Peter Sent on 12/12/2023Best Steel Drummer on the Tampa Coast
We had the privelage of working with Johnny as a soloist steel drummer for our wedding. We first met johnny while walking down the strip in clearwater. He was playing at the Wyndham for some background music at the pool. We walked up and chatted him up for a bit and listened to a few songs. You could tell he was someone that was passionate about his craft and really enjoyed it. We got his information and booked him for our wedding a couple weeks later. Johnny was very easy to work with, very organized and just an overall joy to have play at our wedding. He showed up early and was all set up and ready to go before we even needed him. Email communication was easy and responses were prompt. He was flawless in performance and was easy to work with. Price was fair and i can say they were one of the only venders where i did not feel like i was getting ripped off. Putting the word wedding before anything these days and you learn to expect almost scam- worthy pricing. Caladesi Steel Band had good fair pricing and made me feel like I got what i paid for. These guys are pro's! Book them now! -

Steel drums were me and my husbands number 1 most important vendor to book - we knew we wanted to steel drums when we first started discussing getting married years ago, before we even knew where we wanted to have a wedding! We had them play pre ceremony, for the ceremony and during cocktail hour. It gave us the relaxed, elegant and fun vibes we were dreaming of for our day. All our guests thought this was such a perfect touch to our ceremony. -

Absolutely wonderful!!! I hired Caladesi Steel Band for my rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception. They were absolutely wonderful to work with! I truly had no idea what songs to pick, so they were super helpful in coming up with ideas for me. My wedding guests were so impressed. Everyone was in awee of the music coming from their drums. This really added the extra wow factor to my wedding. My guests said this is something that they will remember forever. I cannot recommend them enough!!! -

Nerina Sent on 01/02/2019A Magical Touch to Our Wedding!
I hired Caladesi Steel Band to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour at my wedding. I had a steel drummer and guitarist and it was absolutely beautiful!! I did A LOT of research before choosing a vendor and Caladesi Steel Band exceeded my expectations.
Dave was so easy to work with. I had a lot of questions and requested a few song samples ahead of time as I was trying to decide on my ceremony music and he was very responsive and helpful. Their website is also intuitive and useful with recommended wedding songs, YouTube videos of real weddings, and they allow you you pay online, which i personally love because of the convenience.
The combination of the steel drums and the guitar was magical and my guests raved about the music. It was the perfect combination of tropical and classy, and really set the tone for the rest of the night. Thank you Caladesi Steel Band!!! -

Ally Sent on 01/25/2018We cannot say enough great things about how awesome it was to the Caladesi Steel Drum Band for our ceremony and cocktail hour at our beach wedding in Treasure Island! Dave was responsive and professional throughout our entire planning process. Our guests raved about their music and could not stop talking about what a fun vibe it set for the rest of our night. We had 1 steel drummer and 1 guitar player and it really was a beautiful combination. Having the steel drum band there really added a unique and memorable element to our cocktail hour that guests are still talking about 4 months later! We would recommend them over and over! -

Lindsay Sent on 06/15/2013Dave with Caladesi Steel Band was great! The only song I was picky about was the song I walked down the aisle to. Honestly I didn't get to hear much of him since I wasn't there until he played my wedding march and I missed his cocktail hour at the yacht club since we were taking photos at the beach. All the guests raved about him and I hope I am able to hear some of it on the video that i have yet to receive from my photographer!
He even told my parents friends how he knows where to hit the drum for each note!
loved it! -
