Feedback

  • We hired Jamx for our daughters wedding ceremony and reception and they were fantastic. They played steel drums during an outside ceremony which was a lovely change from the same old repetitive music that is at every ceremony. At the reception they played through cocktail hour,the meal and through the rest of the night taking only two short breaks. The dance floor was packed all night,I cant remember the last wedding I have seen that everyone danced all night long,young and old. Dex and the band are the best,they truly know how to read a crowd,and everyone loved them. I think this band is truly worth every penny and more. Cathy Rioux, Reading,PA -- Cathy R, Philadelphia, PA, 10/18/2008
  • We booked JAMX for a corporate event. They did a great job adjusting to the bankers and treasurers that attended. They were prompt, patient and knew what songs to get the crowd involved. We will definitely utilize JAMX's services in the future. -Sherry J. Columbus OH- -- Sherry J, Aurora, OH, 9/18/2008
  • Dex and the Jam X Band kept the Positive Vibrations coming all night. I don't think I left the dance floor, and was this was the case for everyone, including our 85 year old grandma who had never seen a reggae band. The music bridged all generations and everyone had a blast. The lively music kept people dancing the whole night. I had never seen these guys before I hired them and being a bit of a music snob, I was a little worried.The band makes or breaks the party. They killed it! Their vidoes online don't do them enough justice. They are awesome live, the singers were interactive, listened to all our requests, and the guitar player rocked. Very memorable experience -- Dan V, Stone Harbor, NJ, 7/26/2008
  • We had a wonderful experience with Dex and Jamx. They were an absolute pleasure to do buisness with. The talent these fella's displayed was incredible, they did absolutely everything we asked of them and than some. Six weeks later and my family and friends are still complimenting us on our choice of entertainment. These guys are the absolute TRUTH, I highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion. Jamx, thank you for a wonderful experience and we hope to see and hear you guys in the very near future. Steve and Delia -- Steve L, Rising Sun, MD, 9/27/2008
  • We were very pleased with the band's performance at our party... they played just the right music, and were very accommodating when I requested a special song to be played immediately following a toast. We would hire them again if we do another party in the future... -- Christine B, Wilton, CT, 9/20/2008
  • The band was absolutely delightful and very professional. They sized up the audience and before long had everyone dancing and having a ball.The 91 year old uncle of the groom danced all night. The selection of songs was very appropriate--it was a Caribbean theme--and theypicked all the old classic favorites. People were even singing to the songs. They played for 5 hours--a long time----and made the evening perfect. I would hire them again in a New York minute. -- Carolyn R, Westport, CT, 9/13/2008
  • Dex and the guys were super professional as well as very talented musicians. They played til end of party, which was technically overtime, without any reservations. They truly played for the enjoyement of the party, and my guests felt as if they were Themselves part of the party, instead of the entertaiment. I have been around the music business for 30 years, and all I can say is if anyone wants an AUTHENTIC raggae/pan band for any occasion, JAMX is a No brainer. The best band in Northeast for a fair price and proffesional service..Hopefully I wasn't too bullish!!!!!!LOL -- Steve S, Muttontown, NY, 9/1/2008
  • JAM X exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The group was courteous, professional, and certainly knew what they were doing as far as musical talent. We had a house full of physicians and musicians and everyone commented on how good the group was. Just the right volume and the voices were outstanding. Due to the home's acoustics, the lead singer did not need a microphone. His voice was as sweet as they come. A big thank you to JAM X for bringing in the ambience of a real Jamaican steel drum band and creating an atmosphere that made my husband's 50th quite fun. Tina -- Tina N, Ellicott City, MD, 8/23/2008
  • The JAMX BAND was great, We had a great event at our home town race and a lot of it was due to Dex. We now have a team band and will have them at our future events (look out Key West!!). In addition the guys were great with my family and friends, Dex even had my brother playing the steel drum during a few songs. In conclusion to this reveiw, if you want the BEST for your event, hands down JAMX BAND is it!!!!! Thanks again guys for everything!!!!! Chris -- Christopher C, Patchogue, NY, 8/22/2008
  • The JAMX Band was exceptional from start to finish. From a personality perspective they were exactly what we were looking for, very friendly, professional and accomodating. The music was excellent and the band did a great job motivating our family and friends to get off their chairs and participate whether it was to dance or limbo! The JAMX band performed for 4 hours and only took 2 short breaks during which time they socialized with all of our guests. Our family and friends had a great time and loved the band. These word don't seem to do justice to the band. JAMX made our party a hit!!! I would absolutely recomend them and will use them again. -- Marcus D, Bethlehem, PA, 8/16/2008
  • Thank you for everything. Everything was perfect! -- Tracy D, East Northport, NY, 7/18/2008
  • JamX did an great job at the beach wedding. They were the main attraction and did an amazing job. They played the songs we wanted as background music as well as the highlight entertainment. Would recommend them to everyone! -- Rick B, West Haven, CT, 7/25/2008

