Indian Wells

Hoping that the rain wouldn’t come down, Islanders Luau was asked to help with a 70th Birthday Luau in early April at the Indian Wells Country Club.  It was a great time with our on-site Hawaiian BBQ Grill, Polynesian entertainment and island props and décor.  Everyone at the event had been to Hawaii many times but they didn’t realize that we could bring the islands to them right there in the desert.  Here was their reaction provided to us on the following day.

“Absolutely fabulous event, thanks to you and the Islanders Luau team! Many, many comments that this was the best party of the season! All aspects were exemplary - the food, entertainment, decorations, and the businesslike manner in which this event was put together! Your staff was most pleasant and efficient. I can hardly wait to plan another Luau complete with the Kalua pig, Islander band and many more dancers!

Please feel free to use our reference to future clients. I have planned many events over the past 30 years, both personal and corporate, and am most impressed by how efficiently the process was in pulling this event together. It was worth every cent!”

Farewell Luau near Old Town San Diego

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. 

Harley Davidson Bike Nights

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.  

Polynesian Wedding in Murrieta

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.”

Long Beach Boat Parade

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. 

Talega HOA

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 performed for and served more than 100 guests of the Keyways Winery in Temecula.

A Well-Deserved Birthday

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

Univeristy of California Riverside

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.

Highland High school

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.”
