An Over-the-top birthday party! “We hired Islanders Luau to provide catering and entertainment for our son’s first birthday party, and it was amazing!!! From working with Maril during the planning process through the event itself, it was seamless and wonderful. We had a full pig with a pig ceremony, and it was the absolute best pork we have ever had. The pig ceremony really set the stage for an awesome party as well. All of the food was delicious and traditional. The show was funny, authentic, and so much fun! We received tons of compliments on the food and show, and we can’t thank Maril and his team enough. If you’re considering hiring Islanders Luau, don’t hesitate to book them! You will be happy you did!!” — — V.P. --Northridge, CA catering, entertainment, hawaiian catering, luau cateringVivian FernandoOctober 5, 2020ilanders luau, islanders lua, birthday party ideas, child's birthdayComment
Banning Community Party “OMG the talent in the young male dancer was breath taking. I totally misjudged him in our short talk before the show. He was so polite, soft spoken and gentle I did not expect that Tiger on the dance floor The ladies had an eyeful they will remember for a while. The young lady was also great. She just seem to float across the floor and I didnt think anyone could move and sway the way she did. Both are so talented and you are lucky, as well as us, to have them. I highly recommend this couple. WOW. Oh yes, one of our ladies has spent a long time on the islands and attended many luaus, but had never seen any of the War Dances. She was so impressed and delighted. If I am still on the committee next year and we have a luau you will be the first we contact.” — Toni entertainment, corporate eventVivian FernandoSeptember 22, 2020ilanders, lua, hula dancers, hawaiian entertainment, hawaiian dancersComment

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.” — With JOY in Jesus, Cheryl Camacho luau catering, cateringVivian FernandoFebruary 1, 2020hawaiian catering near me, luau catering near me, hawaiian entertainment, hula dancers, Whole roast pig, luau decorationsComment
