Review by Marcy S.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 22, 2025•From Rockford, MI

We hired the steel drummer from The Island Guys to perform as a single musician for my husband's 60th surprise party. I viewed the videos for the musician in advance and intentionally selected them based on our vibe for the evening. I was disappointed when I learned the musician we selected was not able to fulfill the commitment due to an illness, but life happens. They provided an alternative musician who was a delight to work with and performed perfectly for our event! We were so happy with the performance and received several compliments from our guests. I was grateful they substituted the musician with a highly skilled performer!

Community Event•Reviewed on October 4, 2024•From Howell, MI

It was a great experience working with The Island Guys! They were extremely responsive, arrived well before their scheduled performance time and were so engaging with our audience. Their set list was fantastic and everyone loved their sound. We would definitely work with them again for a future event!

Wedding•Reviewed on August 30, 2024•From Ellsworth, MI

The Island Guys performed during the cocktail hour of our wedding. We really wanted a steel drum band and this group fit the description. The Island Guys showed up on time and set up everything ahead of schedule. My main point of feedback is that it seemed the band was playing some pre-recorded tracks and the steel drum was not that prominent. That said, it was still overall the vibe we were looking for and our guests all enjoyed the music.
