It's no doubt that one of our favorite parts of the planning process is working with some of the islands best chefs to create custom menus for our couples (well, actually, our favorite part is TASTING these menus!) We've seen so many amazing menu proposals come across our desks that how could we not share with you some of these great custom menus that we've created with some of our couples. And after all, food IS a big part of the wedding day!
Here's Charmayne & Nick's dinner menu, designed by Chef Peter Foster of Memoirs Hawaii, to reflect an island style gourmet BBQ, handcrafted from the couple's all time favorite foods and served alfresco under a star filled North Shore Sky.
