Review by Ralph T.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 6, 2012•From Upper Marlboro, MD

They were just right for the wedding reception over-50 crowd. They're music was something that everyone could dance to. As the evening wore on, they got better.

Restaurant Event•Reviewed on October 4, 2011•From Middleburg, VA

What a difference having CAISO SteelBand perform at our event made to our Caribbean-themed rehearsal dinner. It was a large event, and they played beautifully, also happily playing any special requests. Their music really "made" the atmosphere. They were open to changes I made in timing and length of performance as we firmed up our plans for the dinner. During the evening, they were friendly, but always behaved very professionally. They were well-groomed and appropriately dressed, and my event would not have been even half as much fun without them! I am pleased beyond words!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 18, 2010•From Dickerson, MD

Overall experience: awesome! These guys totally rock! Many of the guests at our wedding have specifically raved about the performance. We were so grateful that they learned The Rainbow Connection for us. Their arrangement was terrific! Thanks for everything, C.A.I.S.O.! Dave & Shani

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on October 9, 2011•From Cambridge, MD

Caiso Steel Band was amazing. They made the rehearsal dinner so much fun. When I booked them I just thought they would be background music, but they were so good that everyone got up and danced for a large part of the evening. Michael was so nice and easy to work with. He even honored my request to show us how to do a line dance that we wanted him to play. I would definately have them at another party and I would highly reccommend them for your party.

Celebration•Reviewed on June 6, 2011•From Queenstown, MD

CAISO SteelBand played at a crab feast we had on the night prior to our wedding! They were so fun to watch and really got into the groove. They were professional at all times, and Mike answered all questions via email promptly. Totally easy to work with and lovely to listen to- would definitely recommend them!! THANKS GUYS!!!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on August 1, 2011•From Washington, DC

CAISO performed at the cocktail hour of my wedding. They were phenomenal! Several of our guests said that CAISO played a large part in making it the best cocktail hour they have ever been to and it was a highlight of the wedding. My family is from the Caribbean, and we had to force one of my aunts to take her seat in the reception hall, because she wanted to keep listening to the band. If you're looking for a great steel drum band, look no further. CAISO is it!

Picnic•Reviewed on August 22, 2011•From Fairfax, VA

The CAISO SteelBand was a pleasure to work with. They sounded great, looked great, and they could not have been nicer. They were a really fun bunch of guys. Their booking agent was very professional and dealt promptly with my questions and concerns. We hired them to play at our Annual Homeowners Picnic, which attracts over 500 guests. Over the past 4 years, we had been using a different band. We had decided that it was time for something new. This was the first time we had tried a different band. We were a little worried about how it might turn out, but the band exceeded my expectations. I am hoping to book them again next year. I would recommend them to anyone.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 10, 2010•From Washington, DC

C.A.I.S.O. was AWESOME! Hired them for a 60th birthday party with a tropical island theme and they made our event extra special! They were extremely professional and arrived right on time. All of our guests loved the delightful band members, and C.A.I.S.O.'s enchanting music got everyone right into the spirit of the party. It was the highlight of the evening when we sang "Happy Birthday" accompanied by C.A.I.S.O.'s wonderful steel drums! I highly recommend this band, and hope to invite them back to play at our home in future!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 2, 2010•From Washington, DC

Mike and the musicians of C.A.I.S.O. are stupendous! Everything was so professional and pleasant. Mike was great to deal with in the planning / contracting stages, and on the day of the event they arrived very early to set up, played an amazing set of both traditional and pop songs, and were the stars of the party! Everyone loved them and many people hope to hire them for their events. I cannot recommend them highly enough, they are THE BEST!

School Assembly•Reviewed on March 9, 2009•From Fairfax, VA

overall the school loved their performance i wish they could have played outside during carpool but due to the coldness the steel drums do not sound as good --maybe a practice run at the school would have helped--something to keep in mind next time

They showed up at 5:50 pm for a 6 pm start time. They were still setting up as guests were passing by them to enter the party.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on August 1, 2019•From Arlington, VA

I could not have been more please with CAISO! They created the perfect summer vibe for our event, our guests all raved about them, and the music couldn't have been better! If I could give them a higher rating, I absolutely would! I can't recommend them enough!!

Great job providing background music for a summertime celebration out of doors!

Review by Kathryn B.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on April 4, 2019•From Arlington, VA

I was tasked with finding music for a reception of 500 engineers – no easy task. Caiso was perfect! Michael and David were extremely responsive from the get-go and worked with me to make sure we had the atmosphere we wanted. (In this case, it was more for background music rather than “get the party started” – both styles they handle perfectly). They arrived early and were set up well before the event. Musically – they were FANTASTIC! So much talent (both music and vocals)! I received many compliments on them as the night went on. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would certainly hire them again myself. So thankful I went them for my event.

Hello Kathryn, We had a blast. Thank you for allowing us to be apart of a great event. We look forward to working with you again.
