Review by Missy O.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 27, 2022•From Raynham, MA

We hired Jose "Panman" Costa for a campus-wide event for our organization, Johnson & Johnson in Raynham, Massachusetts. Our event was themed, Journey to the Caribbean and Jose's steel drum music was the special piece needed for our event. He was truly amazing! His music filled the halls and room at our event. Everyone LOVED listening to his music. He is very talented and was a pleasure to work with. He will DEFINITELY be kept on our list of vendors for future events!

Thankyou

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 31, 2020•From Hampton, NH

We hired Jose for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary party. He loves what he does, and we were so happy we hired him. Everyone loved his music. We consulted a few times before the party to be sure he figured out how to best play for his audience. While I had some doubts about having just steel drums for our four-hour event, he was the absolute perfect accompaniment. At our intimate gathering of 25, his music blended in beautifully, and he never made himself the center of attention, although his music was. It was just the vibe I was looking for. He's immersed in his music when he plays, and a pleasure to listen to.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 1, 2016•From North Grosvenordale, CT

Jose arrived promptly for our party. He set up before the party and broke down after his performance both quickly and quietly. He worked well with our other performers. He was well prepared and very professional. He is a true artist. Our guests absolutely loved his musical performance. We received many compliments on his performance and we all had a great time. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and I give him my highest recommendation. Thanks Jose!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 12, 2019•From Cranston, RI

Jose Panman Costa is a professional entertainer in every respect. He played beautiful steel drum music throughout the evening which captured the spirit of the celebration. Jose surveyed the venue before hand and showed-up early to be sure he was ready when the first guest arrived and stayed beyond the contracted time. We were blown away the next day when he text us photos capturing the evening. Highly recommend Panman to everyone who wants top notch steel drum music!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 22, 2014•From Scituate, MA

I am so happy that I booked Jose Costa for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was the perfect finishing touch to a waterside venue. Jose was very accomodating to us. Our ceremony was delayed due to traffic and he gave us additional time over the 2 hours we had booked. His music was loved by everyone there young and old. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him!

Private Party•Reviewed on August 23, 2013•From Newport, RI

Jose was absolutely wonderful. He gave my wedding welcome party an absolute feeling of being on the docks in the Caribbean. He was excellent and even played a special version of happy birthday for one of my bridesmaids at my (last minute) request.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on June 3, 2013•From Marion, MA

What can I say, but I LOVE Jose!! Who wants boring cello or organ music when you can have a steel drum band?!? He played for both our ceremony and cocktail hour and set such a fun vibe to kick off the evening that it was truly the best night of my life!!! Everyone keeps telling me that it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to and Jose helped create that atmosphere!! My now mother-in-law said to me that she thought she was going to cry, but the steel drums just put everyone in such a good mood that it just made her so happy, so instead of tears she grinned from ear to ear the whole night!! I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding...thank you!!!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on March 4, 2013•From Providence, RI

We hired Jose Costa to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour at our destination wedding in San Juan, PR where he stays during the winter months. He was very easy to work with through e-mail as we made all our plans from Pennsylvania. Whenever we had a question he was quick to respond. His performance during both the ceremony and cocktail hour was great and met all our expectations. We would highly recommend him to anyone considering a destination wedding the Rincon, PR area.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 22, 2013•From East Haven, CT

Awesome! We got Jose for the ceremony and cocktail hour of our beach wedding and he made the atmosphere of the cocktail hour feel like a tropical island. He was set up on time and did great during the ceremony, even though we gave him almost no direction. Then he did his thing during cocktail hour and everyone loved it. Got a ton of guests who mentioned how unique it was and how awesome Jose did. Easy to coordinate with. I'd give him 6 stars if I could.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 29, 2013•From Cohasset, MA

We thoroughly enjoyed his music, his demeanor and his professionalism. He was there a full hour before performance; he was very professional in his set-up; and he was a joy to hear. This was a party that required him to be in the background and he did his job exactly as he observed it. I would recommend him without hesitation and would be delighted to have him play again for us.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 29, 2013•From Wilmington, MA

Words cannot express how happy I was with Jose Costa. He performed at an adult birthday party a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it so much we have requested him for another party this summer. Not only was he extremely talented but he was very friendly and personable. My family and friends were very impressed with Jose and raved over how much they enjoyed the music. I would highly recommend Jose to anyone looking for musical talent for their party. Thank you Jose for helping me make the party a success!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 17, 2010•From Boothbay, ME

Jose was a pleasure to work with..he was totally responsible, arriving in good time to set up and following through on our emails and phone conversations to do exactly what we had discussed. I appreciated this as I was quite busy with other aspects of the wedding and he arrived ready to perform. The cocktail reception was particularly lively and his music set a fabulous tone to the event...BRAVO!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 1, 2010•From Bridgeport, CT

I had a small birthday party for my son. Jose was very accommodating, considering the rain and how far he had to travel. His music brought life to the party. His drums will take you to a place in your mind where you can relax, dance, feel joy, and realize how good he really is.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 27, 2010•From Sharon, MA

Jose was great! A true professional and an extremely talented musician. His music set the perfect tone for a Birthday clambake. All of my 60 guests commented on how great Jose is. Many asked about him for their own upcoming events. He truly is the whole package and I can't say enough about his professionalism. He was a pleasure to watch perform and picked up on the vibe of the day providing us with a constant variety of steel drum and acoustic pleasure! I highly recommend him!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on November 8, 2010•From Providence, RI

Jose played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and his music was exactly what we were looking for! The island- sound was lively, he was setup well in advance of our event, was very professional, dressed appropriately, and my guests loved his music. If you are looking for a steel drummer he is a fantastic performer.
