Beautiful and fun

Desmond came and was professional and kind. He set up quickly and got the music going for our family party, and the performance amplified the fun and energy of the party without overtaking it. We all really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Desmond turned up on time, professional.

We had him come for mellow music for a bunch of college students returning back to various colleges. It was great and we enjoyed him.

Perfect for our venue and event!

Desmond was wonderful, he arrived early to set up and entertained our guests during cocktail hour before dinner. The sounds of the steel drums were delightful and was the perfect match for our beachside fundraiser!

We hired Desmond for a party at our home. I was a harried hostess and he set up and started playing with ease. The festive music added to the ambiance. Affable and professional, he would be a great addition to any event.

July 4th House Party

Mr. Bedlow provided a lovely musical experience for our party. We appreciated everything about him. He arrived 1.5 hours before guests to set up and ensure everything went smoothly. His music had a full sound back drop with an island vibe, good for listening and dancing. It would be an honor to have him return.

Selection of music and the professionalism of a true artist!

Mr. Bedlow provided a really good selection of music for our event, which was a traditional, Guyanese Breakfast, billed as a fundraiser. His playing was vibrant and was a perfect backdrop to the Caribbean atmosphere we wanted to create. His range of Soca, Reggae, Salsa was excellent. He even added a Caribean flavor to his Pop music selections. There is no question that our Organization would request his presence at any future event of ours. Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Bedlow!!!!

Response from Desmond Bedlow.:

When you hired a musician. One thing people must realize is to hired a musician that perform the music you wants to hear at your event. Don't hire a caribbean musician and ask him or her to perform Mexican Or Chinese music. My client did not ask me to perform music from mexico or Chine But there request were along those lines. . Hire the music you want. Many blessings everyone.
