Caladesi Steel Band – Steel Drum Band in Tampa Bay, Florida

Dave was absolutely amazing during our cocktail hour! He created the perfect atmosphere and added such a fun, tropical vibe that our wedding guests loved. He is professional, talented, and great to work with — highly recommend for any event!

Caladessi was the cherry on top of our Welcome Party! The steel drum band was beyond talented and created the perfect vibe to welcome our guests to Sarasota. Their music added so much joy and energy—we’re still getting compliments about it! Their team was fantastic to work with! Super organized, kind, and brought such great energy to the event.

I hired Dave to play at the welcome party for my son's wedding weekend. His music set the vibe for the entire party experience! Almost all of the guests came from out of town and really appreciated the steel drum experience. Also, the event space didn't have a sound system we could use and Dave was so accommodating; coming to the event early so we could use his microphone and speaker during the rehearsal dinner beforehand. If you are planning an event and want to set the tone with a coastal/island vibe, hire Caladesi Steel Band!

I hired a Duo from Caladesi Steel Band to play during the cocktail hour for my beach wedding on 6/24/24. I could not be any happier with their performance! Dave was professional, and easy to work with. I highly recommend them if you are planning any event on or near a beach or just wanting that Carribean beach vibe!

The Caladesi Steel Band was a huge hit for our corporate event! Dave was extremely responsive from booking all the way through to the day of the event. Their professionalism and experience made the day of the event a breeze, as they knew how to navigate the event space, coordinate with site staff when needed, etc.... And of course, the music was awesome! I would highly recommend Caladesi-- real pros who can give you peace of mind in the chaos of planning an event!

We LOVED having Caladesi Steel Band for our wedding ceremony! My husband's top request was steel drums and the trio we got was a stunning background for our beachside wedding! I had a special request for a Taylor Swift song to walk down the aisle to and Dave said "no problem" right away and made it happen. We ended up having to move our ceremony indoors day-of due to weather and I can't imagine the space being the same without their music setting the tone. They also played throughout our cocktail hour and provided incredible ambiance. My only wish would be that we could have spent more time at our cocktail hour enjoying the wonderful music! If you're considering a steel drum band for any occasion, book with Caladesi and enjoy!

Johnny did a great job playing for our association party. Master steel drum player! He had great communication during booking, on time and very polite. Highly recommend

The Caladesi Steel Band is awesome! They played at my engagement party, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour! They were professional, communicated well, and make my events unique and memorable! Highly recommend!

AMI Beach Weddings recently had the privilege of coordinating a wedding ceremony featuring the talented Caladesi Steel Band. Their outstanding musical performance added the perfect touch of liveliness to the day. We were particularly impressed by Dave, an exceptional musician. The wedding music was beautifully played and truly elevated the atmosphere. We highly recommend Caladesi Steel Band for any special occasion and thank them for contributing to a memorable day.

Dave played wonderful music at our daughter’s wedding ceremony and cocktail hour last week. We received great feedback from our guests and our daughter was very happy. We would highly recommend him
