They were absolutely excellent - they took the time to learn our requests, and we're completely professional during our wedding! They had arranged the songs to the perfect length, and it made our day wonderful

Very professional and prepared young ensemble. They fulfilled our requests, including a selection of music from the Harry Potter films, to an exceedingly high standard. I highly recommend!

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes! We are primarily a Duo, but there is the option to hire us as a Trio, Quartet or Quintet!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know. So long as you contact us with enough time to plan accordingly, there shouldn't be any issues!

How much time do you need to set up?

We would usually set up around 30-45 minutes before the performance time. This gives us time to adjust spacing if needed.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Absolutely! Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! We bring our own equipment including a stool for the Double Bass player (Anton), music stands, and amplifiers if required!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you!
