A Very Disappointing Experience with Bamboo Catering…read more This review is primarily about our experience with David Webb, the event coordinator for Bamboo Catering, who had been working with my daughter and her husband for approximately a year leading up to their wedding on August 16, 2026. My daughter put an incredible amount of time, effort, and love into planning her wedding. She made wedding favors, sent invitations to approximately 250 guests, and stayed in regular communication with David to make sure everything would go smoothly. With guests traveling from the mainland and internationally, this was an event that had been carefully planned for a very long time. Unfortunately, Hurricane LaLa was passing through the islands on the day of the wedding. The storm had been widely forecast, and we understood that weather conditions could potentially create challenges. However, what we did not expect was the lack of communication from our event coordinator. The day before the wedding, my daughter received a text from David reassuring her that the wedding was still on and that he would see them on Sunday, August 16, to open the facility early so she and her bridesmaids could arrive and get ready. What happened next was incredibly upsetting. The facility lost power, and the outage lasted throughout the day. Despite knowing there was no power, David did not contact my daughter to tell her not to come to the venue. As a result, her entire wedding party was dropped off at the venue early as planned, expecting to be able to enter, get ready, and begin preparations. David did not show up. He did not come to the venue to explain the situation, help them make arrangements, or even personally communicate with the wedding party. My daughter was left at the venue with her wedding party, not knowing what was happening. Even more upsetting, she was not offered a refund until approximately 1:30 p.m., just three hours before the scheduled 4:30 p.m. wedding. By that point, finding an alternative venue for 250 people seemed almost impossible. My daughter was crying and desperately trying to figure out what to do. When she called David, she pleaded where he was, but he quickly became very rude, scolded her about coming early when he told her to come the day before, and the conversation ended with him hanging up on her abruptly. As a mother, it was heartbreaking to watch my daughter experience what should have been one of the happiest days of her life turn into panic and uncertainty. Our entire family immediately rallied together and began calling restaurants and venues, desperately trying to find somewhere that could accommodate approximately 250 guests on extremely short notice. We had family and friends who had traveled from across the mainland and internationally for this wedding, and we were determined not to let the entire celebration be lost. Thankfully, Legends Restaurant at the Chinese Cultural Center heard about our situation and came to our rescue. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about Bamboo Catering. We understand that weather and power outages are sometimes beyond anyone's control. What was not beyond their control was communication and customer service. If there was a possibility that the facility could not be used, my daughter should have been notified immediately and given the opportunity to make a contingency plan instead of calling off the venue middle of the day knowing this morning that this venue couldn't work. When you are responsible for an event involving 250 people and have been working with a couple for an entire year, communication and compassion should be a priority--especially when something completely unexpected happens. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Bamboo Catering. The lack of communication, failure to provide assistance when it was desperately needed, and the way my daughter was treated during an extremely emotional and stressful situation were deeply disappointing. The way this situation was handled by Bamboo Catering and David Webb is something our family will never forget.

I hosted an intimate luncheon for 12 to celebrate my mom, who was everything to me and who passed away suddenly. She loved to host beautiful events and created many memories for this group of besties. You can imagine how high the stakes were to create an event worthy of my mom and befitting of the love our guests felt for her. I wanted it intimate, elegant, delicious, and memorable. Enter Chef Eric. Knowing how special this event was for me, he requested a list of foods that either she loved or had special meaning to her, and based on that, he created a menu inspired by memories but enhanced with his culinary genius. I loved how excited he was to compose the menu. We enjoyed a five-course plated meal, meticulously timed and served...a fine dining experience in a hotel suite with sweeping views of Waikiki. For each course, I explained the memory behind it and Chef Eric explained his take on the dish. Every course seemed to outdo the previous one (Kaluga caviar on handmade rice cracker with furikake crème fraiche, king crab Waianae salad, Ewa corn bisque with Kona abalone and Hokkaido scallop, braised short rib with macadamia crumble and Manoa gremolata) culminating in Mom's favorite dessert: cherries jubilee! Chef Eric also prepared a special vegan meal for one friend and surprised my pescatarian husband with a special fish entree which Chef caught himself the day prior. Oh yes, he's a talented fisherman, too. His professional and seasoned team Susie (server) and Devin (sous chef) were not just supporting the event, they were part of it. This dream team of three understood the importance of this celebration and their care and aloha radiated into the food and service. We were all blown away by the heart and soul that went into curating and preparing that very special meal. I liken Chef Eric's food to how I describe my mom: EPIC. Thank you, Chef Eric, for all the thought, care, planning, flawless execution, and, most of all, HEART that you poured into that beautiful and memorable event.

As we got to the tasting portion of planning, Ashley made really great drinks -- it was so hard for choose just two! She was a joy to chat with, and we knew she'd be an amazing addition to our event. Bar Coco was such a hit on the day of our wedding. The bar itself was beautiful, and our guests loved the bartenders (which included Ashley). They anticipated our guests wants and felt like an extension of the fun! After our event, we found that Ashley's assessment of our needs were incredibly accurate. We had very little alcohol leftover because her shopping list was spot on and the drinks were delicious. We didn't waste money on more than we needed AND our event was still well stocked. Ashley's expertise for the wedding industry also helped us make other vendor decisions. She gave thoughtful suggestions that led to another one of our favorite vendors. Knowing our guests (and ourselves), we knew the bar was going to be very important. Not just for the drinks itself, but also for the overall vibes. Ashley & Bar Coco 100% delivered, and we'd strongly recommend her & her team!

I am so happy we decided to put this aspect in the hands of the Catering Kalimas, who catered our wedding at He'eia State Park in October 2015. This wife and husband duo, Paula and Mitchell Kalima, is seriously a dream team. They ensured the food at our wedding turned out absolutely perfect! We worked on all of the logistics and costs ahead of time with Paula, who is as easy to work with as she is keen to the nitty gritty details. She helped make our vision a reality, from our wonderful outdoor cocktail hour (down the hill from the reception hall, so guests could enjoy their drinks and snacks in the same spot overlooking the ocean as the ceremony), to the several-stationed main event, to the kick-ass catering and bartending folks who served us. Paula's coordination skills simply rock. Overall, I also believe she gave us fair, reasonable prices for all that we had at our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Chef Mitchell (who has worked as a head chef in Waikiki for years) cooked us a feast that had us and our guests raving. We had a poke bar and other pupus (hors d'oeuvres) during the cocktail hour, traditional Hawaiian food at the main event (the works... Mitchell makes it all), a fresh sushi station (nigiri as well as maki, using top-notch, restaurant-quality fish), and mouth-watering prime rib. Nothing fell short of delicious. My partner and I are still defrosting Mitchell's kalua pork leftover from the reception two months later and loving it. As expected, our reception was a blur for us as the bride and groom and we didn't have all that much time to eat. But what sticks out in my memory was how Paula came up to my partner and I at the beginning of the night, introduced herself and Mitchell (we had not met them until then, since we planned the event from California), personally brought us plates of a little bit of everything (though it was buffet-style for the rest of the guests), and checked in with us throughout the next hour to make sure we were enjoying the food. It was like a personalized, mini-restaurant experience. All around, the Kalimas excel at carrying out their customer-centered catering business. They are worth 6 out of 5 stars! I highly, HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking for outside caterers for your Oahu wedding.
