    Steel Drum Flavor was perfect for our wedding, they played at our cocktail hour before guests entered the reception tent for dinner. Nigel is not only the consumate professional but a crazy talented musician. The upbeat music was the perfect kick-off to celebrating and dancing all night. Steel Drum Flavor was an absolute pleasure to work with and traveled to our wedding location out of state. We will always remember what a special day it was. I would absolutely recommend him for any event, your guests will love it!!

    Nigel,

    You are awesome! You brought true Jamaican flavor to our reception which is great since we wanted to keep with our "destination wedding" theme! I loved the variety of songs and your positive energy. We got a lot of compliments on the music! Thanks again!

    I wanted to incorporate some Caribbean themes in my wedding due to my husband having Caribbean roots. My wedding planner suggested Nigel as a surprise to my husband on our wedding day. Nigel's performance and professionalism was AMAZING!!! His energy and precision made his presentation spectacular!! Everyone enjoyed Nigel's performance especially my husband. Nigel and his Steel Drum Flavor accented our wedding day making it FABULOUS and UNIQUE!!!!

    I would recomend Nigel to anyone looking to have a pary or special occasion. He did an amazing job at my wedding receptiona and even learned a special song for my husband and I to dance to. Everyone who was at my reception stopped to tell me how much the enjoyed Nigel! He made my reception very special and unique and even played Happy Birthday to one of my guests. He was also very nice and let some of the children try out his drum :) Thanks again to Nigel Thomas I would look forward to going to any event you were playing at!!

    Nigel is an incredibly talented musician. He made our island party feel as though we were dockside in the Caribbean. He is professional and accountable. Even with the threat of rain that evening he made us feel relaxed as he said he could break down and set up anywhere. While entertaining Nigel wears a bright smile and plays his steel drum with a happy heart that naturally lures even the shyest of guests towards his beautiful music. We promise Steel Drum Flavor will add the magic to your soiree... just as he did for ours.
    Cheers to Nigel!

    Nigel Thomas is the best! We hired him for the cocktail hour of our daughter's wedding reception and he was splendid! Extremely versatile, he played a wide variety of music and kept our guest completely entertained while waiting on the wedding party to arrive. Completely professional from start to finish, Steel Drum Flavor is superb!

    We booked Nigel Thomas : Steel Drum Flavor - he covered our pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktails and a part of our reception. I was amazed that one person can sound so amazing and play such a wide variety of music. We were initially concerned about a typically "Caribbean" steel drum being able to play appropriate music for each part of our wedding...boy were we surprised! Everything was perfect - he set the right tone, everything from "smooshing" to dancing!!! He was on time (arrived about 1 hour before starting time), friendly, professional, the music was incredible.

    We're recommending them to all of our friends and hope to be able to hire them again in the future.

    We are extremely happy with every part of Nigel's performance and flexibility in meeting our needs. He arrived early and had to wait to setup because of our wedding ceremony, but then was still setup and playing on time when we could open up the area for him. Everyone enjoyed the unique steel drum music at the marina and we got many compliments from all of our guests for such an excellent choice. We will definately consider asking Nigel to play at future club events and will suggest that the other sailing clubs on Carlyle Lake also consider Steel Drum Flavor Carribean Island Music for their parties!

My husband was very impressed with Nigel's playing ability!! Rates 10 of10!!

    Nigel from Steel Drum Flavor was highly recommended to me by another bride, where he performed at her beach wedding. She raved nonstop about Nigel’s energy, skill, professionalism and demeanor. I could not resist, so I showed up at one of his events and was blown away. Well it was not a wedding event, so I was a little nervous in regards to my wedding mass being held in the Cathedral Basilica. Well low and behold, everyone was blown away. It was by far the best wedding experience of my entire life. He arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony. He played prior to the ceremony, during the ceremony and at the cocktail hour. He learned two songs that I requested. The bridal party walked to Canon in D Major. I walked down to Here Comes the Bride. His Ave Maria was out of this world. His version of the Wedding March still has me in tears. It’s unbelievable of what sound that the steel drum can make. . We missed most of the cocktail hour because we were taking photos. However, we arrived during the last twenty minutes of the cocktail hour where Nigel transformed this place. Everyone kept asking me where did I find him. He was so passionate about the music and also smiled to the guest as the gathered at the venue. After he played Margaritaville, my mom said he was better than Jimmy Buffet. I don’t want to be too verbose, but there is not enough space to write about Nigel. Without hesitation, I would recommend him for your next event!.

    Nigel played for my beach wedding in St Louis and he was perfect! Not only was he willing to play a special song not in his playlist, but he was prompt, professional, and sounded great! He was the perfect music during our ceremony and he played a great set during cocktail hour!
    I highly recommend him.

    Nigel from Steel Drum Flavor is a truly gifted musician and will make any affair special and heartfelt. His professionalism, confidence, enthusiasm, and appearance were that of elegance at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Every kept taking about him during the wedding. His music was truly magical and completely worth it! I could not have gotten a perfect musician.

    We couldn't be more ecstatic with the music that Nigel Thomas provided for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was absolutely beautiful and we highly recommend him. Nigel was such a great vendor to work with and was always extremely responsive to our emails. We only wish that we could have enjoyed the music during cocktail hour. However, we were were taking photos outside. Our guest LOVED him though.
