Pan-A-Cea Steel Drum & Calypso Band

We put a lot of thought into every part of this wedding - and were very happy that we chose this band for our cocktails! Can't say enough good things about them - the music was authentic and the music selections were just right. I called a couple of other bands who had told me basically that "their band was the best and that there were no other good players in town..." which put up a red flag immediately!!! This was the right band for us! Extremely happy!!!

We hired Pan a Cea to play at our wedding and they were amazing. They played as the guests arrived on the beach. They played during our ceremony. They played during the cocktail hour and then they played a full on six person set during our reception. They sound great! They do amazing cover versions of all kinds of reggae, spanish, calypso, and steel drum music. We could not have been happier with them. My wife had several special request songs and they gracefully agreed to learn the songs. They performed them perfectly. All our guests loved the band and everyone was up and dancing. We would hire them again in an instant if we ever need a band for anything. I love these guys. I would go see them play live at any show.

These guys are awesome!!!!!!!! They were great! The music is really tight.. the songs they cover sound incredible. We hired two steel drum guys for a beach wedding. They were great before and during the ceremony. Then they played the cocktail hour (I think.. I wasn't really there). But when they really are amazing is when all six of them played the reception!!!!! I love these guys! I would go see any of their public performances... or hire them again without even looking around if I ever need a band. If you like this kinda music or are having any event with an island or beach theme these are your guys right here.

We hired a soloist for our wedding ceremony and the trio for the reception. Ours was an intimate wedding with close family and friends. We loved the music! The soloist played some beautiful music before the wedding, the wedding march, recessional and for a few minutes while peopled moved to the reception - it was just perfect! The trio played for cocktails, dinner and then some dancing! I can't say enough good things about this band - so let me just say they were "perfect!"

Great band - great music, professional and friendly. We would gladly recommend them to anyone! Our guests kept asking where we found them and I'm sure they will have a lot of follow-on business. They provided a steel drum soloist for the wedding ceremony, another soloist for cocktails and a 6-piece band for the reception. We just had the best time and the music was great!

We hired a steel drum soloist for our daughters wedding reception (three hours), which covered cocktails and dinner. We were pleasantly surprised at both the quality of the music and the variety of music played. Because of the wide variety of ages at the wedding we had been concerned about pleasing everyone, but it was just perfect. We had heard the steel drum bands in the Caribbean on vacation and thought that would be both beautiful and unique. We were not disappointed. It felt like we were right back there on the islands!!! It's just such happy upbeat music, and was just what we had wanted. We are very happy with everything from our business dealings all the way to the actual performance. They made sure they had all of the information needed to make everything as seamless as possible, which was quite a comfort and keep our stress level a bit lower. The musician was on time (actually arrived about an hour before the performance time), friendly, dressed nicely and the music was great!

This is a wonderful band! We hired the steel drum duo for our wedding ceremony and cocktails. They ceremony was perfect - the live steel drums made the ceremony both beautiful and unique, which is exactly what we wanted! For cocktails, they played a wide variety of music making the ambiance just right for everyone. The music was lively without being overpowering and set a wonderful mood. Our guests are still commenting about how great the music was! We would definately recommend this band highly.

What a great band! They provided the music for our entire wedding (steel drum duo), cocktails (steel drum soloist) and reception (five-piece band)which was very nice, it definately made things easier in terms of organzing the entire event. They were very helpful in giving us ideas of how all of this could be done smoothly for our guests and make everything appear seamless. Having traveled to the Caribbean many times, we had wanted "authentic" Caribbean music instead of some of the "Americanized" music we had heard previously and are so happy that we chose them for our wedding. The music exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them highly!

We booked a duo - they covered our pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktails and our entire reception. I was amazed that two people could sound so great and play such a wide variety of music. We were initially concerned about a typically "Caribbean" band being able to play appropriate music for each part of our wedding...boy were we surprised! Everything was just right - they set the right tone, everything from "smooshing" to dancing!!! They were on time (arrived about 1 hour before starting time), friendly, professional, the music was incredible.
We're recommending them to all of our friends and hope to be able to hire them again in the future.

This band is just wonderful! We had them perform our wedding ceremony, cocktails and for our reception. The steel drum duo for the actual ceremony & cocktails was great! We had the five-piece band for our reception - they were fantastic! People are still telling us how much they enjoyed the music!

Everything went very smoothly - from the initial contact to the end of our reception. We never had to worry about anything...what a relief!!! I will be hiring them again in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone!

We were so impressed with this band! They provided music for all parts of our wedding from pre-ceremony, ceremony & post-ceremony, cocktails (steel drum duo) as well as a full band for our reception. They were at the right place at the right time, friendly and professional. The music was fantastic!!! Everything from soft, romantic music to our favorite Jimmy Buffett songs and reggae +++...more than we had thought possible!

Before hiring them, we previewed several other bands. What we noticed was the true "Caribbean" sound - it was not an "Americanized" version...it was just fantastic!!!!

We can't thank them enough - and hope to be able to hire them again for another event.

A TRULY FABULOUS BAND! I love steel drums. When they start to play it feels like you're on an island far away... where's my mai tai? I highly recommend to get 2 or more people when you hire them, it helps to set the mood. 10+!
