“Vivian and his island crew were awesome! They were right on time and extremely professional. The food was amazing—especially the full pig! The Hula Dancers made it feel like we were in Hawaii! I highly recommend!”

Thank you and your wonderful employees for a job well done!! You made Roger’s retirement party that much more special! I have handed out a few of your business cards to others.”
“ I just wanted to say thank you! Everything was wonderful and amazing! The food tasted so good and we loved every minute of your show.

“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!!!”
“Maril, everything was so wonderful on Saturday for my son’s party. The food was delicious!!!! The performers were awesome. It was the party of the century!!! So glad we found you. ”
“Maril & Company,
Thank you for providing excellent catering service for our farewell party. It was a pleasure working with you. ”
We were flattered that the catering director for the Anaheim Marriott called us when she was throwing a retirement party for her husband at their home. We were pretty excited when she wrote a review!
“Outstanding food! I highly recommend the show. It was so much fun! Their team is very engaging and go out of their way to make your event special. Worth every penny we spent!”
“What an amazing night. Thank you so so so much for making it great!!! We have so many pictures. Our guests loved loved loved the show. What a great way to jump into our 60’s!”
“Maril is amazing to work with! He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about all aspects for arranging an authentic luau.
He offers several menu choices, live and recorded music, dancers; male and female, and many other great extras. The food is delicious, the entertainment is great, the décor is beautiful and his staff is friendly and attentive to your requests.
I submitted several revisions to my menu and he was responsive to all my requests in a timely manner. I would recommend Islander’s Luau to anyone wanting to host an authentic luau.
Islander’s Luau is a complete package for ALL your luau party needs. The only thing you have to provide are your guests!”
Maril loves his job--making people happy on important days of their lives! At Islanders Luau we work very hard to make everything turn out and we love it when customers take the time to write reviews!
"This company is so awesome. We hired them for my wedding Luau. People talked about it for weeks after! It was so special and authentic. I was able to do my backyard wedding at a reasonable price, but it felt like such an exotic experience. During the planning stages Maril put my mind at ease. He was so fun, charming--and during the show--hilarious. He delivered over the top as an entertainer and fire dancer. His niece Kayla (sp?) greeted everyone with the ukulele and then was an amazing dancer. We chose the pig ceremony as well so my sons loved that! I highly recommend this company in every way. It makes me want to think of another reason to do it again! " -- Judith
We had a great time helping to celebrate the father-in-law's birthday with lei greeters to greet the guests, Hawaiian catering, and a fun Polynesian show!
“Thank you for making my father-in-law’s birthday so special. You provide an amazing experience. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience. You and your team made this party. Friendly and professional. You brought the true Aloha spirit! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Here’s a picture that was too good not to share!! Mahalo my friends!”
“On behalf of President/CEO and & “Village Chief” Tom Lent, and Southland Credit Union, I want to commend your team for the outstanding job Islanders Luau did in hosting our Annual Kick-Off Event! From the introductory meeting with you on the phone to the planning and execution of the food, entertainment and decor, everything was handled with the utmost care to detail. I was most impressed with everyone’s professionalism, responsiveness to my inquiries and great pre-event prep. The detail that went into the table settings and flowers was outstanding. Everyone raved about the wonderful food. Thank you for your guidance in selecting the island menu. The servers were upbeat and very helpful. Your talented entertainers gave an outstanding performance. I have been hearing everyone talking about how fun it was to get up out of their seats and participate with the entertainers. Our experience was further enhanced by the fabulous band who played beautiful island music for the evening. I appreciate them setting up early and playing as everyone arrived. Thank you again for hosting our corporate event with exceptional service. ”
Our last event of the year was on a chilly night in December. Food, entertainment, our Fiji Foto booth, and decor! The host says he plans on hiring us for several events each year. He gave us a fun "tip", too--a free hot-air balloon ride over the hillsides of Temecula.
“I am an engineer and did tons of research before choosing Islanders Luau. We hosted our company retreat and wife’s birthday party in December. The food was perfect, the live music was perfect, the performance and entertainment were perfect. Everything was perfect.
We will definitely be doing future parties at our venue, including luau themes. Our first call will be to Islander’s Luau!”
Every January Islanders Luau gets asked to kick off the New Year at the Harley Davidson dealerships in Riverside, CA and Westminster, CA. Being asked back seven years in a row speaks for itself!
Members of the Avalon Tuna Club arrived in their yachts, for a pretty cool luau on a dock in Newport Beach.
“You are amazing! Thank you so much for making the Tuna Club luau an absolutely outstanding success!! We have received so many positive comments on EVERYTHING—the dances, the food, the decor, the audience participation. You made every moment of the event special!!!”
We Bring the Islands to You!
“Maril and his son, Solo, did a fabulous job catering our luau. He even greeted our guests as they arrived by giving out tasty samples while grilling. Everyone raved about their food and their great personalities. They truly brought the aloha spirit. Thanks for the broke da mouth grinds. Very ono! ”
One of the things that we love about so many of our clients, is that many of them are throwing a Hawaiian party to honor someone they love. They are so excited to create a never-to-be-forgotten luau. We work hard to try to make their dream come true.
“Islander’s Luau did an amazing job for my mother’s 60th birthday party this last Saturday! The crew was professional, friendly, arrived early, and set everything up on-time for our event. The food was delicious and the entertainment was awesome!! I can’t wait to book them again for our next event!! I highly, highly recommend them!!”
It is always fun to help a client throw a birthday party luau for their spouse!
“Maril and his team were awesome from the beginning until after the party. He was very gracious and patient when I kept changing my mind on things. My husband loved his 40th birthday party of 80. We had the pig with carrying in ceremony, Luau dancers (Maril did an epic fire dance) that got the crowd involved, and a DJ for after the show. It was an amazing experience. I thank you all for a job well done. You made it very memorable. Thank you again!”
