“Very professional and sweet girls! Their fire guy had the crowd having a great time. Great entertainment for my son’s high school graduation party. He and all his friends will never forget his grad party! The talk of the week!!”
“I just wanted to let you know what an incredible show Islander’s Luau provided for our elementary school/childs ministry. You did an exceptional job!
You were pleasant and professional and the kids and adults really enjoyed the performance. The interaction with the audience was great.
We thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment that was provided. The fire portion of the show is incredible!
We would totally recommend your services in the future.
Thank you very much!”
“Thank you so much for the entertainment last night! Everyone was so happy and excited to see the performances that were absolutely amazing! I already have a friend asking me for your info. 🙂 The party was a hit and my husband was surprised! We look forward to seeing you all again in the future. Thanks again!! ”
“We had a graduation luau in August and hired Islanders Luau for our entertainment. We were very pleased with the show and the entire performance. The girls were wonderful and the fire dance was amazing! Everyone keeps talking about it and saying it was the best party they’ve been to! We all had an amazing time!”
“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 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
“Thank you very much, Maril, for a great party, really good food, and a great time! We all really enjoyed how you took us to the islands with the dances—especially your dances! Awesome!
Thanks again! :) ”
“Everything was awesome and amazing — the food, the entertainment — everything was just awesome. MOANA was amazing! My lil one was so excited as well as the other children. MOANA was gentle and kind and patient. The other hula girl was great as well. The chief was great. I was so pleased with everything.. I don’t know how I will top next year’s party theme.”
Islanders Luau has events for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate events, community events, retirement parties, you name it! They are at exclusive homes, swanky hotels, parks, beaches, community centers, company facilities or parking lots, and humble homes. We can decorate, feed, and entertain! This show was for a girls' basketball team's award banquet, so they didn't want to spend money on decor. No problem. We are here to please--and we did!
“AMAZING! Everything was so great! Thank you so much! We will definitely be booking you guys again. Great show and great food! Thank you again, you guys made our basketball banquet memorable for the girls.”
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! ”
Every year we do more and more weddings!
“I can’t thank all of you enough for the wonderful luau. You are a very talented, lovely group of people. I appreciate everything!”
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!”
Talega San Clemente is usually our most extravagant luau of the year! Lei greeters, island decorations, craft "villages" for the kids, catering for 650 people, and a Polynesian show including a live band!
“This year was wonderful! You guys did a fabulous job and I really appreciate working with you. I’m going to meet with my team later this week and I will let you know of any changes for next year!”
Irene and Ken hired Islanders Luau for their anniversary at the beginning of the year and they liked it so much that they decided to have a luau for more of their friends 6 months later. Below is their response after the 2nd show.
“Good afternoon Maril, just to let you know the performance was absolutely outstanding, everyone at the party simply enjoyed every moment and they were very surprised to see how beautiful the costumes and dancers were. Harvey and Toto were wonderful with so much energy. They had the audience laughing..... Thank you so very much!!”
Since this movie came out, Islanders Luau has been doing a lot more children's birthday parties than usual.
“Islanders Luau was amazing! Very thorough and professional. The guests were highly entertained. The coconut demonstration was fun! Moana was amazing. Song, dance, music! Such a memorable experience. I can’t wait until we can use them again!”
Islanders Luau has lots of options for entertaining the whole family at company luaus. Read what Vivian thought about her Islanders Luau party!
“I can’t say enough good things about Maril and Islanders Luau! We hired them for our company picnic luau at Lake Mission Viejo. Maril and his team were exceptional—very personable and professional! The island demonstrations and Tiki Photo Booth were big hits, and now we know how to crack a coconut! Such a fun demo!!! The show was wonderful and entertaining, and the island music playing throughout the event was lovely! The food was not just good—it was fantastic! The Islanders crew was very well organized and on top of everything!! I recommend this company to anyone looking for a quality, lovely island experience to enhance their event!!”
We decorated a company's parking lot in San Diego, grilled our teriyaki chicken, served it on our gorgeous buffet, gave guests custom tattoos, and entertained them with our lovely hula maidens and our fierce haka warriors. The CEO was pretty happy....
“Maril, everyone had a great time. You guys did a great job. Please put me down for June 21st and Sept 22 in 2018. I want to book every year, first and last day of Summer. Let me know what you need from me. Thanks! ”
A law firm in Carlsbad hired us for their company luau, and they asked for the works--lots of dancers, full-catering, a pig, photo booth, and decor.
“Islander’s Luau put on an amazing event for my firm party of 80 people. Everything was perfect—every person on the team was very nice, personable, professional, and easy to work with. The food was excellent and the show was fabulous. My co-workers are calling the party THE LEGENDARY LUAU!!”
We worked with Patrice for over a year (!) to help her plan her company luau for 180 people at Toro Irrigation Company in Riverside. It included some great island props, pig ceremony and the show. Since they were on a tight schedule we organized the catering so that we fed all 180 people in about 20 mins. Even though their business presentations went over their time schedule, we were able to make up for it and accomplish their luau event on-time.
“I’ve gotten lots of emails and complements this morning on what a great event we had yesterday and what a great time people had…you all put on a wonderful show, and the food was great! One person also asked for your info as he is going to suggest you guys for his friend’s sister’s wedding reception. Hopefully this will generate more business for you all! Again, thank you so much…it was great working with you!!”
