Barbara and Mihael played recently at our wedding and we couldn’t recommend them more! They were truly the highlight of our day and all of our guests continue to compliment us on how great they were. From the get go, they were really flexible and responsive to our requests and on the day they excelled all of our expectations. They are an incredibly talented duo and they completely transformed our wedding dinner with the most beautiful vocals and acoustic guitar sets. Thank you so much for the memories, we are so grateful you could play at our wedding. Louise and Dan X
