, our experience was nothing short of exceptional--and that's putting it mildly. From start to finish, Tessa and her team made our wedding unforgettable. It's been seven months since our big day (February 23, 2025), and my wife, myself, our friends, and family still talk about it constantly. We laughed, cried, ate, drank, danced, socialized, and snapped countless photos. Most importantly, we were able to relax and truly enjoy ourselves. Fred and Kate Events had everything under control. The only thing we had to focus on was getting married--which is exactly how it should be. Tessa is phenomenal, and her staff is top-tier: professional, attentive, and kind. If you try to step in, they'll gently remind you to let them handle it--and trust me, you'll be glad you did. We can't thank them enough for managing every detail so we could stay present in the moment. That gift alone was priceless.

No matter how many questions or requests we had (and we had plenty!), Tessa, Henry, Midori, and Lauren were consistently accommodating, friendly, and incredibly quick to respond. On the day of the wedding, the planning team showed up in full force. They were professional, efficient, and totally on top of everything--firm when they needed to be, but always brought the right energy and hype to keep the day exciting and fun. Everything ran so smoothly that we hardly even noticed they were there, which is a true testament to how well they had everything under control. We're so grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Fred and Kate to any couple looking for a seamless and joyful wedding planning experience!
