Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 1, 2010•From Freehold, NJ

I had 70 people at a backyard pool party/ BBQ and hired KOKA. Both gentlemen were timely, professional, kind and extremely talented. KOKA is the PERFECT casual vibe that makes you feel as if you are at a beach bar in 'Margaritaville'. Thank you so much to the band, and Pam who was responsive and thorough.

KOKA was amazing!! From the first time I attempted to contact Pam the line of communication was open and easy. KOKA was able to accommodate all of our song requests and made our wedding an absolute blast. Guests loved their sound and gave endless compliments. THANK YOU KOKA!!!!!!!!!

Tom played steel drum for our beach wedding, which was moved inside to the condo. Tom was very professional, discussing the event in detail with me a week before and making sure to communicate with me about the change in venue due to the weather. He was outstanding and really set the mood for my wedding ceremony. Thank you very much for making my day that much more special.

Russ and I could not be happier with KOKA! Tom did an amazing job and the melody of the steel drums completed our beach wedding! Professional and helpful right from the start! Tom is very talented on the drums! Look no further then KOKA if you want great talent who really enjoy what they do! Thank you so much for helping make our day perfect!

Tom (Kona) was amazing. He was accommodating when his performance needed to be moved indoors and my guests are still raving about him! I would definitely hire him for another event!

Private Party•Reviewed on July 5, 2019•From Toms River, NJ

I really expected more of a steel band selection of songs. They were very good but played general selection of songs. I should have been more specific about the selection.(lesson learned)Tom the drummer was very professional and nice. I ask them if they would stay an extra hour I was told his partner had to get to another gig that afternoon. I kinda felt we were just another in an out gig.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 19, 2017•From Beach Haven, NJ

Koka arrived early so they could set up. Bride was 45 minutes late but Tom kept playing and the ceremony went off without a hitch! Tom stayed well past the time contracted as he knew the cocktail hour was still in progress. He was very accommodating and very professional! I would recommend Koka to anyone! Thanks for making my niece's wedding the most precious day of her life!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 19, 2017•From Cape May, NJ

Worked with Tom from KOKA through the process and he was great. When they came for the wedding it was absolutely perfect! I have received so many compliments on the music they played for both the ceremony and cocktail hour from not only guests of the wedding but also guests at the hotel. I was so sad when cocktail hour was over. I hope to be able to hear them play again. Just fabulous!

Bridal Shower•Reviewed on June 28, 2015•From Cranford, NJ

Koka was amazing! Tom and Gary provided the entertainment at our backyard bridal shower. Although it rained all afternoon, they kept on entertaining all of the guests. They played all of our requests which covered a variety of genres. I would highly recommend Koka for any event! They truly made the party and I look forward to seeing them again soon!

KOKA was beyond awesome! They elevated our party from just a boring outdoor/tropical baby shower to something so special & memorable for my sister. We received nonstop compliments on having them there. Truly plan to use them for every party now cause we want everyone to ooh & aah over all our parties : )
