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.Doug Walker did an outstanding job playing the steel drums for our beachside ceremony and also being the DJ for our reception.

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.

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.We had the pleasure of having Doug as the musician/DJ for our wedding in Key Largo.

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.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.

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!There are no words to describe how incredibly happy we are with hiring Doug for our wedding!

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.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.

Hire Doug for your next event - you won’t regret it!
We hired Doug to play the steel drums for our Key Largo welcome party to kick off our wedding weekend. He was so easy to communicate with, showed up on time and really wowed our guests with his talent and music selection. He honestly created the exact vibe we were hoping for to welcome all of our friends and family to the Keys. This was a 3x Covid postponed wedding, so having a reliable, easy to deal with person like Doug as one of our vendors was such a delight in an otherwise stressful process. He really set the tone for the whole weekend.We hired Doug to play the steel drums for our Key Largo welcome party to kick off our wedding weekend.

Perfect for beach weddings
Not only is Doug a very talented musician, but he was super responsive with communication and very professional. He really set the tone for our beach front ceremony and cocktail hour. I highly recommend him! Sadly these are the only photos I have of him so far, but I will update this review once I have a better ones.Not only is Doug a very talented musician, but he was super responsive with communication and very professional.

Doug set the vibe for a beautiful beach wedding
I am so pleased I chose Doug Walker for my steel drum entertainment. He is not your typical steel drum player. He adds this very cool jazz vibe to his music which separates him from all the rest. Doug began at the welcome ceremony as the guests arrived. He set the tone for the beautiful tropical destination wedding in Islamarada. He played two beautiful songs during the ceremony and ended with the cocktail hour. He was prompt and pleasant .My guests really enjoyed him and I couldn’t have been happier!I am so pleased I chose Doug Walker for my steel drum entertainment.

Steel Drummer for Wedding
Doug was amazing! He came highly recommended by a company that was already booked for our date. We wanted a steel drummer for our ceremony/cocktail hour ( 2 hours in total) and Doug was very responsive and was happy to step in! He did a walk through of the venue prior to our wedding with our planner/coordinator to ensure he knew exactly where he should plug in his equipment and make for a smooth wedding day. We didn’t care what music he played (we let him decide), but he did offer to play anything we wanted. He even dressed in our wedding colors! During the cocktail hour, the music selection he chose was fun, fresh, and recognizable tunes. We also loved that he only required a $100 deposit to save our date. We held a small wedding with 30 people but all of the guests loved him. I would absolutely hire him again if I was in need of a steel drummer!Doug was amazing!

better than bloody marys!
I recently got married in Key Largo at a beautiful private outdoor wedding venue. I had a whole weekend of events planned all on site and hired Doug to play steel drums for my morning-after wedding brunch. It was perfect! Doug played a great selection of songs, he sounded amazing, and set the exact laid-back mood and tropical vibe I'd envisioned for the day! The guests loved him and the music, and I think it was the best final special detail of my wedding celebration I could have hoped for. Doug was very responsive and professional during the planning process and came highly recommended from my wedding venue as well. My only regret is that I didn't have him play longer!

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 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.
