Wedding•Reviewed on July 1, 2012•From Sarasota, FL

AMAZING!!!!!!! Our wedding day would not have been complete without Jessee with the Island Boys. The music was amazing and all of our guests were thrilled and commented the whole time how wonderful Jessee and the music was. It definatley far exceded our expectations and made our day even more special. Jessee thank you and thank you for makeing our beach wedding one to remember. We will see you again the future you are truly a talented musician and anyone would be crazy not to have you play for any occasion!!! Warmest Regards Tammy & Cecil June 30th 2012

Event•Reviewed on May 14, 2012•From Saint Petersburg, FL

They were great! All of the guests at the event wanted to know where I found them and I think they will get many more bookings from the guests. They really have a good sound and were a pleasure to do business with. I will definately book them in the future!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 15, 2012•From Saint Petersburg, FL

Winston was wonderful!! He even played in 2 sites for us - at our beach ceremony and then drove over to the cocktail hour and did an amazing job! We couldn't be happier and he is the more personable and professional person - thank you!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on May 15, 2012•From Saint Petersburg, FL

Josh was excellent! We couldn't have asked for better music at our Rehearsal Dinner and all the guests were SO impressed with the music - he was so excellent we asked him to stay extra time! Thank you!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 30, 2012•From Clearwater, FL

From first inquiry to the end of his hours of entertainment for our guests and family at the beach wedding ceremony & poolside cocktail hour for my son and our new daughter-in-law, everything was topnotch and so customer focused! Winston arrived early to set up, played wonderfully, giving very special practice & attention to a song that was the couple's postwedding request. Our guests enjoyed the entertainment so much, and we are very grateful the addition to a wedding that was a dream come true! Cannot thank you enough! Mother of the Groom

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 16, 2012•From Bradenton Beach, FL

I usually find at least one or two things worth a non-5 star rating anytime I give feedback for anything...even though the work or service provided was great, but with this feedback I cannot do it. Across the board, Islandboys helped give our wedding that "something" that made it even better. We asked the player to do a very intricate piece for our ceremony and he pulled it off without a hitch AND without question. At the reception he played and performed masterfully. And this feedback was just his performance. He was also very friendly, personable, and professional. If you want the best, hire these guys!

Great. The guys where fun and did a fantastic job. They were early and set up was a breeze. The music was also great. I sure would hire them again for any other party.

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on August 11, 2011•From Saint Petersburg, FL

The Islandboys did a fantastic job at my group's cocktail party. They were punctual, professional, and flexible to the meeting's needs. The group had wonderful reviews of the music and as the meeting planner for the event, I would certainly recommend them to anyone in need of entertainment. It was a pleasure working with them.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 7, 2011•From The Villages, FL

They were the most pleasant, talented and fun people we have ever worked with. I would recommend them to people that want to have a fun time, and want to hear good music. Winston worked with us on everything we wanted. Nothing was beyond their reach. They even learned new songs for us. They were the best, and we would hire them again in a minute for any function we might have.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 18, 2010•From Palmetto, FL

Winston is the consummate professional. His personality, musical ability, and willingness to do whatever it takes to make an event a memorable occasion is surpassed by no one. Winston’s wide-ranging musical talents were simply unbelievable. At one point we heard piano music being played softly in the background, turned to better hear what it was, and found Winston sitting at a piano in the Bed & Breakfast, while on break from playing his steel drums, playing a beautiful piece for the guests inside. We recommend Winston without hesitation or reservation.

Luau Party•Reviewed on August 8, 2010•From Saint Petersburg, FL

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our event so I can't speak to the "talent" issues however, I can speak to the planning stage. I found them to be very accommodating and flexible as to scheduling. They were easy to communicate with and would respond to questions very quickly. I was never concerned that they would not show up, or show up in ready to play condition as has been with some entertainment "professionals". While they didn't perform at our gig, we have hear them play and they put on a great show.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 31, 2014•From Sarasota, FL

There were too many breaks with no music playing. They could have looked more dressed for the occasion and venue.

:

This is my first not so good review in the hundred gigs that I have performed with Gigmaster. First of all, I am truly sorry the bride wasn't happy. All I know is, everybody including the newly weds told me personally they were very happy with the job we did. They tipped us 10%. I don't recall any breaks that didn't have music playing. As for the dress, we wore black dress pants and upscale dark dress shirts. This was a beach ceremony and the first time for me that a client seem to want the band in suits. She never told me that was expected. The manager of the venue {Micheals on East} Sarasota Fl told me we were perfect for the venue and w
