The X Isles were fantastic! Our group loved every song they played, and they were the perfect addition to our event. We would definitely book the X Isles again for another group event.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on July 15, 2016•From Ipswich, MA

They were fantastic!!! Very professional, arrived on time -- and very flexible on set up location. The music was fantastic. They played for about 250 people and guests were coming up to me every few minutes letting me know how wonderful they were and how great the music was. If you want to feel like you're somewhere tropical and fun, hire this band!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 1, 2014•From Newport, RI

We had a perfect, sunny day in Newport for our wedding on 9/20 and having the X Isles play our ceremony and cocktail hour was the perfect added touch to our day. The music was beautiful and very well played. You could recognize all the songs they were playing and it gave our wedding the beachy, relaxing, tropical feel we were going for. They took our requests and suggestions to heart and played the perfect music for the occasion and having a live steel drum band play while I was walking down the aisle was amazing. They are great, nice guys and I would recommend them to anybody!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 16, 2014•From Westerly, RI

I hired the X Isles for my wedding from the ceremony through the reception with a mix of steel drums, live music and DJ style music. They did a great job with everything. They had everybody of all ages up and dancing after dinner. Everyone from my wedding is still talking about how much they liked the music at my wedding. And that is one of the most important parts of a wedding is for the guests to have a great time. And the X Isles helped to achieve this. I only have positive things to say about them. They were so easy to work with, quick to respond and talented. I couldn’t be happier with the way things went and highly recommend them for your event.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 17, 2013•From Mattapoisett, MA

Amazing! I had the pleasure of having the XIsles play at my wedding reception. All of the guests, ranging in age from 2-85 enjoyed their music so much. I was blown away by their talent, professionalism, and ability to go with the flow. Our outdoor venue was tricky and due to bad weather, the area originally set up for the band could not be used. No problem for the X Isles! They set up and started playing without delay. They truly seem to enjoy what they do and never stopped smiling. As the bride, the first time I was able to relax and enjoy myself was during the X Isles performance. Above all, they are so talented! I cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 1, 2013•From North Kingstown, RI

We hired the X Isles for my mother in law's surprise 60th birthday party. Had @75 people at our house and hiring the band was one of the best decisions I made. The music was perfect! Such a hit with everyone. Will definitely hire them again the next time we need a band for one of our parties!

School Assembly•Reviewed on June 25, 2013•From North Kingstown, RI

The X Isles were a great band for our school to celebrate the end of the year with. They were professional and easy to work with. They worked with our band and choir students and got everyone up and dancing. It was great experience that was both educational and fun for the whole school. They are highly skilled musicians who were very entertaining. I would recommend them for school groups, weddings, or corporate events.
