Steel Drum Band ROR

jawedding · June 22, 2009

Hi!

Has anybody had the steel drum band play anything other than Cannon in D while they walked down the isle? I am thinking of getting them for an hour (just because I think it will be easier than figuring out timing with CD's etc, plus it will be nice to have them entertain our guests for an hour after the ceremony!)

I'm just wondering what kinds of things they play? is it island music?

Dr. Brainfreeze and Petals had them play at theirs. Try PMing them that should help.

I am having a steel pan trio (not at ROR). They are playing Can't help falling in love for my bridal party processional and one love for our recessional.

You can play almost any song on the steelpan. If you have a favourite song, you should check with the band to see if they can play it.

Otherwise I'm sure it would be a mix of recognizable popular tunes mixed in with some reggae or "island" tunes and songs specifically composed for the steelplan.

Here is a link to some video of our Steel Drum band before the wedding. I walked down to Cannon in D and we walked back up to One love. But they have a whole list that you can choose from. The music varies, but it sounds very islandy.

I had the steel band at my wedding. They did the traditional wedding march as I walked down the aisle (my request) other than that I just said to play anything reggae/jamaican. Think they played a Phil collins one but to be honest its all a blur!!

When do they give you the list of songs? Does Chandlyn have that?
