25 Years of Aloha!

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!”

Two reviews for one event!

Islanders Luau was asked to come to Newport Dunes for a company's Family and Friends Luau, and not only did the company write a great review, but the Newport Dunes Manager did, too! This place is fun for the whole family!

“I was so impressed with Islanders Luau!! What a great entertainment experience for all!! The Newport Dunes will definitely use your company for all future events with a luau theme!! Thank you!”

— --Kristi M., Corporate Sales Manager

“My company hired Islanders Luau for the entertainment portion only, since the venue would not allow outside food vendors. The entire team was professional and courteous, and they showed up when they said they would to set up. We had the decor, band, male and female dancers and lei greeter. They really made our company/client event special and everyone had a great time! Thank you again to Maril and his team for a job well done!”

Luau at Jack Benny's Iconic Palm Springs Estate

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!

Engagement Party

Islanders Luau is chosen for many weddings and anniversaries, as well as this engagement party, because we throw a luau like what you would see on the islands, rather than a luau that came out of the local party store.  Our luaus have island ambiance--perfect for romance!  From our impressive catering table, to our professional entertainment, We Bring the Islands To You!

“Islanders Luau is awesome!! I had an engagement party for my daughter. We had lei greeters, their Kalua Pig ceremony, and the full Polynesian show. The food was great, and the whole crew was perfect! What a fun night! I want to have another Luau! Thanks Islanders Luau for a fun entertaining evening!”

Everything looked fantastic, was on time and went smoothly. Your team did a wonderful job! Cheers to many more years to come!!”

Senior Entertainers!

It is always a pleasure for Islanders Luau to work with "The Greatest Generation"!

“We had a Luau at our Senior center and Islanders Luau and Maril made it a great one. They showed up on time and were very accommodating. The food tasted wonderful. During the Show they included the seniors, which they really liked. I would definately recommend working with Islanders Luau for you Luau!”

Vintner's Grove Luau

Guests in Rancho Cucamonga were greeted with the wonderful aroma of Islanders on-site grill, while they were entertained with our Islanders "Villages" getting island tattoos, making leis, and learning the hula.  Our Teriyaki Chicken Bowl and Pulled-Pork Bowl with grilled vegetables were enjoyed by all.   The evening was topped off by Islander Luau hula girls and a fire dancer!

“Thank you, again, to your AMAZING STAFF AND ENTERTAINERS!!! Residents are still telling me how much fun they had!”

Spectacular San Juan Capistrano Luau!

“This is our second time using Islanders Luau Entertainment & Catering. We loved them the first time and even though there are other companies out there, I can’t imagine using anyone else. From catering, to performances and even their amazing decorations, they do it all flawlessly. Maril and his group bring their heart and soul into every aspect. The food was excellent. My guests especially loved the chicken and salmon barbequed on site, and the pig ceremony was a huge hit. Each performance was great, but the fire dance at the end of the evening was exceptional and definitely “wowed” my guests. For many, it was their first taste of the islands and definitely left them wanting more. The Islanders not only bring the beauty and traditions of the islands, they also bring a true sense of “ohana” family, and make you feel like you are part of theirs. Mahalo Maril, Susiana, and all the Islanders!”

Island Wedding in San Diego

Islanders Luau was flattered to be chosen by a Polynesian bride's family who take their Hawaiian food very seriously! 

“Islanders Luau, thank you so much for helping our wedding turn out more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of! Thank you especially for helping choose the tropical flowers, beause we had no idea where to begin. Thank you, Maril, for the amazing food and service you provided. I had so many compliments on the food and display! ♡♡♡ ”

Online review from a happy customer....

“OMG, if you want to throw an amazing luau and guarantee a fabulous time, then look no further than Islanders Luau!!! We just used them for our party this past Saturday night and they did a FANTASTIC job. The accolades that we have been (and still are) receiving from our guests are out of this world. Everything they did from the gorgeous floral arrangements to the island props to the hula girls and fire dancer were sensational. Maril and his team are the best of the best, I will use them again and again and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.”

A luau fit for a king!

Children's birthday parties are enjoyed by all ages when Islanders Luau gets involved.

“We had Islanders cater our son’s 5th Birthday Luau-as well as perform a show-it brought us back to our recent trip to Maui where we attended the best Luau on the island....that was our intent-to share what we experienced with our friends&family (some of whom are Hawaiian). It was a perfect day for our little king. I have already recommended them to others.”

— Laura C.

California Reception

It is amazing how many wedding reception luaus we have done!  We do our very best to make their day special and to bring the islands to their guests.    

