Testimonials

Mike was extremely organized and professional prior to the event which provided me with a comfort level my money was being well spent. As far as his talent he is the finest most entertaining guitar player I have seen. He is welcome in my home anytime.
-Tom L, 9/2/2007, Christening, Warsaw, IN

My husband and I prior to our wedding decided to look on the internet for assistance in finding a band. As soon as we heard their samples, we knew immediately they were the band. Their song list was OUTSTANDING. My husbands family stated that they never dance and didn't think they would, but that all changed once they heard this band. They made a family of non-dancers, get up and dance. Mike Dangeroux, made our wedding wonderful.

Hello Mike, Just wanted to give you a big thanks for entertaining at my wedding! For all of you that read this want to tell you that you can't go wrong with Island Entertainment! I was just married on August 25th. I am a musician myself and I couldn't have thought to hire a DJ when almost all my friends I invited to the wedding were also musicians. So from a musicians point of view...Mike won't let you down, he and his band were phenomenal! I also had Mike hire a couple of horn players. Sax & Tombone. That was a really good Idea!! Now to the band...I really loved your playing and talent "right in the pocket!" You really had people dancing! Thanks,Dave

Mike Dangeroux and his band were fantastic from beginning to end! To begin with, he was extremely helpful when I first hired him, working with me to accommodate my budget. He answered my e-mails and phone calls promptly (something that in my experience doesn’t always happen and can be just that much more stressful when you’re the bride). At the wedding, they were just so much fun and truly added to making the night a special one. They let me and my friends sing at the mic and seemed to enjoy it rather than be bothered by it. The island music (which we requested) was great and the band was tight. If I could go back and redo the night I wouldn't change a thing!

Mike exceeded my expectations...many people were saying this band was incredible during the wedding. I was so pleased with Mikes performance I gave them a $700 tip. Mike was accomodating , professional and is extremely talented. If I were a teacher they would get an A for performance, A for talent and A for professionalism. Todd Page Groom

Great time, called Mike for a school-sponsored Caribbean Dinner. Everyone loved them!
-Diana L, 2/25/2007, Dinner Dance, Bloomington, IL

We did not know what to expect hiring a band off the interent, but Mike and his crew not only put on a great show for our event they drove through a blizzard to play. With out a doubt some the best talent we have ever hired from a band. Thanks for everything Mike hope to see you soon. Auto-Wares Inc Grand Rapids, MI
-Freddie B, 2/3/2007, Corporate Function, Grand Rapids, MI

Mike is absolutely fabulous! He and his band are consummate professionals in every sense of the word: very accommodating, very punctual, and incredible performers! They played for our annual company party to rave reviews. Our theme revolved around a Caribbean cruise, and his steel drum orchestra fit the venue perfectly. Mike was in frequent communication with me from the time I asked for the bid on Gigmasters until the party was ended so I never had to worry about the music. I highly recommend him and his band!
-Suzanne D, 1/20/2007, Corporate Function, Milwaukee, WI

Mike came with his reggae band to our Pumpkin party. They were absolutely wonderful. They got the crowd up and dancing. The majority of the group hadn't heard reggae before and they loved it. I would recommend them to anyone. They were very professional, on time and did a great job especially considering it was very cold and the party was outside!!
-Elizabeth K, 10/14/2006, Private Party, Laingsburg, MI

Mike and the crew were awsome. Everyone at the party enjoyed the music and still take about the band. They showed up just as planned and filled the outside air with great tunes, perfect for our end of the summer party. A++++++++++

Mike Dangeroux was great!!! We had them play at our wedding reception in Dayton, Ohio. Everyone at our reception thought they were outstanding & asked how we had found them. There was never a lull in the dancing either. The dance floor was covered all night. We even asked them to stay a little later and we agreed on an amount quickly and they were vey accomodating. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great band and a band that goes above & beyond.