  • We could not have been happier with JAMX Band!  They were the hit of the evening and made our party an outstanding success.  Our guests are still talking about how awesome they were!  We had an outdoor party, and we found out the next day that some of our neighbors were out dancing on their own back porches!  JAMX Band's talent is phenomenal and the song list they put together was incredible.  They were so thoroughly accommodating and professional that even the planning stages of our party were enjoyable.  We - AND our friends - will definitely keep them in mind for future parties.  They are highly, HIGHLY recommended by this very happy client! -- Lori F, Massapequa, NY, 6/28/2008

  • The JAMX Band was excellent. They played a set for our wedding cocktail hour and they were very professional and courteous. The blend of music was one of the highlights of our event. Dex, the leader was very accommodating and the band even learned a special song for our guests. I highly recommend them to anyone. -- Nicholas O, Park Ridge, NJ, 6/7/2008
  • JAMX Band performed at our charity event this past May. They were the ultimate professionals. I highly recommend them as a band you need to book. They interacted well with the crowd and they delievered as promised. JAMX band rocks! -- Seth P, Greenville, DE, 5/17/2008
  • The band was AWESOME. I was very impressed with their personal performance and pleasantly suprised by their talent and ability to really get a crowd riled up. I would definitely hire them again and most of my friends have said that they would hire them too. I just wish the night didn't have to end. GO JAMX!!!!! -- Joan G, Richmond, VA, 5/10/2008
  • They did a great job! Exceeded my expectations, very accomodating and easy to work with. Gave the exact atmosphere I was aiming for and overall I would highly recomend them to anybody looking for that type of entertainment. -- Frank K, Stamford, CT, 3/14/2008

