Mello was incredible!! He played during our cocktail hour for our wedding reception and was an absolute HIT!! Mello, thank you for making our day so special. It was everything we dreamed of!! Don’t even hesitate to book! You will not regret it!!
I hired him for a birthday party at our house and he made the party so much fun, everyone kept telling us how great he was. The steel drums and mix of other music was a perfect balance. Highly recommend him.
Response from Mello Vibes:
Thank you for the kind words. Everyone at your event was so nice and pleasant! It was a fun environment!! Thank you so much for hiring me!!🙂
If you are having a wedding, or any fun event for that matter, and having an unforgettable reception is a high priority for you, Mello is your guy! I knew that I wanted to have my wedding ceremony on the beach with tropical steel drum music and I knew I wanted to have the reception of a lifetime afterwards, filled with my favorite party music, night-life vibes, and a host who would bring the wild side out of my guests – and that’s exactly what I got with Mello! I hired him for 5 hours as a steel drummer and DJ, and it was my choice of how I wanted to split his time for services. I requested steel drumming for my ceremony processional and recessional pieces, followed by his steel drumming with vocals for the cocktail hour and through dinner service; he played absolutely beautifully (this guy’s singing voice is gorgeous by the way). Then he got the party started by introducing me, my husband, and our wedding party into the reception and DJ-ed the rest of the night with all our favorite songs. I was completely thrilled – yet not surprised – that my dance floor was packed at all time with guests. From the very beginning and at every turn of the evening, guests were approaching me and telling me how impressed they were with Mello throughout the ceremony and reception. I was so grateful that Mello was not just my musical performer for the evening, but that he was my volunteered time-keeper and host. He ensured that we had at least 2 phone calls together so that he could review every single detail of the wedding in the few weeks before – this was so critical and we both we extra prepared because of it. During the wedding, he was face of the party and he came to me and my husband about 5-10 minutes prior to each scheduled event to check-in and remind us – as we had discussed (father of the bride toasts, parent dances, best man/maid of honor speeches, cake-cutting, garter/bouquet tosses, etc). This made my life so easy! Plus when a couple things went wrong (like dinner service being delayed), Mello instantly calmed my nerves and assured me that it was all good and we would work around it! This professional knows how to play steel drums, how to sing, how to DJ, how to host a party, how weddings work, how to be flexible, and how to talk to a bride and groom on their big day! I cannot express enough how great my wedding was as a contribution of Mello, he has my highest recommendation! Thank you for everything Mello!

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!!!!

Mellow was amazing! He was a great steel drummer, an amazing reggae musician, and a great DJ! I would definatley refer mellow to anyone who is having a wedding or special event! He made my wedding that much more special... He was great at getting the crowd to be involved and at keeping everyone in a fun dancing mood. Everyone kept asking me "Where did you find this guy? Hes great! I love him!" And if you are on a budget, he is a GREAT one man show!!! Thanks Mellow!

Mello Vibes performed for my wedding reception on November 1, 2008 and we could not have been happier! We were debating between two different performers and we are SOO glad we chose Mello! He was so much fun and our guests really enjoyed him! Everything ran smoothly and he did an awesome job! I would highly recommend him! Thanks again for a job well done!
-Ashley W, Wedding, Sarasota, FL
Mello was absolutely awesome!! He was very professional, accomodating, and helpful at our wedding. He was a super nice guy and really added something special to the occasion. And best of all, his music was great too! Thanks very much Mello!
-Aaron H, Wedding, New Smyrna Beach, FL
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, Wedding, Key Largo, FL
I had a destination wedding from Indiana to Dunedin, Florida. The only chance I had to listen to Mello's music was over the internet. I only spoke to him 2 times over the phone before the wedding. All my nerves were gone as soon as I saw him on the beach ready to perform before the ceremony. He did an amazing job! He also performed during the reception on the beach at Honeymoon Island. He had all my friends up dancing for several hours. Everyone was excited to hear something different than the traditional DJ. I would suggest him to anyone. Thanks Mello! You were awesome!
