catering
Choosing a caterer was by far the most difficult task in planning our wedding. We must have talked to everyone on the island! We were looking to have a Asian/Hawaiian influenced meal that was different from your "typical" wedding food. Below are some caterers we considered:
- Indigo's (our 1st choice, but was booked for our date)
- The Catering Connection
- Pacific Rim Catering (associated with Sam Choy's)
- Cater to Me
- Elite Catering
After a lot of thought and many menu drafts, we decided to go with Elite. They helped us come up with a menu that we loved, and at a price that was very reasonable compared to the others. We are going with their action stations.
