Community Event•Reviewed on August 30, 2024•From Gladwyne, PA
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Kristian Paradis, a steel drum player, for an event. I was very pleased with his professionalism. He arrived on time and was ready to go. He played a variety of songs and interacted with the audience. He was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to hiring him again.

Kristian Paradis was awesome!! He came early and beat the traffic - we had customers commenting to the door girl and floor manager about the great entertainment was. Normally, those compliments are resolved only for the exotic dancers, but at our Bikini Party, Kristian's steel drums did much to convert the feel of our Manhattan location into a tropical island.
Luau Party•Reviewed on August 20, 2009•From Warminster, PA
Kristian played for our restaurant's annual end of summer pig roast luau event which draws about 100-150 people. His music and abilities set the atmosphere for a wonderful evening. Our staff and guests all said what a great great evening that they had with Kristian. Kristian was easy to work with, played requests, and some of our guests asked for his contact info for their own events. We will definitely have Kristian back future events.

Kristian Paradis was AWESOME!! We went for a beach theme wedding a week ago and he just added to the excitement of the day! I am still getting calls on how great he was! In fact, people want lessons :) I would recommend Kristian to ANYONE who wants the mood of their wedding to be relaxing and enjoyable for their guests!
THANKS FOR HELPING TO MAKE OUR DAY UNFORGETTABLE!

Kristian is a very talented steel drum musician. Our Caribbean-themed party was a huge hit with all our guests. Many said Kristian made them think about the beach, Caribbean and cruizing on a ship. We had a really great time listening and dancing to his music!!! I have already recommended him to many others!!!! Thanks Kristian!!
Picnic•Reviewed on July 29, 2009•From Sicklerville, NJ
It was a delight having Kristian there at our BBQ, we couldn't not have asked for more. Our guest loved the music and have already asked/suggested we have him back. This may well turn into an annual event and of course we would want Kristian to be back again.

Everything I read about him from his previous clients was all true.
He was professional, kind, sharing, talented and accomodating to his audience of 120 plus people. I, personally, enjoyed my evening with him very much.
My outdoor picnic was definitely topped off and excelled by having him here to play his lovely, exciting music.
Corporate Function•Reviewed on March 30, 2009•From Feasterville Trevose, PA
May I say that Kristian's performance at a company event was beyond expectations. Kristian delivered his performance and entertained our company employees to the highest expectations. We were pleased of his overall performance, execution with the Steel Pan's and professionalism. Kristian is very likable and we cannot wait to bring him back to our company to give us yet another satisfying event. I would extremely recommend Kristian to a friend and also at any business function, or personal function, because I am CONFIDENT, that you will be satisfied. Enjoy!
Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 14, 2009•From Breinigsville, PA
Our experience with Kristian was wonderful! He came to our house in the middle of a driving rain storm- for an outside event! Luckily we had set up a covered area for him. He wasn't affected by the weather at all. He set up his equipment and as soon as he started playing, the rain stopped and the sun came out! His music was great and I got so many complements related to how beautiful and relaxing it was. Many thought they were on a tropical island (minus the beach!) I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone's event. It was a great experience from beginning to end!
Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on April 20, 2009•From Brigantine, NJ
Kristian played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was talented, professional and an absolute pleasure. The guests raved about him. He played a huge part in making our day special and we would recommend him to anyone.

Great dealing with Kristian -- very professional, likable, great sound and process. I would HIGHLY recomend him to anyone needing a Steel Band performance -- everyone wanted his card at the end of the evening and greatly enjoyed the evening -- I cannot say enough about how good he truly was.
Celebration•Reviewed on January 24, 2009•From Bryn Mawr, PA
Kristian was AMAZING!!!! Besides being incredibly talented on his instrument, he was also wonderful with our guests - he played a great mix of music that appealed to my parents and their friends (in their 80s!), my college age kids, and even the young children in the crowd, and he had everybody dancing the whole time... Even before the party, he was an absolute pleasure to work with - He answered all of my questions promptly by e-mail, and even gave me some party throwing advice that really made this the most fun celebration I've ever been a part of. I am already discussing my next party with Kris, and I expect that I'll see him at my friends' parties too! A+++

The steel drums were a suprise for my grandparents and were a hit for all. During Hurrican Hanna, with the dark clouds and winds, Kristian's music made me think that I was outside dancing on a tropical island, and it was perfect!
