Client Feedback

  • Kristian Paradis was awesome!! He came early and beat the traffic - we had customers commenting to the door girl and floor manager about the great entertainment was. Normally, those compliments are resolved only for the exotic dancers, but at our Bikini Party, Kristian's steel drums did much to convert the feel of our Manhattan location into a tropical island. -- Adam W, New York, NY, 7/21/2011
  • Kristian Paradis was AWESOME!! We went for a beach theme wedding a week ago and he just added to the excitement of the day! I am still getting calls on how great he was! In fact, people want lessons :) I would recommend Kristian to ANYONE who wants the mood of their wedding to be relaxing and enjoyable for their guests! THANKS FOR HELPING TO MAKE OUR DAY UNFORGETTABLE! ANNMARIE & CHRISTOPHER PETRELLA 8-8-09 -- Annmarie S, Claymont, DE, 8/8/2009
  • Everything I read about him from his previous clients was all true. He was professional, kind, sharing, talented and accomodating to his audience of 120 plus people. I, personally, enjoyed my evening with him very much. My outdoor picnic was definitely topped off and excelled by having him here to play his lovely, exciting music. -- Devah B, Bordentown, NJ, 7/11/2009
  • May I say that Kristian's performance at a company event was beyond expectations. Kristian delivered his performance and entertained our company employees to the highest expectations. We were pleased of his overall performance, execution with the Steel Pan's and professionalism. Kristian is very likable and we cannot wait to bring him back to our company to give us yet another satisfying event. I would extremely recommend Kristian to a friend and also at any business function, or personal function, because I am CONFIDENT, that you will be satisfied. Enjoy! -- Brandi D, Trevose, PA, 3/26/2009
  • Our experience with Kristian was wonderful! He came to our house in the middle of a driving rain storm- for an outside event! Luckily we had set up a covered area for him. He wasn't affected by the weather at all. He set up his equipment and as soon as he started playing, the rain stopped and the sun came out! His music was great and I got so many complements related to how beautiful and relaxing it was. Many thought they were on a tropical island (minus the beach!) I would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone's event. It was a great experience from beginning to end! -- Lee P, Breinigsville, PA, 6/13/2009
  • Kristian played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He was talented, professional and an absolute pleasure. The guests raved about him. He played a huge part in making our day special and we would recommend him to anyone. Stephen & Beth Booth -- Beth M, Brigantine, NJ, 4/10/2009
  • Great dealing with Kristian -- very professional, likable, great sound and process. I would HIGHLY recomend him to anyone needing a Steel Band performance -- everyone wanted his card at the end of the evening and greatly enjoyed the evening -- I cannot say enough about how good he truly was. -- Bob A, South Plainfield, NJ, 2/27/2009
  • Kristian was the keystone ingredient that made our event spectacular. He really knew how to create the best environment for a specific crowd and his talent was clearly superior. Kristian is kind, flexible and fair. -- Taylor R, New York, NY, 4/17/2009
  • Kristian was AMAZING!!!! Besides being incredibly talented on his instrument, he was also wonderful with our guests - he played a great mix of music that appealed to my parents and their friends (in their 80s!), my college age kids, and even the young children in the crowd, and he had everybody dancing the whole time... Even before the party, he was an absolute pleasure to work with - He answered all of my questions promptly by e-mail, and even gave me some party throwing advice that really made this the most fun celebration I've ever been a part of. I am already discussing my next party with Kris, and I expect that I'll see him at my friends' parties too! A+++ -- Heather W, Bryn Mawr, PA, 1/24/2009

  • Kristian Paradis is simply fabulous. To be blunt, he was perfect in communications prior to the event, easy to speak with, and took pride and initiative in handling my requests.He confirmed everything on time, and answered emails and phone calls rapidly.He arrived with plenty of time to set up and was covert about handling the element of surprise,as the bride and groom were not told about him. He performed beyond compare and kept the guests at peak.The music was stellar.Everyone is still raving! Thank you Kristian, I can't think ofanything you could have done better. I can't wait until we can hire you again! -- Holly W, Beachwood, NJ, 5/16/2010
  • For our daughter’s wedding on Aug 22, 2009 at the Breaker's in Spring Lake, we wanted music during the outdoor cocktail hour. We could not have selected a better musician than Kristian Paradis and his steel drum. Kristian was excellent. The music he played was outstanding, his attire and professional appearance were superb. Our guests were entertained by the soft/island melody Kristian played on his steel drum. We recommend him very highly to anyone looking for a great musical performance. I will most certainly use Kristian again in the future. -- Kari M, Spring Lake, NJ, 8/22/2009
