We were so fortunate to have Abby play & sing for us at our private party. She is such an amazing musician! We had many compliments from our guests and her music made the party so lovely! Thank you Abby so very much for sharing your talents with our family and friends!

Wedding•Reviewed on November 13, 2014•From Malibu, CA

We had Nesta (Abby & Dan) play our wedding ceremony and during the reception cocktail hour. They were perfect during both. While planning the wedding, Abby gave us some great suggestions on which songs worked best for the main parts of the ceremony. In addition to the usual parts (processional, recessional, etc.), we wanted a song to be played during our unity sand ceremony. We really wanted Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" so Abby and Dan learned it. It was perfect! Later, Nesta provided the perfect feel for cocktail hour--a cool, fun vibe, that still allowed guests to converse. Many of our friends and family later told us how much they enjoyed the steel drums.

Abbey was wonderful! She performed at my 40th birthday party and did a great job setting the mood. She was the perfect addition to our party and I highly recommend her; you will not be disappointed.

Celebration•Reviewed on November 15, 2012•From Los Angeles, CA

I enjoyed working with Abby and Dan. All the necessary arrangements were easily managed, they arrived in plenty of time and played beautifully. I hired them for Chaffey College's celebratioin of Internaitonal Education Week. The steel drum music added a festive touch to our event; they were professional and flexible (a must for a student event) and even willing to do background music for our international fashion show. I would most definitely recommend them to friends and colleagues.

Bridal Shower•Reviewed on July 2, 2012•From Arcadia, CA

Dan and Abby were amazing. Everyone commented on how great they were. They made our party a wonderful memory for my daughter and her finance. They are wonderful, fun people. Abby always got back to me quickly when I needed to change a few things. I would hightly recommend them for any event, and I will definately call on them again.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on April 8, 2012•From Santa Clarita, CA

Nests was great! Abby was very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. She made great suggestions that made our small party so much better, like having a duo during the ceremony and cocktails then switching to a full band. They were great in handling our logistics - backyard, front yard, backyard again. We ended up with a cold drizzly wedding day, but Nesta was a ray of sunshine.

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on August 14, 2011•From Santa Barbara, CA

We had a great rehersal dinner from my son's wedding and the Nesta group (with only two musicians)pulled it all to gether. Great communication, great feedback from guests and great flexability as we had to interupt several time for gifts, DVD, Comments...etc. We only had an hour and 15 minutes to set up. with all the other decoration...never worried about Nesta. They we on time, set-up and went above board to help work out sound for DVD. Thank you. Good luck on the next little BOY!! Peggy Hill, NEW YORK Hired site unscene.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 18, 2011•From Porterville, CA

Nesta teel drum duo arrived on time for our event. The location was a developmental center for adults. We celebrated an early birthday for my twin, who resides at the facility. The party was also a thank you for staff and senior companions who are integral in the care of the clients. Nesta's music and talent was enjoyed by all. It was a great party thanks to the wonderful performers, Abby and Dan!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 19, 2011•From Studio City, CA

Fabulous entertainers! Our guests were extremely impressed with their professionalism and music. It was the perfect choice for a nice back-yard party. The music was beautiful , yet not over-powering. Guests could still have a nice conversation and enjoy the ambience. Would DEFINITELY recommend Nesta!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 1, 2011•From Huntington Beach, CA

Nesta was perfect for my husband's birthday party in our backyard. This party was for family and very close friends and quite intimate. Abby and Dan fit in like they were a part of our family - while maintaining their professionalism perfectly. Everyone loved their music and it was the most special part of the party. My husband was so delighted that he asked them to stay later. I would highly recommend Nesta to anyone!...and plan to have them back again in the future.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on June 13, 2010•From Santa Monica, CA

Having grown up with steel drums in the Virgin Islands, we thought we'd add a little bit of island flavor to our nuptials by having Nesta Steel drum band play for our wedding ceremony on beach and during our cocktail hour at the Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica, California. We were very impressed with their professionalism, the variety of songs they knew and how well they played...My only regret is that I did not get to hear (or dance to) much of their performance during the cocktail hour because we were busy with our photographer after the ceremony. I certainly hope to find another opportunity to have them play in the future!
