Maui Caterer for Weddings, Events and Special Occasions
Carol Longhi is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park New York. Carol was the opening chef at Longhi's restaurant in Honolulu and Wailea. Carol is a master caterer who has prepared sumptuous meals for celebrities, royalty, weddings, rehearsal dinners and special occasions. We only use fresh seasonal ingredients. All our food is cooked to order. We never use microwaves or precooked sauces. All our catered food is cooked at the location, never prepared ahead. We can create a menu, choose a wine and design a wedding cake to enhance your wedding celebration. Gabrielle Longhi, who wrote and photographed Longhi's Cookbook, and was the first chef at Longhi's restaurant in Lahaina, works with chef Carol Longhi to create delicious menus for special events and wedding receptions. Cuisines include Mediterranean, Italian, Pacific Rim, Indonesian, Traditional, French, Seafood, Longhi's style, Indian and Luau. We also arrange staffing and rentals.

We offer sit down service, family style, or buffet style as well as station style service. A sit down dinner requires more staff than buffet style. Prices are per person for food only. These menus are based on a 30 person minimum. The average price for a wedding dinner is between $50 and $75 per person and up. Desserts are usually an additional charge. Staffing, waiters, gratuity, chefs fee and rentals of tables, chairs, linens, flatware and china is extra.
