Review Centre: Steel Drum Players

"Julie and her team were great! They were all very professional and sounded amazing. Our videographer seemed to have missed the audio recording of the big moment when I entered the ceremony and walked down the aisle. Julie and her team have graciously offered to re record this specialized music so I have it forever!"

"Awesome! Chris Arpad was the perfect selection for entertainment for our 16th Annual Golf Dinner. The crowd loved his drumming skills along with his his melodic vocals. He sang songs that appealed to all age groups in the crowd. He was definitely a 5-Star guy and I would definitely book him again. Thank you so much Chris. "

"Chris was fantastic! Chris was fantastic! We hired Chris just 24 hours before a wonderful large graduation party. He came all the way from Reseda to Newport Beach and played for over three hours straight. Everyone commented how great it was to have live music and his drums were beautiful sounding and his backing vocals made it much more fun and lively than just a steel drum presentation. We highly recommend Chris. He’s courteous, he showed up on time, he cheerful but most of all he’s a great entertainer for a classy party. Thank you Chris!"

"When planning my daughter's wedding, which was always destined to be a multicultural blend of music genres, styles, and rhythmic offerings, I was set on finding that flair to entertain our guests with a little taste of their own familiar music and I happened upon the One Man Steel Drum Band on a popular gig website. With the union of the kids spanning the globe and including West Indian, Latin, and Russian culture, this was a perfect choice! Upon establishing contact with John Skoczen, I realized very quickly that he would be an effective and professional communicator who cared not only about his role in our event but also the appeal of such things as attire, the set list, any particular requests related to the guests, and the full gamut of helping us to make our event delightful. John consistently maintained contact with me regarding updates, directions, and special elements. No portions of our interactions were confusing for me. He was so patient and understanding upon arriving at the venue whereas I was as a scattered and frazzled mother of the bride and coordinator. He quickly became like family, AND his talent is out of this world! I will definitely be booking John again for a future occasion. Allie B. Texas Wedding - Memorial Day 2019"

"We were absolutely blown away by our violinist, Julian, at my daughter’s wedding. The music created such a magical atmosphere from the ceremony to the reception. Every song was played beautifully and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much it elevated the day. Professional, talented, and truly gifted, having him perform was one of the best decisions we made. He didn’t just play music he created memories we will treasure forever. "

"Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events. "

Thank you Jannette! It was a special performance for me as well. Your cousin was a dear and I am always amazed at the power of music to reach all of us. I grateful that you chose me to perform for this special birthday. It will always be a treasured memory!

"I had the pleasure of having Jessica La play at my daughter's bridal shower this past weekend and it was an absolutely delightful experience. She brought an elegant and sophisticated touch to the event, creating a beautiful and serene atmosphere that my guests thoroughly enjoyed. From the moment she began to play, it was clear that Jessica is a talented and skilled musician. The selection of pieces was perfect for the occasion, and she performed them with great finesse. Many of my guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and how it added to the overall ambiance of the event. In addition to her musical talent, Jessica was professional and personable, arriving on time and seamlessly integrating into the flow of the event. Her presence was a wonderful addition, and I am so grateful for the beautiful music she provided. I would highly recommend Jessica for any event. She truly made the bridal shower special and memorable. Thank you Jessica, you are amazing!"

"Jessica La brought pure magic to our wedding day with her enchanting piano performance. Her music, a perfect blend of classic tunes and contemporary hits, set the scene for a relaxed and delightful atmosphere during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Jessica's ability to cater to our millennial crowd with throwbacks to the '90s was truly impressive. Throughout the planning process, she was a breeze to work with—communicative, open-minded, and quick to respond to our requests. Her stylish and classy demeanor added an extra touch of elegance to our event. We couldn't have asked for a better pianist to bring our wedding day dreams to life. Thank you, Jessica, for making our day absolutely perfect!"

"We saw Steelasophical at a friend’s wedding, they were so good, we felt that we had to book them for our special day on Saturday 27th August at Hintlesham Golf Club. Thanks guys, you did an amazing job, an awesome collection of songs created a great atmosphere for our drinks reception. All our guests loved you and we loved seeing you again to enjoy a unique sound that really started our wedding reception off in the best way possible. Book these guys, they are amazing! Love the new Mr & Mrs Clark, Felixstowe."

"Jessica played the piano for our wedding ceremony on June 4th 2022 and I can’t even begin to express how amazing and perfect it was. She is so talented and was open to playing all of the songs that we had chosen, even if they were not on her repertoire list. Every song that she played was so elegant and beautiful. My favourite being a song by Ludovico Einaudi. Unfortunately we had to postpone our wedding a few times and she was always so sweet, supportive, and accommodating when choosing our new dates. She is very professional and was quick to respond if ever I had any questions regarding song choices or about the ceremony in general. I highly recommend Jessica La and I can honestly say that our ceremony wouldn’t have been the same without her. It was truly magical! I can’t wait to sit back and watch the raw footage. Thank-you Jessica! <3"
