Thank you Christy. You throw a great party!
It was a special treat to have Luc sit in on percussion...

All The Best, Richard
Richard was a fantastic addition to my husband's 50th bday party! We celebrated his birthday on a harbor cruise/boat and had the time of our lives! Richard was professional - arrived on time, set up and ready to go by the time our guests arrived on the boat! He was a pleasure to work with! His Island music was just what we wanted in the background as family and friends socialized. Booking was a breeze and communication was simple. Was a great party!!
Richard and Island Voyage were fantastic and just what our birthday party wanted. He arrived on time, was set up and ready to go on time, played the entire time, and was a pleasure to work with. It really made our birthday party something special and the talk of our community!
Response from Island Voyage / Steel Drum Band:
Wow Steve, thanks for the wonderful write up and generous tip! It was a pleasure playing for Pattie's birthday. Everyone one was friendly and having a good time. Adelina's Bistro was a great place to have the party.
You were the perfect host and took care of all the details. That makes my job easier and more enjoyable.
All The Best To You Both, Richard
Island Voyage provided excellent service and entertainment for my son's graduation party that included both adults and high school kids. The band arrived on time, worked seamlessly with the party flow and provided a great atmosphere for the party. The music was perfect for our crowd, just the right balance providing a good overall feeling for the party without being overwhelming. We would hire Island Voyage again any day.
We had the Island Voyage Steel Drum Band play our Prelude in the Park community event on Saturday, August 14th. Their music was set the perfect atmosphere for an event with great energy and colorful decorations. Our theme was 'Brighter Days Ahead' and their band was a perfect complement. The band was professional, arrived on time, played beautifully, and was so nice to work with. I would recommend them for any event, large or small, and will gladly use them again.
Richard joined us for my daughters first Carrie an themed birthday party and boy did he set it off! The park didn’t allow amplified noise so he played without an amp but the sound still made the party feel full and lively. We had a blast.
Response from Island Voyage / Steel Drum Band:
Thank you Myriah, we all had fun! The kids did a great job of joining the band.
The video of Nila playing the steel drum...Priceless :)
Richard at Island Voyage was the best! I really loved his playlist he put together and he was very entertaining. They did a great job of helping us host a virtual party for a coworker that was leaving our company. Everyone loved the added touch of Richard and his steel drum music. I would definitely recommend Island Voyage for your next party or virtual event. Two big thumbs up from us!
Response from Island Voyage / Steel Drum Band:
Thank you brian! It's has been an honor and a pleasure performing for you and your clients over the years.
GigSalad is my favorite place to play... :)
From the beginning, Richard was great at communicating. We worked out the details even when my initial quote needed to be revised & details changed. They arrived right on time to set up, & the music was a smash! Our guests had a blast! Island Voyage offered multiple musicians to accommodate our needs. Overall, it was a great experience.
The music was fantastic and the musician made sure the group had fun and kept the party upbeat! The kids learned the limbo and played with instruments, both the adults and kids danced. It was a blast all around! Great way to celebrate and have fun for all ages.
Island Voyage Steel Drum Band made our wedding reception a very lively, fun-loving event. It created a very festive, upbeat atmosphete, and many of the guests commented on how much fun they had. One person charactried by saying "this was the best celebration of its kind, that we've ever been to."
Response from Island Voyage / Steel Drum Band:
Thanks Randy and Diane,
You throw a great party, have wonderful friends and make a great couple.
All the Best,
Richard
Richard was absolutely fabulous! His steel drum calypso music set the mood for our Island themed dinner party celebrating a friend's 50th Birthday. Richard is a talented and accomplished musician with a great personality. He made it a special and very FUN night. A happy memory for all!
Response from Island Voyage / Steel Drum Band:
Hello Shirlyn,
For an intimate party of eight you really know how to celebrate!
Everyone sounded great on the percussion instruments, just like a steel drum band from Trinidad. The ladies were certainly the Limbo Stars. Maybe next time guys.
Even the backyard with the pool, waterfall and all the beautiful plants made it feel like we were on an Island Voyage. :) Scott has quite a green thumb. Glad you enjoyed my music.
Thanks for the wonderful review. Can't we all just Drum-A-Long...
I can't say enough good things about Richard. His was so kind and thoughtful. He involved our grand kids and adults and made the afternoon fun. He has a heart and smile as big as Texas.
His talent made for a perfect day.
Response from Island Voyage / Steel Drum Band:
Hello Don,
It was a pleasure playing for Betsy's 70th Birthday Party.
Everyone was so nice and we all had fun!
It was great when the kids started off the Limbo & Conga line.
I especially enjoyed it when they joined the band to play some percussion instruments.
Memories that last a lifetime...
Thank you for the kind words and excellent rating. I truly enjoy making a party come alive.
All The Best,
Richard
