They provided food and drink services at my wedding, including alcohol. The food was top quality and delicious; fruit was very fresh. Although it was only a buffet, they had a server there that was walking around, mingling with guests and making sure everyone was happy. Although they didn't provide everything, like linens, plates, etc., they did give out recommendations (who we ended up using for some things). Communication was a little spotty, but I blame mostly myself for that. We communicated primarily through emails, sometimes my husband would respond, sometimes I did, so that got a little confusing, but I always did receive a response. I'm doubtful that we could've found someone with better prices.

Carol did a great job in assisting with creating my cake and cupcakes and even found a person to create my Lilly Pulitzer cookies. The food was great and all of my guest enjoyed it. Carol even helped me out by making my coleslaw salad and put my costco vegies on a tray to make them look good. She came back and cleaned everything up and put the left over food away. She did a excellent job. I would hire her again.

When planning our auction event Island Girls Catering was very professional, inviting, personable and truly a delight to work with. VERY helpful, beyond what a cater normally has to be. They took the utmost care for our event. The catering team was very on top of their task, very receptive and helpful. The food, words can't convey. The flavors, harmony, and beauty of the food was outstanding. We had appetizers of smoked salmon cheesecake, mini capese bites, hummus & veggies. Everyone RAVED. The freshness, flavors, presentation was executed perfectly. The main dinner consisted of beef brisket, brown sugar garlic chicken thighs, mexican quinoa salad, roasted green beans, rosemary sea salt rolls and spring greens. Hot, Fresh, amazing flavor combinations. We had several guest with different dietary needs and all of their needs we're met. Island Girls also supplied our bartenders. They we're very helpful, professional and on top of everything. Very personable and kind. Everyone on the Island Girls team was a pleasure to work with and Carol Hamre runs a great business. Thank you from the bottom of Lighthouse Cooperatives hearts. We can't wait to use Island Girls Catering for our next auction event.

Carol was absolutely fantastic! She brought lovely treats for a baby shower I was throwing and all of the personal touches were wonderful. I would definitely hire her again!
