Wow you have so many options:
~ Steel Pan is very Caribbean
~ Aruba boasts some awesome DJ's
~ We have several excellent "One Man Bands"
~ I can think of at least 6 great Full Bands that are great!

It depends on your budget. I'm sure that we here on Aruba.com can guide you in the right direction.

To be honest the band idea is good, but having a DJ would and will give you more options and more versatility as to what type of music you would like to have at your wedding, DJ's can also be given suggestions, and requests without any problems. I'm certain your wedding planner can recommend you a few DJ's.

If you want to be more precise ask for DJ Yeimy, DJ Big Rig, DJ Jason, DJ Jean Carlo, those are some of the best, and they can also function as an MC!

Dj / band

Crystal Breeze is indeed very good. There is also this guy Jairo that has a band that used to play at Mr. Jazz Lounge called Party Posse. Have your hotel check their info. They have a huge selection and these guys are also very good. DJ wise, I know the guys that Jason recommends, but I know them only from clubs, not from wedding events. You can ask around and the two names that will come out each time is either dj Tino Daal or Elite Cool Pro DJ with Mark Benson. These guys run the wedding industry DJ and entertainment wise.
The same goes for example, photography and videography. You have newspaper photographer's and tv news videographers all excellent in their fields but not always good in art or documentary or weddings etc.
Best of luck.

Hey Photographer, you need to update your Rolodex. Tino is indeed quite good, and Mark no longer does weddings. Jairo's band is called Acoustic Soul, and is currently on sabbatical working on new material. I just did a wedding today, that was MC'ed and DJ'ed by DJ Big, and last week, I did one with DJ Jason, and I have one scheduled next week with DJ Yeimy.

Concerning the newspaper remark, Victor Winklaar's father is the owner of a newspaper, for which he works, and there is no doubt he is one of the BEST Wedding photographer's on the Island. And Julia Renfro also works for a newspaper on the Island and she's an exceptionally gifted wedding photographer as well. So your hypothesis is very wrong. I've also worked with the ATV News crew during a wedding recently, and they did an amazing job.

Greetings!
