“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!!”
“Aloha, Maril! I want to congratulate your team on helping me to execute a phenomenal luau for my 40th birthday. Everything was incredible, and all of my guests were blown away by how amazing everything was, from the food to the entertainment to the pig ceremony. The team was professional and polite and felt like ohana.
The food: Everyone was raving about the food, especially the meatballs and the chicken. And there was plenty of it. Some of my guests were able to go away with some take-home boxes, and my family brought home a bag of pork and a bag of fried rice to eat the following day. It was perfect.
The pig ceremony: my guests were amazed and thought that was the neatest thing. Many of them kept saying that they’ve never seen anything like that except for in Hawaii. And the pig was delicious too!
The bartender: Matt Schwartz was the guy that the company sent. I don’t know if you typically contract with this company, but Matt was phenomenal. He was exactly what I wanted.
The music: We loved all of the authentic island music. There was a little bit of everything, and it was fun seeing my family dance and have a good time.
The set up and tear down: The team was great and placing the decor and everything as I had envisioned it. It came out exactly like the picture in my head. Even better.
The show: Everyone did a fabulous job. The kane was super impressive with his fire dancing, and the girls danced beautifully and really got my guests to get into the fun with a few crowd participation dances.
There is nothing I would have changed. Everything was just wonderful. Such an incredible memory I was able to create with my family and friends with the help of your team.
I put together a little video of the evening for you. 🌺 I may upload it to YouTube and then send the link to you.
I will absolutely recommended Islanders Luau to anyone seeking a phenomenal all-inclusive dinner, decor and show. I’m also going to do a Yelp review for you. Please let me know if there is any other place you’d like me to do a review.
May God bless your ministry of hospitality to others.”
“Wow! Your catering was amazing! Kevin and Faith were awesome, everyone loved the food and the pig was on point! Samoans know their pig! Thank you so very much for providing the food for our event!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
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!”
“This company was awesome! Maril and his team were the real deal in delivering an authentic Hawaiian luau. They made my wedding Luau the most amazing experience! My guests felt really spoiled and everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever been to! From the pre- planning to the delivery I give this company 5 stars! We added the pig ceremony to their beautiful buffet setup. During the show Maril kept us laughing, but also in awe of the fire dance. His niece, Kayleen, was an exceptional dancer and we loved her greeting the guests with her ukulele. Everything was so special! The food, the entertainment, the organization—everything—was top notch. I will always have a wonderful memory of that magical night. ”
“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!”
“Hi Maril. As the kids and I have been eating the left overs for the last two days, I am reminded to thank all of you for the awesome food and service you provided. I know you went above and beyond and we thank you for all you did. You and your crew were awesome. ”
