Cocktail Party•Reviewed on August 26, 2015•From Ocean City, NJ
Sterling is a classic and authentic Island man. He was agreeable and a pleasure to work with and welcome to my home. He is talented and played some special songs I requested, my wedding song among them. He was enthusiastic and smiling the entire time he hit the pan (steel drum). Sterling arrived timely and was happy with the location we set for him. Everyone loved his music and several people asked for his contact information for their parties. I would welcome Sterling back, perhaps for an annual party. We very pleased.
Graduation Party•Reviewed on July 16, 2015•From Princeton, NJ
Sterling performed at our daughter's graduation party & we couldn't have been more happy with our choice in selecting him. Our guests were in awe when they entered and heard the lovely sounds of Sterling C Sample's Island Music Steel drums, coming from the patio area. Our daughter loved him as well as our guests. The theme of the party was a tropical feel which was indoors and outdoors, so Sterling definitely completed the vibe. Some of the guests even asked for his contact information as they want to use him for their future events. Sterling was definitely a hit and we will definitely be using him again, shall the opportunity arise. The Reliford Family
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 13, 2014•From Spring Lake, NJ
Sterling C. Sample recently played at our cocktail hour of our wedding reception at The Breakers in Spring Lake, NJ. He was FABULOUS! Our guests LOVED it. There were people dancing and I know many guests took his business card. Hearing his music overlooking the ocean on the porch made it perfect. I have never met anyone who enjoyed what they did so much. He had a smile on his face the entire time as he played. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in steel drums for their event. Thank you Sterling! Great job!

Sterling did a stellar job at the cocktail hour of our wedding! I highly recommend him for any event. He was easy to get in touch with, accommodating, kind and just an overall great guy. He even gave us a discount because my husband was an active duty service member (without me even asking for it)! He is a phenomenal artist and a special addition to any event! Do not hesitate to hire him!
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 14, 2013•From Spring Lake, NJ
We got married just last night at The Breakers in Spring Lake, NJ. When we got to our cocktail hour people were immediately raving about how amazing Sterling was and asking how we'd found him. When he asked what he should play a few days prior I had told him I trusted his judgement and I'm so glad I did because he was amazing. He is a true party starter. If you are looking for a steel drummer for your wedding or celebration look no further!
Bat Mitzvah•Reviewed on June 3, 2013•From New Rochelle, NY
I had been nervous booking a performer through GigMaster all on my own, but Mr. Sample was a delight! He played steel drums for the cocktail hour of my daughter's bat mitzvah on 6/1/13 and his performance was amazing. Guests kept telling me how much they were enjoying his music. I had given Mr. Sample a list of song requests and he played them all, backed by his own percussion track. Occasionally he'd sing too, and this turned out to be a special bonus because he also has a fantastic voice! The entire time he played, he beamed a wide smile that made our happy day even more so. I would recommend Mr. Sample to anyone. He's the best!
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on May 31, 2013•From Pasadena, MD
Sterling C Sample was fantastic at our wedding last week. I hired him to perform during our cocktail hour to play island music as our wedding was Key West themed based. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Sterling was professional, on time, and played great music, evening taking requests from the guests. I appreciate Sterling traveling to our location as it was far for him, but it was well worth it to us. I plan to have a home party in the future and looking at hiring Sterling again! Thank you so much to both Gigmasters for finding Sterling; and Sterling for a fantastic job!!
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 23, 2012•From Seaside Park, NJ
Sterling exceeded all of our expectations. He arrived early to our beach wedding ceremony and quickly began to serenade our guests with fantastic music. He smiled and danced while he played, and his great vibe immediately spread to the entire beach. His songs were exactly what we requested. We couldn't ask for a nicer guy to play for our special day, and we would recommend him to anyone for any event. Very, very highly recommended!
