• Our company sponsored a conference social networking event, and we hired Desert Polynesia to perform and interact with our audience. They were very quick to respond in my email communications with them prior to the event, and they were very accommodating to our requests. Their performance was excellent -- and they were great at getting our attendees involved, which we had asked them to do. We were extremely pleased with them in all aspects, and will definitely hire them again for future events. -- Rebecca M, Houston, TX, 9/14/2011
• We hired Desert Polynesia to entertain 137 graduating high school seniors at a backyeard luau. The kids really enjoyed the performance and their oppotunities volunteer to learn to dance. It was hilarious! We received lots of compliments from the kids. The performers were very accomodating and readily adjusted to a change in our schedule on performance day. They also stayed late to pose for pictures with the kids. We are already considering hiring them again next year for another graduation party. Highly recommend. -- Renee F, Devine, TX, 5/21/2011
• The girls were fabulous. Their smiles radiant as they performed several favorite songs for my mom's 90th birthday. They added "Lovely Hula Hands" for me and my mom actually went up and danced with them - a moment she will not soon forget. They worked with my grandaughter for several minutes and included her on "Little Brown Gal" also one of my mom's favorite. We were all amazed how great it turned out. I would totally recommend them. They were awesome! -- Mary Ann M, San Antonio, TX, 4/30/2011
