Jay was terrific. He arrived early and was fully set up an hour before event started. He even helped me set up decorations, just a super nice and helpful guy. Guests loved the music, and he also did a great job emceeing the event. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for live music with a island or Margaritaville theme.

This band provided the perfect music for my Margaritaville themed Birthday party. They are fabulous musicians and I received a lot of compliments from my guests. They played at the perfect volume where guests could enjoy the music, yet still have a conversation. The live music provided just the ambiance and vibe I was looking for. Despite the weather challenges, I couldn't have been more pleased with their performance. They were on time, lots of great communication beforehand, personable and they were a big hit with the guests! Five Stars!!!

Testimonials
Dear Panjive,
From our very first contact with you through our wedding day, you were responsive, professional and friendly. Planning a wedding is an extremely stressful process, but from the day we spoke, never once did we worry about our wedding reception music. You exceeded our expectations and we are truly appreciative. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to give us a dream reception. Dancing away the night to steel drums was everything we have ever wished for, a pure reflection of our style. We will enthusiastically recommend you to anyone looking to make their dream wedding a reality. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Michael and Robyn (8/27/06)
Dear Eva,
On behalf of Dole, we wanted to thank Panjive for the wonderful music they provided during Dole’s 6/21 event. The Steel Drums set the tone for the tropical cocktail party and helped everyone relax into the evening. The band members were very courteous and professional, and very easy to work with. Thank you again for your services and hopefully we will have a chance to work with you again soon!
Regards,
Erin Barrier for Dole
