We hired Bob Lyons as our steel drum player and wedding DJ for our May 2025 wedding in Key Largo, and he was absolutely fantastic! His steel drum performance before the ceremony and during our cocktail hour instantly set the perfect island vibe for our guests—it felt like the Keys came alive through his music.

When dinner began, Bob seamlessly transitioned into DJ mode, providing the perfect background music to set the tone. He then MC’d our special introductions and first dances with professionalism and great energy. Once the dance floor opened, it stayed packed all night thanks to his DJ skills, fun atmosphere, and mood lighting that really brought the party to life.

Bob is incredibly talented, versatile, and easy to work with. If you’re getting married in the Keys—or planning any special event—I highly recommend hiring him. Thank you for everything, Bob, for making our wedding soundtrack absolutely unforgettable!

We hired Bob for our cocktail hour and we were so glad we did! Communication was easy and he was able to play a specific song we requested on the ukulele. Bob is very talented and provides the best ambiance for any party. Highly recommend!

I knew I wanted a Steel Drummer for our beach wedding, and I came across Bobs information and found all of his vides on YouTube and fell in love! Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to walk down the aisle to Somewhere Over the Rainbow and when I saw his video of that song I fell in love and knew I needed to hire him! He responded right away and sent him his song list (which had so many options). His talent is absolutely amazing and brought the Keys vibe to Jensen. I had a few requests and he accommodated everything and more! He came all the way from Deerfield to bring my vision to life. Hire Bob you will not be disappointed!!

Wedding was canceled due to Covid.
