Feedback
- On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest...I would give them 100!!! They were absolutely amazing and were so well liked that we had them stay for another 45 minutes! Every person at the dinner raved about them and praised me for hiring Mello Vibes for our event. When I first started looking for a steel band, I clicked on Mello Vibes and once I heard them, that was it. I wanted no-one else. I purhased their cd and I listen to it constantly. I would be happy to have anyone contact me with any questions or for a fabulous referral. From contacting me in the beginning to saying goodbye at th end of the evening, Mello Vibes was unbelievable. Thank you so much!!!! -- Karen G, Orlando, FL, 10/10/2010
- We wanted to share our fantastic experience working with Mello. We hired him to play the steel pan at our beach ceremony and reception in Key Largo. Words really cannot describe how pleased we were with his performance, professionalism and fun, outgoing spirit. The man is talented beyond belief, loves what he does, and never stopped smiling or having a good time. His vibe was contagious and everyone loved him! Mello's genuine spirit and fantastic music will live on in our memories and hearts. His contribution to our special day could not have been better. We give our highest recommendation out to Mello. Peace and love, Edie & Todd Wedekind ~ Danville, CA -- Edie G, Key Largo, FL, 8/4/2007
- Mello is fantastic. Numerous guests marveled at what a talented musician he is. He´s extremely professional, arriving on time, playing according to our contract, and expertly judging the mood of the crowd to adjust volume and tempo. He´s also really friendly and personable. Even the Hotel Coordinator for our event was amazed at how great he is to work with and hoped he would return to the hotel in the future. You won´t go wrong if you hire him. -- Elizabeth E, Melbourne, FL, 7/4/2008
- We can enough about Mello. We booked him for our rehearsal dinner and it was the best decision we made. He arrived early and was ready to go before our guests even arrived. He was very professional, but even more important, he was such a friendly guy. It has been weeks since the wedding and we are still talking about Mello. We have already had two party guests ask for his contact info. We would book him again in a heartbeat. He is awesome!! -- Brooke N, Windermere, FL, 4/6/2007
- The music was great and everyone loved it! He was very accommodating and willing. -- Dami C, Miami, FL, 3/14/2007
