I met Paul at Tommy Bahamas restaurant. He was playing their one night and I knew I had to have him at my wedding! If you are looking for something fun and less traditional he is the person for you! I had him play for my ceremony and cocktail hour! Everyone loved him and it was completely unexpected! He is so fun and so lively! I would use him again for any big party that I have!

First and foremost, Paul is an amazing musician, which you can see by listening to some clips on his website. He made my wedding ceremony so special by meeting with my husband and I and discussing what we were looking for in terms of music for the ceremony. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that a song we had only heard played by a trumpet turned out sounding beautifully played on steel drums. The use of steel drums and marimba in the wedding was so unique compared to other weddings I had attended previously. They really added to the ambiance of the outdoor wedding. Most importantly, Paul has a great personality and is very willing to work with the bride and groom, even if you have special music requests. Just My Imagination on steel drums and marimba was my favorite. :-)

Paul McDermand provided the live music for our daughter's ceremony and reception as well as being the Master of Ceremonies for the reception. We were so thrilled with the professional and fun manner in which he presented himself. His music was versatile and timeless. We had so many compliments from guests. Everyone agreed that Paul was an integral part in helping to make this day so special for our entire family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