“I cannot say enough about this company.....My family and I had our daughter’s California reception this past July 28 here at my home in Temecula. We had 130 people. This company is beyond wonderful!! The food was excellent.....the entertainment was fantastic......wonderful staff/ owner. On a scale from 1 to 10 I’d rate them 100...everyone that came and people that drove by and stopped to watch the show are still talking about our party! Looking for a reason to use them again. Thank you soo much!”

Dana Point Bridal Shower

Islanders Luau showered this bride-to-be and her girlfriends with fresh orchid leis, sumptuous catering, fresh tropical centerpieces, island decor, and luau entertainment in a beautiful Dana Point home.

Toyota of Cat City

Islanders Luau brought the islands to the dessert at the Toyota Dealership in Cathedral City.  Even through it was 112 degrees outside, we still grilled our awesome teriyaki chicken outside. After a sumptuous island buffet, we performed sizzling luau entertainment.

Island Catering for Corporate Event

“Maril—thank you so much for putting on such a beautiful and tasty event. Everyone LOVED the food and said it’s the best party we’ve EVER had. You definitely went above and beyond and I am so grateful for all of your input and help. You made me look good and I appreciate all of your hard work. The party was to show our employees that we appreciate them and they have been coming to my office saying “thank you”—so, clearly, we accomplished what we set out to do! We couldn’t have done such a good job without you. If you ever need a reference for corporate events or anything at all please do not hesitate to give people my contact info so I can give Islander’s Luau a glowing review. Mahalo! ”

"Islanders Luau--great for the brain!" --Neurologist

This was a tricky event to pull off, since the customer changed the venue to the end of Balboa Peninsula on the day before the luau.  Busy crowds, complicated directions, sand....but look at the review!

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Islander’s Luau. I chose them to help celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday party. She told me, “That was the best birthday I ever had or could’ve ever asked for”. The floral arrangements, decorations, costumes, and performances were excellent. They were such an amazing company to work with on top of it all. I had only a few days before my event and was thrilled he was able to make it happen. Their performance and spirit lit up the whole place. I turned around during the performance and took a moment to see all the smiles on the faces of all those I love and turned forward to look at the beautiful smiles and movement of the dancers. It was truly an amazing feeling and a moment I will always remember. I have been to all the islands and have seen luaus at each one I have visited. All I have to say is the performers and quality that I experienced with Islanders Luau exceeded all my expectations and anything I had seen before when visiting. Thank you all. I feel confident in recommending this luau to any and all who may be considering a luau to make their guests and loved ones feel so special.”

Pardee Homes Grand Opening

Islanders Luau barbecued chicken, served up a buffet, and entertained the kids at the grand opening of the beautiful Pardee Homes community pool in Beaumont.

“Thank you Islanders Luau for a great job at my client’s Community Pool grand opening in Beaumont. Maril and his staff went over and above my expectations with food, presentation and entertainment for the kids. The little extra-special touches (decor, flowers and Maril’s outgoing personality and ability to connect with our guests) made the day a great success. I highly recommend Islanders Luau and look forward to using them again.”

Retirement luau in Van Nuys

On Tuesday Islanders Luau was on hand to help ElectroRent say Aloha and farewell to a retiring employee who had worked for over 40 years to build the company.  It was a pleasure for Islanders Luau to work with the ElectroRent team who was just as passionate about their special luau as we were.  Together we were able to provide a luau experience at their company location that will not be forgotten in retirement nor by all who worked over the details to make sure that the Aloha send-off represented their love and gratitude.  The wife of the person retiring came up to us to thank us personally and a member of the company team wrote the following:

“Thank you so very much for an enjoyable event. You and your workers were absolutely the best. The food was fabulous. It was a pleasure doing business with you.”

— LaVergne

We love Camp Pendleton Marines!

The Islanders love feeding and entertaining our service men and women and their families at luaus every chance we get.  We give them a deal every time, because not only is the beach at Camp Pendleton beautiful, but the men and women who serve there are awesome--respectful, appreciative, and incredibly helpful.  They always cheerfully volunteer to help us carry our huge tikis, coolers, and such, through the sand to help us set up and to clean up afterward.  This is the flag they carried for an event they had last year.  God bless America and thank you, Marines!

“We were able to bring the Islands to our Military Community of De Luz Housing on Camp Pendleton. It was truly a wonderful experience. The food was AMAZING. The entertainment was interactive and truly gave you the experience of being on the Islands. We had excellent feedback from our Community. We look forward in working with the Islanders Luau again! Thank you for supporting our Military!”
