Review by Seth S.

Club Event•Reviewed on May 10, 2018•From Clearwater, FL

Music was awesome people really enjoyed it. Easy guys to work with, I appreciate their laid back vibe, since so many musicians are such a pain in the backside. My only issue (not a complaint) I was expecting two steel drummers as a duo, instead it was 1 steel drummer and a drum set. It was totally fine, it just took me by surprise day of show.

The Islandboys performed at our corporate reception and everyone loved them! We did a florida/citrus type theme and they fit in perfectly. I have nothing but great things to say!

Luau Party•Reviewed on December 27, 2017•From Saint Petersburg, FL

I hired Winston for our nursing facilities annual summer luau. He did an amazing job and we still have family and residents talking about his performance. He showed up early to set up his set and was very professional. He even talked about the steel drums and explained how they worked and walked around so the residents could see the drum. I would recommend him for anyone's event and we look forward to having him back for next years event!

Great performers that added an extra special element to our fundraising event. Easy to work with and showed up on time. I highly recommend Island Boys for your next event that needs a Caribbean vibe.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on November 20, 2017•From Saint Petersburg, FL

The Islandboys were very professional. They showed up with plenty of time to setup before the event and made sure they did not disrupt anything. Our guests loved the performance and the added a nice relaxing element to our wedding. Thank you for being a part of our special day and executing exactly what we were looking for.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 30, 2017•From Cape Coral, FL

Winston and Jesse were booked to play from 2-5:30 PM for my husband's 80th birthday party. They arrived at 1PM to set up and once set up they began to play. except for the contracted breaks they played up until 5:30 at no extra charge. They were great! I had told them my husband was a Frank Sinatra fan, suggested a few songs, and they downloaded them and during one break we were listening to "Frankie". They happily announced that food was ready, and later with the cake they led us in singing Happy Birthday. I recommend them very highly.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on February 23, 2017•From Tampa, FL

The Island boys were on time for the event and they played background music very nicely as we had discussed. They helped us out with the use of their microphone and speakers for a short welcome speech. We were very satisfied.

Winston did an amazing job with all that we asked of him. His music was perfect for our wedding ceremony on the beach.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 28, 2016•From Nokomis, FL

The Islandboys were wonderful and exceeded our expectations. They arrived early and were very accomodating setting up on a remote area of the beach for the wedding. Their background music during the wedding was the perfect touch for romance. They professionally fulfilled the role as master of ceremonies for the reception keeping the party moving with a Caribbean flare. No down time in the festivities as they took turns with breaks. From start to finish an absolutely enjoyable experience, on a day that can be very stressful they were a key part of creating a joyful and memorable event. We would not hesitate to recommend them, cant wait to book them for our next event!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 4, 2016•From Sarasota, FL

Winston played for my wedding ceremony on Lido Beach and continued at our cocktail hour. He played Bob Marley and Carribbean style steeldrum songs, as requested. It added a fun and loving touch to one of the most important days of my life! He was professional and dressed for the part - I would personally recommend The Islandboys to anyone I know and use them for any future needs - Thank you for adding a special unique quality to our wedding Islandboys!

Everything was perfect! The sound was great and Winston was so friendly and was very low maintenance. We loved having his music in the background, it was very pleasant.
