WEDDING'SandPRIVATE PARTY'S
"I wish to express what a pleasure it was to work with PanNeubean Steel for our May 26, 2007 wedding! We had a classy, tropical themed wedding so we requested a duo to play at both the ceremony and cocktail hour. Working with Jefferey Clayton was a delight-we did most of our contacts by email starting last June. Whenever I had a question, he was quick to email me back and we had a few phone conversations to finalize everything in the weeks leading to the wedding.
What he came up with and played completely surpassed my expectations. The ceremony went so smoothly and the music sounded amazing in the large cathedral church. People were commenting all day about our ceremony music and how great it was. Although neither myself nor my husband were at the cocktail hour to hear the music, guests were raving about the band. They said it was wonderful to walk into the reception hall and really feel like they could have been on an island in the Caribbean. Overall, the guests' enjoyment of PanNeubean Steel is still one of the highlights we hear most about our big day. Thank you Jeff for a wonderful addition to our amazing wedding day!"
DARCIE (Blanding) FOLSOM'S WEDDING
"This is a long overdue thank you for infusing our wedding on August 20, 2006 with such great music and spirit. From the saxophone to the vocals, we were blown away by the quality and magic you guys created.
Our guests said they have never been so compelled to dance at a wedding as they were when PanNeubean Steel played their dead-on renditions of reggae and calypso classics. You did such a great job getting people involved and just smiling on that dance floor. Most special for us, was when you began the night with "Waiting in Vain" for our first dance and did such a spectacular job. Thank you, Thank you. We hope to be invited to a wedding that you guys are playing or at least come up with an event to hire the band for."
JASONandJILL BUTTERWORTH'S WEDDING
"I first heard PanNeubean Steel at my mother's wedding and we all thought they were absolutely amazing. They played exactly what the crowd wanted to hear and they got nothing but compliments. So when my friends went looking for a band for their big day, of course I recommended PanNeubean Steel. It worked out fabulously! This wedding brought together an entirely different group of people and the band's sound still suited the party perfectly. Excellent performance! Beautifully mellow or flat-out rocking, PanNeubean Steel's broad range of styles is sure to include something that everyone will enjoy."
WEDDING GUEST'SDon and Darcy
"Thank you for helping to create a wonderful day for us! Your performance was outstanding, captivating and magical. We will never forget this experience for the rest of our lives. Special thanks to your saxophonist who came through with those special last minute requests that really made all the difference in the world."
DONandMIKE'S WEDDING
"Back in the spring of this past year we started looking for a band for my sister's 50th birthday party. Reggae music was what we were after since she had lived in the Caribbean and loved that type of music. I scoured the internet searching for information about New England Reggae groups. I came across PanNeubean Steel on a beautifully designed, professional and informative site. We hired them for the event after sampling the music on-line.
The day of the party the weather was less than perfect. In fact it was a torrential downpour. Since we had the party in a tent on the beach, less than 15 feet from the ocean, you could only imagine our anxiety. Soon after we set up, Jeff Clayton came on the scene and proceeded with a very professional, positive attitude. He put our minds at ease. The music started and the guests immediately began dancing and didn't stop all night. We all soon forgot about the conditions outside of the tent and began to lose ourselves in the wonderful music of PanNeubean Steel.
Many of the guests were asking where we found this incredible band. This very talented group was the highlight of the event. Thank you...thank you for making our evening a most memorable one! We would not hesitate and look forward to using PanNeubean Steel again."
KAREN KOULOPOULOS
"We were delighted with PanNeubean Steel at our wedding in June. Your very friendly band energized all to the grass to dance! The warm weather was a perfect match for your Caribbean Island Sound and what a fine sound you made. Regards..."

CORPORATE PARTY'S
"I recently hosted a party aboard one of the Boston Harbor Cruises and via their website, hired PanNeubean Steel. From my first contact with Jeff to the last moment of the trip, their professionalism, energy, and communication was second to none.
I would give the highest recommendation for the band, as they made the party the success that it was. They had the entire party dancing within the first 15 minutes of the trip and kept the party hopping until the boat docked."
Vice President PRODUCTION VALUES, INC.Laura McCarthy
"I want to extend my thanks to you for your professionalism during your performance August 27, 2004 prior to the Kenny Chesney event at the Tweeter Center Mansfield. PanNeubean Steel performed at a hospitality event in a private VIP area for the Tweeter Center and its box and season seat members. The band provided a warm tropical sound for our guests to enjoy. We had one of the best turnouts that evening. You were a huge hit with the clients and staff!
On behalf of the Tweeter Center and the VIP Staff we thank you again and look forward to working with you in the future."
Sales Coordinator TWEETER CENTER, MANSFIELD,MA
"On behalf of all the Rotarians who attended the Caribbean Beach Party at our District Conference...I want to extend our thanks and appreciation for your performance that night. Very honestly, I was very apprehensive about the whole thing, particularly because this event was extremely important to me. I had never met you nor had I ever seen you and your associates perform. I didn't know what to expect. I had no reason to worry.
The infectious enthusiasm and obvious talent of you and the artists performing with you made the whole evening probably the most successful conference event our District has ever had. From the first note you played until the end of this wonderful evening you had everyone involved and enjoying themselves. I can't tell you how many people have told me what a special night is was, primarily due to your presence. The representative from the President of Rotary International, present that night, said the whole thing was a 'stroke of genius'.
Thank you so much for your efforts. I highly recommend you to anyone who is planning an event of this type. I only wish we could do it again!"
District GovernorROTARY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION
"Your band sounds great, looks great, and made us feel like people worthy of such quality. You are a morale booster."
HEBREW REHABILITATION CENTER
"I was in a jam finding someone to play during our Diversity Week Celebration, but PanNeubean Steel was available and really made a difference. They came early and set-up without any disturbance to anyone eating in the dining room already. All the students that attended really enjoyed their music, I watched everyone as they entered the dining room after a long day of classes and other hassles that college students go through, but once they heard the music being played, their faces instantly lit up, it was quite funny, but enjoyable.
I would definitely call them back to play at our college again in the future, and I'm recommending them to other colleagues in the area."
Director of OperationsBon Appetit Management CompanyEMMANUEL COLLEGE
"PanNeubean Steel was fantastic, very professional, easy to work with, very flexible and accomodating. The sound was excellent and we really felt like we were on the beach in the islands. Everyone had a fabulous time and we hope to make it an annual event!"
HAGS&STAGS
"I can't tell you enough how much fun we all had last week. The music that PanNeubean Steel provided was superb. You were a delight to watch and listen to. I must say that your performance far exceeded our expectations.
What a performance! Thank you so much for a wonderful day. We all had a super time and I am amazed of the number of people who were dancing. We didn't want to leave...It was a memorable day!"
DECK HOUSE, INC.
"The ladies at Rosie's Place had the marvelous opportunity to hear PanNeubean Steel perform on April 17, 2007. It only took three members of the band to turn our dining room into a concert hall. They had the women up on their feet, dancing and singing together. It was a rare experience, and an afternoon we won't soon forget. Of course, they are welcome to return any time-we hope it will be soon."
Program DirectorROSIE'S PLACEAlev Danis
"Absolutely FABULOUS! PanNeubean Steel is an authentic steel band that transports your guests to the tropics! We received rave reviews from our clients and guests; and will continue to offer them as a music vendor here at the CoCo Key Water Resort at the Sheraton Ferncroft."
