From an experienced event planner... “Coming from an experienced event planner, I highly recommend this company. They will accommodate your requests promptly and will reasonably work around your budget! My team from Miracle’s Dream Event are all satisfied, grateful, and for sure will definitely seek out their service again! The Islanders Luau team, headed by Vivian, did an awesome job providing their specialty Hawaiian dishes to over a thousand guests. Regardless of your guest count, hundreds or thousands, Vivian will treat your event fairly and you’ll be able to see how passionate his team is. They also provided Hawaiian decor which is a MUST to include in your event. Can’t wait for another team collaboration with your company, Vivian!” — Miracle S. catering, corporate event, hawaiian luau party decorVivian FernandoNovember 22, 2022hula dancers, hawaiian catering near me, community eventComment
Experience and Know-how count! “ Islanders Luau’s experience and know-how was fully exhibited before and during the luau at Four Seasons this past Saturday. I can categorically say that everyone in attendance had an enjoyable and memorable experience. The catering crew (Soli, Josh, Zachary) got the preparation going right way. The food was excellent, the entertainment was fantastic. We had tons of compliments of the entertainment, the performance of the emcee (Harvey), and the dancers (Toto, Annette, Chelsea, Sam and Alejandra). Our thanks for Vivian being here assisting and directing the preparation and food distribution, and generally being available to answer questions we had for him.The tone was set as the guests arrived. They were greeted by Harvey wearing a lava-lava strumming his ukulele with an “aloha” welcome. They entered the plaza to a floral display, the smell of teriyaki chicken cooking, and the delightful Hawaiian music. The residents inspected the presentation of the roasted pig as it was carried by “warriors” (residents in lava lava), and was greeted by “ohohohs and ahahahs.”It was a wonderful evening. An evening which we can hopefully reproduce in 2024. ” — Karen and Dan catering, company party, corporate event, entertainment, retirement homeVivian FernandoSeptember 30, 2022hawaiian catering near me, Hawaiian dancers, luau catering near me, luau partyComment

Harvey was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-!!!! “We had Harvey as our MC/Entertainer and he was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! We had our event in our backyard with very close family and friends (approx 45 people)... He went around talking to most—if not all— of our guests. He was so personable (and professional) that he totally fit in.