  • The Band was a pleasure to work with, and was very accomodating through a series of last minute changes. I would not hesitate to recommend them.. Talent ++ -- Brill S, Pleasantville, NY, 10/13/2007
  • JamX Band was more than we expected for our cocktail hour to our wedding. They were amazingly talented, accomodating, professional, on time and all around oustanding. Our guests loved them and they were a great start to a party which continued into the reception. I would recommend them in a heart beat and we really appreciate all they did for our special day/night. -- Amy D, Whippany, NJ, 10/6/2007
  • Dex and two of his band members played for us on the beach for our rehearsal dinner party, the night before our wedding. They absolutely made our party and I would highly recommend them to anyone who asked. In fact, all of our party guests were raving about them so much that it made it close to impossible to top for the wedding night! They were so accomodating and played right on the beach without any electrical power. Then, when it rained later in the evening, they brought the party into our hotel lobby across the street and played for another 2 hours beyond what we had scheduled. All our guests (and us) were singing and dancing and had a great time! -- Shelby R, Ocean Grove, NJ, 9/14/2007
  • We were so pleased with Jamx band!! Not only was this a last minute decision that they helped us out with but everyone cannot stop talking about how good they were. Thanks for everything. Lori & Ken Kneessy -- Lori K, St James, NY, 9/3/2007
  • The JAMX Band was wonderful, and everyone at our event loved their music! The musicians arrived and were set-up well before our event started. Dex and Myrna were always professional and friendly - they made the entire process from contract signing to event very easy! I highly recommend JAMX Band. -- Kathy K, Dover, DE, 8/24/2007
  • There aren't enough words to describe our experience with JAMX BAND! I have had many parties with entertainment in the past, but never ever did we have the talent of JAMX! We wish we could afford to hire them for the whole summer!! Every person at my party called me the next day to specifically compliment JAMX! Some of my guests were wishing they had any excuse to hire them! If anyone is having any doubts about hiring them, DON'T! I wish I could do it all over again! My only regret was not giving them a bigger tip!!! Thank you sooo much for a night we will never forget because of Dexter and the JAMX Band!! All our appreciation, your August 11, 2007 party!!! -- Maria T, Hicksville, NY, 8/11/2007
  • Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! My new husband and I could not be happier with Dex and the JAMX Band. The band was perfect, professional, super nice and the music was great. Many of the guests at my wedding have asked me for JAMX's contact information and I suspect Dex will be getting some calls soon for more bookings! You cannot go wrong with this band. We could not have had more fun and cannot rave about this band more! If you are reading this because you need to hire a good band for a special occasion - don't even hesitate - just book em' - trust us! Nancy & John -- Nancy S, Port Washington, NY, 8/4/2007
  • Dex and the boys rocked!! A great time was had by all and everyone thought the band was excellent. They learned a special request for a friend visiting from LA - Stephen Stills "If You Can't Be With The One You Love....Love the One Your With". JAMX not only learned it, but delivered it with a reggae bang! Enjoyed emensely by all. -- Gregg S, Dix Hills, NY, 7/28/2007

