"Incredible Show"!
Screen+Shot+2020-06-26+at+3.28.07+PM.jpg
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!

If I could give this company 10 stars, I would! I highly recommend Meril and his team of performers. They did an amazing job of bringing the Islands to my fiancé’s birthday party. They had a very professional staff, excellent communication, they arrived on time, excellent costumes and they really got the crowd engaged.

The Food Was To Die For!

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.

Who is this man?!

Guests flew in from all over the world for this corporate event at beautiful Paradise Point in San Diego last Monday.  Our customer had told us that the VP of Facebook and an executive for Google would be there.  After the show when we were taking pictures with guests, this man came over to get a picture.  Several people came over and excitedly whispered, "That's our CEO!!!!"  You would think he was Troy Palumalu or "The Rock" or someone like that by how star-struck they all were!

You guys were incredible! Thank you for being so amazing and wonderful to work with. It was such a pleasure to have you all and the guests had the best time last night! Thank you and please share our gratitude with your whole team!

Company Event for Southwest Credit Union
DSC_0709.JPG
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.

50th Wedding Anniversary

A review that is this positive is quite intimidating for us to live up to, but the Islanders Luau crew truly strives to make each event the very best possible.  We know that our customers are throwing a party for very special reasons, and it is important for us to make it a success!

I cannot Thank you enough for the amazing evening you created by bringing the Islands to us for my parents’ 50th Anniversary!

Ohana is the best word I can think of to describe Maril and the Islander’s Luau! Words can hardly describe how Maril and his family far exceeded all of our expectations for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary! My parents have visited the Islands of Hawaii for the last 50 years of their marriage as a place for vacation, rejuvenation, and for the love of each other and the Islands!
When I first spoke with Maril he stated that they would bring the Islands to us!! That is the very best explanation to describe all that Maril brought to our celebration! The experienced dancers, the delicious food, the authentic music, the engaging costumes, and the warm people of the Islands created the passion for the Islands! Everyone that had ever attended a luau in Hawaii, stated, commented, and expressed that the Islander’s Luau was the very best Luau that they had ever attended!!
I will say that Maril felt like family the moment I met him and I chose Islander’s Luau simply by looking on the internet and talking to Maril over the phone! He is a genuine, personable, warm, authentic, professional, courteous, talented, engaging, and an impressive Chief!!
I know that my Daughter and my Father both posted a review to Yelp. I was also able to post a review on Yelp but the site continues to say it is having a problem. This is what I posted to Yelp and please feel free to re-post if you can get the google site to work.
Thank you Maril and your family so sincerely for being a part of our family, ohana! Mahalo

Kindest and Warmest regards!

Toro Company Party

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!!

25 Years of Aloha!

Islanders Luau helped Irene and Ken celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary with island catering, entertainment and a Photo Booth!

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Islanders luau—we had one of the most beautiful Anniversaries ever. They were very accommodating and very friendly, helpful & extremely courteous. They were on time and the food was fantastic, and the entertainment was exceptionally beautiful!!!! Our guests were blown away how everything had ran smoothly and on time. To this day they are still talking about it. We wish to thank Maril and his staff for the most memorable anniversary party ever. Islanders Luau deserves five stars, hands-down!

Engagement Party

Islanders Luau is chosen for many weddings and anniversaries, as well as this engagement party, because we throw a luau like what you would see on the islands, rather than a luau that came out of the local party store.  Our luaus have island ambiance--perfect for romance!  From our impressive catering table, to our professional entertainment, We Bring the Islands To You!

Islanders Luau is awesome!! I had an engagement party for my daughter. We had lei greeters, their Kalua Pig ceremony, and the full Polynesian show. The food was great, and the whole crew was perfect! What a fun night! I want to have another Luau! Thanks Islanders Luau for a fun entertaining evening!
