Experience and Know-how count!

Islanders Luau’s experience and know-how was fully exhibited before and during the luau at Four Seasons this past Saturday. I can categorically say that everyone in attendance had an enjoyable and memorable experience. The catering crew (Soli, Josh, Zachary) got the preparation going right way. The food was excellent, the entertainment was fantastic. We had tons of compliments of the entertainment, the performance of the emcee (Harvey), and the dancers (Toto, Annette, Chelsea, Sam and Alejandra). Our thanks for Vivian being here assisting and directing the preparation and food distribution, and generally being available to answer questions we had for him.
The tone was set as the guests arrived. They were greeted by Harvey wearing a lava-lava strumming his ukulele with an “aloha” welcome. They entered the plaza to a floral display, the smell of teriyaki chicken cooking, and the delightful Hawaiian music. The residents inspected the presentation of the roasted pig as it was carried by “warriors” (residents in lava lava), and was greeted by “ohohohs and ahahahs.”
It was a wonderful evening. An evening which we can hopefully reproduce in 2024.

The Perfect Birthday Party!
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.

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!

Catering Director at Anaheim Marriott

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!

We did two different very elaborate luaus for 4 year olds this week!
Maril, Thank you SO much! You and your crew were amazing. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. We can’t thank you enough for making our night so special. Everything far exceeded our expectations, and I left my highest review on both FB and Yelp!! I can’t tell you how many of our guests were raving about you, the food & your services. I really appreciated how responsive and timely you were to all my inquiries, messages & special requests, thank you! You put on an amazing show... Impressive fire dancing too, Maril!!
I look forward to using Islander’s again in the future. A very big Mahalo to you & all the employees who were there!

The second 4 year old’s party was an over-the-top Lilo & Stitch birthday party! Not only did they hire us to cater, entertain, and decorate, but they also hired an event planner who set up several huge tents with false ceilings to look like you were in the ocean with huge fish swimming above you, and also lots of wall sized Lilo & Stitch posters, an artist who sketched caricatures of guests onto coconuts, and she brought in special guests, Lilo & Stitch. Check out the video below!

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.