They made the party and all our guests are stilltalking about it. Thanks you so much for making our daughters graduation party so memorable. I couldnt have asked for more.! Fantastic!! -- Terri S, Babylon, NY, 6/24/2007
  • JamX Band/Coral Sea Entertainment were great. They arrived at my wedding on time and professional and sounded amazing. They were very accomidating and whenever I tried to be in touch during the planning process they always got back to me promptly and were available (even when out of the country). They were very nice people. I would highly recommend them and they did a great job. I was getting compliments all night about them. THANK YOU - Gina Bonacci -- Gina B, Westport, CT, 6/23/2007
  • These guys were awesome!!! Very punctual, professional and friendly. They were perfect for our party which had guests of all ages. They provided a great selection of music that was entertaining but not over powerful. So many of our guests complimented on them and requested their information. I would highly recommend them to everyone!!! -- Joanne S, Walpole, MA, 6/2/2007
  • We are really pleased to submit this recommendation for JAMX. We had a college graduation party for our daughter at our home. These guys are so very talented, professional, and accomodating. All of our guests were really happy with the sounds and style of JAMX. And best of all, they are really nice guys, too! I would book JAMX again in a heartbeat for our next event. They were right on time, right on budget, played our list of songs delightfully and in the most entertainig and enjoyable way. -- Martin E, Rye Brook, NY, 5/20/2007
  • You won't be sorry to hire JAMX for your party! Dex is very accomodating and professional And the music was Fabulous! We are thinking of having another party just to have them back this year. We will definitely do it again next year ! -- Susan R, Essex, CT, 3/16/2007
  • This event was a home run for me as an event producer. The band was fantastic, perfect for the auduence and working with Gigmasters.com was a great way to book this group. -- Craig C, Stony Brook, NY, 2/27/2007
  • From the first time I spoke with Dex from Jamx, He was professional and very helpful. The planning of the event was very easy and handled without any stress of problems. The performance at the event was wonderful and everything we hoped it would be. They sounded and looked great. The guest all loved them and so did we. I would recommend them to anyone in need of that type of music. overall we couldn't have been happier with Jamx for our affair. Debbie Schwartz Briarcliff Manor, N.Y. -- Debbie S, New Rochelle, NY, 11/18/2006
  • I hired this excellent and talented band to play at my mother's retirement party on 10/28/2006. The party was a celebration and this band contributed to its overall success. Dex was easy to work with in planning and was very accommodating to my needs. We requested the band to play music during the cocktail hour in a foyer location separate from the banquet room. They were able to easily transition from one location to another with ease and without disruption to our guests. During dinner and for the remainder of the evening, they played a variety of music and our guests were so impressed with their musical talent. Needless to say, my mom's party was a great success. She was happy with the band and all her guests gave compliments on the entertainment they provided. At the end of the evening, many of our family members wondered how I found the band and requested their contact information. I would imagine I will see them again for another family event. Thanks to Dex for responding to all of my calls during the pre-planning stages and thanks for being timely to the event. It was a successful evening - and you and your band played a major part in making it a great event for my mother! Thank you! -- Eran E, Danbury, CT, 10/28/2006
  • I was a little nervous booking someone on line and not being able to see them live but I have to tell you.....this band is AMAZING!!!!! They were on time, friendly and extremely talented! I thought I was getting a calypso/reggae band but they were so much more! They can pretty much play anything. My guests loved them and asked for their business cards. I got so many calls and e-mails the following day with friends commenting on how great the band was. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you so much, Dex, for making our night a huge success! Cristina Morristown, NJ -- Cristina C, Morristown, NJ, 9/30/2006
  • That was the easiest survey to take! All 5's! We had VERY specific needs for our wedding band and they were perfect! We wanted an authentic reggae/Caribbean style band, with steel drums for our beach wedding. We wanted "chill" music during dinner, and fun dance music to follow. Not only was the dance floor packed all night, but they kept it going without that "obnoxious DJ" style. The band played great music all night and everyone, including our 80 year old grandmother, loved it! To top it off, they were IPOD capable, so my husband was able to make up play lists of our favorite songs which were played during the few short breaks that the band took. Everyone at JMAX was extremely professional and eager to make our event exactly how we envisioned it. Thank you, Dex, for constantly returning my phone calls and emails promptly, it was truly a pleasure to work with you. -- Danielle S, Brigantine, NJ, 9/23/2006
  • The band was beyond wonderful..they were so... accommodating!!! Everyone who was there enjoyed their music so much!!! They arrived early, and had everything set up ready to go!!! They even took the steel drum down to the beach where the wedding was held and played Here Comes The Bride!!! I would highly recommend them to anyone who likes steel drum entertainment. Morgan Roberts -- Morgan R, Strathmere, NJ, 9/16/2006
  • they were fantastic! They were the perfect backdrop/accessory for our event. I will definitely use them again and several people at the event wanted their information so that they could book them down the road as well including the operations manager from the event venue! -- Farley B, Long Branch, NJ, 9/9/2006
  • After listening to JAMX BAND play at a wedding in November 2005 there was no doubt in my mind that I would hire the band to play at my wedding. On September 9, 2006 JAMX BAND wowed my husband and I and our guests at our wedding at the Boathouse in Prospect Park. They were amazing. Words cannot express how happy my husband and I are with their overall performance, talent and professionalism. They played for our prelude and then kicked off our cocktail hour with a bang. Our guests have not stopped talking about how great the band was. Thank you so much for making our wedding a memorable event. We highly recommend JAMX BAND/Coral Sea Entertainment for your next celebration. -- Cathy S, New York, NY, 9/9/2006
  • I hired JAMX for my husband's surprise 30th birthday and I could not have asked for a more talented band. They are amazing. I would definately hire them again. They really made the party a memorable event for everyone that was there. Dex is professional and so accomodating. He made me feel at ease from the minute I hired the band. I would recommend JAMX to anyone looking to have a good time and hear great music!Thanks for everything Dex! -- Brooke L, Upper Brookville, NY, 8/12/2006
  • Wow! These guys were great!!! I was a bit worried because I only booked them a few weeks before the party, but as soon as I spoke with Dex over the phone he put my fears to rest. He was very professional in his dealings and we got exactly what we asked for. I can't think of anything that would have made the experience better! They showed up on time, sounded great and interacted with our guests in a fun way!!! I won't hesitate to hire them again. If you are considering them for your event, go for it!!! They made my wifes' 40th birthday party the talk of the entire neighborhood. Bob S. Lincroft, NJ -- Bob S, Lincroft, NJ, 8/5/2006

