Absolutely blown away by this couple. We hired them for a Bushcraft festival and all in attendance loved their evening of music. I would definitely recommend them. So talented and friendly. One of the highlights of our Bushmoot event.

Both Charlie and Rebecca were outstanding - we booked them for a engagement on a beach (which wasn’t easy to get down!) but they went above and beyond. They even learnt our requested song on short notice - would definitely recommend to anyone.

Great, Rebecca and Charlie were on time and set up before our service. I walked in to the beautiful sound of A Thousand Years as requested and the whole ceremony was wonderful, Rebecca and Charlie are a delightful duo who made our ceremony and celebrations run smoothly. We loved them. We would recommend them for any occasion. Vena and Denis Gilbert

Well what can I say about Charlie & Rebecca...! We knew we wanted to book them the moment we heard them but never imagined the real thing would be so amazing. From our first conversation to discuss details to the wedding day itself, it felt as if we had know them for years, they are so talented, helpful and have great personalities. We and our guests enjoyed every minute and as the night moved up a tempo our guests didn't hesitate to get on the dance floor. Chris and Rebecca performed at our ceremony right through to the end of the night and it was truly amazing. Guys, I can't thank you enough, you were out of this world!! Sian & Dom 🎻🥀 ❤️👰‍♂🤵
