September 28, 2011We hired this band to perform at a private party and couldn't be happier. The music was great - we loved the authenticity of the Caribbean music and the steel drums! The whole night was a great success and we believe that this music just made it all happen. I can't say enough good things about them but I look forward to our next event & when we can hire them again!

June 29, 2010Loved this band! We hired a trio for a private party and just had the best time! Our guests wanted to know where we found them...I'm sure they handed out a lot of cards!!! They played a nice variety of music to suit the mood. We are looking forward to our next event at Christmas - I understand they also play Christmas music...Caribbean Style! We can't wait!!

March 30, 2010Great Caribbean Band! I saw them in concert in Los Angeles in October. Loved the authentic Caribbean music, something I'm mentioning because of some of the other bands I've seen around town! Their photo here doesn't reflect the band that I saw really - the band that I saw had variety of instruments and vocals along with steel drums. Would love to see them again.

March 6, 2010We hired this band for just about everything: wedding ceremony, cocktails & reception. They were very professional - had great suggestions on how to make everything go smoothly, their experience was to my benefit! The music was perfect! We've been to the Caribbean quite a bit and appreciated the authenticity that this band brought - the reggae, soca, calypso and steel drums. They even played a "special" song for the wedding that we requested, which just amazing! Rating between 0 to 5, I personally give them a 10!

Thank you for making our day so special! If you need any referrals or references from me, let me know. I'd be happy to sing your praises! Kind regards,

Wendy, I never got around to thanking you for the perfect arrangements for my 50th party here in Westlake Village on June 16th. The band was great and it contributed to a fabulous evening for me. I hope that it will lead to more bookings for you guys. Regards,

Dear Wendy, Thank you so much for a wonderful performance at our Christmas party last night. When I was planning the party I was looking for something special, but this far surpassed my expectations! It was exactly right with the traditional pan songs along with the Christmas music. Our guests enjoyed the party so much and we know a large part of it was due to your music. Thanks again and have a wonderful holiday.
– Ellen Martin
Just wanted to tell you that the guys did a GREAT job. Everyone loved them. They were on time (early actually), professional, fun and we loved them. Thanks for your help in setting everything up. We will definitely use them again and I gave their info to several people who asked.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank you guys for your wonderful performance at our reception. We very much appreciated your flexibility with song selection and your willingness to share the stage with another performer. People are still talking about how great you were. Your music was the key ingredient in creating the reception we wanted. You guys sounded incredible and we saw people dance that we had never seen dance before! The coordinators at the Catalina Room were also very impressed and we hope that that turns into future business for you. Thanks again and if we could be of any assistance to you in the future (as a reference) please let me know. We look forward to hearing Pan-A-Cea perform again in the future.

JR & Wendy, Loved the music; very easy to listen to and liven up a party. Many of our party guests were very pleased and asked us where we "found" the musicians. Really added to the theme of the tropical evening!
– Rhonda Smith
JR & Wendy, Wanted to thank you again for making such a difference in our Celebration. Many people asked about you and said they would love to have you at their own parties. You chose songs that everybody could enjoyed and played a wonderful variety. Hope to have you again soon!!! You're really great people.

Hi Wendy & JR, Just a note to thank you very much for making our wedding reception on the 8th so much fun. We just returned from our trip up north and everyone is still talking about you and the great Jimmy Buffet sounds. You two are fabulous. Everyone said it was the best party they had been to in years. My boss' wife, Kathy K, is planning a fish fry/BBQ on Sunday, Sept. 14th. I've given her your card and asked her to call you. If you ever need a reference, please do not hesitate to give them my name and phone number, I'll be singing your praises. With our heartfelt thanks,
– Jeanne & Everett Tomlinson
Thank you once again for your participation in our Juneteenth Celebration program on yesterday. Everyone really enjoyed you. I know our sound tech (James Taylor) touched base with you in order to inquire about hiring you for a private party. He actually works as a sound tech for Stevie Wonder. The pastor of our church was in attendance also and he really enjoyed your music as well. He expressed interest in hiring you also for a private engagement in the future.

Please accept our (BMW of North America's Western Region) thanks, and pass on the same to Elizabeth and Gerald, both of whom are also extraordinary musicians...and people!!! Warmest regards,
