In March Islanders Luau was on-hand in Glendale serving our Polynesian Buffet including our Hula Chicken, Mahi Mahi, Hawaiian Short Ribs, and much more.  We also provided some beautiful tikis. Here is the comment received from the customer afterward: 

“The experience was great. The food was prepared very well and was high quality, and everyone raved about it. The setup was also wonderful, with the floral arrangement and umbrellas. I will be sure to leave positive reviews for your company. Thank you and your team for a great night.”

Its always hard to say “Aloha Oe” to family and friends when you are leaving, but easier done island-style.  This was the case as Islanders Luau helped a family say good-bye as they were moving from their beautiful San Diego home.  Family and friends were treated to live Hawaiian music as they walked into the luau and before long everyone was enjoying the beautiful buffet with Hawaiian short ribs, teriyaki chicken and veggies all grilled on-site.  The Polynesian show brought lasting memories especially as friends performed the Hula together, then witnessed the Samoan fire dance. 

Islanders Luau helped out with our third annual Harley Davidson Bike Night.  The Bikers love the teriyaki chicken grilled on-site and of course the whole roasted pig.  When the sun goes down everyone goes inside for the Polynesian show then its pictures on the bikes.  

It was cold outside but you wouldn’t know it as you stepped inside and was taken on a show tour to the islands Hawaii, Tahiti, New Zealand, Samoa, Fiji and Tokelau.  Each of these islands were represented with traditional dances performed from each.  Even the bride was taught the “Siva Siva" from Samoa and did a surprise performance while the Islander family sang the traditional Taualuga.  The wedding also featured the traditional Hawaiian Wedding song, beautifully performed.   The room was totally transformed to a beautiful tropical island with beautiful island props, tropical flower arrangements and palm trees.  The island feast was initiated with the traditional Pua’a pig ceremony.  Then it was time to enjoy the Islanders Luau buffet table with island favorite dishes including: Hula Chicken, Kaneohe fried rice, Hawaiian Mac Salad, Susiana Cabbage Salad, Hawaiian Short Ribs and much much more…

“I was shocked to see the island life take place inside. The food was delicious and the love songs played on guitar before the show brought a smile to my face. It was so much fun being part of the islands for my reception.”

— Breanna - The bride

Islanders Luau gave the Long Beach Boat Parade an Island flair with our Hawaiian BBQ, complete with the whole roasted pig, Sidewalk Island entertainment and of course our island props and décor. The spacing was so close during the fire dance that the audience could feel the fire. As people walked by the whole roasted pig, Chef Kimo offered teasers to those who couldn’t resist asking. 

Islanders Luau completed our 4th year at Talega in San Clemente. There we performed and served over 600 guests.  This is the thank you note we just received:

“Thank you so much for all your hard work at Talega’s luau. You guys rocked it this year. Everything was wonderful from the pig ceremony to the food, to the Polynesian villages and the entertainment. You have outdone yourselves. We look forward to this event with you again!! Thank you!”

Islanders Luau was called upon to provide an exclusive luau held for 200 guests at a beautiful home in Coto De Caza.  We served our buffet and warmed up the audience with our island show. Then, the Henry Kapono Band, the legendary musicians (C&K) from Hawaii finished off the night with all their great island music and dance tunes. 

Islanders Luau performed for and served more than 100 guests of the Keyways Winery in Temecula. Among the guests was California Senator Jeff Stone, who was invited on stage with Chief Luteru to perform the Haka.  It was all in good fun and enjoyed by all.  The Chief was also interviewed on TV by a Chinese television station at the conclusion of the event.

“Thanks for providing us with such a great event! We will definitely contact you if we have any Hawaiian event in the future.”

Islanders Luau helped a family celebrate the 90th birthday of a great man in Hemet, by providing island entertainment.  He was an aviator in WWII and is still a practicing dentist in his community while spending time with his great family.  He and his wife had lived and spent lots of time in the islands and it was only fitting that his family wanted to celebrate his 90th birthday island-style.

“Islanders Luau did such a great job tonight. It made it seem as if we were really in the South Pacific! Thanks for the great show at my birthday luau. You are as good as it gets and Ive seen many!”

— Frank

Islanders Luau provided the on-site Hawaiian Grill, Island Props and Décor, plus great island entertainment for UCRs Anderson School of Business.  It was threatening rain the whole time and we even got a little wet with some light “tropical island rain”. Thankfully we worked well with the UCR faculty and they were prepared with canopies and everything else needed to still have a very successful celebration.  

Islanders Luau was called on to serve our Hawaiian BBQ and perform our Polynesian entertainment for a birthday luau in Newport Beach.  We also provided lots of island props and more.

Islanders Luau was called upon to help with a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new school in Highland.  We had done a family luau for the Principal previously, and she came up with the idea to have the event island style.  It was a pleasure for us to see her again and help her in this important event with great luau catering, Polynesian entertainment and island props. 

“Thank you for doing such a magnificent job yesterday. You and your staff created such a wonderful memory for students, community leaders, my staff, and me. I am forever grateful to you. This is the second time that you have come through for me and I will always refer you to others. I know I will call you again.”

It was a beautiful engagement luau in Huntington Beach this March.  Patricia wanted something special for her daughter and son-in-law who are getting married in Hawaii.  Since not everyone can go to Hawaii, she wanted a special island celebration of the marriage at their home. So we provided live island music, our on-site BBQ menu with the whole roasted pig, luau decorations and props.  We even recorded everything on video and captured some great pics.

“The feedback from my daughter and her fiancée, and family and friends, and of course my husband and self and son, has been full of positive comments, accolades, and sincere appreciation for the awesome job you and your staff did . . . I can’t convey how much everyone enjoyed the food (especially), music, servers, bartender, musician (he is great!), and the photographer.”

— Patricia

Islanders Luau provided an unforgettable luau experience to over 275 employees at the end of March in Cypress, CA. This was a wonderful event with all the trimmings. The food was a hit as was the show that was provided, which included the hula, the haka, and the always-entertaining fire knife dance. As you can see from the photo, even some employees got into the performance.

“You, your staff and the team of performers did a fantastic job! The employees are still talking about the fun they had and how delicious the food was.”
