“Mahalo, Maril! I can’t thank you enough for providing a world class performance at my Mom’s party. You guys made her day and have pleased all our guests very well. You guys are awesome and I can’t wait to organize another luau for another celebration. Please send my regards and commendation to your amazing Hula dancer, Kiara.”
“Family owned and operated, Maril and his crew were very accommodating, friendly and funny. The food was sooooo yummy and the show was phenomenal! I highly recommend Islanders Luau. :)

“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!”

I would recommend you anytime and gladly give you a great review !! I had several texts and phone calls yesterday and they all mentioned how great the food and entertainment was !!!!

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!”
A popular review site drives small businesses crazy because they only post a small percentage of the positive reviews that are submitted. Reviews that they think could be fake are pushed into a “not currently recommended” area of their site. We feel that if our customers went to the trouble to write a review, we should let them be posted…. right here. Here are the screen shots of all of our reviews that weren’t “recommended” for 2018, plus two reviews from 2019. They are all real customers!
“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!”
“We used Islanders Luau for an event for 100 guests. Their staff was wonderful. The food was exceptional. Maril made it very easy to plan the event. We highly recommend this company!!!
ALOHA!!!!!!”
Our whole family pulled together to put on a big-time luau for Great-Grandpa, whose congregation could only afford a very modest luau . Thirteen family members came from all over to help out with grilling, catering, decorating, singing, dancing, and of course cleanup. Dr. Nathan Beck drove 5 hours with his family of five, so they could sing a Samoan hymn which their boys had learned in Sunday School while living in Samoa. The four and five year old boys also danced with Grandpa and Dad for the first time.
“We want to thank you and your family for the wonderful luau that was presented for the Palmyra Church social. You have an amazing family. Thank your family for a wonderful evening.”
“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. ”
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!!”
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!”
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!”
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!”
“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!”
