Gourmet Events Hawaii

I needed to do a small lunch for 8 people. 3 courses, plated, with beverages. Gentry and the GEH team took excellent care of me, from the 1st email, down to the last fist bump! (because, you know.... COVID.) Gentry provided menú options that fit our budget, and once we made our choice (we choose the All Natural Free Range Pan - Seared Chicken with Hennessy Green Peppercorn Sauce, from their Kau Kau box option), she made sure that everything was great! She brought the food to the venue, prepared it, plated it, (excellent presentation and plating), and made sure it all looked and tasted great! Gentry and Kathy made sure our guests were well taken care of, and our guests were left with a very good impresssion of both GEH and our organization!Of particular note was the Hawaiian Sweet Bread Pudding with Roasted Pineapple and Tahitian Vanilla Creme Anglaise... multiple guests raved about it, and wished they had more!Gentry and the team at Gourmet Events Hawaii are the real deal! If you want a quality experience, with profesional people who know how to deliver, give GEH a call!

I'm sharing my experience as a volunteer for an organization that used this company to plan an event. Overall, I had a horrible experience with their logistics team. Every question asked by volunteers were met with "I don't know." They did not have a flow of logistics and how to make volunteers useful during the event. They informed us to arrive at 3 pm and for 2.5 hrs, many people, including elderly volunteers, stood around and did nothing. If you are an organization who values your volunteers that have been following you for a long time, choose a company that will ensure they don't cause rifts in that relationship. Contracted or hired companies should have awareness of an organization's support system and make them feel engaged and useful. GEH sent an email about volunteers knowing their breaks and even having a meal. We did not receive any information on that which was another reason I just left. Overall, select an organization that thinks about things thoroughly. Tonight, I left not inspired.

I have to say that this was ine of the most convenient services I've ever used.Especially in today's employment climate, and the shortage of staff, I was pleased with the professionalism of the staff they sent me to assist with some of our events

GEH staffed our recent party in December and I cannot say enough about how professional and wonderful this company, and my point of contact, Lisa, were to work with. Lisa was very responsive to all of my questions and on-top of all the details that made my event a success. The staff took care of everything at the party, from the bar to the food to cleaning up during and after the event. I used another rental company for the tent, tables, chairs and linens and my experience was not even close to the customer service I received from GEH. I cannot recommend GEH enough. If you are planning an event look no further than GEH for all your needs. I will use them for ALL my event needs in the future.

Gentry and GEH were absolutely AMAZING!!! I couldn't have done it without all of Gentry's amazing, day of coordinator skills to make it the wedding of my dreams. She really went above and beyond for everything, as did the GEH staff. When I tell you that the amount of stress I had while planning our wedding was at a high, with Gentry it made everything go by so smoothly and beautifully. My husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves as did our guests. I HIGHLY recommend GEH to anyone and everyone! They do not disappoint.

Jacki and her staff at GEH is absolutely AMAZING! First off, when we inquired with her it was only about 2 weeks prior to our huge event. Jacki made sure to fit us into her busy schedule right away without hesitation. At our meeting, as we explained our expectations, Jacki reassured us that no matter how big or small of a task, her team would have no issues with delivering. The day of our event, Jacki dropped by the venue to introduce her staff. The entire team was dressed to impress and ready to get to work. As soon as tasks were delegated, everyone set out to do as they were told. Throughout the night, the servers would check in with us always anticipating their next tasks. There were a few hiccups and last minute requests that came up, but every situation was handled very calmly and professionally. It was a really tough gig but no one complained. I am happy to report that every server was hardworking and very easy to work with. Not only were we grateful for the GEH team, but the guests were satisfied with their service as well. We were getting compliments all night! I would highly recommend GEH to anyone looking for top notch service. Huge mahalo to Jacki and the rest of the GEH team!

Gentry was our day of coordinator for our destination wedding and hiring her was one of the best decisions we've made!We had to plan our wedding from California without the opportunity to meet each one of our vendors beforehand, after booking everything I was so stressed out because I had no idea what was going to happen next, Gentry was so sweet & patient with us. A month before our wedding she basically took over the whole thing and confirm with all the vendors, finalize timeline/ details to bring it all together the day of the event. She made sure we enjoyed our trip to Oahu and get a chance to relax before our big day.Gentry went above and beyond with assisting us to make sure we had a stress free and fun day. She was so considerate and thoughtful throughout the whole process. Like for example, she offered us to bring our wedding decorations to the rehearsal so that we won't have to bring a bunch of stuff to the venue on our wedding day. She brought umbrellas on our wedding day because it was going to rain (and it did!) She brought Mike and I drinks while we were taking our photos so that we could stay hydrated and she did that while she was running up and down the hill making sure all our guests were well accommodated. The one thing that I will never forget was that one of our guests' car battery died that night and she didn't hesitate to call her friend to come over and help jump start the car. Can you imagine that?! I can go on and on... so brides and grooms, don't search any longer! book GEH now BUT make sure to ask for Gentry! We are so grateful for everything she did for us. I don't know what I would have done without her!

I recently had the honor or working with Gentry and Jackie at Gourmet Events Hawaii. The entire experience, from meeting Jackie to booking Gentry as wedding coordinator to working with Gentry for entire detailed wedding event was seamless! Gentry is a gem and very knowledgable with event coordination, catering, weddings, customer service and teamwork! Your can completely rely on Gourmet Events Hawaii to deliver excellent and professional event services! Thank you, Jackie and Gentry!

I had the pleasure of working with Gentry and her staff from Gourmet Events Hawaii in planning our organizations Inaugural Jubilee. Gentry is such a professional at the work she does and an absolute joy to work with. Her staff did a remarkable job making sure our guests were taken cared of in a very professional manner. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Gentry and the entire staff of GEH! If you need a coordinator for any type of event I highly recommend hiring Gentry!!!

An events company with no events on the schedule?? Sounds dubious at best I would take a 2nd look before actually signing on with these people .. Seems like the old bait and switch . So very difficult to find any somewhat professional hiring companies nowadays, it's all the internet shuffle with no actual results !! They just want your information, like everyone else on the internet. Beware !!
