Minsky provided steel drum music for our wedding ceremony on the beach in the Outer Banks and also played for our cocktail hour at our reception. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed his music and how much they enjoyed him! He was very friendly...we felt that we had known him our entire life! He was very professional and was willing to do anything that we wanted him to do. When he was finished playing he stayed at our reception for hours and enjoyed himself and helped us celebrate our special day even though I know that he had a long trip home ahead of him. We would highly recommend Minski to any future bride and groom....his smile is contagious. You can't help but feel happy when you hear his music!

Minsky did an absolute marvelous job!! We are so thankful he was available with short notice before our wedding - he really pulled through and his professionalism was a pleasure to work with - I highly recommend Minsky to play at any type of event!! THANK YOU!

WOW!! my guests and I had the pleasure of listening to the music of Minsky during our cocktail hour at our wedding on 8/13/2011 in Charlotte. He was awesome.Everyone loved his music selections and was very impressed. he was timely (early) and VERY flexiable. I would highly recommend him for any event.

We enjoyed Minsky's professionalism and demeanor from our first contact. His music was EXACTLY what our son & fiance wanted and he was incredibly easy to work with. We ALL highly recommend that you Hear Steel Drums Play by Minsky Delmonte!

Minsky Delmonte is a true professional. He always responded back to me immediately while in the planning stages of the big wedding day for my daughter! The music was perfect for the beach/island mood we were creating! He was on time, played wonderfully during the ceremony and "cocktail hour" and upon invitation, stayed and mingled after his performance! It was like he was part of the family! My wedding guests had nothing but praises for him! My only regret was that I wasn't able to sit still enough (I'm the mother of the bride) to really listen to all his music! I would absolutely recommend Minsky!

Finding Minsky was truly a godsend. From beginning to end he went above and beyond and truly possessed a sense of professionalism. No call went unanswered. He worked with us on providing a playlist for the entire event that made the wedding day flow effortlessly. If you dreamed of having a steel drum at your wedding you couldn't ask for a better person with true skill and the ability to learn and play any song selection you may have. I can't say enough of how pleased everyone involved with planning this wedding was. He is so easy to work with and a pleasure to know.

Minsky was AMAZING!! Everyone commented on how unique it was to have a steel drummer at our wedding. Minsky totally set the mood for our outdoor wedding. I have already recommended him to others and I will continue recommending him to everyone! Bottom line: extremely talented musician without a hefty price tag! Thanks for everything Minsky!

Thank you for the matching the incredibly beautiful day with your fun, happy, sunshin-y music! I don't think I've ever enjoyed cocktail hour music till you came around and that's saying something considering the number of weddings I've been to. Actually, come to think of it, I don't remember any music from any of the cocktails I've been to!! You made the whole thing quite special not just because of your talent in doing what you were doing but your warm presence was a joy to be with. My boyfriend & I definitely could feel the love coming through your music! What more can anyone ask for at a wedding?
WONDERFUL JOB, MINSKY! It was a joy meeting you and dancing to your tunes! :))

It was an absolute pleasure working with Minsky. Not only is he professional, but he is so personable. I felt like I was working with family, which was really refreshing. Minsky's music was the perfect touch to our simple waterfront cocktail hour. Our guests felt far away from home and lost somewhere in a tropical oasis... So perfect, just what we wanted! I wish I had a cd of all the music! Our heartfilled thanks to you Minsky!

Minsky was great for our reception. He played the steel drums for our cocktail hour in the rainforest section of the aquarium. It was amazing! The ambiance of his music combined with the location were perfect! My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Minsky as he has wonderful talent, a great ear for music, an easy going personality, and reasonable prices! Thank you for being an important part of our special day!

Having Minsky play at our South Carolina reception was the best decision I ever made, just behind saying "I do"! I only wish we had him play our other two receptions as well. Having had a private beach wedding, this music took me back to our wedding day and linked the two events perfectly! I'm now having to think of another reason to have him play for us again. Would a 1st anniversary party be too soon ;o)
Please don't hesitate and make the event extraordinarily special by having Minsky play!!! You're guests will remember his talent and charisma more than the reason for the event!!

Minsky was phenomenal from start to finish! He is the nicest guy! I had a blast planning my ceremony music with him. He is so easy to talk to, no pressure and super enthusiastic. We kept the steel drums a surprise and all the guests LOVED him! He was wonderful. His music is so beautiful and fun. I highly, highly recommend him!

My guest were blown away by Minsky Delmonte island music during my cocktail hour he did and exceptional job keeping my guest entertained until they were ready to be seated. I can't wait to have another event to hire him again

Minsky has a heart of gold. I was to be a bride, in a beach wedding, in 2009, when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I had to postpone my wedding until June of 2010. I contacted Minsky to share with him, my dream to have a beach wedding, and his compassion and dedication to help my dream become a reality was overwhelming to me!! Minsky went out of his way to arrange to perform at my Florida Beach Wedding and I will never forget how special he and his Steel Drum Music made my wedding day, a day I'll never forget!!! Thank you 100 times over Minsky. I strongly encourage future brides to select Minsky Delmonte to play your ceremony music at your wedding, no matter if your ceremony is small and enchanting, or huge and elegant, Minsky has you covered!!!

Minsky, Minsky, Minsky....

What can I say about what he added to our day. As my fiance and I are both of Caribbean descent, the steel drums are a huge part of our history. Minsky was able to make us both feel right at home. He played for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

Some people think of having a Steel Drummer just for a beach wedding, but please consider Minsky for other types of weddings as well. Our wedding was an evening wedding that was full of elegance with an air of fun and whimsy. He played while our guests were being seated. And when he played the Bridal Chorus when I walked down the aisle everyone was extremely surprised. My guests thought that I would have switched to a more traditional way of utilizing the Bridal Chorus but they quickly found out that the same steel drum that entertained them while they were being seated and waited for my grand entrance, was exactly what I walked down the aisle to.

Again...an amazing experience and we would not trade it for anything.

We wanted something different for our ceremony music so we decided to go steel drums.
Minsky was incredible, he hadn't played my venue in Wilmington before so he arrived in the morning to check it out (our ceremony was at 2pm). He was very sweet. It sounded incredible in the church. I was still able to walk down the isle to Canon in D (sounds cool on the drums). He evened learned a song I wanted him to play he didn't know and it sounded great!!!
