Wonderful performer, but too loud for the space. Needed to ask to tone down twice. But was accommodating when I requested that.

Vaugh was incredible and very easy to work with. We all enjoyed his music very much. If another opportunity arises where I need steel drum music, I will definitly hire him again.

Vaughn was awsome!! We had a very successful party and everyone loved him. Several people at the party asked for cards so the could book him for a future party. I would definately recommend him to anyone.

Luau Party•Reviewed on September 3, 2009•From Raleigh, NC

We have used Vaughn in the past and it was just as great this time as it was the first time we used him! We called him last minute and he was able to fit us in. Our families loved the music and it made our luau a hit!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 25, 2009•From Raleigh, NC

Great music, continuous live play and then recorded music played during clean up. Nice touch! Only issue was late arrival which delayed our surprise party time. I was surprised that no price adjustment was offered for the late arrival - had to pay full price. No complaints about music or performance - all very good. This is more of "background" music instead of a DJ leading a party. Overall, I would recommend this performer. Price is a bit high.

:

It was explained to the client in advance that my schedule would be tight since it was close to the end of my church time. I started playing music at the required time 1pm and playing live at 1:05pm, 5minutes after the start time! I also played for the entire time with no breaks as noted in the contract;at a reduced initial price break of($50 dollars). As per the notation on billing this is normal billing rates for live steel drum music and even DJ service prices are higher. It was noted in advance to the client that as a solo performer I play along with my programed background music and if she wanted a full band that could be provided at the appropriate price.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 14, 2010•From Cary, NC

Pros and cons...many of which were brought to my attention from multiple guests: PROs: 1) Sound quality 2) Volume was good level 3) Equipment worked 4) Style was fitting CONs: 1) He was 25 minutes late starting, but yet left on time...he was setting up and waiting on another member 2) Asked a handicapped guest move her car to avoid walking 25 feet, though equipment was on dolly and drive was paved 3) Many guests complained about the obvious frustration of Vauhn when people were "in his way" 4) He did not communicate what he needed in the space before, forcing me to leave my guests to accommodate at last minute 5) Overall, seemed rude...would NOT recommend

:

The clients were given complete information as to what was needed and expected. All information is also clearly noted in the signed contract, which states cover from the elements (it was raining) and a sturdy table for equipment; neither of which was setup upon our arrival. Music was started on time before 7pm as agreed with some adjustments to accomodate for the rain with the live music, starting shortly after. Any late start in live music was a direct result of the client not fullfilling contractual obligations as noted in the contract,Electricity and water do not mix. To accomodate this we also played throughout our obligated break time between sets, keeping in

Engagement Party•Reviewed on February 28, 2019•From Wilmington, NC

They took liberties at our home, going in and taking beverages from our refrigerator when we had drinks out by the pool for everyone. Brought too many extra people that layed in lounge chairs for guests ...

:

Hi Kimberly,I think you have us mixed up with some other group. We only had our 6 band members. I never heard of any such behavior and we are always professional. I know members spoke to guess during our break and one of the guess brought a few members water to drink and did not take any such liberties. We were extremely accommodating for a pool side space that was smaller than spelled out in the contract along with having cover from the elements. This caused equipment to get wet when a rain storm came almost damaging 10’s of thousands of dollars in equipment and Instrumentation. Please call me. Thanks, Vaughn
