“
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.

“Islanders Luau did not disappoint! We had them perform at our corporate event in Costa Mesa for a large group of Engineers. They kept all of our attendees enthused and engaged! Their entire group was professional and very talented. The fire dance performance by “The Chief” was a big hit and the audience participation added to the full experience. We are looking forward to working with Islanders Luau again soon!”

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!”

— Margo, Catering Director at Anaheim Marriott

“Maril and all the crew at Islander’s Luau did an amazing job providing a full service luau in keeping with the traditions and events one would expect from a luau in the islands.
The food was delicious, plentiful, fresh and hot—since they grilled it on site.
The Islander’s took care of everything... decorations, food, entertainment, DJ, set up and breakdown. Our guests loved the interactive Polynesian show. I highly recommend the palm frond weaving activity which was enjoyed by young & old alike.
Maril accommodated all of my special requests and was flexible and helpful. He has a way of being easy going while still managing to stay on top of all communications and late requests. We will be recommending Islanders Luau to all our friends and using Islanders Luau for many years to come.”

“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!

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.”
