“Coming from an experienced event planner, I highly recommend this company. They will accommodate your requests promptly and will reasonably work around your budget! My team from Miracle’s Dream Event are all satisfied, grateful, and for sure will definitely seek out their service again!
The Islanders Luau team, headed by Vivian, did an awesome job providing their specialty Hawaiian dishes to over a thousand guests. Regardless of your guest count, hundreds or thousands, Vivian will treat your event fairly and you’ll be able to see how passionate his team is. They also provided Hawaiian decor which is a MUST to include in your event. Can’t wait for another team collaboration with your company, Vivian!”
“I hired Islanders Luau for my 60th birthday party and they did not disappoint! Excellent performers! Thank you, thank you!!”
“We had a graduation luau in August and hired Islanders Luau for our entertainment. We were very pleased with the show and the entire performance. The girls were wonderful and the fire dance was amazing! Everyone keeps talking about it and saying it was the best party they’ve been to! We all had an amazing time!”
“Wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for working around our crazy schedule! We appreciate it. Please let the girls know that we have gotten such positive feedback. Cannot say thank you ENOUGH!”
“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.”
“Your performers MADE my mom’s birthday truly special! Thank you. All three performers were amazing and my whole family really enjoyed them. I can’t thank you enough. ”
“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.”
“I want to thank you for the amazing team that you have. Our teammates are still talking about how much fun they had! The audience participation was so much fun as well. I hope to work with you and your amazing team again.”
“Maril – thank you so very much to you and your amazing family! You were a big part of our visitors getting in the spirit of the evening and we cannot thank you enough! Thank you again, you made our day so delightful.”
“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!
“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!”
“Maril is amazing to work with! He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about all aspects for arranging an authentic luau.
He offers several menu choices, live and recorded music, dancers; male and female, and many other great extras. The food is delicious, the entertainment is great, the décor is beautiful and his staff is friendly and attentive to your requests.
I submitted several revisions to my menu and he was responsive to all my requests in a timely manner. I would recommend Islander’s Luau to anyone wanting to host an authentic luau.
Islander’s Luau is a complete package for ALL your luau party needs. The only thing you have to provide are your guests!”
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
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!”
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!!!”
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!”
A couple of weeks ago, the Islanders Luau crew got to razzle-dazzle some folks at a luau at this Hollywood legend's former estate. Super fun!
