Demming was incredibly helpful, responsive, and communicative, and the balloon bouquet she put together was a huge hit! Then I was working on an even more special surprise. My daughter and son-in-law are expecting their first baby, and I wanted to create a special gift that would also reveal the baby's gender. I had contacted a couple of stores directly without any luck, and even the resort gift shop wasn't able to help. So I called Demming, explained my idea, and asked if it was something she could possibly do. My idea was simple: an Aloha shirt for my son-in-law, along with a matching baby-sized shirt, so that when he opened the gift he would discover they were having a boy. Demming didn't just make it happen, she took my idea to an entirely different level! She did all the shopping, found the perfect Aloha shirt for my son-in-law, and then found an adorable baby outfit with little shorts to match. She creatively wrapped everything so that his shirt was on top, with the baby's outfit tucked underneath in tissue paper, along with the sweetest card that said, "Surprise! It's a boy!" And because it was also his birthday, she cleverly disguised the whole thing as a birthday present! What made this experience so special was Demming herself. From our very first conversation, I could tell that she genuinely cared about making this surprise wonderful. She was excited about the idea, enthusiastic about helping, and clearly wanted to make the moment just as special as I did. I was thousands of miles away on the mainland, but Demming made me feel like I had someone there who was personally invested in making this incredibly important family moment perfect. The surprise was absolutely fabulous, and I am so grateful to Demming for helping create such a special memory for my daughter and son-in-law. If you need someone in Lahaina who will go above and beyond, think creatively, and truly care about making your surprise special, call Demming. You will not be disappointed!

The Nibble and Nourish team was responsive to my questions and accommodated a request to allow space for the bride's favorite Wisconsin cheese. On the wedding day, they arrived early and helped to select a spot for the table before getting to work creating a gorgeous spread. The guests loved the selections they chose and I overheard many people exclaiming over the creative and delicious meats, cheeses, and fruits the team selected. The Nibble and Nourish team stayed around to answer guests questions about the food and make recommendations. I was able to try a few things and fell in love with a locally made mango-ginger cheese -- so delicious! After the happy guests had departed for the reception, the team boxed up the leftovers and stored them for us. We brought the leftovers to the post-wedding beach bbq the next day! Overall it was a 5-star experience!

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.

I just had the pleasure of dining in a friend's private birthday event and am so sad it's over! Absolutely incredible! I didn't realize food could taste that good. Who knew salads could be more than just boring lettuce!? I'm talking fresh watermelon, burrata, beets, grilled peaches, watermelon radishes, and balsamic. What!? The last time I ate something so colorful (willingly) was a bag of skittles. You have no idea. Un-freaking-believable. And then the actual dinner came. Bok choy, seared ahi, and some kind of buttery sauce that was made from angel's tears. Or maybe unicorn sweat? I don't know, but it was a smooth, silky realization that I have no skill in the kitchen. At least not in comparison. No matter what the occasion, I will forever hire RJ Gourmet Maui. Seriously. The best meal I've ever had...and I lived in France for a year. Just saying.

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.

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.
