Reviews of Steel Drum Players available in Miami

5/5 from 70 reviews
Photo of Master Musicians Incorporated Master Musicians Incorporated "I would strongly discourage anyone from using Master Musicians for a wedding. One of the most important moments of our wedding day, the processional, was mishandled despite clear communication and advance planning. Prior to the wedding, I spent over 30 minutes speaking with Julie Block reviewing our ceremony details. During that conversation, we specifically discussed our processional music, including "Can't Help Falling in Love." When I asked whether she already had the sheet music, she told me she did. At no point did she indicate there was any uncertainty about the song selection or that additional information was needed. In addition, all of our songs and ceremony instructions were provided to the company on July 17, 2026, including specific notes regarding instrumental versions. Despite those instructions, our wedding officiant unexpectedly walked in to Taylor Swift vocals being played over the sound system. This was not supposed to happen. The music was intended to be instrumental only. Not only was it inappropriate for that moment, but it caught our officiant completely by surprise and disrupted the beginning of our ceremony. What makes this even more frustrating is the explanation we received afterward. Julie claimed that because we only provided the song and artist name for "Can't Help Falling in Love," she downloaded a version from YouTube and that we should have provided an exact link. Yet this was never mentioned during our lengthy planning call, nor when she confirmed she already had the music. Had this been communicated beforehand, it could have been resolved easily. How can a professional music company utilize YouTube for a full track, when that is meant for video versions of songs? Julie also acknowledged in writing that the violinist played the vocal version of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" instead of the instrumental version and stated that he "second guessed the instructions and chose poorly." In other words, the company admits that its musician ignored the instructions provided. Rather than taking full responsibility for a mistake that affected one of the most meaningful moments of our wedding ceremony, the response focused on shifting blame back to us for not providing an exact track link, despite prior assurances that the music was already available and despite the fact that the wrong Taylor Swift version was admittedly played. They not only declined to offer a refund for these mistakes, but then said they would "waive the charge" for our wedding starting late—even though the delay was due to rain. The violinist never introduced himself or asked whether we wanted him to stay. In fact, had he left, our processional likely would not have been disrupted, because I had already provided the DJ with Spotify track links to our wedding music as a backup in case of an emergency. Weddings require attention to detail, clear communication, and careful execution of agreed-upon instructions. Unfortunately, our experience with Master Musicians fell short in all three areas. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend them to couples who are relying on their vendors to handle important ceremonial moments correctly." Based in Boynton Beach, Florida (52 miles from Miami) 3rd November 2026 Ashley Lazarus - Private Wedding Photo of Steely Pan Steely Pan "Highly recommended. Showed up on time and ready to play at our needed time. The music was great and everyone in our party enjoyed it."

They are dynamic and fun entertainers. Enjoyed listening their performance, I would come back to see them again."

Great set-up and professional to deal with throughout the process. Thanks for elevating our event this year, we will reach out again in the future. Great job!" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1,239 miles from Miami) 11th September 2026 Bill Keegan - Mondelez International Photo of Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment Chris Arpad Solo Steel Drum Entertainment "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."
