Testimonials

“We have worked with Contemporary Flavors for over eight years and they are consistently the best staffed and most creative caterers on the island. They approach each event and client with the same excellence no matter what the requests may be or how big or small the event is. Their food is phenomenal and always exceeds expectations - even from the pickiest eaters! However, their staff is what makes them great; each server, cook, buser and administrative member is positive and customer-service oriented, it is always a pleasure having them onsite with us. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
Morgan Childs, Moana Events & Modern Elopement
