Birthday Party (Adults)
in Waterloo, ON
on 01/11/2013
"Starlite played for my 40th birthday party. The music was wonderful, and Wendell and his daughter were a delight to have at our gathering. Young and old danced to their music, and they even took the time to teach me how to play a scale on the steel drum. We loved their variety of tunes - from "Dancing Queen" to "Grandfather's Clock" to "Oh When the Saints". It was truly music that made us want to get up and dance, and left us with a very happy feeling.
I will always remember this evening, and Starlite was a big part of making it so wonderful and memorable. Thank you!"

"A terrific band. They are wonderful people and musicians. Wendell was prompt to respond to me anytime I would contact him on the weeks leading up to they party. They arrived early to set up and stayed late when we asked them too last minute. Everyone was enjoying them so much we just had to ask if they could stay. Thank you Starlite for making our party SO fun and memorable!"

"I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience hiring Starlite Steelband for my mother's suprise 60th birthday party. Everything from booking to coordinating the final details was a smooth process. Wendell and Andrew arrived on time and only took a few seconds to set up. The party was in my parents' backyard and their performance was a lovely touch to the night. Their music wasn't too loud or intrusive ... it was just right!!! My guests were thoroughly entertained and loved every second of it. I would hire Starlite Steelband again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much! You guys made my mother's birthday that more special. With love and thanks, Andrea. "

"They were early to set up. The bride and groom loved them as did the guests. Their professionalism was outstanding. They were polite and easy going people who were a pleasure to meet. I have never hired a steel band before and from my first contact from Gigmasters when I read all the reviews it was great. Wendell from Starlight called to speak with me on the phone and I was at ease knowing he would not let me down. We had several emails which were promptly returned. We can not say enough about Wendell and his daughter who performed it was an excellent and outstanding evening. We would highly recommend them for any occasion.

"Wendell and Jennessa Claxton performed very well. They are very talented upon the steel drums. They were very accommodating to last minute scheduling adjustments. The only improvement they could make was for Wendell or Jennessa to give a little bit of commentary upon the occasional song etc. and have a little more interaction with their audience. They drummed extremely well, were very supportive of our cause, polite, and gracious.
God’s grace to you Peter,
Pastor Dan

"We had Starlite Steelband play for a holiday party for our Big Sister/Little Sister matches (approximately 110 people), sponsored by Big Brothers/Big Sisters of London and Area. The band came early, stayed late, and was a tremendous hit. They even invited the girls to each take a turn playing steel pan and had a big line-up of girls by the end, and everyone got a turn. I can't believe how easy it was to find such a wonderful band who really made our event special. Wendell and I were in contact before the event, and it was such a pleasure to work with him. I highly, highly recommend them. Thank you, Wendell! "

They required very little from me and set up very quickly so I was able to enjoy being with our guests. I would not hesitate to hire them again or to recommend them.

"I have nothing but gushing reviews to give and pass along based on my experience with Starlite Steelband. They arrived early and gladly agreed to play outdoors (originally planned as an indoor event)
The group not only performed but they also talked about the drums and the music. (as per my request). They invited students and parents to come and try the drums, which helped further engage the audience in an already terrific performance.
I would love to work with them in the future. Everyone was very polite and gracious and an it was my pleasure to work with such a talented, down to earth group of artists. Thank You!

The only thing I would say then could improve on is their social skills. After they were done, they packed up their equipment and left and I didnt even get to say good-bye and thank them.
Otherwise, the night was a huge success!!! Thanks so much. "
