The band was beyond amazing —the vocals were fabulous and the playlist perfect in every way. Every guest commented positively and many said that the band was the best they had ever experienced at a wedding .

Tybee Island Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony and Party

We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony on the Tybee beach by the lighthouse (as the sun set on December 6th), followed by a 40 guest party and celebration at the Tybee Guardhouse. Melvin Dean (Steel The Show) provided the music on the beach - "Acoustic Steel the Show" - before, during and after the ceremony. He was fantastic and provided the perfect accompaniment to a heartfelt ceremony.

As we moved to the Guardhouse, Melvin's full Steel The Show accompaniment was, once again, the ideal background to getting our party started throughout our extended cocktail hour.

Melvin and his music helped in making our event extra special and very worthy of a 5-star rating and BIG recommendation.

Thanks, Melvin. You stole the show!

Steel The Show is the Best!

Melvin did a fantastic job playing for our morning after Bridal Brunch. He showed up on time and was set up ready to go when promised, played through the entire event, had excellent song selections, and set the right atmosphere for the entire event. I heartily recommend him to anyone. He was very professional and courteous, and very reasonably priced.

Steel the Show was the perfect touch to the cocktail hour of our Savannah wedding! Melvin Dean has the kindest heart, and he was so much fun to work with before the wedding...not to mention he is so talented! My guests loved dancing to the drums, and it set the scene for an amazingly fun evening. If you want your guests to have a blast, definitely hire Melvin and Steel the Show!

Never thought of having a steel drums performer at our wedding, but Melvin came highly recommended by our wedding planner. He was a big hit during our cocktail hour and everyone enjoyed his performance.
