Hello all,

 

We are getting married in T/C and I am in the process of booking music. We would like a steel drum player for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Does anyone recommend a great steel player?

 

Also do you recommend a DJ ? Any feedback on Subtronic Sound DJ's?

 

We are very laid back, just looking for some simple nightlife and nice atmosphere.

 

Any insight.. both good or bad would be great!

 

Thank you!

There is really only one steel drum band on island which is Provo Primary School's Senior Steel Drum Band.  (my daughter plays in it).  We've never seen another band at any other events.  They will play weddings (and have been playing at some private parties on island this month), but it depends if it's during school breaks as many will be off island during those times.  You can contact the principal of the school (principal@provoprimary.com) if you want to find out if it's possible for your date and the costs.  I don't know what they charge, but it goes towards the maintenance of the drums which is really expensive so they try to fundraise for it.    Here they are playing Wipeout at the fools regatta this year

(they do know slower romantic numbers as well, we should have some new video up after this weekend when they perform at the Friends of the arts christmas concert)

 

 

A number of brides here have commented on DJ's here, you may want to do a search for DJ and Turks and Caicos or music and Turks and Caicos, I remember quite a few threads have been here on the subject and brides have given reports after their weddings.

 

Hope that helps

I was just married at Beaches Turks and Caicos on Dec 5th, 11.  We had a steel pan drummer for a one hour cocktail reception directly after the ceremony.  I organized this directly with the wedding coordinator at the resort.  I asked about having the drummer play for the ceremony but they said I could only have one or the other.  So, I ended up with Canon in D for walking down the isle and we had an IPOD playing Beyond the Sea for the way back down the isle.  It was perfect and the steel pan drummer was awesome!  It wasn't a band, it was just one guy and he was great!!!

I just want to clarify, the Beaches steel pan drummer is employed by Beaches and only available for Beaches weddings.  They have their own coordinators/photographers and entertainment at that resort.  There is no one I know of outside of Beaches that is a single steel pan player that would be available for events.  But I will continue to ask around to see if that has changed.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
