STEEL GUITARS Review (January 2008):

I am looking at wedding bands for my Penang wedding to be held in December and I have came across numerous negative accounts of the band STEEL GUITARS.

I have heard first hand accounts from my dear friend who had STEEL GUITARS at their wedding in December that the band was very unprofessional. The band was rude to the couple and their friends as well as insensitive over particular needs the couple had outlined. Timeline to the night's event was not followed, instead the band decided to "improvise" and dishonor the couple's wishes on how the night should be. The bride and groom was put on the spot as "amusement" in their own wedding reception because the band claimed they saw need to "liven" things up. To top that off, the singer(s) was a disappointment from the choice of songs that did not concur with the couple's request of a classic jazz composition.

Every wedding couple plans to have their special, tailored wedding reception – looking at details from the invitations to the reception event's music, etc. STEEL GUITARS would not be the band for you seeing that their M.O. (modus operandi) is to perform "their very own concert".

Another account I received was from my parents. They had recently attended a friend's wedding where STEEL GUITARS were the entertainment of the evening. My parents together with their friends reported to me that the band's performance was outright pathetic. The vocal from the band was nothing to shout; in fact they were down right awful - amateurish. The tone of the evening as delivered by the band was nothing close to classy and/or elegant but tacky.

My dear friend wrote to the band voicing her disappointment with their performance and was presented with a very non-apologetically response. According to the band, and I quote:

" As far as Steel Guitars Concept Entertainers is concern, the band leader is there, the function is successful and we don't look into details. That's how Steel Guitars handle function - the impromptu /emotional zone/atmosphere and that's what make Steel Guitars famous internationally. That is our service to our clients." – STEEL GUITARS (January '08)

STEEL GUITARS does NOT LOOK INTO DETAILS!! Please let this be a warning for couples who are searching for bands. If you have decided to go with STEEL GUITARS or have booked their services, I suggest a black and white contract with all YOUR specifications to ensure no "surprises" on your night's event. The contract should also specify and include what happens if the band decided to break the terms as outlined on the contract.

Hi twilight_twix,

I agree with you fully on STEEL GUITAR. Also watch out the boss called RICHARD. You will regret using them! And they are not cheap also!

Hi, wonder you have heard a solo singer by the name of Daniel Boone? He sings for wedding, birthday and any other functions... He has beautiful voice...

pat boone yes.. daniel boone is ??

Hi.
Yep! I recommended a friend to listen to his Tuesday evening audition. It was OK, but on my friend's son's wedding day the musicians that turn up were different. They were very amateaur and disappointing. He shortchanged us. Watch out!

I have a contact for bands. The boss is Ronnie and the company name is Katron. His mobile number is 017-477 5297.

They can find different style of bands as per your request. And their pricing is very reasonable.

I heard Steel Guitars charges very high and the profit all goes into the boss' pocket, not the bands
