  Bongo D exceeded our expectations and provided outstanding service for our pre-ceremony/ceremony/reception. From the moment I initially contacted him to the final moments of our wedding, Bongo D was always there to tend to our needs and answer any question. For our beach wedding, he played the steel drums pre-ceremony/ceremony/cocktail hour and the rest of the wedding he helped MC and make announcements. We made our own playlist and plugged in our iPad to his equipment and it worked beautifully. Our beach wedding wouldn't be complete without the steel drums and everyone raved about the ceremony/cocktail hour music he played. I would use Bongo D over and over again and he was such a generous and great person.

  We decided less than a month before our wedding to add a steel drummer to our ceremony and cocktail hour, and luckily Bongo D was available. We communicated through email and he was very responsive. His website for signing the contract and picking music was easy to use. The guests had a lot of fun interacting with him during the cocktail hour. It really added a fun element to our event.

  Bongo D was the only vendor we used that we did not meet prior to the wedding day, but we are SO glad we chose him to play at our ceremony and our cocktail hour. The music was perfect for the outdoor setting and set the mood for a fabulous evening. Our guests raved about him, and we loved having him play for us. Highly recommend for any KW wedding!

  Amazing choice for your next event!

  We were referred to Bongo D by our venue host (Old Town Manor). We knew we wanted steel drums for our wedding cocktail hour and let’s just say Duane’s reviews speak for themselves! He was such a joy to be around and so very talented. Totally engages the crowd, too! It’s a full performance- enjoyable and chill.
  When it came time to transition from steel drums to our DJ, it was a smooth, seamless transfer (a bride’s dream).
  Duane is a breeze to work with. He answered all of my emails/questions leading up to the day, and just made the process easy. Highly recommend for your next event!

  From the moment we booked our ceremony site in KW we knew we had to have a steel drummer and Bongo D is the very best! We were married at The Reach gazebo and walking down the isle with the sea breeze in my hair, the music of steel drums, and meeting my future husband's eyes was simple perfection! Bongo D responds to emails quickly and such a pleasure to work with! We would highly recommend him to others!

  Bongo D provided our ceremony and reception music and I am so happy that we chose him for our wedding! We wanted true island music for our wedding and that is exactly what he delivered. He is very quick to respond to all emails and made any changes that I asked for. He even brought instruments with him for the guests to use and they all loved it! I would recommend Bongo D to anyone looking for a steel drum band!!

  Bongo D was EXACTLY what we were looking for!
  We got married in June in Islamorada on the beach and Bongo D provided the music for our ceremony and reception.
  His look and sound are precisely what we wanted for our wedding.
  Bongo D played our entrance music and recessional as perfect as could be. Then, while Layla & I were off getting pictures taken, he moved his equipment to the reception area and played through cocktail hour and then dinner.
  After the first couple hours, he was joined by another musician and the 2 of them played beautiful, fun music that created the beach dance party atmosphere that we were looking for.
  He also had a sound system that sounded great, even when playing the music that we sent him and he had prepared and ready to play whenever I gave the word.
  In one word: PERFECT!
  If you choose Bongo D, you will not regret it!

  Bongo D was such a great addition to our rehearsal dinner. He was a pleasure to work with while planning the night and selecting our favorite songs.
  
  Not only did he add so much to the night, but he truly had a great time doing it. He was dancing around and singing the whole night. He included the guests by giving them instruments to play. We even asked him to stay for a few more songs and he was happy to do so.
  
  Wonderful guy, great music, can't go wrong with Bongo D!

  What a wonderful addition to our daughter's island wedding. Bongo is very accommodating, talented, and fun! He entertained our guests and even had them play musical instruments. His list of songs is endless..you can choose or he will choose for you.Bongo's Caribbean appearance and laid back attitude complete the package!
  Can't wait to have another party to listen to Bongo again!

  We had Duane play during our ceremony and reception and he was AMAZING! He was extremely professional to work with and so much fun. He played the steel drums during our ceremony, giving it an unique island vibe, and was exactly what I had imagined. It was perfect! During our reception he brought out other instruments and got everyone involved. I cant tell you how many people came up to us afterwards and said how much the loved Duane and how much fun they had. If you're getting married in the Keys and are looking for entertainment, Duane is your guy!!
