Meet the Business Owner

Sakara B.

Business Owner

Serial Entrepreneur & Creator. I love new ideas. I love Hawaii. Local girl, raised between Hawaii and Cali. I love to travel but I always find my way back home.

With over twenty years of event production and management experience, I cannot allow a bad party and I know what it takes to make it a good one. Besides being a serial entrepreneur, I am a serial hostess as I love to create, design, style and entertain. After spending a short amount of time with my clients, I can envision exactly what it is that they want, even if they can’t, and I will do whatever necessary to manifest that vision. I do better without a budget but if you have one, I can make it look like you didn’t. My company, DH Catering + Event Planning, and I have the pleasure of working with all the top purveyors in town which allows us to procure you the best product for the best price. Our team will design, plan, negotiate, manage and execute every detail with ease so you too can enjoy the celebration.

Sakara is amazing! I’d been «planning» my wedding for almost a year, with 3 months till the big day, and no vendors actually booked when I came across her by chance. It was the perfect one stop shop for everything I needed for the wedding. The food was delicious. The DJ/​Live Guitarist David that she selected for the music was a hit with all the guests. The staff were very professional and attentive. The day went with out any hiccups, even the rain went away in time for the ceremony to be outside (even though Sakara and team had a back up plan ready to go if needed). Kekoa conducted our ceremony and it was exactly what we had in mind. Flowers and decorations– everything was better than I imagined it would be!
Thank you Sakara and team for making our day absolutely perfect!

I work in film and TV production so our hours are not very typical like most businesses. Sakara and her team where amazing troopers when it came to our most recent film as we were filming at various locations all over Oahu and things were consistently changing. When you are working 12+ hour days, you want your crew to have at least two hot, delicious meals and that is exactly what they got. Sakara worked with me to design the menu ahead of time as there were some dietary restrictions with our actors in addition to some preferences. Every meal was itemized out in great detail since I was ordering multiple meals a day for weeks at a time for this particular job. I was impressed by everyone’s professionalism and thoroughness as some meals had to ready by 4AM and others at 9PM.
Every single meal was executed with such great thought and presented with the little details. I appreciated the the little orchids in the center of the dishes to making sure everything was labeled gluten-​free or was the veggie options. Our film did not have the biggest budget so I was deeply grateful that Sakara and her team were able to make every meal work and offered alternative options so we could stay within budget. Our was not very big either. It was 45 – 50 people every day, so taking on a small job like this meant a lot to me as I never had the opportunity of working with DH Catering before.
I would highly recommend HD Catering and Event Planning to anyone. Truly. Their food is delicious and leaves a smile on your face. Every single person on their team I met all have amazing work ethic and you can tell that they all enjoy what they do as they put their heart into it. I am now a loyal fan and will continue doing business with them whenever I can!

Look No Further! I I used DH Catering four years ago for a company luau. I remembered how fantastic the experience was so I used them again. I’m based on the Mainland, so I was a bit concerned with the turn around and the fine details. I only had two weeks to plan the event. They were able to secure an «unbelievable «location for our event and they perfectly orchestrated a traditional luau. We had twenty people and it included hula lessons, ukelele Lessons, suckling pig presentation. The cored out pineapples with Spiced Rum Pina Coladas were an extra special treat. Sakara Blackwell is accommodating and patient, she really works with your vision and your budget. She also threw in some extras, that we hadn’t planned upon that were a pleasant surprise. Sakara’s staff are friendly and knowledgeable, they are always smiling. I will absolutely use DH Catering again.

DH Catering has graciously agreed to donate catering services for a number of nonprofit events I have managed here in Honolulu. They always deliver quality food and quality service. The food is amazing, the communication is prompt, and the overall presentation is a crowd-​pleaser. They have donated food/​service for MDA’s Spring Soirée for 500 people for many years, and also the MDA Executive Lock Up which over 100 Downtown Honolulu executives attend annually. Our guests always praise DH Catering. Personally, I appreciate the elegance and overall presentation almost as much as the delicious food!
Mahalo to DH Catering for giving back to the community, and for always delivering quality.

Sakara Blackwell and Kekoa Ornellas of DH Catering and Event Planning created a fabulous dinner event for 40 scholars and community leaders of the Manoa Forum, a town and gown group sponsored by the University of Hawaii Foundation. We dined at Ms. Blackwell’s Barefoot Beach Café on the edge of Waikiki Beach. Our dinner included some of the freshest fish I have ever eaten. After dinner, Ms. Blackwell surprised us, serving each guest a small glass of milk with a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. Ms. Blackwell is a calm professional. She is always willing to work with her clients to come up with a price they can afford.

We used DH Catering for a family gathering in Kailua, for two group dinners (12 guests) and a full-​day tour of Oahu. The dinners blew us away, coming from our group of foodies this is a high, high compliment. Their service and laid back attitude was an added bonus, as the food would have had us coming back regardless! The tour day was an unexpected treat, we really thought we knew the island well but Kekoa showed us some of the coolest lil hideaway beaches and other secret spots we never heard of. I adore this company on so many levels, they showcase true Aloha Spirit and some seriously amazing food. You will not be disappointed!

Sakara and Kekoa helped me plan a party for 30 people. They made the planning and decisions so easy and worked within my budget. Everything was wonderful!
The food and presentation was more than I could have asked for. Everyone had plenty to eat… service was attentive… music was great and of course the venue can’t be beat! The food was delicious. They made my mainland family and local family feel very very blessed! Very highly recommended!!!

I’m reserving my five star ratings for truly exceptional businesses who work hard for it. This is one of them.
Last nights dinner, refreshments and entertainment were truly exemplary and full of Aloha!
