Choosing a caterer for a destination wedding in Hawaii can prove to be challenging simply due to the logisitics. However, with sufficient research and planning, you can put together a wedding reception that your friends and family will talk about for years to come. Use our list of wedding caterers on the Big Island to narrow your choices down to a few. Visit their websites and/or give them a call. Discuss your budget, your wishes, and let them tell you about their business. Get a feel for their attitude, how long they have been in business, and most of all their experience catering weddings specifically. Once you have narrowed down your choices, the next step would usually be to do a taste test. This may not be possible when planning a wedding in Hawaii from your home on the mainland or elsewhere. You will have to rely on your wedding planner, references from other couples, other Hawaii wedding vendors, and your instincts. If you feel good about your choice, it is probably the right one. Be sure to negotiate a contract that meets all of your needs, within your budget. Don't forget to ask about extra fees for such services as decorating, cake cutting and champagne pouring. Always get everything in writing. Your efforts will be well rewarded with a wonderful wedding day in Hawaii!
