We have been hired by Golden West College two years in a row to entertain in the middle of their campus as students go to and from classes and hang out. Check it out with this video!
“Islanders Luau provided excellent entertainment, palm weaving, photo booths, temporary tattoo station, and great food for Golden West College’s Financial Aid Awareness Day Festival! All the students loved it!”
Maril loves his job--making people happy on important days of their lives! At Islanders Luau we work very hard to make everything turn out and we love it when customers take the time to write reviews!
"This company is so awesome. We hired them for my wedding Luau. People talked about it for weeks after! It was so special and authentic. I was able to do my backyard wedding at a reasonable price, but it felt like such an exotic experience. During the planning stages Maril put my mind at ease. He was so fun, charming--and during the show--hilarious. He delivered over the top as an entertainer and fire dancer. His niece Kayla (sp?) greeted everyone with the ukulele and then was an amazing dancer. We chose the pig ceremony as well so my sons loved that! I highly recommend this company in every way. It makes me want to think of another reason to do it again! " -- Judith
“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! :) ”
“Everything was awesome and amazing — the food, the entertainment — everything was just awesome. MOANA was amazing! My lil one was so excited as well as the other children. MOANA was gentle and kind and patient. The other hula girl was great as well. The chief was great. I was so pleased with everything.. I don’t know how I will top next year’s party theme.”
We had a great time helping to celebrate the father-in-law's birthday with lei greeters to greet the guests, Hawaiian catering, and a fun Polynesian show!
“Thank you for making my father-in-law’s birthday so special. You provide an amazing experience. I could not have asked for a more perfect experience. You and your team made this party. Friendly and professional. You brought the true Aloha spirit! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Here’s a picture that was too good not to share!! Mahalo my friends!”
A mom went all out for her daughter's sixth birthday party luau in Newport Beach! We hope she calls us back when she turns 16!
“Incredible performers! Very professional! We felt like we were at an actual luau in our own backyard. This team is perfect if you want the best in Hawaiian entertainment. Highly recommend!! 10 stars!”
Islanders Luau has events for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, corporate events, community events, retirement parties, you name it! They are at exclusive homes, swanky hotels, parks, beaches, community centers, company facilities or parking lots, and humble homes. We can decorate, feed, and entertain! This show was for a girls' basketball team's award banquet, so they didn't want to spend money on decor. No problem. We are here to please--and we did!
“AMAZING! Everything was so great! Thank you so much! We will definitely be booking you guys again. Great show and great food! Thank you again, you guys made our basketball banquet memorable for the girls.”
“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. ”
“Maril and his crew did a fabulous job for our Firm’s Retirement Party this past Saturday. Islanders Luau was amazing! It was a truly fun Luau experience!! Thank you Islanders Luau!!”
Guests flew in from all over the world for this corporate event at beautiful Paradise Point in San Diego last Monday. Our customer had told us that the VP of Facebook and an executive for Google would be there. After the show when we were taking pictures with guests, this man came over to get a picture. Several people came over and excitedly whispered, "That's our CEO!!!!" You would think he was Troy Palumalu or "The Rock" or someone like that by how star-struck they all were!
“You guys were incredible! Thank you for being so amazing and wonderful to work with. It was such a pleasure to have you all and the guests had the best time last night! Thank you and please share our gratitude with your whole team!”
“On behalf of President/CEO and & “Village Chief” Tom Lent, and Southland Credit Union, I want to commend your team for the outstanding job Islanders Luau did in hosting our Annual Kick-Off Event! From the introductory meeting with you on the phone to the planning and execution of the food, entertainment and decor, everything was handled with the utmost care to detail. I was most impressed with everyone’s professionalism, responsiveness to my inquiries and great pre-event prep. The detail that went into the table settings and flowers was outstanding. Everyone raved about the wonderful food. Thank you for your guidance in selecting the island menu. The servers were upbeat and very helpful. Your talented entertainers gave an outstanding performance. I have been hearing everyone talking about how fun it was to get up out of their seats and participate with the entertainers. Our experience was further enhanced by the fabulous band who played beautiful island music for the evening. I appreciate them setting up early and playing as everyone arrived. Thank you again for hosting our corporate event with exceptional service. ”
“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!!!”
We Bring the Islands to You!
“Maril and his son, Solo, did a fabulous job catering our luau. He even greeted our guests as they arrived by giving out tasty samples while grilling. Everyone raved about their food and their great personalities. They truly brought the aloha spirit. Thanks for the broke da mouth grinds. Very ono! ”
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!!”
This was an impressive little party for a six year old! The Islanders crew brought hula chicken, pulled pork, mac salad, fried rice, and Hawaiian rolls, plus entertainment for all.
“Another amazing event by Islanders Luau! They showed up early for set-up. Very thorough and professional service. Great talent. Moana was amazing! The coconut demonstration was so cool! Food was great. Entertaining performance by all! Thank you for another memorable event!”
Every year we do more and more weddings!
“I can’t thank all of you enough for the wonderful luau. You are a very talented, lovely group of people. I appreciate everything!”
