Review by Venie L.

Graduation PartyReviewed on June 1, 2024From Newtown Square, PA

There's a reason for the low marks. The entertainer took ill and that's understandable. He found a last minute replacement but did not perform as expected. Nice enough guy but did not engage the crowd and did not really have any showmanship. I would have been better off with a soft background music for the cocktail hour. I paid top dollars for the entertainment and did not get close to what I expected. Hindsight, I wish I was told the replacement entertainer was not at his level and that I was given the option of being offered my money back. That would have been fair I think.

Caribbean Authentics/Steeldrum w/Vocals:

I am very sorry for your disappointment, however, when I informed you of my illness at the 11th hour. I offered a replacement at that point, you did not pay anything, not even a deposit. You had an opportunity to decline. You didn't. Artists are not the same.

We hired Raymond Charles Band for my husbands 50th we had a Caribbean theme! I cannot begin to tell you how amazing Raymond was!!! He came 1.5 hours prior to set up and make sure all the speakers everything was working. He had so many amazing fun dancing as well as background songs!!! He is so personable and a kind soul. His voice is magical! This may sound l exaggerated but it’s not! He really Made the party! My friends are still talking about him and plan to hire him for their next party!!!! I give you 100 % confidence to go with him!!!! It was the best choice I made! His steel drums and his voice is amazing !!! Thank you Raymond for making the party perfect !
