Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 28, 2021From Brandon, FL

Did a great job playing my requested John Mayer song “XO” down the aisle with one week notice. Provided a great vibe to cocktail hour. Would book again!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 11, 2021From Anna Maria, FL

Let me start off by say Harold arrived an hour before the event to set up which was awesome. He is extremely talented. His selection of music was great and all the guest at our party really enjoyed themselves. I would definitely recommend him for any event. Five stars across the board.

Graduation PartyReviewed on June 2, 2019From Saint Petersburg, FL

Harold arrived early and was very prepared with equipment, extra extension cords, etc. He was also very flexible with his location and such - it was a super hot day outside and he did not even flinch! He added a great vibe to the party and had good vocals. I saw many people approach him to compliment him as well. Highly recommend!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on December 9, 2018From Bonita Springs, FL

5-STARS WELL DESERVED! Harold and his band mate played onstage during Happy Hour of our annual corporate event hosting nearly 300 guests. He communicated great with me prior to the event, coordinated with the venue media staff and arrived in plenty of time for setup. The performance was perfect for our Havana Nights themed event and we received many positive remarks from guests. Harold would be great for background music as we did, or as a headliner at any event! I highly recommend Harold Antione!

WeddingReviewed on September 25, 2018From Longboat Key, FL

Harold is a professional all the way. He follows through the entire process. WIth you until the very end we had someblocked Roads due to an accident and he called and advised as to how he could work around it. He is a fabulous musician and exactly what we requested. Thank you Harold.

Harold did an awesome job. He performed a couple of special requests given in advance by my daughter and we were very pleased. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Private PartyReviewed on April 8, 2016From Tampa, FL

Thank god we chose Harold for our event! The beautiful steel drum background music was absolutely perfect for our event and still allowed our guests to carry on conversations etc. He was so nice, accommodating, and talented. He was very professional and it is obvious this is his career, not a side-job in that he takes each opportunity very seriously. We had a little communication delay before the event that made me nervous initially, but as soon as I realized he was better to reach by phone than by email/text, it was flawless and I had no doubts he would be there for our party.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on April 3, 2016From Indian Rocks Beach, FL

I was a little disappointed that weather even though windy and overcast radar showed no lighting and it wasnt raining at time of start 5:15 He refused to bring out steel drum, quoting how many people get struck by lighting every year when told there is no lighting he said he couldnt risk his life. He played from an ipad then had no prelude music was suppose to start at 5:15 he wasnt fully setup until 5:30 we got music but was not loud enough to hear had no speaker, It wasnt the right version we wanted for our song to walk down the aisle, needless to say this threw off our wedding ceremony and was disappointed. I could have pushed the button on my ipad for 250.00

:

I am not sure why someone would leave such a dishonest review. On April 2, 2016 the weather in Tampa Bay was severe thunderstorms, heavy rains, and 30 mph wind gusts. When I arrived an hour before the ceremony, it was raining and the clouds were rumbling (active lightning strikes). At 5:15, the rain stopped and clouds were still very dark and rumbling over head. I did not feel safe setting up steel drums. I can understand someone not from Florida underestimating the extremely dangerous nature of lightning. I offered to play prerecorded music on a covered powerless PA if the rain stopped, which I did. Lightning is very dangerous and kills without warning!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on January 12, 2016From Saint Petersburg, FL

All I can say is WOW what a professional. My beach wedding was rained out last week-end. Mr. Harold was very flexible and worked with us to move to plan B without complaint. My guest and groom truly enjoyed the music...All my stress melted away when I was finally able to walk down the aisle with the wonderful steel drum music playing!

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on December 26, 2013From Naples, FL

Harold was early to the event and was all setup and ready by the time we arrived to the dinner. He knew the resort well and had played there lots of times, so was very helpful. The event was beautiful and all my guests loved the steel drums! The only thing is he would like to be paid in cash. He was very professional and definitely would use him again! Thanks!

Corporate FunctionReviewed on May 1, 2013From Islamorada, FL

Harold was very professional and a talented steel drum player. He was a perect addition to our company function, and we received lots of compliments on his music. I will use Harold for many more functions in the future, I highly recommend him.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on April 18, 2013From Sanibel, FL

Harold played for our wedding on April 13th at Casa Ybel Resort on Sanibel Island, FL. No words could bring this man or his talent justice. He was on time, played my 1 requested song perfectly (even took the time to learn it!), asked if we had any other special requests, even accomodated our guests. Simply the best! Hire him TODAY! Thanks to Harold for adding to our special day!

Cocktail PartyReviewed on November 16, 2012From Fort Myers, FL

We booked Harold to play at a Welcome to Florida happy hour we hosted the evening before our wedding. Harold wasn't able to perform, but sent a substitute (his son, I think) and he was absolutely wonderful - handsome, fun and very talented. The music was fantastic and made our party so memorable. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!

WeddingReviewed on October 17, 2012From Fort Myers Beach, FL

Antoine is a very talented musician who provided a wonderful beach atmosphere to our wedding. He arrived well ahead of the scheduled time, performed in three locations, and extend the hours of play by request. I highly recommend him.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 11, 2012From Sanibel, FL

Harold was difficult to get a hold of leading up to the event. The day of, he showed up just 15 minutes prior to the start, even though he said he would be there an hour early. He requested a tent when he arrived even though he did not mention it earlier in the week when we spoke with him. That being said, his music was wonderful and added the much needed island feel to our wedding. All the guests loved his music and he performed exactly what we requested for our ceremony. I would recommend Harold, however, get in touch early!! :)
