Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on June 22, 2024•From Red Bank, NJ

Koka was excellent! We and our guests loved hearing his talented music and added great ambiance to our event.

Community Event•Reviewed on September 14, 2023•From Morristown, NJ

Koka Philips played at our community Caribbean-themed party, and everyone loved them! Gary and Tom arrived and set up on time. They accommodated our music requests and coordinated their playing schedule to our food service timing. They even played the "limbo song" when the kids wanted to dance under a limbo pole (while the parents took photos). Many guests commented how much they enjoyed them, so I am sure that we will hire them again in the future.

Koka Phillips was a smash at our event last night. Their harmonies are amazing. They are the quintessential '70s Jersey Shore band - so many great songs that not only our guests by passer-by's on the boardwalk stopped to listen and sign along ... wow - remember Brandy - she's a fine girl. I've already recommended them to a friend who books for her private social club. Professional and really pleasant to work with.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 13, 2022•From Belmar, NJ

Gary and Tom were simply awesome, excellent musicians/singer - they kept the vibe of the party going all day. I am getting tons of comments from my guests regarding how much they loved the band. Having a band of this caliber at your event will take it to the next level.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 25, 2021•From Smithtown, NY

Koka Philips performed at my parents 60th birthday party and we were blown away! They arrived early, set up quickly with minimal needs (1 electric plug), a pleasure to communicate with and made an extra effort to perform a special song for my parents last minute. The music was incredible, the combination of the steel drum, guitar and vocals brought the perfect tropical vibe. I highly recommend and I am looking forward to hosting more events so I am able to work with the band again!

Celebration•Reviewed on July 30, 2019•From Collegeville, PA

I hired Koka Philips for our son's graduation party. They were a huge hit! Their variety of music and great vocals were just the right fit for our guests. They invited our son to play the steel drum during one of their numbers. He was thrilled! They accepted song requests and interacted well with all guests. I would highly recommend Tom and Gary for any event. They were true gentlemen and highly professional!

Tom was amazing! He recommended songs that were perfect for my wedding ceremony. I received countless compliments from my guests on having a steel drum player. Thank you Tom, having you play at our wedding ceremony added that special touch we were looking for.

5 stars aren't enough! We used Koka Philips as our ceremony and cocktail hour music and our guests were floored by their abilities. They sounded unbelievable and really set the tone for the event. I would absolutely use Koka Philips again!
