Review by Ella H.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 2, 2013•From Newport, RI

We booked The X-Isles after hearing them perform one weekend afternoon. They were the perfect backdrop to our wedding cocktail hour and reception. LOVED it and so did our guests. John was very prompt in our correspondences both email and phone. He played songs we requested during their breaks. Our guests loved them too! We highly recommend them if this is the feel you're going for.

Graduation Party•Reviewed on May 12, 2013•From Cranston, RI

Absolutely the best most talented in there field, accommodating to every request, interaction with our guest, and John and Rick, two great guys, respectively! Made this event for my daughter's MBA accomplishment, a most memorable experience for all who attended, especially the cooperation of pulling off a flash mob dance, with eighty percent of the guest in on it, a big surprise for Tara. Looking forward to seeing them in Newport, or the next opportunity to have them perform for us again, thanks. Joe, Sandy and Tara

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 26, 2012•From Boston, MA

We booked The X Isles to play at our wedding reception and they were fantastic. Very thorough, responsive, and easy to work with leading up to the event, and they did a great job onsite as well. They provided the perfect hybrid model for us - singing/playing for a few hours and then DJ music for the second half so people could dance. I would highly recommend them for your event!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on September 8, 2012•From Falmouth, MA

Everyone at the event enjoyed the Xisle so much. they certainly made it exceptional. The bride first only wanted it as back ground music, but when everyone got into it, she changed and wanted it to be party time. the Xisles saw this and changed to accommodate us. We loved the conga line...to celebrate a birthday. I cannot recommend them more highly... They made the event unique....and people kept coming to me during the wedding telling me how much fun they had...and thanking me for inviting them... Hire the Xisles...I promise you will not be disappointed...they only tried to please...and succeeded completely

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on August 30, 2012•From Newport, RI

Would certainly recommend Rick Andre from the X Isles for any event! We had Rick play the steel drums aboard the Schooner Aurora for a sunset sail after our wedding in Newport Rhode Island it was a highlight of the whole wedding weekend! Great music, very accomodating as we had to change the venue (originally was playing at cocktail hour but had to change it to the schooner after we booked him). The steel drums were a perfect fit for our event and our guests are still talking about it. !

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 20, 2011•From Rumson, NJ

The X Isles are amazing! They performed for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed them, and are hoping they come back to Jersey soon. From day one they were wonderful to communicate with and 100% accomodating. I would highly recommend them, and couldn't thank them enough for making our wedding day unforgettable!!!!

Private Party•Reviewed on August 31, 2011•From North Conway, NH

They made our Luau party a success. The guest loved them and they played great music. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great time. Thanks X Isles for making our Luau so much fun! It was such a surprise for our guest and everyone kept saying what a great time they had. The X Isles made it feel real and even all the other guests of the hotel enjoyed them. They got the party started and kept it going all night long. I would hire them again in a heart beat. Maybe we can do it again for my next son's wedding. Thank you again!

Wonderful group. This was the second time we had them over. First time last year for a graduation party, this time summer party (around 50 people). We loved them...so did my neighbors (they kept their windows open to listen). Great music, great people. Hire them!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 31, 2011•From New Haven, CT

John and Rick were Great! Very Pleasent! They looked very nice, their colors blended with our bridal party. Tom and I were Very Pleased with the entire performance from them. We recieved many compliments from our guests. The X Isles Band was a great touch to our wedding. The steel drums blended so nice to our Beach Wedding Ceremony. They played before, after our ceremony and played thru our 1 1/2 cocktail time, which was all outside. It was Magnificent !!! I would Totally recommend them to EVERYONE!!!! I'm so happy we chose the X Isle Band... A Great duo... Thank You So Much!!! :)

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on July 18, 2011•From Narragansett, RI

We had the X Isles play during the cocktail hour at our wedding and it was a huge hit. Our wedding was on the beach so the steel drums completely set the tone for the relaxed atmosphere we were looking for. It was perfect!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 13, 2011•From Chatham, MA

The Xisle were not only fantastic musicians but all around great guys! My wife and I couldn't ask for a better bunch of guys for our big day (wedding!). They were very accomodating for the few last second changes we needed to make due to weather, and just made everything that much more enjoyable. Thanks again guys!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on May 15, 2011•From North Chatham, MA

The X Isles provided the entertainment for our Daughter's Friday evening Wedding Rehearsal party on Cape Cod. Both my Daughter and I agreed after viewing video on the web that their style of music was exactly what we were both looking for. They are simply outstanding extremely talented professional entertainers and excellent to work with. The music selection was perfect spanning cocktails, dinner and some dancing time afterwards. They were extremely accommodating as it was a rather cold evening and they set up and played out on the deck for us. We would like to thank the X Isles for a great evening providing us with lasting memories. We highly recommend the X Isles.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 10, 2011•From Northampton, MA

We had a wonderful experience using the X-Isles. I had just booked a single steel drummer but Rick brought along a real Cariebean musician friend to jam with him on the congos. He was talented and personable and the a nice augment to the steel drum. For free! All my guests said they enjoyed the band and the the steel drum was a perfect choice to make any event light, fun and upbeat. indoors or outside. A lot of my friends are already planning to use the X-Isles at their up-coming events. Good music, nice guys and resaonably priced. The had both the kids and adults limin mon.
