Bob an Pan Loco were a pleasure to work with. Incredibly professional, responsive (even during the Celtics championship run!) and overall super user friendly. They helped make our special day that much more special. We would recommend Pan Loco to anyone.

If you are looking for a way to add a fun tropical vibe to your event, look no further. Bob was amazing to work with and our guests loved dancing to the steel drum music! We will definitely be having Pan Loco at future events. Thank you so much Bob for bringing the Caribbean sunshine to our rainy wedding day!

Bob and Justin immediately put us at ease, interacting easily with the audience--both children and adults. We were also impressed with their skill of playing different musical styles. The audience enjoyed the event so much that they didn't want to leave!

Pan Loco performed during the cocktail hour of a wedding reception we hosted in our backyard. Pan Loco provided the perfect vibe for this late afternoon summer party. I highly recommend.

I can't say enough about Pan Loco! I've always loved the romantic, tropical vibe that steel drums provide, so when my husband and I were planning our beach wedding, I searched for a local steel drum band that could play music for the wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and found Pan Loco. They were able to accommodate all our needs, were responsive, and easy to work with. The music provided exactly the atmosphere we were looking for, with a great variety of songs. They were even able to play our requests! I would definitely recommend Pan Loco, and would hire them again in a heartbeat, maybe for our 10th anniversary!