  • We received rave reviews from our guests following JamX's performance at our recent 4th of July party. Their music and entertainment style were terrific, and they were very professional and easy to work with. We had a few special requests of music particular to our event, and they graciously accommodated us. They contributed greatly to a very successful event. -- Sharon P, Sparta, NJ, 7/3/2006
  • Caterer $11,000, River Boat Cocktail Cruise $2,700, Flowers $1,000, Wedding Guests Dancing On The Beach In An Electrical Storm And Not Concerned About Being Struck By Lightening PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I saw the weather forcast for my beach wedding I thought I was gonna die!Dex and the guys were not only on time and up beat but they made the day absolute perfection!No one even noticed the rain and lightening the just danced like they were on a tropical island with not a care in the world!I can't thank you guys enough for making our day fabulous. Thanks again Randi & Bill Beyrouty Bayville New Jersey -- Randi B, Bayville, NJ, 6/24/2006
  • I was so blown away with every communication that I had with JAMX. They are completely professional and met the our needs with gracious enthusiasm. Artistically and personally - the ultimate!!!! I can't wait to have an excuse to have them play another event for us. Don't hesitate. I wish that everyone in business today was as competent and attentive. It was so easy and surpassed my expectations every step of the way. Dex Daley was accomodating and thorough, and Andy Akiho MADE our party UNFORGETTABLE. His appeal as a performer is broad; from a number of strangers who were so impressed and delighted by his music that they approached us to ask for a card, to twenty 12-13 year olds who were both enchanted with the sound and entertained by Andy's demonstration of the steel drum. Incredible experience from the moment I first requested contact with the group. -- Cindy G, Fairfax, VA, 6/20/2006
  • JAMX Band played at my husband's 40th birthday party. Dex was a pleasure to work with in the planning process. Sometimes it took Dex a few days to get back to me from my messages. If you plan to use them, please remember that because they are a band they travel a lot and cannot always get back to you immediately. However, rest assured that they do get back to you and follow through with every request. Skip and the band were extremely professional and on time even though they had an almost 3-hour drive to our event. The music was awesome and all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed them.

The entire band works so well together and they are fabulous entertainers! They were perfect during dinner and then could really turn it on for dancing.

  • They were great! Many of our guests asked us where we found them, and told us that they really enjoyed the entertainment. One of the guests told us that her children called so many people to let them know what a great time they had, & that they wanted a party like that. Euston was great as the limbo entertainer & the fire eater. Our guests could not stop saying good things about his performance. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience! -- Isabella G, Devon, PA, 5/6/2006

Thanks Dex and the Band for making our Carribean Nite a wonderful evening!! Lisa and Mike Bertino Wedding Rehearsal at the Mad Batter Cape May New Jersey -- Lisa P, Cape May, NJ, 5/5/2006
  • Dex and Rocket were very kind and professional. Dex kept in touch all along the way until they arrived so that we knew we were all on the same page for details of their appearance. Our event attracted over 700 guests and I go so many great compliments on the band. One person said "You certainly scored a homerun on the band!"

