  • Nico and Ricky were absolutely the best. They arrived early, provided a ton of fun before, during and after! These guys put on a great show and are a blast. If I ever do this again, they will most definately be my first choice!!! -- Gayle L, Las Vegas, NV, 10/24/2009
  • Nico with Caribbean Steel was absolutely amazing! We had excellent communication from the start and I was extremely happy with his performance and impressed with his talent. And my guests LOVED him. My only regret was not keeping him around longer to perform. And now I'm finding a reason to throw a party so that I can have him come back. Thanks for a great time! -- Victoria G, Henderson, NV, 2/7/2009
  • Nikko and his musicians were wonderful and very talented. They entertained all of us, everyone just loved them, they were a hugh hit! Thank you very much! -- Laurene C, Henderson, NV, 7/29/2009
  • What an awesome time, We are a community on the Colorado River with a tropical theme. Caribbean Steel fit and exceeded our expectations, their look and their music was perfect. Nico and his bandmates kept the party alive. The band was tight and they interacted with our clients and residents extremely well. From a profesional stand point I would strongly suggest Caribbean Steel for any occasion. Dan Zeller Palms River Resort 760-326-0333 -- Dan Z, Needles, CA, 7/5/2008

  • Caribbean Steel is fabulous! We have hired Nico twice already for parties and we'd love to hire him again in the future. He is always very professional and an excellent musician! Caribbean Steel plays music that is not overpowering and is suitable for all ages. Our last party was for our twins' 1st birthday and Caribbean Steel helped make the party memorable, festive, and fun for everyone. Nico even set out murachas and hula hoops to get the crowd involved. We reccommend Caribbean Steel without hestiation! -- Desiree L, Las Vegas, NV, 3/22/2008
  • Wonderful job! They're fun and lively and would be a great addition to any party. -- Barbara J, Las Vegas, NV, 9/3/2009
  • Caribbean Steel was the talk of the cocktail party. Without them, we wouldn't have had people stay w-a-y past closing. Everybody was talking about our party the next day at the conference. Thanks so much! I highly, highly recommend this band!!! -- Deb K, Las Vegas, NV, 3/11/2008

  • My husband and I really enjoyed this group. They were there on time and ready before they were required to perform. They were very friendly and performed very well. They made our wedding more memerable. T -- Misty B, Las Vegas, NV, 7/20/2007
  • Nico & the band were great. I asked him to do his own thing & they were great, The music was great & the sound was perfect.They never blasted out the the room, it was right all the way. Even the country club where we had the event was impressed & wanted their contact info. Very professional & courteous. I highly recommend them for your event. Thanks again Nico, regards, Pete -- Peter F, Las Vegas, NV, 3/17/2007
  • Caribbean Steel was hands down, the best, bar none! They arrived on time, were completely accommodating & flexible to our needs & truly got the party rocking & kept it that way. I am so please with Caribbean Steel, I'm looking for a way to book them again, even if I have to create a company event around them! Thank you Caribbean Steel! Thank you Nico!! Sincerely CardioVascular BioTherapeutics Regards, Joy -- James K, Las Vegas, NV, 9/15/2006
  • We couldn't have our Wedding in the Islands ... so Carribean Steel brought the Islands to our Wedding! Words can't express how happy we were with their level of talent, professionalism, energy and overall performance. They played for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Nico and the guys even learned a new song, "Can't help falling in love with you," for our first dance. Our guests are still talking about how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. Nico acted as our MC for the evening and made sure the energy level stayed high, and our feet kept moving as we danced the night away. - Nicole Four Seasons Hotel - Las Vegas, NV -- Nicole B, Las Vegas, NV, 9/10/2006
  • Caribbean Steel did a fantastic job helping us prepare for our wedding and made our celebration an enjoyable event for our guests. Children danced and hula hooped and maraca-ed their way through the day, while adults had time to enjoy dancing and laughing with each other. A great time was had by all and Caribbean Steel helped us make that happen! Thank you for making us and our guests dance, enjoy and relax! -- Catherine S, San Diego, CA, 7/15/2006
  • I will DEFINITELY hire Caribbean Steel again for future events. They were quick & efficient in their set up, professional in appearance and performance - simply fantastic!! They were the perfect "mood setter" for my husband's 60th birthday party. It was a Caribbean Cruise theme and the music set the mood and got the whole crowd going. I would recommend them to anyone - and I look forward to the opportunity of hiring them again myself. Cathy McDaniel -- Cathy M, Rancho Santa Fe, CA, 7/8/2006
  • Nico showed up early and was great! He performed all the songs we requested and kept the atmosphere festive for the wedding ceremony and reception. We had a smaller wedding and Nico fit in perfectly. Thank you for making our day special. -- Jasmine M, San Diego, CA, 6/10/2006
  • Caribbean Steel provided great entertainment. They kept things moving, and were definitely a crowd pleaser. The children and adults alike enjoyed the Hula hoops and Limbo games. All of my guests were impressed and enjoyed their music. They provided a fun yet relaxing environment. Thanks guys....next time we throw a luau, you're hired =) -Rob C, Fontana, CA -- Rob C, Fontana, CA, 5/20/2006
  • Caribbean Steel was great! They were a perfect fit to our Beach themed wedding and our guests loved their style. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs that extra kick to take their event to the next level. Jim and Megan Married May 06 La Jolla, CA -- Megan H, La Jolla, CA, 5/6/2006
  • The band was great. We had a corporate event with about 180 people and everybody commented on how great the band was. They played a big enough variety that everyone heard something they liked and yet the band kept within the Carribean Steel Drum theme. Not an easy thing to do. I would highly recommend them. -- Keith G, Carlsbad, CA, 5/1/2006
