Must book for any beach wedding!

Doug Walker did an outstanding job playing the steel drums for our beachside ceremony and also being the DJ for our reception. He was very professional, flexible, and entertaining. He really set the tropical/beach mood with the steel drums and got the party going during the reception. My wife and I highly recommend him for both steel drums and as a DJ for any wedding.

Couldn't have asked for anything more!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to have had Doug as our musician/DJ for our 2.17.24 wedding in Islamorada. Doug played his steel drums for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then transitioned over to DJ for our reception.

We were really set on having a steel drum player as part of our wedding celebration, so when we found Doug and found out that he offered a package that combined his steel drum music and DJ skills, we were thrilled. We feel the cost was super reasonable for him to do both, when you compare the cost of having to hire a steel drum player and DJ separately.

Doug was always very communicative, reliable, and really set the tone for our whole evening. Many of our guests commented the night of, and even after the wedding on how great he was! Definitely one of our easiest vendors to have worked with.

Thank you, Doug!

80th Birthday Party

Doug was just perfect for my father's 80th Birthday Party. All my dad requested for the party was a Steel Drum band and Doug did not disappoint. The music was beautiful and fun. Some folks danced and other just listened. He knew the right songs to play during the cocktail hour that really set the mood. I would highly recommend Doug for any party.

Doug is an absolute joy!

We had the pleasure of having Doug as the musician/DJ for our wedding in Key Largo. His steel drum playing is amazing and he listened to and provided all of the songs we requested for the ceremony and beyond. He was also so much fun and so kind. I highly recommend him for your wedding, engagement or renewal.

Amazing Experience

Doug brought a different experience to an event I hosted. When I explained to him, my vision certainly went over and beyond to make my event a true success. He was full of laughter, very professional, and made our Tropical Theme surprise celebration to be more than what we could ever imagine. We will indeed recommend and use him again. Everyone enjoyed this new experience.

Amazingly Talented!

There are no words to describe how incredibly happy we are with hiring Doug for our wedding! He is so talented and was so easy to work with. Doug played on the steel drums for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then switched over to DJ'ing our reception. He made the whole music planning process so easy and was so accommodating to our requests.
We had so many of our guests ask how we found him and commented on how amazingly talented he was! Doug was such a pleasure to work with and we are so grateful to have had him be a part of making our day so special and memorable!

Doug Walker pan playing and DJ provided wonderful music for son's wedding.

Doug Walker played a beautiful rendition of Canon in D for the Bridal Party entrance and Here Comes the Sun for The Bride walking the sandy beach isle. He gave us beautiful music for the sunset beach wedding and then kept everyone dancing during the reception. He was very attentive and responsive to the bride and groom requests. I have 3 more to marry off and will seek out his service first.
