Shasta planned my husband's 20 year high school graduation party from king kekaukike high school at Mulligans on the blue in Wailea. People are still talking about that party and how fabulous it was! Shasta came through with flying colors literally. From the table clothes, the catering, to the decor, it was first class and on point. I would highly recommend her services; as not only does she work well one on one, but she is extremely detail oriented. She will check in with you personally; making sure that you are beyond happy. I look forward to recommending her services in the future, and working with her again.

We were supposed to get married in September of 2020, but due to Covid we pushed our wedding out a year. Throughout the entire planning process, pre and during Covid, Nat and Ash kept us up to date with the latest regulations, walked us through messaging to our guests, created beautiful design mood boards, and so much more. We're so thankful we went with them as our planners. Not only did they execute flawlessly, they were our true partners in crime through the best and hardest times. If you like working with competent, design-gifted, real humans, you can't go wrong with Nat and Ash.

They scaled with our vision, hiring an impressive team of local vendors and collaborators to piece together every detail, big and small. Truly the best wedding week ever with memorable events + experiences back-to-back. Will certainly work with them again if coming back to Maui! My highest recommendation, they deliver all the way!!

Even though my husband and I live in Maui and knew most of our vendors, Geraldine's assistance was truly priceless- especially in the days leading up to the wedding! Geraldine is the ultimate professional- polished, put-together, polite and unflappable! She has ample experience working in hospitality, which made her approach so efficient and practical. She and her team were a pleasure to work with and they worked really well with all of our vendors, which took all the stress off of me. Everything came together as I had hoped and nothing fell through the cracks- the experience was seamless. Geraldine also has amazing taste and vision- she brought my boho/island chic wedding vision to life even better than I could have imagined. Someone told me the best money you spend on your wedding is with a solid wedding coordinator and they couldn't not have been more right! I would highly recommended Geraldine and the team at GQ Events. Thank you Geraldine for a truly wonderful experience!!

The staff clearly had everything under control and didn't let the weather affect a single moment. From the ceremony to the reception, everything felt seamless and thoughtfully planned. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous, every space was picture-perfect and created such a romantic, elegant atmosphere. From the moment they said "I do" to the very last dance on the dance floor, the energy, organization, and attention to detail were incredible. You could tell the team truly cares about making each wedding special. If you're looking for a stunning venue with a professional and attentive staff that can handle anything (even unexpected weather!), I would highly recommend this place. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Sugar Beach Events was so easy to work with for our wedding…read more Chef Lee went out of her way to respond to emails from me as the bride, calm wedding guests who called about food allergies, and helped our coordinator to fine-tune details for the big day. SBE were really easygoing when we asked to make a few tweaks to the appetizer menu, changed the size of the wedding cake (and then changed it back), and inquired about rentals. It all went very smoothly. Expectations and rules were clearly laid out in the venue contract regarding costs, service, vendors, rentals and food. We had one surprise with the admin fees on the bar tab the night of the wedding but the service was so excellent we didn't worry about it. The venue is gorgeous! It's right on the beach but the ceremony takes place on grass, which was helpful for our guests. It has a lovely path along the side garden that we used as the wedding entrance. The house is quite large and allowed for dinner in air conditioning. They even had the AC cranked up in the bride room for getting ready. We got A LOT of compliments from our guests (and vendors) on the food. I had at least one guest compliment that they loved each appetizer and each entree. I wholeheartedly recommend booking your wedding or event here.

My husband and I worked with Brittany Thorne from Let's Entertain Maui for our wedding in June…read more2022. We are incredibly disappointed in the services we received from Brittany and her lack of communication during the wedding planning process. First, our reception decor--tent and seat drapery--was supposed to be the color of a dusty rose, as indicated by our vendor contract. However, on the wedding day, we noticed that none of the drapery was dusty rose, and the seat drapings were a bright red/fushcia blend. We spoke to Brittany Throne, a month before our wedding date to align on the decor details. Brittany confirmed that they would have enough dusty rose drapery as needed for our wedding. However, on the day of the wedding, we noticed that our drapery was three different colors, none of which were matching with each other (red, candy pink, and another variation of pink)--and none being a dusty rose except the table napkins. What is most disappointing is that my husband and I were not alerted in any way that the drapery colors would be different than what we signed the contract for. I noticed the drapery color mistakes as I was walking down the aisle. If Brittany had done the courtesy to alert us that the colors would be different once she received the shipment, we would have worked to find another solution before our wedding day. The mistakes also included the brown wooden bar, which was supposed to be white. She ended up providing a small discount on the drapery since she made the mistake. However, this doesn't fix the problem as our pictures and wedding video will always reflect the wedding drapery mistakes that Brittany failed to inform us of and work with us to resolve. Attached is a photo of the drapery from our wedding as none of the drapery reflects the dusty rose color as stated on our contract.
