“We had such a fantastic experience with your company!!! The employees were extremely professional and friendly! I received many, many compliments not only on the fabulous meal which was top notch, but how very beautiful the table was decorated. It literally took our breath away, it was sooooo nice! 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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much, the event was a complete success. Everyone loved the food, especially the Huli Chicken. It was ONO-licious =)”
“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! :) ”
“Islanders Luau put on an event for 80 people for my firm. 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. We would recommend this company to anyone planning a fun luau.”
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!!!”
A well-known review site uses an algorithm to decide which reviews are true and which ones are fake. Anything they deem to be fake is listed as "not currently recommended". Not only has their algorithm rejected reviews from our friends and family--even if they were paying clients, but they have also rejected twelve 5-star reviews from clients who spent their valuable time writing heartfelt reviews. Here they are!
Islanders Luau was asked to come to Newport Dunes for a company's Family and Friends Luau, and not only did the company write a great review, but the Newport Dunes Manager did, too! This place is fun for the whole family!
“I was so impressed with Islanders Luau!! What a great entertainment experience for all!! The Newport Dunes will definitely use your company for all future events with a luau theme!! Thank you!”
“My company hired Islanders Luau for the entertainment portion only, since the venue would not allow outside food vendors. The entire team was professional and courteous, and they showed up when they said they would to set up. We had the decor, band, male and female dancers and lei greeter. They really made our company/client event special and everyone had a great time! Thank you again to Maril and his team for a job well done!”
Guests in Rancho Cucamonga were greeted with the wonderful aroma of Islanders on-site grill, while they were entertained with our Islanders "Villages" getting island tattoos, making leis, and learning the hula. Our Teriyaki Chicken Bowl and Pulled-Pork Bowl with grilled vegetables were enjoyed by all. The evening was topped off by Islander Luau hula girls and a fire dancer!
“Thank you, again, to your AMAZING STAFF AND ENTERTAINERS!!! Residents are still telling me how much fun they had!”
“This is our second time using Islanders Luau Entertainment & Catering. We loved them the first time and even though there are other companies out there, I can’t imagine using anyone else. From catering, to performances and even their amazing decorations, they do it all flawlessly. Maril and his group bring their heart and soul into every aspect. The food was excellent. My guests especially loved the chicken and salmon barbequed on site, and the pig ceremony was a huge hit. Each performance was great, but the fire dance at the end of the evening was exceptional and definitely “wowed” my guests. For many, it was their first taste of the islands and definitely left them wanting more. The Islanders not only bring the beauty and traditions of the islands, they also bring a true sense of “ohana” family, and make you feel like you are part of theirs. Mahalo Maril, Susiana, and all the Islanders!”
The Islanders love feeding and entertaining our service men and women and their families at luaus every chance we get. We give them a deal every time, because not only is the beach at Camp Pendleton beautiful, but the men and women who serve there are awesome--respectful, appreciative, and incredibly helpful. They always cheerfully volunteer to help us carry our huge tikis, coolers, and such, through the sand to help us set up and to clean up afterward. This is the flag they carried for an event they had last year. God bless America and thank you, Marines!
“We were able to bring the Islands to our Military Community of De Luz Housing on Camp Pendleton. It was truly a wonderful experience. The food was AMAZING. The entertainment was interactive and truly gave you the experience of being on the Islands. We had excellent feedback from our Community. We look forward in working with the Islanders Luau again! Thank you for supporting our Military!”
