“Thank you so very much for all you and your team did to make my mom’s birthday an absolutely spectacular day. Everyone is still buzzing about the delicious food, wonderful decor and outstanding show!! My Mom is still on “Cloud 9” and describes it as the best party she ever attended. I appreciate the entire Islanders team for all the months of planning and coordinating; you certainly delivered and exceeded expectations.”
“Hi Maril,
We can’t thank you enough for the exceptional experience you and your crew provided for us last night! We can’t stop talking about how much fun we had! You gave us a top-notch party. Everything was impeccable and professional, from the greeters to the delicious food and the wonderful entertainment. We are beyond happy! You are a fabulous MC. Everything ran so smoothly. Thank you, again and we are relishing in the memories. 😁”
“Hi Maril and team!
I am so sorry for getting back to you so late. (2:30 am) We were out and about as a newlywed couple and it is very exhausting (positively)!
Our heart goes on your buffet arrangement! It was lovely! It was perfect! The guests loved your food so much! Everything was perfectly arranged the way we dreamed it to be.
Thank you so much for being part of our special day! I am going to send you the payment shortly. We will definitely give you an excellent review and refer you! It was wonderful! Can’t wait to tag you on our social media accounts!”
“Thank you Islanders Luau for making my Hawaii Five-0 memorable! My backyard smelled so good while you guys BBQ-d on the spot, and the food was so delicious! High five on the pig ceremony. That was an awesome experience. The fire show and the hula dancer were a ton of fun, too. We had an amazing time with your awesome entertainment. I loved the way you decorated the buffet table. This Hawaiian party will be one that everyone will remember. My family and friends are still talking about it days later!”
“Maril! Thank you again for everything yesterday. You and your team were wonderful, and really made it a very special experience for the guest of honor and her family! So glad that we could have you with us! Make sure your workers keep the “reveal” a secret until the show comes out in February.”
“We hired Islanders Luau to provide catering and entertainment for our son’s first birthday party, and it was amazing!!! From working with Maril during the planning process through the event itself, it was seamless and wonderful. We had a full pig with a pig ceremony, and it was the absolute best pork we have ever had. The pig ceremony really set the stage for an awesome party as well. All of the food was delicious and traditional. The show was funny, authentic, and so much fun! We received tons of compliments on the food and show, and we can’t thank Maril and his team enough. If you’re considering hiring Islanders Luau, don’t hesitate to book them! You will be happy you did!!”
“Islanders Luau provided our retirement community with a fabulous Hula Show, complete with fire dancer. They arrived early and were ready to go ontime. The dancers and MC/DJ were very talented and professional, the costumes beautiful. Great show! Everyone loved it!”
“We booked Islander’s Luau for our daughter and son-in-law’s 25th Wedding Anniversary because of the remarkable reviews on review sites, and the photos of what to expect. Just like Polynesia used to be!
The dancing, the menu, the Pig roast and parade was memorable, to say the least, and this is a party every one of our guests will remember as the best ever!
Especially, the event was handled in a professional and timely manner, as it surpassed all of our expectations!
Thank you for an extraordinary experience from the Islands!”
“Aloha Maril! It was great working with you and your team! I have had nothing but compliments from the residents who attended. They loved the food and the show was fabulous! The Kalua pork was moist and the best that I have had. Thank you again for a wonderful evening. Mahalo,”
“You guys were fantastic! The food was delicious, and your workers were wonderful to work with! Please thank them again for me! I look forward to our next luau together!!!”
“You and your whole crew were AMAZING! I am still getting compliments that this event was the best they’ve ever seen and had here at The Lodge. Everyone had a great time, the food was delicious, and the entertainment was top notch, very enjoyable and funny. Your mother would definitely be proud. We look forward to using you for our next Luau. 5+ rating for Islanders Luau… Mahalo!!”
“Maril, we were thrilled with your staff and your food🌴😎🌴. All the guests raved about the food! We are still enjoying the leftovers. They were very considerate of my wishes, very professional and very quiet while moving the equipment out the party site.
Thank you very much for all your help. Being out of state, I felt very confident working with you to make sure the party was a great success.”
“Your team did an amazing job! The entertainment was awesome and the food was delicious!! Everyone had so much fun and enjoyed everything. We really hope to work with you and your team again in the future.”
“We got married in Hawaii the week before, and wanted an authentic style Luau for our wedding reception when we got home.
What a wonderful experience!! Everything turned out perfect—all of the staff were on time and professional, the lei greeter made our guests feel welcome , the 2 hula dancers and lead entertainer were awesome, and the food was very tasty! I loved the presentation of the food, and the table was decorated perfectly. All the staff were so helpful with all our needs. Our guests had a wonderful time and we had so many compliments on our luau! Mahalo Islanders Luau! We loved every minute of it!”
“Hi Maril...thank you so much for contributing to my success!! As I said before, the food was delicious and the Entertainment was Amazing !!! You and your group was worth every penny !!!! I would recommend you anytime and gladly give you a great review !! I had several texts and phone calls yesterday and they all mentioned how great the food and entertainment was !!!! Thank you again from all of us !!”
“Maril & Company,
Thank you for providing excellent catering service for our farewell party. It was a pleasure working with you. ”
“What can I say?! The entertainment, the food, the people, the whole experience was more than I could’ve asked for and exceeded my best expectations!! The food was to die for—grilled fresh on site (torturing you with the smell), and OH. SO. GOOD!!! We booked them last minute for a school party, and they came through quickly and professionally. They set up authentic island educational (and fun) booths and kept the kids entertained all afternoon. All the teachers agreed that having Islanders Luau was like being in the islands. The show was mesmerizing and kept the kids and adults enthralled and completely captivated. They even stayed after and mingling with the kids, teaching dance moves, letting them see the drums, and taking photos. I will absolutely book with them again! Everyone was amazing, professional, and so friendly. They treated us like family.”
“Thank you for the excellent show!! Everything worked out perfectly and the food was a hit.”
“On behalf of my Mom and the Ávila family, we wanted to thank you and your crew for an amazing luau experience and for making my mom’s 80th birthday party truly memorable! The food was delicious (especially the teriyaki chicken) and my mom really enjoyed the dancers. Extremely entertaining for all the guests! I know a few local guests picked up your business cards and hope you get additional business. Many thanks again!”
A popular review site drives small businesses crazy because they only post a small percentage of the positive reviews that are submitted. Reviews that they think could be fake are pushed into a “not currently recommended” area of their site. We feel that if our customers went to the trouble to write a review, we should let them be posted…. right here. Here are the screen shots of all of our reviews that weren’t “recommended” for 2018, plus two reviews from 2019. They are all real customers!
