Recommendations (wedding stuff)

Sorry I've been kind of MIA but this training I'm in has been taking up a ton of my time.  I wanted to pop in here and ask you ladies for some recommendations for my cousin who's getting married in Hawaii next spring. She is looking for:

1. Florist

2. Caterer (heavy pupus/appetizers for a small night time ceremony)

My florist wasn't all that great and my caterer came through my venue so I can't really help her.  I imagine she is looking for someone really reasonably priced.  Any recommendations?

Hope everyone is doing great! 

Re: Recommendations (wedding stuff)

  • Oh duh.... Oahu.  Hahaha
  • Florist -- Michelle from Flowergirls was awesome!!

    Caterer -- We used INDIGO and they were great, yummy. HTH!!

  • we didn't use a caterer but for flowers i LOVED fong from floral inspirations. since we got married (5 years ago!!) she now has a minimum, i think. so, she'd have to find out about that....we spent just under 1k for our flowers
  • No catering recommendations since we didn't have one, but I loooved our flowers from Wantanabe Floral - they're good to go with if you either want to DIY or have a small order (we had 1 bouquet, 2 bouts and 3 corsages). Really gorgeous and looked exactly the way I wanted, plus they were very reasonably priced since they're not a "wedding" florist.
  • I used Beaches & Backyards catering and thought the prices were pretty reasonable for pupus and dinner. Another one that had pretty good prices and reviews was the Poke Stop.

  • My florist, Su-V Expressions, was really reasonable, and didn't mind a small order.  Watanabe is also great. 

    Our caterer for the welcome dinner was reasonably priced too, and the food was yummy - unfortunately, it's been so long I can't remember who we went with!  I'm 99.99% certain it was Yama's Fishmarket.  I would also check out Tanioka's.  Both of these are good for local food.

    I second Michelle from Flowergirls!  She is super sweet and easy to work with.  She has minimum guidelines for individual items (i.e. bridesmaid bouquets starting at $75), but doesn't have an overall minimum.

    If you're looking at Watanabe, don't forget that Costco has gift cards -- $80 for $100 GC.

    Sorry, no recs for a caterer...
