I just got back from Maui and booking Lesley for our family's special celebration dinner was…read morehands-down the best decision we made the entire trip! We had a private chef experience right at our vacation rental for 8 people, and it felt like we were dining at a top-tier restaurant without ever leaving the house. Lesley customized the entire menu for our group (one vegetarian, one gluten-free) with zero fuss and made it feel effortless and personal. The service was warm, professional, and genuinely joyful. She even handled grocery shopping, setup, and cleanup so we could just relax and enjoy the sunset views. It turned what could have been a stressful "what's for dinner" night into the highlight of our vacation. If you're visiting Maui and want an unforgettable, stress-free fine-dining experience in your own space. Worth every penny and then some. We're already planning our next trip around her schedule! Thank you, Lesley--you made our Maui memories even sweeter!

Love, love Lesley! She's an incredibly talented chef and an awesome person to be around, especially…read morein the kitchen! I can be pretty particular about my diet (I'm sensitive to gluten, sodium, soy, dairy) and I was so lucky to have lived in a house with Chef Lesley because she was always able to accommodate my dietary restrictions. Her dishes were comforting, nourishing, creative, and delicious. I highly recommend her for all your private chef and catering needs

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.

My fiancée and I had a rough time with a few vendors and Michelle was able to clean it all up and we are SO thankful things worked out the way they did because this day was PERFECT with her in it! She did not miss a beat and she was always there if we needed her, I miss her already! The food was raved about for days, we chose the Filet and sweet onion mashed potatoes and the fresh macadamia nut encrusted fish with the yummy purple mashed potatoes with wok fired vegetables! 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. For someone planning a wedding near or far choose Aloha Events, their food is AMAZING and is not your typical "wedding" food, the staff is top notch and the professionalism throughout the whole process was above and beyond!! Thank you Michelle and everyone at Aloha Events for making our day so stress-free and seamless...and YUMMY!!! xoxo J&J

I had been initially referred to Tiffany Ward through my wedding coordinator & I'm so glad I booked Tiffany. I booked them in 2016 & unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to 2019 due to health reasons & chemo treatment. Tiffany was very understanding & was so wonderful to work with. She was responsive with all my emails, texts & phone calls. She also coordinated the equipment & furniture set up so it was one less thing for me to focus on. Tiffany helped me determine how much alcohol to purchase & accomodated my guests' dietary needs (gluten & chocolate allergy). Tiffany made our wedding go so smoothly. The appetizers, drinks & the main course meals were amazing! The tri tip was medium rare (cooked to perfection) & the mahi mahi was amazingly lousy & tasty! It's so difficult to cook for large catered groups that I wasn't expecting too much. Wow, was I blown away by the food! I ate as much as I could during dinner. At the end of the evening Tiffany had kindly packed a meal for my husband & me. Once we got home around midnight, we devoured our packed meals & they were just as tasty! Tiffany catered & helped coordinate a large part of the wedding. She also set my the ceremony chairs, reception tables w/ the centerpieces, a kids corner with blankets & pillows, 2 separate lounge seating areas for the guests. She also had to coordinate where our shaved ice vendors, malasada delivery & Photobooth vendors would set it. The day went along so smoothly mainly due to Tiffany. I highly recommend Maui Catering Services!

Marshall and I spoke on the phone and created a menu for our group; everything was not only delicious, but beautifully presented. He prepared two appetizers: seared ahi with edamame spread on homemade crostini and Thai-style chicken in lettuce cups. First course was massaged kale salad with mango, fennel, cucumber and candied macadamia nuts. Dinner included tender, perfectly cooked and seasoned sous-vide ribeye, served sliced with red wine sauce over mashed potatoes with asparagus on the side. Dessert, at his suggestion, was a lilikoi pie embellished with fresh whipped cream and berries. Outstanding! Marshall came with a helper, and they did all the clean up. The kids wanted plain pasta, and Marshall prepared and plated the simple buttered pasta beautifully; the kids said it was the best pasta ever! I would highly recommend Marshall and would definitely hire him again.