  • We hired JamX to play during our the cocktail hour portion of our wedding and they were fantastic. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on how great they were all night. My husband is an huge reggae fan and in his opinion the guys from JamX were the "real deal". I highly recommend them for any occasion - private party, bar mitzvah, fund raiser or even a WINTER wedding like ours! -- Danielle H, New York, NY, 12/2/2005
  • The JamxBand really rocks! They recently played at a large 50th birthday party for my husband in Princeton, outdoors in a tent, on probably the rainiest weekend ever. The band arrrived early and were professional and accomodating. The tent was leaky and they even came up with lyrics to help make fun of the rain. They had everyone dancing and even distant neighbors were showing up to hear them play even given the sheets of rain. Their voices, the sound, and the selection of reggae songs were all amazing! These guys are fabulous musicians and individuals. I can't wait to have another party and invite them as I've received over 50 emails from guests saying how wonderful the band and the party were and really it is all a reflection of the band! -- Bj C, Princeton, NJ, 10/8/2005
  • The JamX Band is the greatest band ever! They MADE my wedding reception... really! Everyone at my reception asked how I found them, and how I knew of them, and absolutely loved them!

They were able to successfully play to an audience of all ages. I couldn't be happier with the band selection I made. They were top-rate from beginning to end; quickly accessible, flexible, dependable. Easy and comfortable to work with. When the music played, we felt transported to a Caribbean Island. And guests of all ages were dancing. It was beautiful! -- Kelly G, Newburgh, NY, 8/20/2005
  • Coral Sea Entertainment was a pleasure to deal with, thank you very much!!!! -- Diane R, Sayville, NY, 8/13/2005
  • We could not have wished for a better band on our special day! Dex and the members of JamX were exceptional as they demonstrated amazing talent. It was also very easy to build rapport with them because they were friendly and courteous yet professional. Overall, they helped to create the perfect reception! I look forward to working with them again. I would definitely refer JamX to anyone who is looking for a Caribbean music band - you won't be disappointed!

Especially me, the host, as thier professionalism and approachable personalities made them fun to listen to and to work with. Many guests said that they would hire them. If I were you....I would too!! I would be happy to be a reference for JAMX... They helped make our party Awesome! Thanks Dex. Julia, and JAMX. Addie -- Addie T, Warminster, PA, 8/6/2005
  • JamxBand - WOW!! They were truly amazing!! They made our wedding and reception truly a fabulous, very memorable experience for all, one that our guests will be talking about for months.

I strongly recommend JamxBand and would hire them for future events!! -- Heidi H, Huntington, NY, 7/23/2005
  • I thoroughly enjoyed working with JamxBand/Coral Sea Entertainment. We hired them for a corporate networking event - the purpose of which was to mingle and socialize with other guests in the hopes of business development. In advance of our event, JamxBand was responsive and professional. Dex sent a dvd of their performances which helped not only make our decision but also let us know exactly what their performances sounded like. At the event, the music was excellent! Our guests are rather reserved and were looking for more of background entertainment so they could network. JamxBand was very accommodating to this and provided the perfect balance of relaxed yet fun music. That said, were this not a networking corporate event, I would imagine they'd provide great dancing entertainment. -- Laura D, Philadelphia, PA, 6/20/2005
  • Dex and the members of the band were terrific and we thoroughly enjoyed having them at our event. Thank you so much - they were wonderful. -- Sunny D, Fenwick Island, DE, 6/18/2005
  • Dealing with JamxBand/Coral Sea Entertainment(Dex)was a joy. I would use them again. They made my wedding great and I was complimented by my guests over and over again on how great they were. Thanks so much! -- Colleen M, Massapequa, NY, 6/11/2005
  • Dex and Coral Sea Entertainment were so unbelievably AWESOME! Wow! They were the best band we had seen in a long, long time and the fact that they were playing at our wedding was unbelievable. Beyond being musically gifted, all three band members were really kind and easy going and just "good people." I was approached by so many of my guests as to where I found them, if they were local and how much they cost. So if you want an upbeat, talented fun band that you will want to dance to, these are your guys. We are going to book them for my husbands 30th and I cannot wait. Big, big kudos to Coral Sea Productions. -- Mimi F, Skaneateles, NY, 6/11/2005

JamX Band did a good job of reading the crowd and playing exactly what we wanted to hear. I would definitely hire them again and would recommend them to anyone who wants to make sure that their party is a hit! JamX is definitely worth the time, effort and money. You will not be disappointed!! -- Trecia P, New York, NY, 12/3/2005
