I can’t thank you enough for the awesome performance. I truly appreciate everything . . . we’ve gotten so many compliments on how the music was the most perfect touch for the ceremony. Please let the other members of the band know how appreciative we are and let them know that they did an awesome job.

The band was wonderful. The band members are so nice and all our guests enjoyed the selection of music. My son said it was the best party ever and loved the music. It was so nice to drive up after graduation and to see the band set up and ready to play. I was so glad I did not have to worry about anything. Your band members looked so professional with matching shirts and truly gave us their all. We look forward to having you for another event and will highly recommend One Love Caribbean Steel Drum Band. Thank you for the wonderful graduation memories.

“The music was great and ALL our guests really enjoyed the band; they kept asking how I found a steel band in VA Beach. Two hours really set the tone of the evening, and the quality of the music was certainly worth the price. Again, I loved the sound; I’ll clearly recommend One Love in the future.

The band was fantastic. Really made the party. They set up early and got right to it. Thank the drummers for me.

Alicia Riley

“The sounds of the drums were beautiful. The steel drums made the party. I felt like I was in the islands. The ladies came right on time. They played songs that everyone knew. I now know who to call when I need steel drummers for an event. Thank you very much. 

Milly Wassum

Everything was just fine. The band members were very pleasant and played well all evening. They were a good addition to our theme and everyone enjoyed them.

We love the band, the music is excellent. I am glad to do a testimonial. Please feel free to call and stop by any time you are on the Outer Banks.

You guys did a wonderful job! I tell everyone that the band was my favorite part of the wedding. Everyone said they just enjoyed listening to the music and a few asked me if you sold CD’s. Also someone told me that people from the other wedding were coming over to listen to you guys. One Love is a great band and my favorite part of my wedding! Your performance at our wedding left an everlasting memory on me and my husband and for everyone that attended. I wish I would of booked you guys for the entire wedding not just the ceremony. 

Monica Malone

I am not only pleased, but impressed with One Love Steel Drum Band! What a talented group of musicians! Everyone at the wedding had nothing but wonderful things to say about you all. I feel your music and enthusiasm made our beach wedding that much more special. It was an element of the day that will NEVER be forgotten. I noticed you will be laying on the 31st stage at the oceanfront a few times this summer. We will be sure to come over. Thanks again for all your hard work and making my special day so enjoyable!!!

Awaits!

Stay in touch:

DANCE FREE!

Let the rhythm move you — no steps required. 

When the steel drums start, don’t hold back — let the rhythm take over. From reggae to calypso, it’s all about the groove. You don’t need perfect steps, just the joy of moving with the music and being part of the moment


Smile Big!

Steel drums sound better with joy. 

Island music was made for happiness, and nothing shines brighter than your smile. The band plays with heart, and when you smile back, the whole vibe lifts. Joy is contagious — and your smile is the spark that spreads it.

FEEL IRIE!

Good vibes only. 

“Irie” means everything’s good, everything’s right. That’s the magic of One Love: music that washes stress away and leaves you with nothing but good vibes. Take a breath, feel the beat, and let the island rhythm carry you. 🌴
