Amazing Performance!

We hired Hu to play at our wedding reception last month during our cocktail hour and boy did he exceed our expectations! We loved every song he played and he really created the perfect tropical vibe we were going for playing our favourite socca songs! Everyone enjoyed the music and even though I couldn't see him play.. I was jamming out from the bridal room lol We 100% recommend you hire him for your event!
Hu, thank you so much for such an amazing performance. As a former steel pan player, I have to say you were just incredible! We truly were impressed and so happy you put our vision to reality ❤️

Best Caribbean Staff Lunch Ever!!

We can't thank Steeldrum Hu and his band member enough. Our last staff lunch event for the season ended on such a high note. The live music and positive energy generated by Hu brought smiles to the entire staff. We combined the island music with a Caribbean inspired menu from Fizz Events and it was a 10 on 10! We will definitely bring Hu back and I highly recommend him for your special events. Professional, punctual, kind and so talented. Thank YOU Steeldrum HU!!

Awesome Day, Great Tunes!

We had Hu and his guitarist out for our annual food event. Couldn't have been more pleased. I was nervous about arrival time given the long drive necessary from Toronto and long weekend traffic but they planned accordingly and we had no issues. Very professional, arrived early, played 4 or 5 sets of music, stuck to the discussed schedule and requested play vibe (roots reggae). They even stuck around for a farm tour and helped out with the chores! We will have them back and can confidently reccomend them.

Nobody has been holiday travelling due to COVID so Hu did a fabulous job in bringing the island ambience to our Mississauga affair.

Hulan is amazing

Hulan was above and beyond a wonderful addition to my entertainment portion after my piano recital. He was very professional and has an amazing smile. He arrived early to set up, and was ready to go right when he was scheduled to start. Everyone in attendance, from the children to the adults LOVED him, and his music. They all enjoyed his interaction with them and how he let them play on his steel drum. The kids also loved dancing to his music. Hulan was scheduled to play for half an hour, but saw that people were still around and he didn’t stop playing. He went over the time I hired him for and that was very much appreciated!! Hulan added such a relaxing tone to the whole day, and the parents were very grateful that their kids had so much fun. Hulan’s motorcycle was also a huge hit, as some people took pictures beside it, and someone even got on his bike, and took a picture. I will definitely be hiring Hulan again for an event!! My rating for Hulan is 11/10 .

You need to hire this man!

Hulan (Hugh) arrived early (always a good start) to set up. He greeted me with a friendly hug and his warm personality made him an instant hit with my large family. We even joined in the gig, as we had a set of bongos. My family haven't stopped talking about the event - I haven't seen my family sing and dance - maybe ever ... but they did with Hulan. Reliable, uber friendly and professional - great sounds and he takes requests. What more could you ask for. Hire this man!

Retirement Party

Hulan plated at my Mother's retirement party. He arrived prior to the event to set up and was ready as guests were walking into the venue. Not only did he do a great job playing pan but he sang for us as well. His music selection pleased every person in the group. He always had a smile on his face and you could tell he enjoyed entertaining. His professionalism, punctuality and versatility impressed myself and the guests. I would definetly use Hulan again and highly recommend his services. Cathy

Hu set the mood for our beach themed party!

I recently hired Hu to provide music for our "Costa Rica Beach Party". He was amazing! He helped set the mood for an upcoming vacation in Costa Rica for all my friends and family. I have never been able to get people up to dance before at house party, but Hu was able to easily accomplish this. I received so many compliments following the party, letting me know how much fun they had and this had alot to do with Hu and his amazing music, along with his sparkling personality.

Hu was amazing

I heard Hu play last year at a wedding and I thought him and his partner where amazing. they really got the people involved and everyone had a wonderful time. I hired Hu for this past Sunday Sept 30, 13 to play for my dads celebration of life. My dad loved dancing and always loved up beat music and we wanted the to be fun just like our dad and Hu did amazing job. So many people came up to us and asked where we found him. I personally want to thank you from the bottom of my heart the event would not have been the same without you. I will most definitely hire you in the future for any my events. You are truly terrific and have great fun personality. My rating for Hu 10out 10

So Happy To Have Hired Hulan

Hulan really set the mood at our wedding reception cocktail hour. We had a Jamaican theme to our wedding and we asked him to play more of those types of songs. He was great and had everyone watching him and dancing and singing along. We were very happy that we hired him for our event and would highly recommend him for yours. He is nice, has a great smile on his face the whole time he performs, and is very professional!

Best decision for my dad's 75th birthday party!!

Last Sunday (June 23rd) we held a surprised 75th birthday party for my Dad and we were looking for a change to spice things up and I found Hulan on the internet. I spoke with him on the phone and was very happy that he could accommodate us.

This was the best thing we could have done! Hulan took the party by storm! My dad and all my relatives were really excited by the steel pan music and the quality Hulan performed at.

Hulan selection of music was extensive and before too long, we were all dancing through the afternoon!

I highly recommend Hulan for any party or event and a steel drum band is different and a refreshing change of music.

Thank you Hulan for making my dad’s 75th birthday party a one to remember!!

Great entertainment for a tropical bridal shower!

I had Hulan play at my bridal shower which was a tropical island theme shower. He played for 110 ladies and he was wonderful! He arrived well in advance of the start time to set up. He was friendly to everyone and smiled the entire time he played. He even dressed the part with his tropical shirt and hat, and was willing to wear one of our leis! He played continuously for an hour which is the time we booked him for before our lunch started. He played all of my requests and ended with my favourite song. The ladies loved the music, and a few even said they wanted to get up and dance. His music really created a great atmosphere and made us feel like we were in the Caribbean. We had a fabulous time and I would highly recommend him if you’re looking for a steel drum player. I am so glad he was able to join us for this special occasion! Thanks so much, Hulan!

Hu made a great impression on an old birthday boy!

We recently held a 60th birthday party for my Dad. As we tossed around ideas for music, it was brought up that we saw Hu play at the Oro World's Fair and he was really good. We thought a steel drum band might be an interesting style of entertainment for our party on a cold December night.

He was very pleasant and his energy and love of music was felt by all who attended. He accommodated requests that we had for music selections and he was very respectful with the volume of his music for our older guests who were hard of hearing and wanted to be able to hear their conversations as well as the music he was playing. The selection of music was extensive and I appreciate that Hu suggested he start playing 1/2 hour earlier than anticipated as all of our guests arrived earlier than expected to our event.

I highly recommend Hu for any party or event. Having a steel drum band is different than a DJ and all of our guests were pleasantly surprised when he started playing. A few guests even mentioned that they liked the Christmas music played on the steel drum, it was different and very enjoyable.

Thank you Hu, you really added enjoyment to Dad's party. We wish you all the best and hope to see you at another event soon!

Hulan's performance at our semi formal dance was great. His presence enhanced our tropical theme. Hulan was the professional in every way. He arrived early, played great music and was very friendly with the staff and students. If anyone is thinking tropical as a party or dance theme, call him!

Hulan went above and beyond

Thanks so much Hulan for playing at my sisters baby shower/wedding reception this weekend.

Everyone LOVED the music and you! You definitely made the party. You were such a treat to be around and the kids loved dancing in the grass to the steel drum.

I have some photos I will send you also :)

Thanks again for making our party such a success.
