Wedding Coordination

Contemporary Flavors works closely with professional event planners on island and Oahu, utilizing their expertise to create a most memorable event from start to finish. We will work with the planner of your choice, or we can refer you to a planner with whom we’ve worked with on numerous events.

Catering

Brides and grooms put a very high priority on their wedding menus, wanting their guests to enjoy delicious foods in a great variety, but they also want their wedding menus to be personalized, themed, and, especially, fun.

Chef Matt and his culinary team will create the custom menu for your special day. Please view a sample of our signature menu.

Bar Services

Our expert beverage staff will create tempting and refreshing libations based on your style of event.

Contemporary Flavors Catering has a retail liquor license. Therefore, all beverages have to be pre-sold in whole cases or bottles before the event starts. We also provide bar set-up, which includes disposable service ware, ice, coolers, garnishes, bar related equipment, and liquor liability insurance, as well as glassware rental.

Wedding Cakes

Sharing cake at a wedding is a tradition that began thousands of years ago in ancient Greece. Through the centuries, it has become an elaborate and architecturally inspired art form that symbolizes eternal love.

Contemporary Flavors Catering has helped to make this tradition a reality for tens of thousands of brides on Kauai. We will create the wedding cake of your dreams…a cake that tastes as good as it looks! From romantic to traditional, whimsical and contemporary designs, Contemporary Flavors Catering has a wedding cake perfect for your wedding theme.

If you would prefer something other than a traditional wedding cake, Contemporary Flavors Catering is happy to design a delectable sweet treat for you and your guests. Tiers and cake decorations can be customized for any flavor.

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.”
