Feedback
- We were very pleased with the Island Boys. They were the perfect band that fit in with our Fair them of "Beach Party". Their music was great and got many of our fair patrons dancing. They were flexible and worked around the weather by arriving and starting early. They were also very friendly and nice to work with. I would hire them back in a minute. Thanks Island Boys for coming to our fair! -- Doris P, Largo, FL, 10/8/2011
- The Island Boys were fabulous and set the mood for our entire event. We were very pleased and will definitely use The Island Boys and Gigmaster again. Thank you! -- Carla M, St Pete, FL, 1/21/2012
- I usually find at least one or two things worth a non-5 star rating anytime I give feedback for anything...even though the work or service provided was great, but with this feedback I cannot do it. Across the board, Islandboys helped give our wedding that "something" that made it even better. We asked the player to do a very intricate piece for our ceremony and he pulled it off without a hitch AND without question. At the reception he played and performed masterfully. And this feedback was just his performance. He was also very friendly, personable, and professional. If you want the best, hire these guys! -- Travis W, Holmes Beach, FL, 4/14/2012
- From first inquiry to the end of his hours of entertainment for our guests and family at the beach wedding ceremony & poolside cocktail hour for my son and our new daughter-in-law, everything was topnotch and so customer focused! Winston arrived early to set up, played wonderfully, giving very special practice & attention to a song that was the couple's postwedding request. Our guests enjoyed the entertainment so much, and we are very grateful the addition to a wedding that was a dream come true! Cannot thank you enough!

- They were great! All of the guests at the event wanted to know where I found them and I think they will get many more bookings from the guests. They really have a good sound and were a pleasure to do business with. I will definately book them in the future! -- Mindy R, St Petersburg, FL, 5/12/2012
- Josh was excellent! We couldn't have asked for better music at our Rehearsal Dinner and all the guests were SO impressed with the music - he was so excellent we asked him to stay extra time! Thank you!! -- Esther M, Saint Pete Beach, FL, 5/4/2012
- Winston was wonderful!! He even played in 2 sites for us - at our beach ceremony and then drove over to the cocktail hour and did an amazing job! We couldn't be happier and he is the more personable and professional person - thank you! -- Esther M, St Pete Bch, FL, 5/5/2012

- Wonderful job! Winston was so nice and pleasant to do business with. Everyone loved the steel drum music at our wedding. We will definitely hire them for future events. Thank you! -- Morganna F, St Pete Beach, FL, 6/6/2009
- Hiring the Island Boys was the smartest thing I did for my party -- by far. They set the stage for the event, and filled my backyard with music that transported us to the "Islands".
I heard from others who want to hire them! -- Jennifer M, Sarasota, FL, 5/25/2009
- Jesse of the Island Boys was fantastic. My party was a total success and Jesse provided absolutely the best music for my birthday party - Tropical Nights - Caribbean Style. His music was perfect. I've gotten many phone calls saying that my party was the best that many had ever attended. And, of course, everyone wanted to know how to reach the Island Boys should they want entertainment for their own Island Party! Great!

- The Island Boys did a wonderful job playing at my beach wedding. Many guests came up to me and stated how cool it was that he could play Canon in D and other traditional wedding songs on the Steel Drum. Thanks for making our wedding unique! -- Hannah M, Saint Pete Beach, FL, 5/16/2009
- We were very pleased with the performance and professionalism of Josh (our performer) and Winston his dad, with whom we made arrangements. The music was wonderful - exactly what we wanted. Josh and Winston worked with us on the song list, the duration of the gig, and the special song requests for our daughter's birthday.
The party was so successful, we extended him an hour on the spot and the guests were begging to keep him all night. We would have, but it was Josh's anniversary, so we reluctantly let him go home!
We had a wonderful experience with Josh, very polite, easy going and talented! Great steel drum player! -- Jodi G, St Pete Beach, FL, 5/9/2009
- A wonderful experience. They were very professional and worked with us for all the details for our daughter's wedding. They were fantastic.

- Perfect in every way! -- Deanna D, Clearwater, FL, 3/27/2009
- The Island Boys, Jesse, was excellent. My guests were very pleased with Jesse's performance. He was courteous and very accomadating to my guests. I recommend the Island Boys to anyone who wants a Steel Drum Band. I certainly will use the Island Boys again for my next party. Thank you Gigmasters. -- Dorothy N, Treasure Island, FL, 2/8/2009
- Jesse was absolutely wonderful. He was very professional and was enjoyed by everyone. It was a great addition to the graduation party and several people asked how to get in touch with him. We also recommended they go to Bilmar to hear the bad perform. Thank you so much. -- Mandy L, Largo, FL, 5/16/2009
