Review Centre: Steel Drum Players

"Beautiful music Chris was pleasant and friendly and attentive to our needs. He played well. I should have been more clear about the timing of his playing, as we would have preferred more playing at the end of the service than the beginning, but I take responsibility for not making that more clear.

"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."

"I always like sharing new discoveries with everyone especially when they work for any of our destinations. Specifically, Chris Arpad, a one-man steel drummer is incredible for just about any event. But his talents are not just limited to the steel drum rather a plethora of music genres. We have used Chris now for several events and has been a great hit each time and works well especially when a client wants a large band with a small budget."

"Shack N Up is a wonderfully talented duo who sings a wide variety of genres sure to please everyone. They are high energy, professional, not to mention uber talented. They always get the audience singing, dancing, and clapping along to recognizable tunes. Chuck and Cheri always draw the crowd to whatever venue they are playing. I highly recommend them!"

"I used master musicians for our micro wedding. We wanted elegant music that contributed to , rather than overpowered our ceremony. Using a violin and cello it was perfect. Their communication was excellent with multiple choices of instruments and and a huge music selection. Choosing which pieces of music was the only difficult part of the whole experience. They helped me make decisions and on the day the atmosphere they provided was perfect! They played on the sand in florida 85+ degree heat and were note perfect, then moved inside for the cocktail hour. They were amazing and I loved having them be an integral part of our special day."

"My Seniors Came Alive! Oh man! Where to start! I had seniors with Parkinson’s up and dancing! The upbeat, energetic music mixed with Caribbean-esc vocals had my seniors (ranging from 80 to 95 years old) up and moving like they were 20 again! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you so much for bringing so much life to our senior community! "

"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"

"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!"
